Dragon Age: The Veilguard Gate of Pale Reflections Walkthrough

AntMag.NET

Alright, let's tackle the Gate of Pale Reflections quest in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. This one's a bit of a trek, so make sure you've progressed the main story a bit – specifically, you'll need to have finished the 'Completing the Veilguard' quest. Once that's done, the Hossberg Wetlands area opens up, and that's where we're headed.

Walkthrough

1
Finding the Gate: The Gate itself is located in the Heights of Athim, within the Crossroads area. It's on the southeastern edge, but getting there requires a bit of setup. First, head to the southern part of the Heights of Athim and use a zipline. Before that, you'll need to clear out some Blight cysts in the area. Once those are dealt with, you'll spot the Gate. Approach it to start the quest. Keep in mind, you won't be able to find the Champion for this gate right away; we'll need to unlock the Hossberg Wetlands first.
2
Unlocking the Champion Location: As mentioned, you can't access the Champion until after the 'Completing the Veilguard' quest. This quest unlocks the Hossberg Wetlands as an explorable zone, which is pretty overrun with Blight. Head to Solitude's Edge in the Hossberg Wetlands. You'll find the Solitude's Edge Beacon towards the southeast of the map.
3
Facing the Champion: When you reach Solitude's Edge, expect a fight. Lots of Darkspawn will attack, so clear them out first. Once the area is safe, look towards the back – you'll see another large Cyst. Burst it to trigger the fight against the Champion, Amarell the Unwoven.

Tips

Amarell the Unwoven is the highest-level Champion you'll face, coming in at Level 35. It's a good idea to save this fight for last.
The arena is quite large, which gives you plenty of room to dodge attacks.
Amarell is weak to Fire damage and resistant to Necrotic damage. So, if you have companions like Davrin and Taash, they'll be very effective. Try to avoid using Lucanis and Emmrich if possible.
Amarell's Attacks:
- Darkness: Amarell will plunge the area into darkness, making it hard to see and hindering your companions. This usually starts the fight, so focus on dodging until visibility returns.
Explosions: Watch out for large red AoE circles on the ground; dodge away from these as they indicate an incoming explosion.
Explosive Leap: Amarell targets a spot with an AoE circle and then leaps to it, causing an explosion. Dodge as soon as you see the circle. This can create an opening for you.
Explosive Ground Pound: A quick attack where Amarell sends an explosion in a line and also explodes around itself. Keep an eye on its facing to react quickly.
Explosive Charge: Amarell charges towards you, covered in explosive material. If it hits a wall instead of you, it will become stunned, leaving it vulnerable.

Strategy: Keep a constant eye on the AoE markers. When Amarell uses Darkness, forget about attacking and just focus on evading until you can see again. Detonating combos can slow Amarell down, giving you opportunities for free hits. If Amarell uses its Explosive Charge and hits a wall, you'll have a great chance to attack while it's stunned.
