How to get Mass Effect armor in Dragon Age The Veilguard
To get the Mass Effect armor in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, you need to complete the main quest “The Singing Blade”, then open the chest next to the lighthouse keeper. “The Singing Blade” takes a few hours to complete, but you’ll know you’re close after completing the story at D’Meta’s Crossing in Arlathan Forest.
If you’ve already completed “The Singing Blade” and don’t see the chest, save and exit the game, then make sure it’s fully up to date. Armor was added in path 1,000,003 on PS5.
The Keeper’s Chest includes a small note containing a nod to Harding’s Shepard.
Once the chest is opened, you obtain:
- Command Helmet
- Paragon of leadership
- Ghost of past battles
These have no stats, as they’re not actually pieces of armor – they’re a skin you can equip by going to the cabinet in Rook’s room at the Lighthouse and using the transmogrification. So don’t worry, you can still look like you enjoy insulting big stupid jellyfish in Veilguard while keeping your best armor’s stats intact.
The name of each piece of armor is also another little nod to Mass Effect:
- Command Helmet – Your character in the Mass Effect trilogy is named Commander Shepard.
- Paragon of Leadership – Paragon points are earned by completing “good” actions in Mass Effect.
- Specter of Battles Past – Commander Shepard becomes a Specter agent in the first Mass Effect game.
Enjoy your new armor!
