Where To Find All Seeds In Dragon Age: Inquisition

Skyhold is your home base in Dragon Age: Inquisition. While there, you can talk to people, craft things, and generally prepare for the dangers ahead. Just because it’s an important place for The Inquisition and their cause doesn’t mean it can’t also be nice to look at. The garden situated within Skyhold’s main building helps make the place more beautiful.

It also can provide you with a place to grow and harvest herbs that can help you on your adventure. However, you first need to figure out how the seed nursery works. So, here is everything you could possibly want to know about the subject.

How To Unlock The Skyhold Seed Nursery

The garden unlocks after you reach Skyhold. You may have to leave and come back to be able to reach it, but once the debris is cleared, you can get to it through the first door on your left in the main building.

How To Complete A Greener Garden

Once you’ve accessed your garden, the first thing you should do is complete the A Greener Garden quest to upgrade it.

To unlock the quest, you need to gain access to your quarters at Skyhold. So, you have to leave the place and come back at least one time for your quarters to be ready.

Then, head inside your quarters and grab the piece of paper from your desk. This unlocks the A Greener Garden quest, which tasks you with getting various materials to upgrade Skyhold’s garden.

You need 30 Spindleweed, 30 Elfroot, 30 Blood Lotus, and one logging stand. You can gather all of this from The Hinterlands. Spindleweed, Elfroot, and Blood Lotus are common herbs you can find growing in The Hinterlands. So, just roam for a while to locate them.

As for the logging stand, you can find one right near the Forest Camp on The Hinterlands map. It’s just southeast of the camp, on the other side of a small mountain.

Once you have all the supplies, head over to the Quartermaster icon on the Skyhold map. It’s in the building next to where Cassandra typically hangs out. Interact with the ‘Inspect Requisitions’ table, then select and craft the Skyhold Garden to finish the A Greener Garden quest.

Pick A Garden Type

Once you’ve done the A Greener Garden quest, you can then select what type of garden you want it to be. You do this by interacting with the mechanism in the center of the seed nursery. Then, you get to choose between a Chantry Garden and a Herb Garden.

Outside of how they look, there isn’t a huge difference between the two garden types. Here are the main things that separate the two:

• Chantry Garden – Unlocks additional war table missions.
• Herb Garden – Gives you more pots in which to grow things.

How To Plant And Harvest From The Nursery

To plant a herb in the nursery, all you have to do is go up to one of the pots and hit the button indicated on the screen. Then, you select what seed you want to plant.

Once the seed is planted, you will have to wait for it to sprout. Some progress will be made every time you leave Skyhold and come back.

When the herb is fully grown, you can harvest it by going up to it and hitting the button on the screen.

Once an herb has been harvested, you can plant a new seed in the pot or leave it to grow the same herb again.

Where To Find Every Seed

You don’t just automatically have all the herbs you need. You must acquire them. Unfortunately, there is an element of randomness to this.

To pick up seeds, you have to harvest herbs out in the wild. However, you won’t always get a seed for doing so. So, you may have to harvest the same type of herb a number of times to gain the seed for it.

On a more positive note, once you have the seed of a herb, you can plant it countless times. Therefore, you don’t need to keep finding seeds for the same plant.
