Shadows of Minrathous quest in Dragon Age: The Veilguard is an early campaign mission that tasks you with stopping a potential Darkspawn invasion from the city’s underworld.
However, things aren’t as straightforward as they seem. This guide will help you navigate and complete any confusing objectives efficiently.
1. Shadows of Minrathous Quest – Dragon Age: The Veilguard
In Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the Shadows of Minrathous quest continues the Shadow Dragons’ narrative. Meet Neve at the Lighthouse to discuss suspicious Venatori cultist movements in Dock Town. This dialogue updates the main quest, and you can then fast-travel to Dock Town to start Shadows of Minrathous.
i. Starting the Quest
In Dock Town, start at the safehouse and consult The Viper about darkspawn activity. Meet The Viper again in the town to receive intel on local developments, leading to investigations at two designated locations.
2. Location #1 – Anvallenium
In the sewers beneath Minrathous, investigate the Anvallenim tunnels, guided by quest markers. Before proceeding, consider visiting the Shadow Dragons’ merchant for new equipment upgrades for yourself and Neve.
Explore the ancient tunnels, encountering Venatori cultists and Darkspawn Ghouls. Defeat them and report back to Asher at the shop.
- Unlock the tunnel entrance via the serpent symbol.
- Defeat Venatori minibosses and claim the gilded chest.
- Find the Caretaker Memento in the boarded tunnel.
- Clear the blight obstruction.
- Report your findings to Viper.
3. Location #2 – Venatori Warehouse
Investigate Venatori Activity at Smuggler’s Docks Warehouse. Head to the Smuggler’s Docks market and take the elevator at the end of the street to reach the warehouse.
- Clear the dockyard of Venatori.
- Defeat the miniboss behind the crystal barrier.
- Access the warehouse roof via the ladder.
- Breakthrough boxed entryway obstruction.
- Descend downstairs to confront Venatori.
- Battle three Venatori Mages and a Darkspawn Hurlock.
- Prioritize eliminating mages to avoid ranged attacks.
- Focus on the Hurlock after dispatching the mages.
i. Locating Evidence
After defeating the Venatori and Hurlock, loot the nearby large chest and scour the lower floor for evidence by interacting with:
- Boxes adjacent to the treasure chest.
- The sewer grate near the stairs.
- Shelves near the sewer grate.
- Shelves in the middle of the room.
4. Quest Rewards
Once you’ve secured all evidence, reunite with Asher outside. Then, report back to Viper at the dockyard, and you’ll automatically return to Shadow Dragon base, concluding the quest. You will then receive the following quest rewards:
- 3,750 XP
- 400+ Shadow Dragons Strength
- Increased bond with Neve
That concludes our Shadows of Minrathous walkthrough. Good fortune be with you, Rook, on your Dragon Age: The Veilguard journey. May your blades stay sharp and your decisions wise!
