The Singing Blade Overview

The Singing Blade Objectives

Speak With Lace Harding

Returning to the ritual site, Lace Harding appears like she's brooding. Talk to her.

Find the Lyrium Dagger

Solas seems to have left behind his dagger when you interferred with the ritual. Find a way into the ruins to recover it.

As you head inside, past the double doors, Harding notes that something must have taken the dagger. You'll see the small figure of a Ghoul just in front. Chase after it.

Retrieve the Lyrium Dagger

After having dealt with the Darkspawn that have taken the dagger, you come to a mechanism that you use to open the gate. There's a Chest that will literally be in your way, so don't forget to loot it.

Continue following the quest marker to track down the Ghoul. You'll come to an open area where you'll have to fight some enemies. Clear that, then get to a bridge that has Blight blocking your way.

Defeat The Lyrium Ghoul

After clearing the way from the bridge, continue following the path. You'll run into more Darkspawn until you eventually reach a cliffside and go head-to-head with the Lyrium Ghoul. Defeat it to obtain the dagger.

A cutscene will play, powering up Lace Harding. You will then be boxed in with enemies. Beat all of the enemies that appear to finish the quest.

Ask Harding About Her New Powers

Ascertain the nature of Lace's newfound powers.

Harding then talks about Stone sense, and how this new power makes her feel connected to her roots.

Talk to Harding Again in Her Room

After the talk with Harding and Neve, head over to Harding's room to talk to her once more.

Harding then explains what Isatunoll means, and what it means for her and the Dwarves.

Regardless of what choices you pick during this conversation, Harding's approval of you will go up.

The Enemy of My Enemy Sub-Quest

Speak With Solas

To proceed with the next quests, you have to first contact Solas and ask him a few questions. Follow the quest marker until you reach the Meditation Chamber.

Place the 4 Keepsakes to reach Solas. This segment is mainly an interaction, so proceed with the choices that fit with your preferred playstyle. Note that your choices can affect future Dialogue Options.

Consult With The Team

After speaking with Solas, you need to check in with Varric and Neve. These are also purely interactions, so just mind your choices, but they shouldn't really affect quest progression.

Into The Crossroads Sub-Quest

Enter the Crossroads

After checking in with Neve, head towards the Eluvian Room to trigger a cutscene with Bellara and unlock entry to the Crossroads. Dialogue choices made here are only for interactions and will not affect quest progression.

Arrive at the Converged City

Once in the Crossroads, head south of the map to ride a ferry to the Converged City. After arriving, follow the quest tracker to find an area filled with Venatori Soldiers and Sentinels fighting each other. Defeat all these enemies then inspect the nearby wall of blighted roots.

Defeat the Champion

After examining the blighted roots, enter the open gate to the left and head into the left path to find a chest containing some Imperial Weave, a Large Metal Chunk, and The Warden's Peer Armor for Harding.

Then, follow the opposite route to find a Blight Cyst. Destroying this cyst will trigger a fight with the mini-boss, Sirin the Twice Forged, so prepare accordingly.

After defeating it, pick up the Champion's Essence off its corpse. Then, head back to the blighted roots and use the essence to remove them.
