Follow this guide to destroy the three gaatlok caches in Treviso for the Antaam quest in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Learn enemy locations and strategies.
Alright, so you've finished the first part of the 'Statuary, Fine Art and Antaam' quest and wrapped up 'The Siege of Weisshaupt'. Now, Lucanis's quest 'Bloodbath' is done, and two new side quests have popped up in Treviso. Talk to Teia and Viago – they'll tell you the Venatori have delivered this magically-enhanced 'gaatlok' to the city, and it's up to us to destroy it before it causes major trouble.
- 1Destroy the Gaatlok
This quest is pretty straightforward. We need to hit three different gaatlok locations in Treviso, take down the combined Antaam and Venatori forces at each spot, and then detonate the gaatlok. Most of these caches are hidden in areas where you'll already be fighting enemies.
- 2Gaatlok Cache 1
Where am I? You'll find the first gaatlok cache in a typical Antaam stronghold, located east of The Cantori Diamond and west of the Heart and Central beacon.
What do I see? Expect the usual mix of ranged and melee Antaam and Venatori. Nothing too out of the ordinary here.
What do I do? Defeat all the enemies. Then, make your way to an elevated platform on the western side of the outpost, near the canal, to find and destroy the gaatlok.
Why this way? Stick to the plan to clear the area and disable the threat.
- 3Gaatlok Cache 2
Where am I? This second cache is surprisingly close to where we've been. From the Crow’s Road Rooftops, just south of The Cantori Diamond, head south. You'll pass some ziplines and go through a door you might remember from the 'Bloodbath' quest – it's technically in the Grande Market region.
What do I see? This area is a bit more annoying. You'll face a mob of enemies, including some Veteran Cult Mages on a rooftop to the east. They can shoot spells at you while you're dealing with the enemies on the ground, like an Elite Venatori War-Mage.
What do I do? You have a couple of options here: either rush to the rooftop to take out those mages quickly, or try to use cover to deal with the enemies below first. Once they're dealt with, drop down to the lower ground south of the door you entered through. Look northwest – the gaatlok cache is tucked away in a corner.
Why this way? Dealing with the mages is key to making this fight manageable. Don't get caught out by their ranged attacks while you're busy with the melee enemies.
- 4Gaatlok Cache 3
Where am I? The final gaatlok cache is in the southeastern part of the Drowned District.
What do I see? This one seems to be the least guarded. You'll face an Elite Venatori Centurion along with the standard Antaam, like Blooded Taaralok and Blooded Valotaar.
What do I do? Defeat the enemies, then head to a dock in the southeast to find and detonate the final gaatlok.
Why this way? This is the last one, so let's get it done and finish this quest!
- Remember to complete 'Bloodbath' before this quest becomes available.
- Keep an eye out for those Veteran Cult Mages in the second cache location; they can be a real nuisance if ignored.
- The Antaam and Venatori forces are mixed, so be prepared for both ranged and melee attackers.
