Dragon Age 2 How To Find Promotional Items

Let's be honest. We've all been there. Staring at the screen. Wondering where that cool promo item is in Dragon Age 2.

It's like a scavenger hunt, but instead of candy, you get, uh, slightly better stats. Exciting, right?

The Great Pre-Order Panic

Remember pre-ordering? It felt SO important. You were promised exclusive weapons! Maybe even some armor.

Must Read

Then the game arrives. You boot it up. And... nothing? Where's my stuff! Panic sets in.

The Email Enigma

The first place to check is your email. Yep, THAT email. The one overflowing with junk mail and forgotten newsletters.

Dig deep, my friend! You might find a golden ticket hiding amongst the "Enlarge Your..." offers. Look for a redemption code from BioWare or the retailer.

The Mysterious Downloadable Content

DLC. Three little letters that can bring so much joy... or frustration. Did you actually download it?

Head to your platform's store (Steam, Playstation Network, Xbox Live). Check your download history. Make sure the promo item pack is installed.

Pro tip: Sometimes, the store doesn't cooperate. Blame the gremlins in the system.

The In-Game Item Hunt

Okay, so everything's installed. Now what? Time to play detective in Kirkwall.

Check your inventory. Seems obvious, right? But sometimes the item is there, hiding amongst all your other junk. Look for the names of the promo items you should have received.

Visit certain vendors. Many promo items appear in the store. Usually in the Black Emporium if you have it.

The Unpopular Opinion Zone

Okay, unpopular opinion time: Maybe those promo items aren't that good? I said it! Don't @ me.

Early game advantages are nice. But honestly? You can get way better gear just by playing the game.

Seriously, some of those pre-order weapons look kinda... dorky. Just saying. It's like everyone gets the same few items and everyone looks the same.

The Wiki Wisdom

Still lost? Don't despair! The internet is your friend.

Head to the Dragon Age Wiki. Search for your specific promo item. Someone, somewhere, has probably documented exactly where to find it.

Wikis are the unsung heroes of gaming. Let's all give them a round of applause.

The Save File Shenanigans

Did you start a new game after redeeming the code? That might be the issue.

Sometimes, the promo items only appear in new games started after the DLC is installed and registered. Load a save from before you got the items. Start a new game. See if the items appear.
