A Hidden Hoard is a treasure-hunting quest in Dragon Age: The Veilguard that requires you to track a hidden treasure in Minrathous.
A Hidden Hoard is a treasure-hunting quest in BioWare’s Dragon Age: The Veilguard. You need to find some clues to get close to the hidden treasure called ‘A Hidden Hoard’ in Minrathous. The quest can be picked up from a board in Dock Town.
Your objective will read ‘Locate the hidden treasure in Minrathous’ once you start to track the quest. Once you reach the target area, the quest area will be highlighted as a circle on the mini-map. This helps you explore certain areas for clues. If you can’t find the clues by yourself, this guide will help you.
Finding the Clues in a Hidden Hoard Quest
1. First Clue
Your quest starts at the Wharf Crossing South. Head to the beginning of the trail to find the first clue. Reach the quest area at the Wharf Crossing South near a big statue in the center. Look right and there will be a shop.
Enter the shop, and you will see the first note on a table on your left near the entrance. Interact with the note to get the first clue, which points you to a bridge near the Lamplighter.
2. Second Clue
Now, continue along the Side Alley Bridge. The quest marker leads you to a building. Climb the stairs and turn left to notice a building with a triangular top entrance. Enter the building, climb the rock in your way, and you will find an opening on your right.
Go through the opening and climb further to reach the top. Continue along the path to reach the end, where you will find the second note near a chest. Interact with the note to get the second clue, which points toward an old tower near the water.
3. Third Clue
Jump from the top and follow the path on your right. Continue through the Shoreline Passage to reach the quest marker, where you will find a paper seller. The third and final note is found on the table on your right. Interact with the note to get the Heavy Bronze Key that unlocks the Ancient Door in the catacombs.

Where To Find the Ancient Door?
Now that we have the key to the Ancient Door, let’s head to the catacombs. Cross the boats at Aula’s Lookout to reach the catacombs. Continue along the pathway and take the first left. You will see a chest near a wooden structure. If you get ambushed by some enemies, you’re heading in the right direction. Defeat them and follow the path to find the Ancient Door on your right.
Use the Heavy Bronze Key we got from the third note to open the Ancient Door. The room contains three notes and two chests along with the foul smell. Read the three notes to investigate the foul smell.
This ends the A Hidden Hoard quest and unlocks a sequel quest called Desperate in Dock Town. You will receive the following rewards for completing the quest: 300 Gold, 5 Fade-Touched Crystals, an increase in bonds with your companions, and your faction strength.
