Sea of Blood is an important quest in Dragon Age: The Veilguard that gives access to a new companion. Let us guide you through it.
Sea of Blood is a quest in the fourth chapter of Dragon Age: The Veilguard. In this chapter, you are given three quests simultaneously. One is Into the Crossroads, and the other two are Sea of Blood and The Smuggled Relic Case.
When you finish Into the Crossroads, you face a choice of whether to head to Treviso or Dock Town first. Finish both the missions one after the other, but choosing one over the other can greatly ease the other mission. So, we would suggest to choose Treviso first.
Heading to Treviso will start the Sea of Blood quest. You meet Teia, an associate of the Antivan Crows. She takes you to them, and they ask to visit The Ossuary and free Lucanis. It is only after reaching the underwater prison that the mission kicks off.
The Sea of Blood Quest Will Give You a New Friend
You can only select one companion for this quest because Lucanis will eventually join your company halfway in. Once you reach The Ossuary, follow the quest marker on the screen. You will eventually cross a bridge with dead bodies on it. Turn right after crossing it and slide through the big slope. Again, keep following the marker.
There will eventually be a giant red screen blocking a door. Blast the three crystals suspended in the air above the door. First, hit the middle one, then hit the right and left ones. There is no timer, so take your time with them. Now, smash the crystal on the door itself, and it shall open up.
Enter the hall ahead, and a cutscene will play out. Lucanis will now join your party without much resistance.
Finding Lucanis’ Blood Vial
When you exit the hall, there will be immediate resistance from some enemies. Defeat them, and the path ahead will be clear. Either head straight to reach your objective or turn left instead. Both paths lead to the same spot, but the left turn takes longer. To compensate, it is also filled with chests and other loot.
We went left and found a small ‘red screen door’ puzzle again. After you have solved and looted, head up the big platform and out through the archway. You will find an empty power crystal socket on the left as you are following the path. You can’t cross that bridge because it needs a power crystal.
Keep heading in the same direction, and you will come across some Venatori. Dealt with them, pick up the power crystal that lies ahead on your path, and take it back to access the broken bridge we mentioned earlier. After looting, bring the power crystal to its original socket and continue ahead.
Head straight and turn right onto the bridge when it appears. It’s the same bridge that we talked about in the beginning, the one with two dead bodies. Cross it, and head left this time. Just use Lucanis’ obstacle skill with the help of the skill wheel prompt on the screen.
Follow the waypoint to the lower floor. There will be enemies. Defeat them and the mini-boss called The Fabricator. Break the crystal door ahead. Jump down from the ledge ahead. There is an empty socket on the left. The power crystal is hiding on the right side of that floor. However, the way to progress the story is to keep heading straight.
The path is pretty straightforward now. You will face a few ambushes along the way, but they won’t be much trouble in front of Rook and their party. Keep on the path, and there will eventually be a big gap between two ledges that you can’t cross. Use Lucanis’ powers to create an alternate path on the right instead. With enough patience, you will reach the room where the blood vial is being kept. Things aren’t over yet, though.
The Final Phase
To reach the blood vial and break the blood magic, clear one more red crystal puzzle. The giant crystal in the air is blocking the door and is guarded by many other crystals. First, look to the right and activate Lucanis’ obstacle skill again to destroy the only crystal there.
Now, come back to the starting position, head left, into the hall, and finally enter the back room of this hall. Break the vulnerable crystal. Then, break the one floating in the hall. After that, break the one outside the archway. It’s finally time to break the big crystal in the middle and then smash the blocked door open.
Break the big blood vial, loot everything in the room, and head back out to take on Calivan, at last. It’s a short trip to the elevator that will take you to the powerful mage. They wouldn’t go down without a fight. Focus on Calivan more than any other spawned enemies. Once their health reaches 30%, they will disappear and summon a big demon called Calivan’s Pride. After you kill it, Calivan will return.
Though they will still have 30% health, the armor would have been fully recovered. Defeat Calivan, loot the area and talk to Lucanis when ready to wrap up the Sea of Blood.
