In the immersive world of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, players encounter a plethora of collectible items, with the Candlehop quest in Dock Town presenting one of the most challenging adventures. There are a total of eight Candlehops to discover, and although that may seem manageable at first glance, their cleverly hidden locations make them a tricky find.
However, the reward for tracking down all the Candlehops goes beyond mere achievement. Completing this quest grants access to a rich bounty of treasures, including the coveted Timelost Hoard. If you are determined to gather these rewards but are struggling to locate the Candlehops, this guide provides detailed information on their whereabouts.
Complete Guide to Candlehop Locations in Dock Town
Throughout Dock Town, eight Candlehops await discovery in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Most of them can be collected in any order, with the exception of the first and last Candlehops, which are both located within the Safehouse. The rest can be picked up whenever they are encountered during your exploration.
Candlehop #1 – The Safehouse
Upon entering Dock Town, you will find the first Candlehop in the Safehouse. This location is unavoidable as it is where your journey begins. The Candlehop is positioned conveniently to the right of the door leading outside.
To initiate the adventure, first locate a book within the Safehouse. Reading this book will officially launch the Candlehop treasure hunt. Upon returning to this spot later, you will discover the Candlehop has appeared, but ensure to read the book to activate the quest!
Candlehop #2 – Parthenius Main Docks
Travel to the Parthenius Main Docks to uncover another Candlehop hidden inside a boat. To reach this location, fast-travel to the Wharf Crossing, head south, take the first right, and then another right to arrive at the Docks’ farthest side. Here, you will discover several wooden platforms leading to a large boat containing your next Candlehop.
Candlehop #3 – Aula’s Lookout
This Candlehop is located above the Catacombs in a platform area that is occasionally inaccessible. To find it, you must wait for the Out of Tune side quest, which causes a golden ladder to descend. Climb up this ladder and look to your right to unveil the Candlehop.
Candlehop #4 – Temple Courtyard
The Temple Courtyard is accessible relatively early in the game. Fast-travel to Urthemiel Venue, travel east, and enter through the doors on the left to find the Candlehop adjacent to a small table in the courtyard.
Candlehop #5 – The Warrens
To find the Candlehop in The Warrens, start from Andraste’s Watch. Move eastward to the Fen’Harel Altar, ride the zipline, then proceed through the door to access a balcony. From there, drop down and move to the right where you will encounter a small staircase leading to the Candlehop at the top.
Candlehop #6 – The Black Emporium
You can discover the Candlehop in The Black Emporium once you’ve made significant progress in Dock Town and Neve’s personal quests. After unlocking the shop, locate the Candlehop to the right of the cashier.
Candlehop #7 – Thread Storehouse
The Thread Storehouse will only be accessible after completing specific quests involving Neve’s personal missions. After reaching the Thread Market for the first time, finish your quest and revisit the area. The Candlehop will be positioned behind a metal grate; utilize the Dagger to melt the ice on the mechanism above and operate the nearby lever to reveal the Candlehop.
Candlehop #8 – The Safehouse
The last Candlehop is again located at the Safehouse, near where you discovered the book to initiate the quest. Fast-travel back and navigate right from the second main area to find the Candlehop positioned outside a locked door. Collecting this final Candlehop will grant you access to complete the quest.
Rewards for Collecting All Candlehops in Dock Town
Once you collect the final Candlehop, a treasure trove of rewards becomes accessible at the Dock Town Safehouse. Ascending the stairs will lead you to a chest from the Timelost Hoard, containing valuable items such as the Archon’s Gaze, a Golden Lion collectible, and a Royal Elfroot.
Additionally, behind the treasure chest, you will find the Candlehop Maker Codex Entry and the One Moment of Victory momento, which enhances your abilities with an additional +50 Caretaker Power.
