Follow our walkthrough for 'A Cage for Gods' in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Learn how to loot the prison chest, explore the Western, Northwestern, and Southeastern paths, and escape the prison.
Walkthrough
- 1After completing 'Isle of the Gods,' you will automatically start 'A Cage for Gods' in a desaturated ruin in the Fade.
- 2Head north, then northwest to find a chest sealed by three motes of light. To open it, you must explore the other paths.
- 3Western Path: Go northwest, leap over boulders to cross a gap, and find a wolf statue. Collect the Remnant of Failure (+200 Caretaker Power) from the ground. Return to the chest; one mote of light will be gone.
- 4Northwestern Path: Take stairs northwest (which run north and east). Approach a gap to spawn boulders to cross. Near another wolf statue, collect the Remnant of Reflection (+200 Caretaker Power). Return to the chest; a second mote of light will be gone.
- 5Southeastern Path: From your starting point, head east and north, navigating stairs to find the Remnant of Parting (+200 Caretaker Power) near a statue.
- 6Return to the chest. With all motes gone, open it to receive the Displace rune, Storm rune, Rampart rune, and the Arlathan’s Fall cosmetic.
- 7Escape the Prison: Take the northern of the two eastern paths. A staircase will appear. Ascend and follow the linear path.
- 8You will encounter statues of three friends you've failed. Your dialogue choices here do not significantly alter the outcome, as Rook rationalizes her decisions. The dialogue will be influenced by your past choices, including companion quests and treatment of companions.
- 9After this encounter, return to Solas’s ritual site for a final revelation and cutscenes.
- 10Upon completion of the scenes, 'A Cage for Gods' will end, and the quest 'The Dragon and the Dreadwolf' will begin.
