Complete walkthrough for the A Hidden Horde quest in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Find treasure, defeat enemies, and claim your rewards with our step-by-step guide.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Starting the Quest: After completing 'The Siege of Weisshaupt' main quest, head to the noticeboard in Wharf Crossing North. Interact with it to learn about a hidden treasure in the city. We recommend bringing Bellara for her lightning attacks.
  2. 2
    Finding the First Clue: Make your way to Wharf Crossing South and find the 'On The Right Track' note on a table behind the fast travel point.
  3. 3
    Finding the Second Clue: Head north to the Side Alley Bridge. Climb the Tindarion Tower to find the 'Almost There' note next to a chest.
  4. 4
    Finding the Third Clue: Travel east to the Shoreline Passage and pick up the 'Grand Finale' note from a table.
  5. 5
    The Ambush: Head south and cross the boat to Aula's Lookout. Work your way west into the catacombs. You'll be ambushed by enemies. Try to lure them into a more open area to fight them one-on-one. Deal with the basic enemies first.
  6. 6
    Dealing with Shielded Enemies: The remaining enemies will have shields. Use heavy attacks for yellow shields and ranged attacks (like Bow: Rogue, Warrior: Shield Throw, or Mage: Staff) for blue shields. If you brought Bellara, her lightning skills are very effective against their weaknesses.
  7. 7
    Opening the Chest: Use the Heavy Bronze Key you acquired to open the door. Inside, you'll find two gear chests, a 'Ripped Note', and a 'Torn Journal Page'.
  • 500 XP
  • +100 Shadow Dragons Strength
  • Companion Bond Increase

Completing this quest also makes the follow-up quest, 'Desperate in Dock Town', available.

Tips
  • Bring Bellara along for her lightning-based attacks, which are effective against shielded enemies.
  • Lure enemies into open areas to avoid being overwhelmed.
  • Prioritize dealing with basic enemies before focusing on those with shields.
