Warden Vault walkthrough and lock solutions in Dragon Age The Veilguard

You will find this “The Guardian Vault” Side quest in Dragon Age: The Veil Guardian as you delve deeper into the world Rivain Coast.

Far over on the east side of the map you’ll come across a ruined Gray Warden castle. Inside the castle is a vault with lots of loot – and nearby are three locks that have puzzles associated with them.

Our Dragon Age: The Veil Guardian The Warden Vault guide will help and show you how to solve all three castle puzzles how to open the Warden Vault.

How to start The Warden Vault in Dragon Age: The Veilguard

It’s a bit of a hike to reach the castle, where you’ll find the side quest “The Warden Vault.” When you reach the entrance gate (portcullis) and the fast travel signal there, you are in the right place.

Facing the portcullis, go to the right (west) and through two small doors.

To your left, use Taash’s ability to detonate the explodable pot on the wall. Go through the new opening, continue south and up the stairs. At the top, turn left and climb the ledges as you turn north again. Take the walkway to the end and go through the door on the right.

Inside, pull the lever on the left to open the portcullis and drop the ladder on the right. Drop down to the floor below and deal with the trio of Antaam attacking you.

In the main room, look for a staircase leading down on the right (west) side. Take them out and then use Taash’s ability to burn through them bubble drakestone Crystals block your path. Down the stairs and on the left you will find the beginning of the “The Guardian Vault” Quest, the sealed door and a note with your clue.

The only part of the note that really matters is the paragraph, “The seals are the key. Find the right ones and the door should open. They are hidden around the castle.” However, that sounds much easier than it is.

Solution #1 for Warden Vault lock: Correct lever order

Go back up and take the ladder you dropped back to the second floor. Go outside and drop down into the yard below you. Directly behind you is a hallway blocked by a cart. Destroy the wagon and go through the hall to the end.

Clear out all the crates and barrels and you will find three levers on the wall. The left and right switches light the two flashlights on the left and right, respectively, and the middle lever only illuminates the middle flashlight.

Go back and use two rights to return to the (now open) portcullis. Go through and take the ladder up. This time you’ll see that the three mini seals above the switch there are glowing. Flip the switch and go inside.

Open the chest on the left, then pull the lever on the right, located under the full-size seal.

Warden Vault Castle Solution #2: All Ghost Locations

Head back down and head south to where you fought the Antaam earlier. Go through the door to the west and follow the hall to the left. When you get outside, look to your right to find a stabbed skeleton with some glowing butterflies circling it:

Examine it to start this puzzle. You must follow the ghost through three more locations around the castle in turn.

To find the next ghost location, head back into the main hall and back through the portcullis. Turn left and go back to where you entered a minute ago. This time, turn right at the top of the stairs and duck behind the wall to find the second ghost location. You’re looking for the bright green spot in the image below:

Turn around and head back to the front gate (we’re tired of saying portcullis). On your way you will pass the third place. You’re looking for the bright green spot in the image below:

The final ghost location is inside. At the southern end of the hall where you previously fought the Antaam, you will find the ghost near the right (west) wall. You know the drill. Spotty, bright, green.

After you find the ghost in its final location, a secret door will open. Go into the room and pull the lever.

Solution #3 for Warden Vault Lock: Where to put the will-o-the-wisp?

Return to where you began following the Spirit. A little further south you will find another hallway. Take this and continue south.

Eventually you will come to an open area full of Antaam. Clear them out, then go back to stand behind the statue overlooking the courtyard.

Look up and to the right to find an exploding pot. Hitting it with Taash’s ability will knock over a ladder. Before you go upstairs, look to the right (north) to find the hall you entered.

Go in and immediately turn left. At the back of the next room you’ll find even more bubble drakestone. Melt it and follow the hallway to the end. Rook will comment that you need to find a will-o-the-wisp. Let’s do this.

Go back to the clearing and climb the ladder you knocked over. A will-o’-the-wisp awaits you at the top. Collect it and rush back to the waiting skeleton and lever.

Go all the way back to where you started the quest. This time you can simply open the door and grab the three treasure chests inside, as well as a souvenir that increases the caretaker’s level. You will also receive 500 XP for completing the Warden Vault quest.
