Partway through The Singing Blade quest inDragon Age: The Veilguard, players will need to clear a bridge of blight to progress. This can be challenging due to how blight is cleared, but there are specific steps to make it easier. This is just one of the game’s many puzzles, but it is important since it is part of the main quest line.
There are a lot of differentquests inDragon Age: The Veilguard, some of whichrequire fighting big enemies,and others require a lot of puzzling. This quest requires a little bit of both, but clearing the blight will mostly involve the puzzle side. Once you make your way to the bridge, you willnot be able to cross or progress the questuntil it’s cleared.
Getting To The Blight Blocked Bridge
Starting The Singing Blade Quest
You willreturn to a Ritual Siteyou visited earlier in this quest to findThe Singing Blade. Your companion,Harding, inDragon Age: The Veilguard, is particularly interested in the matter. However, you will not find the dagger right away. Instead, you willfind a Darkspawn Ghoul at the siteand have to chase it into the ruins as it runs away.
All Dragon Age: The Veilguard Cameos (So Far)
Players will be delighted to spot some familiar faces in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, bringing together characters from throughout the series.
You will have aseparate piece of Blight to destroy, and a different Darkspawn will ambush you. Finish it off and then follow the path to find yourself at the Beam Generator. This willopen up a gate, but when you move through it, you will find yourself blocked by a new piece of Blight.
How To Solve The Blight Blocked Bridge Puzzle
Clearing The Way & Getting Rid Of Blight
As soon as you enter the new area, you willbecome surrounded by Darkspawn. There is another spot of Blight that you’re able to remove before you move into the area where the original Darkspawn ghoul can be seen. You will then find yourselfat the Blight Blocked Bridgeand need to figure out how to move on. There is also a hidden chestin the areathatshould give you a fair amount of loot.
First,use a long-range attack to shoot the red Blight spoton the wall to the left of the blockade. This part should be relatively straightforward. Then, you should run across the bridge as far as possible. There will be a Power Crystal on your right, and you can pick it up. Thebridge will disappear, but you want that to happen as it will reveal something you could not see before.
The spot you are looking for is another red Blight spotunderneath the bridge. You can shoot it, which will break another section of the Blight blocking the path, and what is left of the Blight will turn red. This willallow you to remove what Blight is left, and you can head directly to the next area.
You do not necessarily have to remove the Power Crystal to see the spot under the bridge. If you stand to the right of the bridge instead and look down, youcanspot the Blight and shoot it with another long-ranged attack. It might be easier if you remove the Power Crystal, but there are other options.
However, you will want totake that Power Crystal with you as you move forward, as you will need it to finish unblocking the next area. Take it into the gate room and put the Power Crystal into the empty slot waiting for you. This will allow the gate to open, andyou can progress the quest as normal.
You will have to fight the Darkspawn Ghoul as you move into the next area, and there are a couplemore Beam Generator puzzlesto solve. When you do get your hands on the dagger, you will be swarmed by enemies once more. Eventually, you will be able to claim the Lyrium Dagger for yourself after your enemies are defeated and speak to Harding about it. There are manychoices inDragon Age: The Veilguard, and theend of this quest will present you with quite a few.
Once you have fully completedThe Singing Bladequest, you will earn some rewards. This includes:
