Treasure Chests Locations
Treasure Chests are littered throughout Thedas and the Fade in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Containing upgrade materials, equipment, and gold, collecting Treasure Chests is an efficient way to level up your character without spending all your money at shops.
Some treasure chests don't appear on the map, even if you've explored the area they're in. This is because they're blocked by a barrier, found in a secret passage, or appear after completing certain requirements. You'll want to revisit the regions multiple times as you progress through the game.
Treasure chests can also be trapped. Pay attention to the left side of the chest as you go to open it. If there's a green gas coming out, move away after you interact with it. You'll hear ticking counting down how long you have to clear the area. Staying near the Treasure Chest will cause Necrosis upon opening.

This is another treasure chest you can get during Harding's quest, or you can return for it later. To the left of the Shoreside Ruins Beacon is a branch that you can use to cross to the remaining area.
There you'll find a small room with a barrier across it, preventing you from getting the treasure chest. Go to the back of the ruin, where you can use Bellara's ability to disable the barrier.
Contents:

Tattered Bridge Treasure Chest
To reach the treasure chest past the barred entrance on the Tattered Bridge, take the zip line to the ground. Go up the ladder at the end of the passage that goes to the right from your landing spot. At the top go towards the bridge to the left. Remove the power crystal to bring down the barrier.
Slot the power crystal into the node on the left. At the top of the ramp, move the laser so it points towards the device to the right of where it currently points. This activates the other laser.

Shadowy Grove Statue Puzzle Treasure Chest
This is the trickiest of the treasure chests to find. You may have seen the various statues around the Shadowy Grove area of Arlathan Forest, as well as the glowing dragon and wolf statues. If you try to interact with these, however, nothing happens.
To get the statues moving and solve the Shadowy Grove statue puzzle, you need to read the note at the small camp first. The note isn't there originally, you'll need to revisit the grove later in the game to find it. This activates the various statues to rotate. Before completing this puzzle, it should be noted that it does summon a level 45 Bursting Rage Demon before giving up the chest, so you'll want to be prepared.
There are six god statues to move around the Shadowy Grove. You want to have five of them facing towards the glowing wolf statue. You'll know they're in the right position when the gem at the base of the statue glows. There is a statue on the ledge of the Shadowy Grove opposite the chest you find in this area, in case you're wondering there the last one is and completely overlook it like I did.
advertisement
The statue next to the camp (to the left if you're facing the front of it), needs to face the glowing dragon statue.
When the last statue gets moved to the correct position, the rage demon will appear from the dragon statue. It has armor, but no barrier, and is the only demon that's summoned. Upon defeat you're rewarded:
- Crown of Leaves

The first Wisp is found outside the Lighthouse. When you exit, head immediately to the left and take the stairs to the second level. The Wisp is waiting at the top between the statues of Solas and Mythal. Since you have a bit of a way to go with this one, running is the best way to not run out of time and have the Wisp bounce back to its original location.
Run to the music room and have the Wisp inhabit the first altar. The second Wisp is waiting for you in the room. Place it in the right altar. This will activate the door, causing it to open.
Head into the warp tunnel, which takes you upstairs. Go to the pathway to the right, where you’ll find a broken astrolabe. Use Bellara’s ability to fix the device, causing the library to become complete. This discounts all upgrades at the Caretaker’s Workshop.

Activating the door reveals another warp tunnel. This tunnel brings you to the highest part of the Lighthouse, the Watchtower, which contains the first treasure chest. Opening the chest rewards you with a weapon, as well as a valuable item and gold. There’s also a Codex entry to the right of the chest.
Contains:

Lighthouse Treasure Chest 2
To obtain the second treasure chest found in the Lighthouse, you need to activate the laser found at the Watchtower. The power crystal is next to the node, making it easy to power up. Then, you need to charge each of the crystals found at the tops of three buildings around the lighthouse.
When charged, a Wisp will flow down into the lighthouse and activate the last remaining closed door in the library. The first tower is directly in front of the Watchtower, one is off to the right, and the last is off to the left. They can be activated in any order.
Go through the warp tunnels until you’re in the Music Room. Head out into the main area of the library and you’ll see the opposite door is lit up. Getting close to it will cause it to open, bringing you to a small storage area and another warp tunnel.
Head into the tunnel to be teleported to Solas’ den. Inside, you’ll find a Codex entry, materials, a smaller chest, and the treasure chest.

- The Dying Wish - Emmrich Weapon
You can see this chest, high up on a ledge, in the Cascades area of the Necropolis Halls. Reaching it means some climbing. Climb up a ledge, then have Sprite bring out a platform. Jump to it, then jump to the wooden beam on the stone wall. Jump to the next beam, then jump down to the ledge. Jump from this ledge to where the chest is.
Cascades Treasure Chest 2
The door to this chest only opens when you complete the Wisp's puzzle in the room before. Follow the Wisp and light the braziers in the exact order it interacts with them. Even though the braziers on the stairs are close, lighting both at the same time won't solve the puzzle.
