The ‘Magic of the Ancients’ quest in Dragon Age: The Veilguard requires you to fix a malfunctioning artifact in Arlathan Forest.
The world of Thedas in Dragon Age: The Veilguard is rich in history, culture, and ancient secrets. Thedas has seen emperors rise, kings fall, and dragons vanish and resurge. The land has witnessed it all and holds its secrets, waiting for someone to uncover them. Arlathan Forest is a vast, lush forest with its own set of mysteries that you can discover in the Magic of the Ancients quest.
In this guide, we will explore everything about the Magic of the Ancients quest in Dragon Age: The Veilguard starting from where to find and start the quest to how to execute it.
How To Start Magic of the Ancients Quest?
To begin the Magic of the Ancients quest in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, go to the Jagged Ruins at the northwestern end of Arlathan Forest. You can reach these ruins by spawning at the beacon near the Nameless Building and working your way northwest through the Tattered Bridge by fixing it. Be prepared to face enemies along the way.
At the Jagged Ruins entrance, you will find an artifact malfunctioning. Interact with it to begin the Magic of the Ancients quest.
How To Fix the Artifact?
To identify the problem with the malfunctioning artifact, take a look at the crystals it is connected to. There are three crystals linked to the artifact.
First Crystal
To find the first crystal, turn in the direction opposite the artifact and take the path straight. Keep going forward until you reach an intersection, with a flight of stairs up ahead and a path heading right. Take the path on the right to reach the first crystal and tinker with it.
Second Crystal
Similarly, for the second crystal, follow the same path but take the flight of stairs at the intersection. Follow the path straight until you reach a zipline. Take the zipline to reach the second crystal and tinker with it.
Third Crystal
Next to the second crystal is a magical device emitting a light beam. Interact with this device and point the beam to the device on the west to assemble a bridge. Use the zipline to head to the start of the bridge. Cross the bridge to reach the third crystal.
Head back to the artifact after tinkering with the three crystals. Tinker with the artifact to fix it and complete the Magic of the Ancients quest in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
