Dragon Age: The Veilguard — How to Open the Warden Vault
In Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the Grey Warden Vault is a secret area in the Grey Warden castle in the Rivain Coast. This vault contains some powerful gear and items, as well as faction strength for the Grey Wardens and Lords of Fortune. Unlocking the vault will require a bit of puzzle-solving, as there are 3 hidden locks. This guide will provide all the solutions to each lock.

Lock #1
Start at the castle gate and enter the small entrance to the right. Once you reach the outer courtyard, go inside the large archway. Break all the barrels and boxes inside until you see three levers on the wall. Pull each lever in the following order:
Left – Right – Middle
After that, climb up the stairs in the courtyard, dismantle the wooden support on the left, and enter the castle gate room. Pull the lever on the left to open the portcullis. The first lock is in this room.
Lock #2
The next puzzle involves finding 4 skeletal remains in the castle, which are marked by green butterflies flying around them. Start at the inner courtyard and go forward until you see the first doorway on the right. Enter it and interact with the skeleton in the corner. This will summon a ghost that’ll pass through the wall behind it.
Next, go to the outer courtyard, head up the stairs, and turn right. The second skeleton can be found underneath a stone archway.
From the second skeleton, backtrack to the small archway leading to the front of the castle gate. The third skeleton is just in the corner.
Lastly, go back to the inner courtyard and interact with the ghost in the far-right corner. This will lead you to the second lock.
Lock #3
From the inner courtyard facing south, enter the first doorway on the right. Follow the pathway going further south. Once you enter the open area, look right and you should see an explosive barrel. Detonate the barrel with Ignite and a ladder will drop down.
Before ascending the ladder, backtrack to the entrance and go through the hallway on the left, which has some training dummies and target boards. Destroy the Blistering Drakestone blocking the path ahead.
Go back to the dropped ladder and climb up. There should be a wisp waiting in the corner that you can approach. Have the wisp follow you and go back to the path that you just cleared in the training hallway. Bring the wisp towards the locked door and it will reanimate a skeleton that will open the way for you. The third lock is just behind the door.
Loot Room
With all three locks opened, return to the inner courtyard and take the path leading downstairs. Destroy the Blistering Drakestone and open the door at the end of the path. Open it and enjoy your newfound spoils.
