If you wait for the second bell to ring for the ball, your Herald will say that he is now "fashionably late" and you get an instant 10 points of approval; waiting a little before heading to the ballroom can then help you. However, if you wait too long and the third bell rings, you lose 20 points of approval for being unacceptably late.
Fuck me sideways with a rusty pole on Sunday....did this 4 times and it didn't pop, then realised i already had the achievement...how did i get it without knowing exactly?
LOL. Sometimes achi notifications don't show on screen/happen, but when you check they're there. I definitely would've checked before doing the whole thing 3 more times though LOLOLOL.
Thanks a lot - Struggled the first time through as a completionist I want to open everything but second time through I gather myself together followed your vid and voila I finally got the achievement. Now back to my save and take my time collecting ha ha! Thanks for taking the time for us :)
I know you made this video 4 years ago.. but thank you so much!!!! This was my last trophy to get platinum! And I got it even playing as a elf! People still playing this game you will get the trophy following this video!
Your amazing bro, I finally found the last piece in the western approach, if it wasn't for your video I probably would have had to go for something else I wouldn't enjoy, thanks a lot.
Not sure why, but that fashionably late thing with the second bell can glitch and never happen as well as the the third one no matter how long you stand around. Quite annoying.
18 minutes in I was really confused. I did everything just like you did yet you had 86 approval and I had 59??? I got an auto -10 for being mage but 59 is a lot more than just 10 less.
i believe elves and qunari get a loss of approval, dwarves neutral, and humans get a gain dont remember how much. 4 years on so you probably dont care any more.
Very helpful guide. What was Bioware thinking adding some silly, bullshit quest like this? Bad enough the game has gear / weapons with level requirement, Inquisition points, shards and other filler crap. Bioware tried too hard to extend the length of the game with this timed mission, Cloak and Dagger nonsense. If the new Mass Effect has anything like this in it, I'm definitely skipping out.
***** The problem is the RNG loot drop in this game is insane and stands out more than the story. The collectibles here have no real payoff other than unnecessary padding. The grind in Inqusition starts to feel like a chore since the story is relatively weak aside from a few interesting NPCs, unlike in RPGs where the opposite is true.
They always mention "the game" , so I really was looking up for those quests, but it turned to be this was a timed bullshit nonsense, my character was a complete idiot of the situation even with the nobility and underground perks, I really hated all that dialogue idiocy and how I was penalized for explore, a thing that the game always encouraged you to do.
I really appreciated the intricacies Bioware added to DAI! It's very rewarding to explorers and I hate to tell you but LvL requirements are nothing new to RPGs, especially MMOs! If you wait til level ~25 it's much easier.
I just finished the game and i know im 4 years late, because i just got my ps4. To me, this is the most interesting main quest in the game. Feels like im watching game of thrones while being in it at the same time. And i was really nervous.
rizky fahrozy agreed. I thought it was fun, exploring the politics side of dragon age. I kind of enjoyed how they kind of stretched the game out a bit? I don’t know, that’s just me. Also the EXP gain is very annoying, it takes at least two and a half hours to level up ONCE. sorry, rant over
Hm, how curious. I'm not sure if they changed things or if it's because my character is female, but I was getting 7 points where you only got 4! Either way, I really appreciate this video. I was really stressing over this achievement.
I'm pretty sure I went into the ball room with +90 and didn't get the trophy. But if you say you need +85 then maybe I was wrong. I made a save just at the start of the Palace in case I needed to repeat, and I will.
ok I redid this with a mage and it still works, If you are a mage, you start with less and some of the answers are not even listed, or you get no points for using them, but you will still end up in the ballroom with 90 points. Just follow the as much as it lets you and don't stress.
I did it with a mage the first time and had less approval than I did in this video. That's how I got the trophy. Just need to make sure to have ~85+ Approval at the end and confront the Duchess.
With 5 statuettes you can open the door @ 24:26. It gives you some dirty info on Celene, not sure if it's required for the 3-way truce though. Been there once and didn't go in this time, because 2 out of the 3 dialogue options in that room give you -14 approval.
MrVuule I followed your guide precisely. you got it wrong on the" Leave him there option" -you're suppose to release him to testify against Celene, that is pivotal for the 3-way segment truce . Also,Nobility acknowledge gives you +9 approval points during Ball"s dance i reloaded to that part & realize where i got wrong... you need to change that part of your description too :D - Merry-Xmas
Tatsumi Anime Superhero Fan I never said you aren't supposed to release him. I said that if you're going for the trophy/achievement and you talk to him, you should consider leaving him there, as the other options will lower your approval. If however you follow the video guide, you'll end up with 100+ approval, and the approval you lose from releasing him shouldn't matter as it won't drop you below 100, but if you want to be absolutely sure about your approval rating, don't bother going in there at all.
MrVuule oh i think the recent patch alry fix,i only had 94 approval points finishing this,it just have to be over 70 to get the trophy. When i release him,there is 0 court approval,no deduction on my end so its much simpler now i guess
the achievement is bugged and only pops up if you talk to Florianne and expose her in front of everyone meaning you'll have to skip on her boss fight. it's best to make a new save incase something goes wrong or if you want to fight her and get the unique (purple) bow
The ball is so freaking annoying playing on the PC. I just rush through it. The search function is so difficult good luck finding any of those coins and those freaking statues are a total pain to find. I wound up having all of them but Gaspy killed. My female human mage could care less if this country burns.

