In Dragon Age™: The Veilguard, solving the lighthouse puzzle is essential to unlocking the “A Nostalgic Journey (Test fall damage from the lighthouse and survive)” trophy/achievement.
Completing this puzzle also grants access to the central hall’s balcony, which holds a treasure chest for players to claim.
Lighthouse Puzzle Overview
To solve the lighthouse puzzle, you must rotate six statues so that they face each other in three pairs. Successfully completing this will unlock the music room in the circular hall and allow you to bring two glowing orbs into the room. One orb will appear automatically, while the other is located between two statues on the upper level outside the room (accessible after completing Chapter 8’s main quest “Shades of the Blight” and recruiting Taash and Emmrich as companions). Placing both orbs in the music room will activate a portal that leads to the balcony above the circular hall.
Step-by-Step Guide to Solve the Lighthouse Puzzle
Step 1: Rotate the Upper Middle Statues
Rotate the two statues in the upper center so they face each other.
Step 2: Rotate the Left-Side Statues
Adjust the left-side statues to face each other. One statue is behind Bellara’s room, and the other is below Nav’s room.
Step 3: Rotate the Right-Side Statues
Rotate the two right-side statues to face each other. One is outside Lucanis’ room, while the other is near the previously adjusted statues on the upper level.
Step 4: Confirm All Statues Are Facing Each Other
Once all six statues are properly rotated to face each other, a glowing green orb will appear and float toward the lighthouse. The wall will open, granting access to the music room.
Step 5: Place the First Orb in the Music Room
Enter the music room and place the first orb at the door. This orb will only be available after completing Chapter 8’s main quest “Shades of the Blight”, which requires recruiting Taash and Emmrich.
Step 6: Retrieve the Second Orb
Head back outside the music room and go to the upper level where the initial statues were rotated. The second orb will appear here; bring it into the music room and place it by the door.
Step 7: Enter the Portal
A portal will appear in the music room once both orbs are placed. Step through the portal to reach the balcony above the hall.
Step 8: Interact with the Blue Crystal
Interact with the blue crystal on the balcony to summon the guardian and claim your reward.
Unlocking the Trophy/Achievement
After interacting with the crystal, jump off the balcony to test fall damage and successfully survive. This action will unlock the “A Nostalgic Journey” trophy/achievement.
Tips for Completing the Puzzle
Ensure that all statues are precisely facing each other to trigger the next stage.
Completing the “Shades of the Blight” quest is crucial for the second orb to appear.
Be prepared for combat with the guardian after interacting with the crystal for additional rewards.
