The Warden Vault <\/strong>is one of Dragon Age: The Veilguard<\/u><\/a>'s treasure-hunting quests, as you scour a ruined castle in the Rivain Coast region, looking for seals to unlock some loot. It's quite easy to miss if you haven't explored the region thoroughly, and in particular, the castle that dominates much of its centre.<\/p>\n

Still, it's well worth doing if you want armour, weapons, and even a unique ring that Rook can equip, strengthening one of your class-based abilities. All that said, here's where to pick up the Warden Vault quest and find the vault itself, plus how to open the three locks preventing you from pilfering what's contained within.<\/p>\n

You can find the Warden Vault in the Rivain Coast region<\/strong>, specifically, once you arrive in the main hall of the castle. Head down the right side stairs from the main entrance with the portcullis and melt the Blistering Drakestone with Taash (or the knife) to find the vault and get The Warden Vault quest.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On the body in front of the door, you'll find the “Journal of a thief”, which explains that you need to find the three seals located around the castle and unlock them to open the vault and get at the treasure inside. You'll get approximate map markers for each of the three puzzles, though the quest won't describe exactly what to do.<\/p>\n

Head out of the vault, up the stairs, and back out of the entrance to the main hall. Turn left through two small archways, then get Taash\u2014or use the Lyrium Dagger\u2014to destroy the Gaatlok Barrel against the wall.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Go left again towards the wagon and the space filled with wooden boxes. Smash all of these to reveal three torches you need to light in a certain order. When facing them, the sequence is:<\/p>\n