thank you so much wad confused as he'll about that
and you can gain this two times

Thanks for the video. I finished with 98 approval and the achievement popped roughly at the 28:30 mark.
I know you made this video 4 years ago.. but thank you so much!!!! This was my last trophy to get platinum! And I got it even playing as a elf! People still playing this game you will get the trophy following this video!
Ty so much for these vids. i always drag my feet doing this mission :)
Your amazing bro, I finally found the last piece in the western approach, if it wasn't for your video I probably would have had to go for something else I wouldn't enjoy, thanks a lot.
Amazing, thank you. I put off doing this for ages but you made it easy.
Thanks for this! I got the achievement tonight and was able to explore most of the castle!
Excellent Job! Thanks so much for these awesome videos
Not sure why, but that fashionably late thing with the second bell can glitch and never happen as well as the the third one no matter how long you stand around. Quite annoying.
Awesome video! helped me a lot, thanks
Thanks for uploading this
Thank you. This is great guide
Thats really helpful ~~ Thank you MrVuule
I followed this video as a female elf and i got 98 aproval. Thx for vid!
thanks you helped a lot
Leliana and Cassandra's future discussion is at the end of this mission, but it's cut off. What answers are you meant to choose?
Being a Mage is an automatic -10 to your approval rating because they don't like mages. :P
its worse if your a qunari, you go down to 25 points
Thank god, it's over! 3 hours stressing over this bullshit trophy. But I got it with 100% approval.
Thanks, man.
Thank you so much
Spot on cheers
Thanks a lot
thanks guy , help´s me a lot
thanks man
I love how you curved Josephine at the end
İ got the trophy thanks a lot. Thumbs up :)
Thank you :)
Thank you good sir.
I am an eleven mage and I finished with 100 approval. Thanks.
excellent guide thanks a lot.
How come your approval doesn't drop when you're away from the party?
Approval can actually go beyond 100. Even had a run where I lost 14 Approval due to a dialogue decision and I still had 100.
@@MrVuule yea nah that’s bs, I just tried to get more approval while it’s at 100 and got 0
Well i finished with 99 approval and didn't get the trophy... How come?
18 minutes in I was really confused. I did everything just like you did yet you had 86 approval and I had 59???
I got an auto -10 for being mage but 59 is a lot more than just 10 less.
i believe elves and qunari get a loss of approval, dwarves neutral, and humans get a gain dont remember how much. 4 years on so you probably dont care any more.
thanks alot :)
Know this is an old video, but I know elves are too short to grab that damn statue on the rafters. This game is so rude to elves.
i'm playing as a dwarf :(
Can you make a video showing reaver guide?
You can get 15 approval from the first woman???? did not know this...
it's glitched. It's actually 10. If you watch it again he started of at 45 and ended up with 55 after her exhausting and completing her dialogue.
Thanks!

+Arturo Dagdug (FullMetalArthur) 95+ if he said 85 if misspoke. It is a minimum of 95+

En el video empiezas en 45 puntos, y yo empiezo en 25. ¿porque?
So you don’t have to fight the duchess
I seriously dont know which side to choose, so confusing ugh
Shieeet that's a boring one to achieve, thanks for the help!
Show. Off. But, thank you, I really hope all of this works, seeming as how I'm a Qunari.
Celene and Florianne both look so old on next gen. On my PS3, they look much younger. I prefer the young look.
Do you have to be a noble to get this? Or can I do this with a elf as well?
Any race and class can do it. It's just that mages and anything other than humans lose some approval at the start immediately.
What if you finished the mission and killed the boss already?
You'll need to start a new playthrough.
You missed a door
Don"t u need 5 halla statues to find Celene dirty work & forge aka 3-way truce?
With 5 statuettes you can open the door @ 24:26. It gives you some dirty info on Celene, not sure if it's required for the 3-way truce though. Been there once and didn't go in this time, because 2 out of the 3 dialogue options in that room give you -14 approval.

I'm a Qunarl Mage so I lost 15 at the start
I love you
Raven haired goth chicks are HOT!lol Lulu's looking good these days.
God damn it, this trophy is tiresome..
and in steps the baddest woman in all of Thedas...lol!
grate did every thing you did got 100% approval and the damn achievement wont pop another fucking glitch in this game
Not every misstep is a glitch.
the achievement is bugged and only pops up if you talk to Florianne and expose her in front of everyone meaning you'll have to skip on her boss fight. it's best to make a new save incase something goes wrong or if you want to fight her and get the unique (purple) bow
Yes same, achievement did not pop regardless of if I had 100%.
The ball is so freaking annoying playing on the PC. I just rush through it. The search function is so difficult good luck finding any of those coins and those freaking statues are a total pain to find. I wound up having all of them but Gaspy killed.

Couldn't get the fashionably late bonus to trigger no matter how long I waited. Stupid quest in a stupid game.
