Complete walkthrough for the Kataranda the Stormrider quest in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Learn how to find treasure, defeat the High Dragon, and claim your rewards.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    To start the quest, progress the main story to Act 2 and complete the Fire and Ice quest. Ensure you have finished Taash's previous companion quest, Slaying the Fangscorcher.
  2. 2
    Accept the quest at the Hall of Valor by reading the posting on the board in the bar.
  3. 3
    Head to the Rivain Coast and go to the shore at the Winding Shoreline. Examine the boat and use Taash's Dragonfire on meltable objects to find the first piece of treasure.
  4. 4
    Travel east to the next Beacon and go to the large opening where you fought the previous dragon. Examine the wreck, and the Griffon will help you find the second piece of treasure from interactable digspots.
  5. 5
    Locate the third wreck nearby. Take the ladder north to the Clifftops area. The third treasure has been carried off by a bird. Head to the northernmost marker (near the Beacon) to find the bird and the final treasure.
  6. 6
    Return to the large opening (Dragon Beach) where you found the second treasure. Place the treasures to begin the battle with Kataranda.
  7. 7
    Confront Kataranda, a High Dragon focusing on electrical attacks. The arena has electrified water, so use raised areas to avoid damage.
  8. 8
    Kataranda is weak to Necrotic damage; consider bringing Lucanis or Emmrich.
  9. 9
    Attack glowing limbs for weak point damage. Deal enough Stagger damage to topple the dragon and expose its heart for massive damage.
  10. 10
    Dodge electrical bolts, ground pounds, and melee swipes. When Kataranda retreats, she casts continuous lightning or conjures an electrical storm; stay on raised land until she returns.
  11. 11
    Defeat Kataranda.
  12. 12
    Claim the treasure Kataranda was hoarding, which contains the Unyielding Stone amulet.
