5 Secret Quests most players will miss in Dragon Age The Veilguard

[@justinpaglia616]

I destroyed the Echo-well but didn’t know you could go back to that big well in the Crossroads. Thanks!

[@TheVeseer]

Btw on the mysterious circles in addition to the post credit scene you get something else with them. During the game when you start hearing Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain through that tree in the cossroads they mention them. Ghil is asking elgar'nan about his dreams and she mentions dreaming about them. She honestly seemed creeped out or worried until Elgar'nan comforted her. Dude Ghilan'nain was creeped out wow

[@thebreadbaron5951]

They eat magic, I’d be worried if I relied 1000% on magic 😂

[@aziraphalesmith]

Oh thank you for the knowledge about the well! Ive found the rest so far but never knew about the second well opened in the crossroads.

[@spiritwolf963]

I often find myself stuck not moving forward with the next mission for fear I'll miss some stuff like you show here so this is a very welcome vid

[@ChristopherCherry02]

Same here

[@angel8fingers]

The game isn’t my bag, but for the people whom enjoy it; good on you! I’m glad for you I’m a Patron here to support a trusted creator. I don’t see why anyone would have a problem with games they don’t like being covered and or liked by a creator they sub to. I for one, am incapable of agreeing with anyone on everything. This I don’t understand when people get bent out of shape over not liking something that someone else does. Grow up, be better and let’s get together as a community and support our boy!

[@landonewts]

Appreciate this comment. There are a lot of games I don’t personally want to play, but I do like to learn about them, and I’m still happy they’re out there for those that do enjoy them. I personally love Veilguard, and am having fun with it. I’m sad for everyone who feels a need to anonymously yell at people for enjoying something. Like, go play a game or something!

[@JKXYGolden]

loving the exploration in this game, but i'm far too much of a completionism addict to not double check to see if i've missed something... and i did in fact miss several things in this video, so thanks for the info!

[@MarikaStarflower]

I did not find Echo demon in the Crossroads and flower puzzle. Thank you!

[@Allaiya.]

I’ll have to go back and get these circles. I know I have at least 1. I probably missed the Arlathan one as I couldn’t figure out how to get over to that damn island lol

[@OData500]

Thanks, Sam! I've been really enjoying my playthrough so far, and manages to find at least some of the candlehops and all of the lighthouse bits available to me so far (up to the first balcony, available just after picking up Davrin) but the rest of this should be very helpful!

[@ThatFont]

I love how Lavendell looks after the flowers grow, especially given how bleak the Hossberg Wetlands are

[@ChristopherCherry02]

I am GAGGED by this! The lighthouse secret quest I barely started in my first playthrough I can’t wait to try it out in my 2nd! Thank you for this video ❤

[@Makoto03]

Thank you for the Veilguard videos. Sorry you have to deal with crybabies upset the game is a success and people are enjoying it.

i very much enjoyed your cyberpunk videos, glad you're making a few on veilguard :D i played all dragon age titles btw and in my mind, the games are different each time.. it is what it is and to me, it was enjoyable.

This is so cool, thank you! I was wondering about those flowers...

[@bernova]

Oh, just what a needed!! I was unsure at the start of this game but it really convinced me!

[@VoraciousRdr]

really grateful/glad I found this especially for the candlehops as for who the group is for the secret ending it's the Executors/Those Across the Sea who've been on circling on the fringes for a while now

[@yeonmirae7816]

I am on my third playthrough and there are many details I love and others I don't. But one of the best thing is when I notice new things like notes updating and creating a kind of banter as you progress through the game or areas I completely forgot existed and didn't explore again with new companions.. XD

[@gentleresonance]

I came across that echo of echo myself just recently and the biggest thing I’m curious about is if we need to talk with ida again after killing it. Cause the voice lines do imply as much so

[@thecursed01]

planning to cover stalker 2? i think there's a lot in bringing all up to speed from the old games, their origins and inspirations, the evan stalker movie (with wendigoon involved) all before even starting with stalker 2 itself

[@SamBram]

I'm definitely gonna give it a go. Need to brush up on all that prior Stalker stuff too though

[@beniborukhov9436]

I feel pretty proud of myself. Got most of these just through poking in every corner. I did miss the one in Hossberg and had to go back after finishing the game once I saw I was missing an achievement. Probably didn't help that the Evka and Antoine quest was the last thing I did in that zone.

