The Dragon Age: The Veilguard Lighthouse statues puzzle explained

The Dragon Age Veilguard Lighthouse statues puzzle is actually quite straightforward once you understand it, as it involves finding three pairs of statues and turning them until each duo faces each other. However, rotating them so they meet each others' gaze is only half of the process, as you then need to find the new area this unlocks in Dragon Age The Veilguard so you can claim the rewards stashed within. If you're struggling to track down all of the Dragon Age Veilguard statue puzzle locations so you can turn them, or you want to know where that reward is hiding, then follow our walkthrough below to complete this Lighthouse challenge.

How to solve the Lighthouse statues puzzle in Dragon Age Veilguard

To solve the Lighthouse Statue puzzle in the hub area of Dragon Age Veilguard, you need to find three pairs of statues in the outside courtyard area and turn them to face each other. 

We've got a map showing the locations of each statue pair just below, as well as their intended line of sight marked, which you can correspond to the info below if you need further help.

  1. One statue is on the east side, south of the main church, the other statue up the dead end flight of stairs next to the main building.
  2. The West statue is behind the room that serves as Bellara's residence (though may be unoccupied if you do this puzzle early on), and the other statue is underneath Neve's room.
  3. These two statues are right next to each other - follow the staircase next to the main door North and curve around until you're above the main door. The two statues are beside each other with a small gap between them.

Get all three statues lined up, and Rook will comment that solving the puzzle "did something" as a wisp flies out of the statue. You need to follow this wisp into the Lighthouse itself to find your rewards but it's quite easy to miss, so where should you look?

If you solve the puzzle, it opens the door North of the main meeting room, allowing you to access a small room with several treasure chests and items in it. The full list of rewards is laid out below.

  • "Memories of a Duet" codex entry collectible
  • Approximately 20 Flawless Crystals
  • Approximately 400-600 Gold

Nothing mindblowing, but useful for early adventurers looking to gain an edge, or for those who plan to 100% complete the game and what to get all the rewards unlocked in the lighthouse hub zone. There are plenty of other puzzles to solve across the game too - notably the Dragon Age Veilguard Warden Vault quest, which offers much better rewards compared to this.

If gold is what you're after, you might also have some Dragon Age Veilguard valuables saved up by this point, which you can sell for a nicer sum of gold. Of course, if you want something more substantive in terms of gameplay guides, find out where you can get your Dragon Age Veilguard Deluxe Edition rewards here, or which is the best of the various Dragon Age Veilguard Factions
