Dragon Age: Inquisition

This achievement is obtained through normal story progression but can be Missed if not done in the correct way.

Here is how you obtain Dragon Age: Inquisition – Trial of the Temperance Achievement.

First of all you need to turn the trial ON.

From the Pause menu select Options and then Trials. Once in the Trial menu check the "Rest Easy" trial from the list and press B. The game will ask you to confirm changes and then place you back in the Pause menu.

The "Rest Easy" modifier makes you lose all Aggregated Focus (the Hash mark bar that appears over your health) for the entire Team anytime you claim a new camp/stronghold, rest at the camp/stronghold or fast travel to any location.

To get this Achievement you MUST turn this Trial on BEFORE heading to Emprise du Lion on the world map. If you enter this area without the trial turned ON and then turn it ON once in the zone the achievement will NOT pop. The trial must remain on at all times while inside Emprise du Lion.

If you are not sure if this is your first time in Emprise du Lion there is an easy way to find out. Upon entering this area for the first time there will be a cut-scene with your friendly Dwarf Scout Lace Harding. After the cut-scene/dialogue you are free to proceed to the Suledin Keep.

This Achievement is pretty easy to obtain.

The easiest way to complete this Trial is to load a previous save from before entering Emprise du Lion. If you don't have an older save to load you will need to start a new play through....

Game difficulty does NOT effect this achievement.

(I suggest Casual to keep the leveling of the new Character to a minimum - I had a lvl 12 Warrior save to load and had no issues)

On the new play through you will need to progress all the way through the opening town of Haven and reach Skyhold. To acquire this location you will need to begin the "A Timely Intervention" side quest which serves as an introduction to Emprise du Lion as a new questing area.

Depending on what difficulty the game is being played on you may need to fast travel to refill your potions or to heal and that is OK. Focus builds rather quickly as you make your way to the Keep since there are a lot of enemies to dispatch on the way.

Once you discover the Suledin Keep it is pretty straight forward. The Keep itself is a big spiral leading to the lookout at the top of the Keep. There will be lots of Red Templar to Kill as well as two large troll giants and a Demon that can be skipped depending on how you respond to him. Take is offer get the items or kill him and get the items either choice is fine.

Once at the top of the Keep claim it for the Inquisition! After the cut-scene plays and you regain control of your character the achievement will pop!

Congratulations you now have the 15G Trial of the Temperance chevo!

If you vote please comment either way

ENJOY!

The night is long
And the path is dark
Look to the sky
For one day soon
The dawn will come!

Since the other guide here was “created with the impression that the player has actually played the game before” and this was my first time playing the game (I still haven’t completed it, as of the time of writing this), I will add this guide.

Turn on the “Rest Easy” trial (in the in-game menu under “Options” and then “Trials”). In all honesty, I don’t know when/where the point of no return is for turning it on. I turned it on in Skyhold before unlocking the Emprise du Lion area. Others have commented under the other guide for this achievement when/where they have turned it on to varying degrees. I recommend doing it sooner rather than later just in case. The trial makes it so that you lose Focus whenever you rest or travel. If you’re playing on an easy enough difficulty, this shouldn’t be an issue if you turn it on too early. Now, go to the war table and select the “Liberate Emprise du Lion” operation, choose an advisor, and complete it. Then, go to Emprise du Lion.

Upon arriving at Emprise du Lion, you are tasked with eliminating some red templars and must complete a couple of quests. The first of these quests is called “Take Back the Lion.” You must defeat large groups of red templars and “claim” each of their camps (3 in total) as your own. This can be done in the same manner that you have always created camps in previous areas. This is no small task, unless you are over-leveled. I started with a level 12 two-handed warrior. Maybe I’m slow, but it took me a 2-3 hours to complete. Throughout your attempt at this achievement, you will fight various types of red templars, giants, wolves (depending on luck and route chosen), and a demon (depending on conversation choices).

After claiming the first three camps, you will start the quest “Capturing Suledin Keep.” It is the same principle as “Take Back the Lion,” but you only have one final camp to claim as your own. Deal with some red templars, and you will then talk to a demon and maybe fight it. To avoid the fight, accept one of his offers (there are in-game consequences if you accept one of his offers beyond simply avoiding the fight). After dealing with the demon, climb the final set of stairs and claim the camp. There will be a cutscene. Then, after you’ve regained control of your character, the achievement will unlock.
