Dragon Age: The Veilguard - Shadows Of Minrathous Wallkthrough

Shadows of Minrathous lets you discover the inner workings of the underbelly of Minrathous, although it's less disgusting than that sounds. This quest in Dragon Age: The Veilguard is all about making first contact with the Shadow Dragons, and discovering more about the struggles they are facing in the Dock Town district.

This is a quest where Neve must be taken for narrative purposes, and unsurprisingly her Cold damage comes in handy for the combat against the Venatori. We also suggest taking Harding trigger Detonations, as several enemies resist Lucanis' Necrotic attacks. Once that's settled, you need to head to the quest marker and meet The Viper to start this one.

What To Buy From The Shadow Dragons

As the quest begins, simply follow the quest marker through the Shadow Dragons' den and take in the sights. You will see a Shadow Dragon merchant, where it is worth buying the weapon and armor upgrades they stock for Neve, as well as her gift Collected Evidence - especially as you will not be able to return soon if you choose to defend Treviso over Minrathous in the main quest.

Any cosmetics you wish to purchase for Rook are a good idea too, though you will have a limited selection at this early stage of the game.

Defeat The Ventori

After following the markers to the Shadowed Courtyard, you will arrive in a small square where you need to fight the Venatori. There are so few of them that Neve's Cold Abilities make short work of them, and once they're defeated, they will reveal a gate into the tunnels. This is another linear section you can follow the marker for.

Destroy The Blight Blocking The Path

At the end of the tunnel, you reach a blighted boil. This doesn't glow red, as others do, but is hardened and blackened. This means it is shielded, and cannot be destroyed yet - you'll encounter this sort of obstacle a lot in The Veilguard.

You need to follow the vein leading away from the boil (and that is as disgusting as it sounds), which in this case means going around the wall to the left. Hit the smaller boil and the one blocking the path with turn red. Attack it, and you can head through like an archway.

Destroy The Source Of The Darkspawn

This leads to the sewers, where the Darkspawn and the Venatori seem to be in collusion. You will need to take out the Venatori using Neve's Cold Abilities and ranged attacks on those with Barrier, but the Darkspawn will continue to attack.

This is because there are two boils at the back of the sewers that continuously spawn them. You know, darkly. One is right on the edge and can be targeted with a ranged attack, while the other is near the back wall and requires you to climb up the ledge to attack it.

Once these boils are destroyed, kill the remaining darkspawn and no more will come. You will face two stronger Venatori - Brothers Dee and Nomad - but the strategy is the same: Neve's Cold damage and ranged attacks to remove the Barrier.

After defeating the Brothers, open the chest for a Bleeding Shard ring that gives 20 percent Bleeding damage.

Find The Door To The Shadow Dragon Refuge

Head back to the area with the boils and attack the large boils on the wall to reveal a ladder. Climb it, and follow the marker along the passage way. Stop off at the wooden beams blocking a cavern to grab a Memento for the Caretaker too. At the end of the passage, there is a door which takes you back to the Shadow Dragons, where a cutscene plays out.

Go To The Warehouse

Once more, as you follow the quest marker you will face more Venatori. There are more here than previously, and stronger, so we suggest Blizzard to contain them and powerful Rook Abilities to cut through them when they're trapped - as well as cutting through their Barriers from range. Detonations will also be a key tool to use here.

After defeating this wave, head to the back of the docks and attack the Venatori Crystal to reveal a ladder. Climb it and defeat the Bloodhunting Zealot (again, Detonations will be a major help) and destroy the second Venatori Crystal behind him. This reveals a second ladder tucked in an alcove, which lets you climb up to the roof and sneak inside.

If the roof entrance does not trigger, go to the main door (and find it locked), which reveals a note complaining about the roof passage being left open.

Two more Venatori with Barrier are on the roof, so take out their Barriers then drop down the hatch. Inside, follow the passage along to the end, where loose wooden boards block your path. Rook is not stopped by wooden boards - attack them and continue on.

Stop The Ritual - Defeat The Bound Hurlock

You'll then find yourself on a ledge in the warehouse, witnessing the Venatori and a Bound Hurlock. For the Flamechained Mages, these are the same as the rest of the Venatori - take off their Barriers from afar with ranged headshots, then use Neve's Cold damage to rip them apart.

In this encounter, you'll want to stay on the ledge you start on for as long as possible - basically, once the Bound Hurlock jumps up, you need to jump down. Until then, focus on the Venatori with well-aimed range attacks, and you should eliminate one or two before the Hurlock sees you.

As for the Hurlock itself, using Detonations will deplete its Armor, and when this happens, its Stagger gauge will rise. Rush in with lots of light attacks to fill this, then perform a Takedown. That alone might not be enough to kill it, but a couple more Ability attacks and careful dodging when it glows red and rushes will see it off.

When the battle is over, head to the stacks of shelves in the middle to interact with a note, and over to the boxes by the side to do the same. This reveals the Venatori plan, at which point the Viper will arrive, and the final cutscene will begin. The quest awards 400 Shadow Dragon strength and 3,750XP, and unlocks In Peace, Vigilance.
