Lighthouse Statues Puzzle Walkthrough – Dragon Age: The Veilguard Guide

After the prologue in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, you will head to the Lighthouse. It will serve as the base. Your first mission will also begin here. In the library, there’s a door with a note stuck to it. The note reads “Three meetings, face-to-face, under the sky.” Here you go, the first clue of the lighthouse mission. 

The library note indicates that you have to solve a puzzle which has three elements. The objective is to find three pairs of statues and fix their position so that they face each other. 

Lighthouse Statues Puzzle

Statue Pair #1

Exit the library and make your way to the workshop outside. Find the curving staircase leading up. Go to the top where you will find a statue.

There should be another note here which says, “To enter the library passage, three pairings must meet face-to-face.” Basically, you have to make three pairs of statues face each other.

Rotate it using the lever arm sticking out the bottom. It should face east towards the dining hall. 

If you look in this direction, you can find the next statue. Go to the dining hall and take a right. Rotate the statue placed here and make sure it points towards the first statue.

Statue Pair #2

From the dining hall, head north towards Neve’s study. You don’t have to go inside the room. There will be a set of stairs to the right of the entrance. Just next to it, you can find a passage. Use it to drop down and go to the next statue.

Rotate it so that it faces west. Look in that direction to find the other statue in this pair. It is just behind Belara’s workshop. Go around the left of the building. Rotate the statue to the east.

The final pair is back inside the Lighthouse. Head towards the library and take the stairs to get to the first statue. Don’t take any detours until you are just above the library door. You will find two statues here. This one’s easy enough. Just make them face each other.

Now that all the statues are correctly positioned, there’s a few more things you need to do.

How to open the Library Portal?

Head back into the library. The door on the north wall can now be opened. Head inside to go to the music room.

Now, there’s a door on the left which is locked. It needs two wisps to open. The first wisp is by the piano. Grab it and place it on one of the pedestals by the door.

The Caretaker will appear out of thin air and give you your next clue, “Another helper waits, between the facing gods.”

Step inside the portal and you will end up on a balcony above the library. This area was earlier inaccessible.

Take the wisp from the balcony and place it on the pedestal across the portal. This will open up another portal.

Before stepping through, activate the device in the left corner. This will restore the astrolabe and discount upgrades.

How to open the second locked door?

The second portal will transport you to a balcony above the watchtower. There’s a chest on this balcony. Open it and pick up the floating crystal. Place it on the device in front of you.

Use the device to point the beam at the three crystals floating above domes. It will cause the wisps to break free.

Once done, head back to the library. The second door inside the library is now unlocked. Step through to proceed ahead.

There are no such exemplary rewards in this puzzle, only items you can pick up during its course. However, there are other missions in the game which promise riches!
