Viuus Anaxas: Necromancer

Learn how to find Viuus Anaxas, start the 'Way of the Necromancer' quest, and gather the necessary items to unlock the Necromancer specialization in Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Alright, so you're looking to become a Necromancer in Dragon Age: Inquisition? Awesome choice! First things first, you need to find Viuus Anaxas. He hangs out right near the main gate of Skyhold. Chat him up, and he'll kick off a quest for you called 'Way of the Necromancer'.

To actually unlock the Necromancer skill tree, you'll need to craft a special item: a Ceremonial Mortalitasi Skull. You can whip this up at any requisition table once you've got your hands on a few things. Here's the breakdown of what you need:

• Codex Entry: Writing on Necromancy — You can snag this from the top floor of the Skyhold library, pretty close to where Dorian likes to chill. If you miss it there, no worries, the merchant Willvan in Val Royeaux also sells it.
• 3x Nevarran Skull — These are scattered around the Storm Coast, usually found in skeleton heaps. I recall seeing one south of the northern camp, another near the astrarium south of Hessarian Camp, and a third on a hill by the river south of Hessarian Camp. Keep an eye out! Oh, and if you've got 'The Short List' perk active, merchants in Crestwood might sell them too.
• 10x Bloodstone — These gems are all over the Emerald Graves and Emprise du Lion. Alternatively, you can get them from the war table mission 'Emprise du Lion Resources' – just pick Josephine or Cullen for that one.

Important Note: Before you can even find Viuus Anaxas, you'll need to have completed the war table mission 'Specializations for the Inquisitor'. Make sure that's done first, or the trainer won't show up!
