Dragon Age: The Veilguardpits you against eight major enemy factions, with the Venatori serving as some of the most annoying recurring thorns in Rook’s side during your adventure. This time, you have to destroy the Venatori crystals and disruptanother dangerous ritual that threatens everyone.
While the Venatori aren’t particularly clever with their locking mechanisms, there is one small caveat to the glowing red crystals you’ll find throughout this mission; they must be destroyed in order. The key is to follow the red beams to their source until eventually you reach an unprotected crystal; destroy this first one, and then make your way to the previously shielded ones.
How To Find The Venatori Ritual Site
Last Ritesbegins in theWharf Crossing North area,where you mustlocate and destroy red crystalsat a Venatori ritual site.
You’ll notice a crystal protected by a red shield on the ground,hidden behind some large pillars.
If you wait, you’ll see a red light hitting this crystal from above, which leads toanother red crystal floating high above.
Destroy the unshielded floating crystal,which will, in turn,remove the shield from the first crystalnear the pillars. Destroy that second crystal, then turn toward the large red barrier, where you’ll seethe third crystal you’re able to destroy.
Lastly, destroy the red crystal on the dooritself to deactivate the barrier and open the path.
Investigate a note in front of the double-door entrance that you can access now, and yourquest will update to save the person in need.
Follow your marker down the nearby staircase to theParthenius Main Docks.
You’ll encounter agroup of Venatori here, including a Blood Forge(weak to Cold, resists Fire) with a yellow armor bar on top of its normal HP.
Area of effect (AoE) skills are exceptionally good here,especially if you can group the Venatori with the Blood Forge, allowing you to deal incredible damage to all of your opponents at once.
Once you crush the Venatori forces, you’ll find a civilian trapped inside a red force field withtwo shielded red crystals powering the civilian’s main shield.
Saving The Trapped Citizen
First,look up and past the boat on the civilian’s right-hand side,and you’ll see an object you caninteractwith hanging high above the ground.
Interact andreveal the first unshielded crystal,then destroy it, followed by thesecond crystal on the boat, with thethirdcrystal being the onenext to the civilian.
From here, look to thenorthto find the source of anothercrystalchaininside a nearby buildingalong the dock.
