There is a giant Blighted Tree in Dragon Age: The Veilguard that you can open and enter. Let us save you some confusion.
Players can find a Blighted Tree in Dragon Age: The Veilguard while exploring the Crossroads. This location in the game consists of several islands that can be traveled to using Spirit Docks. However, some of them don’t unlock until you progress through certain quests.
The Heights of Athim is one such example. Once you unlock it and visit it, there is a giant tree that is fully covered in Blight here. It’s not the prettiest sight to behold, so you may want to get rid of it. Moreover, it contains rewards for you if you save the tree from the fleshy roots that have taken over.
It’s not part of any quests but something that you can come across while exploring. Once you reach the Heights of Athim Spirit Dock, head to the combat area below the zipline via the ruined building. Head right. There will be a Fen’Harel Altar here, but leave that for now and move ahead through the tilted house.
Climb the wooden staircase on your right and then climb the ladder. Go left, take the stone staircase, and turn left again to climb another wooden staircase. Now, you will have reached the base of the Blighted Tree.
Opening the Blighted Tree for Your Gain
At the base of the tree, you will notice that the Blight surrounding its trunk is gray-colored. This means that it can’t be destroyed directly. Such Blight veins usually have a source boil. However, no amount of boil-bursting in the Heights of Athim will help you here because the task is something different.
If you walk up to the base of the tree, you will notice that it says, X/50 Darkspawn Killed (X is a variable here). You have to kill 50 Darkspawn in the Heights of Athim to unlock this pathway. You can just go around hunting for them. However, the fastest way can be saving the game, quitting it, and then loading the saved file.
This should allow the killed Darkspawn to respawn so you can kill them again and easily amp up your kill count. Once done, the roots will open up to reveal a large chest inside.
Open the chest to reap unique rewards that may be different for each person playing the game.