[@user-fc3ul2ye2m]

Ohh… I will come back to this video later on. Currently on my first PT and I just want to experience it without knowing things in advance. Thanks.

[@ImmortalPrime]

The ladder to one of the candles in Dock Town comes down when you have the side quest called "Out of Tune".

[@ElenPilgrim]

That blighted tree in the crossroads next to a well also has a hidden quest

[@irishswtpea]

Thanks for the tips!

[@njotosonny]

This game actually good, even tho i dont understand the story but, the combat so good, the map everything is good. Looks like playing the sims 4 with dragon age expansion pack hahaha

[@jessicatreacher6766]

I think the new villains are the Executors.

[@MrMLJ92]

*SLIGHT SPOILERS* The elusive group we see in the end credits are called The Executors. You first see them mentioned in Inquisition through a Wartable Operation in Orlais. I won't say anymore beyond that so as to not spoil anything. Looking forward to seeing how they write them in going forward. Hopefully, we get a direct confrontation with the Executors in future games.

[@yoitsrakel]

if you think “this isn’t a dragon age game” etc you’re just a hater who likes to work hard to have fun because while yes it’s deviated from the tried and true bioware formula, this game is fresh and new whilst keeping the heart of the story imo. these games have ALWAYS been character and narrative-driven, and this game has both. i mean when i’m rushing through missions and not gaf about chests because the quest feels that imperative and time-sensitive, because i’m so in the story, what do you call that? that IS dragon age. PLEASE just let people enjoy things, and stop engaging with things you don’t like.

[@pumpulihaamu]

I agree that people have become very vicious about the game in ways it does not deserve :( everyone should be able to enjoy the game! i played and enjoyed it, but at the same time, I do understand some of the criticism. The previous games have been building up the lore and mystery of the world for years, and I can see why people would find a lot of it could have been executed better in veilguard. I just wish people were more civil in their discussion and (like you said) let people form their own opinions and enjoy it for what it is.

[@ThatFont]

100% agree, it’s serves as a good continuation to Trespasser and stands well on its own

[@locdogsgg9135]

I love this game 🤷‍♂️ while some choices they took make me frown sometimes The gameplay is so much fun

[@OnefortheAges-u1c]

I just subscribed to your channel. I have a bit of a problem. So I reached 3 limit character. Funny thing thing is I haven’t finished the game because I kept loading the beginning, and only played 1 character. Is there a fix to this problematic issue? I’m on console Xbox Series X. One day I’m going OC gaming. But if there is a slight chance this can be fixed or patch, BioWare would have a pint, on me. Have a good.🐉🔆.

[@SamBram]

Is it possible to delete one of the character saves to replace it with a new one? I'm guessing you want one of each of the three available to be a different class. Not sure why there is a cap of 3 tbh...

[@OnefortheAges-u1c]

It is odd. The character I made, I’m actually happy with. Still, It raises the question why limit. I went to EA forums and wow, seems to in theory be an issue. After I’m done with my current play through I’ll delete all saves, auto save and hopefully It will let me play a new game. As it stands if I were to start over, I load where Rook throws some one out and Verric says, Maybe they’ll listen to Bianca. Still, so many characters and people are upset. It’s a fantastic game, hopefully someone or something gets resolved. Thanks.

[@ginacirelli1581]

You can find the wisp in the music room after you recruit Emmrich.

[@animegamergeek1427]

4:45 I was just wandering around & happened upon & defeated Despair Undying. I didn't watch the whole thing (to avoid spoilers), but was there an actual cutscene, or mission giver, to start it that i missed, or it's actually started by just stumbling upon it, as i did?

