Follow our step-by-step guide to complete the 'Spies Among Us' side quest in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Find all the notes and get your rewards!
Alright, so you're looking to tackle the 'Spies Among Us' side quest in Dragon Age: The Veilguard? It's a pretty straightforward one that pops up after you've completed either 'On Deadly Wings' or 'On Blighted Wings.' Once you're tasked with recruiting that dragon slayer and fade expert, a bunch of side quests will unlock, and this one's chilling in Treviso.
How to Start: You'll want to head to The Cantori Diamond. Look for the room to the east of where Viago and Teia hang out. Inside, you'll find a note titled 'From the Diary of Chance Candide.' Just reading that will kick off the quest for you.
- 1Find the Venatori Spies: First things first, exit The Cantori Diamond. Grab the northern zipline to get yourself onto the rooftops. From there, you'll need to make a jump east across a gap. Keep moving through a roofed area until you reach the spot where the Treviso darkspawn champion usually hangs out. You'll find some Venatori messing around on these rooftops. Take them out! After the fight, look around on the ground for a 'Folded Note' – it might be on some wood, not necessarily right next to where the enemies fell. Grab that intel and head back to The Cantori Diamond to chat with Chance. He'll point you towards the Drowned District to look for more Venatori activity.
- 2Search Sunken Treviso for Clues: This part isn't so much a 'hunt' as it is a collection mission. You just need to make your way to three specific objective markers and grab the notes.
- 3A Request to Meet: Fast travel to the southernmost beacon in the Drowned District. Once there, climb a ladder to the north, then head through a window to the west. You'll find this note waiting for you on a balcony to the south.
- 4Scrawled Note: From where you found the last note, head east. You'll need to destroy a boarded-up doorway to proceed. After that, climb a ladder and search a table – the note should be there.
- 5An Urgent Reply: Fast travel to the northernmost Drowned District beacon. From there, travel east, then go south down two flights of stairs. Turn west under a portico, and you should see a door to the north. Inside, there's a table where you'll find this final note.
Once you've collected all three notes, just head back to Chance in The Cantori Diamond to wrap up this quest. It's pretty short, but the rewards are solid!
