Dragon Age The Veilguard The Magic of the Ancients Quest Guide

The Magic of the Ancients quest can be cleared by solving the puzzle in the Jagged Ruins area in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. See this guide for quest information, objectives, and puzzle solutions!

The Magic of the Ancients Objectives

Repair the Crystals in the Jagged Ruins

You will need to repair a total of three charging crystals to help repair the main artifact. These charging crystals are located in the area, and can be found and repaired in one go.

Step Instructions
1. Make your way up the winding road until you reach a staircase. Instead of going up the staircase, keep following the dirt road to find and repair the first crystal.
2. Climb the staircase you passed by before and go up until you reach the zipline. Don't use the zipline yet but instead repair the broken device near the statues to the right.
3. Ride the zipline across and walk toward the magic beam tower. You will find the second crystal to your right.
4. Aim the magic beam toward the broken device you repaired in step 2.
5. From the magic beam, jump onto the floating rocks and make your way toward the bridge. Jump onto the bridge and head left. The third crystal is there alongside a chest.

Repair the Artifact

Repair the Artifact
After repairing all three crystals, head back to the original artifact at the bottom of the area. You can either walk down the path you followed, or teleport to the teleporter at the bottom.

Once you get there, repair the giant artifact, and the quest will be completed.
