Spirits of the Dalish Starting Location¶

Once you’ve reached the main quest Signs and Portents, head over to the Ruins Reach area which is located to the southeast of Arlathan Forest and speak with the spirit on the boat. Unfortunately, it’s distressed and on the verge of transforming into a demon so you’ll need to ease his suffering by discovering what happened to their clan.

Find the Clan’s Mementos¶

You’ll now need to track down five of the clan’s mementos which are scattered around the Arlathan Forest.

Clan’s Memento Location #1¶

The first of the clan’s mementos can be found by heading north from the starting point and going up the first set of stairs, then immediately look to the right to find a bunch of enemies gathered next to a large wolf statue. The toughest opponents here are the ones with the shields. If they have blue shields then you’ll want to create some distance and strike them with your class’s exclusive ranged attack (Rogue: Bow, Warrior: Shield Toss and Mage: Staff). Alternatively, if they have yellow shields then you’ll want to use heavy attacks to strip it down.

Once all of the enemies have been dealt with head over to the southern end of the circle on the minimap to find a corpse holding a halla statuette underneath a rock.

Clan’s Memento Location #2¶

The second clan memento can be found in the Shadow Grove which is reached by making your way down the slope to the east and then heading north. Again, clear out the enemies and then head over to the eastern side of the circle and interact with the Ripped Page. Additionally, make your way over to the southeast of the circle to find The Cost of Harmony Memento and a Gear Chest.

Clan’s Memento Location #3¶

The third clan memento can be found by heading down a narrow pathway to the north of the previous location and then take the first path on the left. Here you’ll want to jump onto the rock at the back of the area and interact with the Blood-Spattered Journal.

Clan’s Memento Location #4¶

The fourth clan memento can be found by returning to the narrow path and heading northeast to the Riverside Ruins. Approach the large glowing light in the sky to trigger an explosion and then enter the now accessible cave and interact with the Neatly Folded Note.

Clan’s Memento Location #5¶

The fifth and final clan memento can be found by continuing to follow the path to the east until you reach the Ancient Aqueduct. Here you’ll want to make your way onto the shipwreck and interact with the burnt corpse.

Spirits of the Dalish Quest Rewards¶

Return to Ruins Reach and speak with the spirit, then head around the corner and utilize Hardings ability to move the rocks and then utilize Bellara’s ability to reveal a portal. Jump through the portal and interact with the table to bring the quest to a close. You’ll be rewarded with 100 Veil Jumpers Strength, Companion Bond Increase and 500 XP.
