Located along the southeastern edge of the Hossberg Wetlands, Gaspin Manor is a bustling area packed with treasure-filled chests, engaging side quests like An Academic Interest and Gate of Pale Reflections, and complex challenges. Among its standout features is a combined statue-and-wisp puzzle, the key to unlocking the gate leading south to Solitude’s Edge, a mysterious swampy region. While it’s possible to bypass this gate by taking a longer route, tackling the Gaspin Manor Statues and Wisp Puzzle Solution is a quicker and more rewarding option. For those aiming to fully complete this area, this guide outlines all the steps necessary to solve the puzzles in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
Finding Gaspin Manor
To locate Gaspin Manor, head south from Grey Hold, the northern entry point of the Hossberg Wetlands. Continue south, veering east whenever possible. Along the way, you’ll pass key landmarks such as the village of Lavendel, the Blighted Tunnel, the Old Crossroads, and the Cavernous Tunnels. Be aware that if you take a southwest path at the Old Crossroads, you’ll reach the Blighted Grove. From there, traveling southeast will lead you to Solitude’s Edge, bypassing the gate at Gaspin Manor. However, unlocking the gate through the puzzle ensures you don’t miss out on valuable treasures.
How to solve Gaspin Manor Statues and Wisp Puzzle in Dragon Age The Veilguard?
Clearing Enemies
Begin by eliminating any foes around Gaspin Manor. Depending on your progress in the quest An Academic Interest, you might encounter Venatori or Shades. Additionally, you’ll notice crystals scattered around the manor grounds. While not directly tied to the puzzle, these can be destroyed to prevent interference.
Rotatable Statues and Braziers
Once the area is clear, focus on the puzzle. There are three rotatable statues and three unlit braziers scattered across the grounds:
1. Statues
- Northern Statue: Located in the northern corner of the grounds.
- Eastern Statue: Found in the eastern corner.
- Central Statue: Positioned near the stairs in the center of the area.
2. Braziers
- One is southeast of the central statue, along a stone railing by a cliff.
- Another is northwest of the eastern statue, near stairs leading back to the Cavernous Tunnels.
- The third is southwest of the northern statue, atop the ruins of a building.
Statue Alignment
Rotate each statue to face its corresponding brazier to light it. The correct orientations are:
- Northern Statue: Face southwest.
- Eastern Statue: Face northwest.
- Central Statue: Face southeast.
Once all braziers are lit, a door on the southeastern edge of the manor grounds opens, revealing a building. Head there to proceed to the wisp puzzle.
Solving the Wisp Puzzle
Inside the newly opened building, you’ll find a chest and a wisp. Before approaching the wisp, identify its destination. Head to the southwestern section of the manor grounds to locate a gated doorway. This gate lies near a smaller staircase leading to the manor and is adjacent to a boarded doorway containing a chest and the Ring of the Warden Royal Memento.
Through the gate, you’ll spot a skeleton near a lever. Return to the wisp, approach it to lure it toward you, and guide it to the gate. The wisp will possess the skeleton and activate the lever, unlocking the gate to Solitude’s Edge.
What’s Next?
With the gate unlocked, you can explore Solitude’s Edge or return to complete tasks like An Academic Interest. Don’t forget to loot Gaspin Manor for valuable rewards!
