Dragon Age: The Veilguard - Cornered In The Catacombs Walkthrough

Cornered In The Catacombs is a quest in Dragon Age: The Veilguard that takes you deep underneath Dock Town where the Blight is growing untamed. It's your job to go in there and tame in. One of the most claustrophobic quests in the game, it sees you squeeze into the caverns under the city (ie the catacombs) to stomp out the Blight.

The boots doing that stomping should be either Taash or Davrin, since the Darkspawn you'll be facing a Vulnerable to Fire. Since these fights take place in tight spaces (someone should make a game about that), someone who can set up Detonations like Neve or Bellara would be good too - but not Emmrich, as these creatures Resist Necrotic damage.

Defeat The Darkspawn

The first part of this quest is very linear, and involves going through the caves and fighting Darkspawn. It's not until later, when the Blight Boils are hidden in a puzzle, that things get tricky. For now, use area Abilities when the Ghouls swarm, and target your ranged and Fire attacks on the Hurlock Blighters, aiming for their orange boils.

You should continue this tactic until the Bloodhunting Berzerker arrives, at which point you should rush it with Heavy attacks, ideally after trapping it with an area Ability. Once its Armor is removed, use Fire abilities to eliminate it.

How To Destroy The Blight

After the combat ends, you will find yourself in a large room with stone arches, and multiple Blight Boils to burst. First, you need to destroy the large, tree-like Blight in the middle of the room. Then the hunt is on for the rest of them.

Igore the Evanuris Altar for now, as you cannot use it until the Blight goes.

Head to the back of the room under the doorway arch, and aim at the ceiling with the power wheel. Directly above the statue, you can use RB/R1 to have Assan attack it. This will lead to the other Blight Boils becoming vulnerable to attack.

Turn right and aim at the Boil on the stone window, then go back to the cluster above the statue with RB/R1. You wll need to do this every time. Aim left at the one on the wall, then back to the cluster.

Next get the one in the alcove to the left of the gate you're trying to enter, and back to the cluster again. Then directly away from the tunnel with the gate, aim through the gap in the wall for the next one.

You don't need to go back to the cluster now. Instead, attack the large boil on the wall, and attack the gate. Before leaving, activate the Evanuris Altar and the sheilds should all be easily reachable now.

How To Solve The Stone Puzzle

As you head down into the water, you see a stone blocking a magic beam. However, moving that stone moves another, so one will always be blocking the beam. You need to make it so the beam can pass through.

What you need to do is lower the first stone so the beam goes through the gap. Then move the stone on the wall, pulling it out. This will block the stone you just lowered from rising. Go through the gap yourself, and lower the second stone. This time, the first stone will not rise, and the beam will pass through.

This will let you destroy the Blight in the alcove by the beam, which will let you attack the Blight gate near the entrance, which leads to an elevator.

Outside, you will fight more Darkspawn, but less than the first wave, so it should not be diifficult. Destroy the Blight on the raised beams, then on the wall, to open the gate, then follow the marker to the quest end.
