Necromancer is a specialization of the Mage class in Dragon Age 3: Inquisition.

 

These mages specialize in binding the spirits that are drawn to death. They can put the fear of death into enemies, bring spirits to fight on their behalf, and even cause devastating explosions when their enemies die.

 

How to Become a Necromancer


You must complete the quest Way of the Necromancer in or to receive this Specialization. It initiates by speaking with Viuus Anaxas in the Skyhold courtyard after completing the Specializations for the Inquisitor War Table Operation. You must collect 20 Bloodstone and 3 Nevarran Skulls from the 3 locations listed below. They are NOT random drops, but instead drop from 3 specific enemies. Once you've collected the above materials you must craft the Jeweled Skull at an "Inspect Requisitions" bench.


Adorn a skull in jewels, study the art of necromancy, and Viuus Anaxas will reveal the secrets of the Nevarran death mages. Destroy undead to gain Nevarran Skulls at: 1 in Apostate's Landing, 1 in Small Grove, and 1 in Storm's Solitude in The Storm Coast. Readings can be found among the belongings of Dorian or, if those are unavailable, the wares of the book merchant in Val Royeaux.

  • Objectives:
  1. Acquire Writing on Necromancy.
  2. Acquire three Nevarran Skulls.
  3. Acquire 20 Bloodstones.
  4. Gather jeweled skull materials.
