Unlocking the Secrets of the Lighthouse Puzzle in Dragon Age: The Veilguard
In **Dragon Age: The Veilguard**, your adventure begins at the **Lighthouse**, which serves as your team’s headquarters in the enigmatic realm of the Fade. While you’ll gradually gain access to different rooms as you gather companions, there’s one **hidden chamber** that requires you to solve a captivating puzzle. To uncover this mystery, head to **Bellara’s Workshop**, where a statue holds a note with the intriguing message: **’To enter the library passage, three couples must face each other.’**
This riddle refers to **three pairs of statues** positioned throughout the Lighthouse. Notably, the nearby statue features a **lever glowing in yellow** at its base. Interacting with it allows you to rotate the statue, directing it to face another nearby statue. Here’s how to locate the three pairs of statues within the Lighthouse of The Veilguard:
Locating the Statue Couples in Dragon Age: The Veilguard
**Statue Couple #1**
The first pair of statues is situated near the note location. Look **east from the initial statue** to find another statue perched on a platform **behind Neve’s desk**. To access this statue, approach the desk without using the stairs. Instead, **descend one level** to navigate beneath the building and rotate the statue to ensure it faces the first one.
**Statue Couple #2**
The second pair of statues is spread out a bit more than the first. The first statue can be found **south of the Dining Room**. Rotate this statue to face **west**, and follow its gaze to discover the corresponding statue **at the top of the stairs on the south side of the Lighthouse door**.
**Statue Couple #3**
The final pair of statues is located **on the balcony directly above the Lighthouse door**. These statues are in close proximity, so simply rotate them to face each other. Once completed, you will hear a sound emanating from within the Lighthouse, granting you access to the **Music Room**. The entrance is conveniently located just to the right of the central table. However, there’s more to unravel. **Before proceeding, ensure you advance through the main quests to unlock Emmrich and Taash**.
Finding the Will-o’-the-Wisps in the Lighthouse
After successfully recruiting **Emmrich** and **Taash**, return to the music room. Here, you will hear the voice of the **Watcher** and spot a **will-o’-the-wisp** near the piano. Approach it and place it into one of the bases on the left. A note on the wall reads: **’You will find assistance, between the gods who face each other.’**
This clue will lead you to the **second will-o’-the-wisp**, which is located **between the two statues on the balcony overlooking the Lighthouse entrance**. Retrieve it and hurry back to the music room to place it on its base.
With both will-o’-the-wisps in position, a new portal will open, leading you to the balcony overlooking the library. Interact with the object on the left to **restore the Astrolabe**, allowing further upgrades to **the Watcher’s Workshop**. To complete the puzzle, make sure to leap from the balcony and earn the trophy **’Nostalgia’!**
