Solas’ Secrets – “Regrets of the Dread Wolf” Quest Guide

In Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the “Regrets of the Dread Wolf” quest offers a gripping narrative and rewarding loot. You’ll need to track down six wolf statues to complete it, with one automatically obtained during the main storyline.

Locating the remaining five statues will unravel the mysteries of Solas’ complex past and motivations. Here’s a walkthrough to finding all the states and tackling the final boss for this quest in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

1. All 6 Wolf Statuette Locations in Dragon Age: The Veilguard

In Dragon Age: The Veilguard, complete the “Regrets of the Dread Wolf” quest by finding six Wolf Statuettes.

• One is obtained during a main quest, while five are hidden in Crossroads.
• Defeat champions to unlock new areas and acquire essences, then discover two statuettes through regular exploration.
• Additionally, complete three “dream sequences” to uncover Solas’ plans to trap Elgar’nan and Ghillan’nain, rewarding you with the final three statuettes.

Once you’ve obtained the first figurine, track the quest in your journal to reveal the locations of the remaining statuettes.

i. Wolf Statuette 1

The first Wolf Statuette is received from the Inquisitor during the “Shades of the Blight” quest. Progress through the campaign until you meet Morrigan and the Inquisitor in Dock Town. Following a brief conversation, the Inquisitor presents you with the first Wolf Statuette.

ii. Wolf Statuette 2

Find the second Wolf Statuette in the Converged City’s Gate of Lost Ages, unlocked after defeating Dock Town’s Darkspawn Champion. Navigate through the area, solving the crystal puzzle to reach the cliffside section where the figurine is nestled near a Fen’harel Statue.

iii. Wolf Statuette 3

Find the third Wolf Statuette in the Converged City’s central hub, which was previously inaccessible. Complete the tasks, defeat the enemies within, and reach the end of the sequence to claim the Statuette.

iv. Wolf Statuette 4

Discover the fourth Wolf Statuette in the Heights of Athim, a floating island northeast of the Crossroads. Venture onto the snowy path, winding through the island’s center and then south, to initiate a dream sequence. Within this sequence, you’ll uncover the fourth Wolf Statuette.

v. Wolf Statuette 5

Uncover the fifth Wolf Statuette in Elv’henan’s Haven, located on the right-hand side of the map. As you journey north, bypassing the inaccessible Gate of Parched Hope, keep an eye out for a left-hand path. Follow this path to enter a dream sequence, which, upon completion, will reveal the fifth Wolf Statuette.

vi. Wolf Statuette 6

Uncover the last Wolf Statuette in Elv’henan’s Haven by navigating north from the center. Defeat the enemies triggered by the altar trap, and then rotate statues to face each other, unlocking the path to the northern rock formation, where you’ll find a Fen’harel Statue token and the authentic Wolf Statuette, completing your collection.

2. Uncovering Solas’ Past

With all six Wolf Statuettes collected, proceed to the Lighthouse’s main hall. Place each statuette on its designated altar, triggering a series of cutscenes delving into Solas’ ties to Mythal and the imprisonment of the gods.

As the memories unfold, engage with your companions’ reflections and respond to gain deeper insight into Solas’ past, his motivations, and the complexities of his character.

After the cutscenes, reunite with Morrigan in the Crossroads. Discuss the unfolding events in Thedas and gain more intel on Solas. Then Morrigan will unlock a nearby path to a snowy realm, where you’ll meet a fragment of Mythal’s spirit.

3. Mythal’s Spirit Boss

After Morrigan unlocks a nearby path, journey through the snowy area to encounter Mythal’s spirit. Choose the following responses to demonstrate your worthiness:

• “I want your help.”
  • “We must stop the blight.” -> “You stood against it.”
  • “We must stop the gods.” -> “They wronged you.”
  • “We are worthy.” -> “Building a safe place.”

i. Success in Convincing Mythal

Mythal will bestow upon you Mythal’s Light, a unique weapon essential for the game’s finale. This weapon’s effects include:

• 0 Physical Damage
• 450 Stagger
• +80 Fire, Necrotic, Electricity, and Cold Damage

Explore the arena to discover a treasure chest containing A Pale Reflection amulet, granting:

• +5% ultimate charge upon defeating an enemy
• +20% damage against low-health enemies
• All standard/non-boss enemies are considered low-health

ii. Failure in Convincing Mythal

If you fail to persuade Mythal with incorrect dialogue choices, she will transform into her powerful dragon form, Mythal’s Retribution. This Level 45 boss fight presents a significant challenge, and defeating Mythal’s Retribution yields a similar reward but at a greater cost.
