Complete The Warden Vault quest in Dragon Age: The Veilguard with our guide. Learn the solutions to the Torch, Skeleton, and Wisp puzzles to unlock the Warden Vault and claim your rewards.
Walkthrough
- 1Starting The Warden Vault: Explore the Warden Castle to find any of the three locks. Activating one initiates the quest.
- 2The First Warden Lock (Torch Puzzle): Enter the Warden Castle from the Clifftops. Near the entrance, use Taash to ignite a Gaatlok Barrel, revealing a new area. Inside, break crates to find three torches and levers. Pull the levers in the order: Left, Middle, Right. Proceed upstairs and use the lever to open a gate, granting access to a Gear Chest and the first Shield Lock lever.
- 3The Second Warden Lock (Skeleton Puzzle): From the first lock, activate the shortcut ladder and descend. Defeat any Antaam. Head south and examine the glowing corpse to start the puzzle. Follow the spirit's path to four corpses in total. The order is: first corpse west of the main chamber, then exit the castle and re-enter through the Taash-opened hole to find the second corpse upstairs to the right, then the third corpse near the castle's main chamber entrance, and finally the fourth corpse in the main chamber towards the southern wall. Interacting with the fourth corpse reveals a hidden door to the second Warden Lock.
- 4The Third Warden Lock (Wisp Puzzle): Go to the Castle Bailey at the far south. Defeat the Antaam. Ignite a Gaatlok Barrel in the northwest corner with Taash to drop a ladder. Climb up and interact with the Wisp. Optionally, claim the Gear Chest first. Lead the Wisp down, head north into the next room, and go left down the corridor. The Wisp will possess a corpse in a hole in the wall, pulling a lever and opening the door to the third Warden Lock.
- 5The Warden Vault Rewards: With all three locks activated, return to the main chamber. Head down the stairs on the right side (facing the southern wall). Use Taash to open the way to the Vault. Inside, you will find various chests. Completing the quest grants 500 XP.
