Description[]

From a treatise on lyrium and its varied forms. Ser's words make one passage stand out:

The means and usage employed by the templar are far stronger than even the droughts of magi, and are of considerable danger to the uninitiated. It is not something that is introduced in gradual fashion. Rather, it is a great infusion that is daily held in check by ritual maintenance.

An account:

We entered the makeshift chantry, and my comrades-to-be were arranged as though an honor guard - the trainer waiting to receive me. I was invited to pass among them, and it seemed important that each step be my will. Any reluctance would have signaled that I was not ready. They were boisterous and encouraging, slapping hands upon my shoulders as I passed. Upon reaching the trainer, he turned to me. Before him was the boxed philter I had prepared. He nodded, as if to ask if I was ready, and I returned the gesture. His eyes were solemn as he raised a mailed hand. It was bathed in the shapeless glow of lyrium far too strong, prepared in a way I did not know.

The hands of my fellows, still on my shoulders, gently turned from welcome to restraint, and my arms were made immobile at my sides. I felt a rising alarm, but my certainty beat it down, as it would many times in my career. The trainer pressed the glow against my chest, and in an instant all was pain and white. When next I had my senses, there was much camaraderie and rejoicing, but also knowing looks. Each day, I felt a hunger deeper than I had ever known, and woe be me if it went unfed. I cannot imagine bearing it without the support of the Order and my certain purpose.

Several instructions for handling lyrium follow.

From Codex entry: Way of the Templar

Warriors who specialize in the Templar discipline empower not only themselves, but those around them, making every battle a little easier. Whether dispelling hostile magic or inspiring your comrades, this discipline puts an emphasis on supporting the party. Because of the templars' proficiency in battling mages and demons, this specialization is especially useful in closing Fade Rifts.

One of the templar's most powerful combos is the Stun-Eldritch combo: use Wrath of Heaven to stun foes and detonate with Spell Purge for massive AoE spirit damage.

Acquisition[]

This specialization is obtainable through the Quest Way of the Templar, obtained from Ser.

Notes[]

There may be issues with being able to purchase the broken philters from the store at Skyhold, as they aren't always stocked. A workaround is to:

  1. Quick travel to Skyhold (if you are already in Skyhold, you need to leave and quick travel back).
  2. Once your screen finishes loading into Skyhold the game will auto save. Once it auto saves, exit completely out of the game.
  3. Change the Date/Time on the clock of your system ahead 5 hours (be sure to change the AM/PM and the Date if necessary).
  4. Load back into the game and load your Skyhold auto save.
  5. The store should now be updated and contain broken philters for sale. If none, try again.
