Dragon Age: The Veilguard — How to Open the Warden Vault

The Grey Warden Secret Vault in Dragon Age: The Veilguard

In Dragon Age: The Veilguard, players can uncover the hidden Grey Warden Vault located within the Grey Warden castle in the Rivain Coast. This vault is filled with powerful gear, items, and faction strength for the Grey Wardens and Lords of Fortune. To access the vault, players will need to solve a series of puzzles involving three hidden locks. This guide will provide detailed solutions for unlocking each lock.

Lock #1

Begin at the castle gate and enter the small entrance to the right. Once inside the outer courtyard, proceed through the large archway. Break barrels and boxes until you reach three levers on the wall. Pull the levers in the following order:

  • Left
  • Right
  • Middle

After solving the lever puzzle, climb the stairs in the courtyard, remove the wooden support on the left, and enter the castle gate room. Pull the lever on the left to open the portcullis and reveal the first lock.

Lock #2

The second lock involves locating four skeletal remains scattered throughout the castle, each marked by green butterflies. Start in the inner courtyard and progress forward to the first doorway on the right. Interact with the skeleton inside to summon a ghost that will pass through the wall.

Continue to the outer courtyard, ascend the stairs, and find the second skeleton under a stone archway. Return to the front of the castle gate through a small archway to discover the third skeleton in a corner. Finally, interact with the ghost in the inner courtyard to reveal the second lock.

Lock #3

To unlock the third and final lock, head towards the inner courtyard facing south and enter the first doorway on the right. Follow the pathway, detonate an explosive barrel with Ignite, and a ladder will drop down.

Clear the path by destroying obstacles in a hallway on the left before ascending the ladder. Retrieve a wisp and guide it to a locked door, where it will revive a skeleton to open the way. Behind the door lies the third lock.

Loot Room

After unlocking all three locks, return to the inner courtyard and descend the stairs leading to a path. Destroy any obstacles blocking your way and open the final door to claim your rewards from the secret Grey Warden Vault.