[@prostheticballerina]

The well in the Crossroads is covered up in my game, even though I completed the first quest! It must be a bug. That is the only one of these "secrets" I didn't figure out myself. :(

[@UlmaAum]

Damn I missed the flower quest :c I found the alcoves and even tried to grab the flowers but since I haven't started to fight the undyind, nothing dropped so I left 🤧🤧🤧

[@bendav93]

Look for blurry lines on your map, that is most often a new area or corridor.

[@markabel9711]

Could the Circle things be the other Fallen Ones? Seemed like they were at war with the main Elven gods in the legends, which would explain why they wanted those 3 out of the picture permanently.

[@kayondomartin2170]

Dont forget the mention of the original Qunari came from another continent running away from something....hmmmmm

[@leonelsantizo5281]

Omg thanks for this video!!

[@DracoRulezU]

Just a question, but is the well still covered up in the Crossroads, even after completing the inital quest, for anyone else?

[@9933arman]

我挺喜歡這游戲🎉 我寧願看多點研究攻略 也不想看到 很多人去攻擊一個游戲 😢

[@nadapoi]

Ok, those I actually found just because I am a notorious explorer. But I cant find all the skeleton memories in the Necropolis and it is driving me crazy 😅

[@williamwatson4354]

I don't see where you're placing the third wisp. And is it outside like the second one?

[@wolfiegonyea5381]

The voice sounds like the demon Spite a lot. Has anyone else noticed this?

[@reathelaw5860]

They're the Executors. They've been talked about a little bit before in some of the dragon age books

[@fatshieldmaiden]

The well in the crossroads is boarded up for me

[@jeffm9770]

Having never played Origins or DA2, I may be way off. But maybe the mysterious group are the other Forgotten Ones?

[@kyarin13]

How did u get the wisp on the inner balcony to spawn as it doesn't show up for me. I have repaired the floating thing inside

I managed to do everything in the game aart from the 2nd part of the well quest 😭...oh well time for another playthrough.

[@Lee-t2o7r]

Despair Undying - I got the flowers first & didn't have to fight anyone.

[@sidra_games4551]

How do you get in that cave with the Azure Bow and flower? It is blocked for me by blight and I can't seem to find any way to remove it.

[@SamBram]

I think you may actually have to complete the grey warden side quests before any of them unlock

[@darkwolf7969]

This is one of my favourite Games now, so glad I pre ordered it. I started crying when the story was done

[@amandaritzau2602]

Are the candle hops available after a non-spoiler situation when the map resets? I'm leaning towards no since I've just run around there and totally forgot the Hops exsisted

[@ivoryecho7322]

They are available after that happens, yes. I did my collection after the reset :D

[@amandaritzau2602]

@ivoryecho7322 dang it I am just not an observant person this just made me worry about how much I was missing I got the first one cuz my character is like ooh what's this I feel like if they don't call it out I'm never going to notice LOL thank you for letting me know how blind I truly am ♡

[@Shadowpack95]

Th only one I didn't know about was the pacifying Despair Undying.

[@Agiselaus]

Guys, don't abandon creators solely because they cover games. If they obviously shill, then of course, that content isn't worth your time. But there's no shilling going on here, just content coverage. I'm as critical of Failguard as anyone, but strict coverage of content isn't the same as IGN or Eurogamer shilling.

[@Kras015]

[@samkon3148]

Yes there are multiple dragon fights

[@foxracing8973]

1:47 So after I did the statues in the lighthouse and went through the portal to the balcony, the other wisp popped up but when I ran back to the other door, it never opened to let me go to the outside. The wisp disappeared and door still never opened! I have gone back to that balcony area several times and the wisp is permanently gone 😭 Did this happen for anyone else?

[@ExtraHecticana]

I saved Treviso, so i couldn't complete the candlehop quest. The door was destroyed.

[@paperbird9817]

I also saved Treviso and I did complete that quest.

You can still access the door if you save Treviso

[@mariozales5971]

I don’t like the set up for DA5, a secret society has been the reason for everything unfolding the way it did. That plot twist usually never works out for franchises.

I don’t believe so. Cause I saved Treviso myself but still found some candlehops. I haven’t completed them all yet but I am going to get around to it.
