Rivain might not boast the most luscious landscape in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, but there’s still plenty of mystery and intrigue lurking beneath the surface, sometimes literally. Under the sand and discarded skeletons lies a buried treasure, along with a haunting undead crew dead set on keeping it safe.

How To Find The Clues During Dead Men Tell Some Tales

Your quest takes you to the Cliff Climb in Rivain while on your hunt for Sharksmouth Mountain.

Follow your marker up a hill, then clean out the mercenaries here so you can speak with the Spirit of Adventure, who spawns once everyone is defeated.

The spirit tells you about a lost treasure nearby and gives you the first clue, which directs you to follow the shark’s maw to the leviathan’s tail.

Per the clue, fast-travel to the beacon closest to your marker in the Tide Flats and approach the spot mentioned in the clue.

When you see the giant leviathan skeleton, head to the tail area and roam around near some large boulders until you trigger the next part.

Once you reach the right spot near some wrecked boats, Undead Pirates will appear and attack you.

Wipe the floor with the Undead Crew here (weak to Necrotic damage, resist Cold) then head to the large rock near the tail to find a second clue.

The second clue reads, “Where the rock stands tall, look for the shortest waterfall.”

Head to your next marker on Dragon Beach and trigger the next group of undead to spawn by walking in the shallow water near the base of the waterfall.

Defeat the group of enemies here by capitalizing on their weakness to Necrotic damage. Then, investigate the third clue at the bottom of the waterfall, near a skeleton leaning against some rocks.

The third clue reads, “My booty’s within reach, you’ll grab it near the beach.”

Sprint as fast as possible to the Winding Shoreline and search near the coast to the south where you’ll see a crescent-shaped pool of water.

Reaching this spot will trigger one more major fight along with a powerful enemy to slay: the Superior Undead Warrior.

This boss is also weak to Necrotic damage, so unload all your abilities on it once its armor is depleted.

Clear out the lesser enemies first, or you’ll risk being overrun by their numbers.

Once the battlefield is clear, you can focus on the Superior Undead Warrior until you finish the fight.

After the battle is over, speak to the Spirit of Adventure one last time and follow your marker to the treasure cave behind it by shimmying through a tight space.
