Discover how to get powerful one-handed weapons like Caliban, Thunderstrike, and Evanura in Dragon Age: Inquisition. Your guide to the best gear!

Alright, let's talk about getting your hands on some sweet one-handed weapons in Dragon Age: Inquisition. These blades are crucial for many builds, and knowing where to find the best ones can make a huge difference. This section breaks down how to snag some of the top-tier options.

Song of the Marshes

This one's a reward for completing the war table operation called 'Defeat Marquise Bouffon'. So, keep an eye on your war table and make sure that operation gets done!

Caliban

For the Caliban, you'll need to head to Emprise du Lion and take on the Kaltenzahn high dragon. It's a tough fight, but Caliban is a sweet loot drop from it.

Thunderstrike

Thunderstrike is a bit of a random find. You'll need the 'The Short List' Inquisition perk first. After that, the merchant in Caer Bronach, Crestwood, might randomly have it for sale for 8572. Keep checking back!

Evanura

Evanura is found in the Emerald Graves. You'll need to interact with a specific landmark there. Keep exploring the area, and you'll stumble upon it.

Axe of Green Edges

This axe drops after you destroy the Fade rift located in the Flooded Caves. You'll encounter this during the 'Still Waters' quest.

Cleave

Cleave is a quest reward. Specifically, you'll get it for completing the 'Map of Enavuris' mission on the Exalted Plains.

Avenger

To get the Avenger, you need to complete the war table operation named 'Delicate Negotiations'. Simple as that – just get that operation finished.

The Dueling Blade

This one's straightforward. The merchant in the Village of Crestwood sells it for 941. Easy to pick up if you've got the coin.

Soulkisser

You'll find Soulkisser by looting Sister Costeau. She's located in the Emerald Graves, and you'll get this during the quest 'A Fallen Sister'.

Vidathiss

Vidathiss is a drop from Lord Seeker Lucius. You'll find him in the Castle of Caer Oswin during Cassandra's personal quest, 'Promise of Destruction'.

Sword of Charris Allied

This unique sword comes from completing the 'Quest for the Red Lyrium Reapers' minigame on the Dragon Age Inquisition website. After you finish the 'Acquire the Arcanist' War Table quest, you can find it in a Special Supplies chest in Skyhold's Undercroft.

The Sweetish Fingers

Keep an eye out for an elite Templar Knight on the west side of the Templar Encampment in the Hinterlands. This sword is dropped by him.
