In Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the quest titled Regrets of the Dread Wolf offers players an intriguing storyline combined with valuable loot. To complete this quest, you’ll embark on a mission to locate six wolf statues, one of which is automatically acquired during the main narrative.
The search for the remaining five statues will reveal extensive details about Solas’ intricate history and his motivations. Below, we provide a comprehensive guide to help you locate all the statues and confront the final boss in the quest.
1. Locations of all 6 Wolf Statuettes in Dragon Age: The Veilguard
- One statuette is obtained during a main quest, while the other five are hidden across the Crossroads.
- Defeating champions allows access to new areas and essences, with two statuettes available through straightforward exploration.
- Furthermore, complete three “dream sequences” to reveal Solas’ intentions regarding Elgar’nan and Ghillan’nain, rewarding you with the last three statuettes.
After acquiring the first figurine, you can follow the quest log in your journal to uncover the precise locations of the other statuettes.
i. Wolf Statuette 1
The first Wolf Statuette is acquired during the “Shades of the Blight” quest from the Inquisitor. Continue through the campaign until you encounter Morrigan in Dock Town. Following a brief dialogue, the Inquisitor will present you with the first statuette.
ii. Wolf Statuette 2
To locate the second Wolf Statuette, head towards the Gate of Lost Ages in the Converged City, which becomes accessible after defeating the Darkspawn Champion in Dock Town. Explore the area and solve the crystal puzzle to reach the cliffside where this statuette rests near a Fen’harel Statue.
iii. Wolf Statuette 3
The third Wolf Statuette is found in the central area of the Converged City, previously blocked. Complete relevant challenges, dispatch any foes, and proceed to the end of this section to collect the statuette.
iv. Wolf Statuette 4
The fourth Wolf Statuette can be found on the Heights of Athim, a floating island located northeast of the Crossroads. Follow the snowy path through the island’s center, heading south to initiate a dream sequence that grants access to this statuette.
v. Wolf Statuette 5
The fifth Wolf Statuette is located in Elv’henan’s Haven, found on the right side of the map. As you travel north past the Gate of Parched Hope, look for a side path to the left. This will lead you to another dream sequence, rewarding you with this statuette upon completion.
we. Wolf Statuette 6
The final Wolf Statuette can be retrieved in Elv’henan’s Haven by heading north from the center. Overcome the foes activated by the altar trap, then rotate the nearby statues to face one another, unlocking the path to the northern rock formation, which holds the statuette along with a Fen’harel Statue token.
2. Uncovering Solas’ Past
After collecting all six Wolf Statuettes, head to the main hall of the Lighthouse. Placing each statuette at its designated altar will trigger a series of cutscenes that delve into Solas’ connections with Mythal and the imprisonment of the gods.
As the memories unfold, interact with your companions’ insights, responding to their thoughts to gain a richer understanding of Solas’ past, his deep-seated motivations, and the complexities of his character.
Once the cutscenes conclude, meet up with Morrigan in the Crossroads to discuss the recent events impacting Thedas. Morrigan will reveal a new path leading to a snowy realm where you will encounter a fragment of Mythal’s spirit.
3. Confronting Mythal’s Spirit Boss
After Morrigan opens the path, traverse through the snowy terrain until you encounter Mythal’s spirit. Engage in dialogue to demonstrate your worthiness with the following statements:
- “I want your help.”
- “We must stop the blight.” → “You stood against it.”
- “We must stop the gods.” → “They wronged you.”
- “We are worthy.” → “Building a safe place.”
i. Successfully Convincing Mythal
If you manage to convince Mythal, she will gift you with Mythal’s Light, an essential weapon for the climax of the game. Its unique benefits include:
- 0 Physical Damage
- 450 Stagger
- +80 Damage to Fire, Necrotic, Electricity, and Cold
Explore the arena thoroughly to find a treasure chest containing the A Pale Reflection amulet, which offers the following bonuses:
- +5% ultimate charge upon defeating an enemy
- +20% damage against low-health adversaries
- All standard/non-boss enemies count as low-health
ii. Failing to Convince Mythal
If you fail in persuading Mythal through incorrect choices, she will transform into her formidable dragon form, known as Mythal’s Retribution. This Level 45 boss will provide a tough challenge, but defeating her will still yield similar rewards, albeit with a higher difficulty level.
