TheWarden Vaultis one ofDragon Age: The Veilguard’s treasure-hunting quests, as you scour a ruined castle in the Rivain Coast region, looking for seals to unlock some loot. It’s quite easy to miss if you haven’t explored the region thoroughly, and in particular, the castle that dominates much of its centre.

Still, it’s well worth doing if you want armour, weapons, and even a unique ring that Rook can equip, strengthening one of your class-based abilities. All that said, here’s where to pick up the Warden Vault quest and find the vault itself, plus how to open the three locks preventing you from pilfering what’s contained within.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard Warden Vault - Thief’s note

You canfind the Warden Vault in the Rivain Coast region, specifically, once you arrive in the main hall of the castle. Head down the right side stairs from the main entrance with the portcullis and melt the Blistering Drakestone with Taash (or the knife) to find the vault and get The Warden Vault quest.

On the body in front of the door, you’ll find the “Journal of a thief”, which explains that you need to find the three seals located around the castle and unlock them to open the vault and get at the treasure inside. You’ll get approximate map markers for each of the three puzzles, though the quest won’t describe exactly what to do.

Head out of the vault, up the stairs, and back out of the entrance to the main hall. Turn left through two small archways, then get Taash—or use the Lyrium Dagger—to destroy the Gaatlok Barrel against the wall.

Go left again towards the wagon and the space filled with wooden boxes. Smash all of these to reveal three torches you need to light in a certain order. When facing them, the sequence is:

This will light up all three. Head back out of the room, up the stairs ahead, and climb the pile of planks to your left. Continue along the stone walkway above and through the doorway on your right.

You’ll now find yourself on a platform above the entrance to the main hall—make sure to kick down the ladder on your right. Now simply pull the lever straight ahead underneath another set of lit torches to open the locked door. Pull the lever below the seal inside the room to deal with that first lock.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard Warden Vault - Second seal

Investigate the remains, and you’ll summon a slow-moving ghost who tracks to the location of other skeletons you need to find. This is slightly tricky, though, since the ghost moves through walls, and as you find each subsequent skeleton, the ghost will move again.

Either try to follow the ghost or use these instructions:

When you get close it’ll open a door in the wall, letting you pull a lever below the second seal to open the next lock.
