How To Complete The Snake Nest Deal Quest In Dragon Age: The Veilguard

During your time playing Dragon Age: The Veilguard, you’ll encounter multiple quests that allow you to earn rewards, acquire new equipment, and explore new areas within the game. Each region you explore will feature a set number of characters who require your assistance in completing their quests.

As you progress further into the main story, more quests will become available in all the regions you’ve explored. For example, The Snake Nest Deal is a side quest located in Dock Town during the Signs and Portents main quest. This quest will require you to track down a man called Atticus. This guide will give you a complete walkthrough of this quest.

Investigate The Area

After you pick up the quest, you will need to make your way to the Snake Nest, located east of the quest giver. In this bar, you must investigate the area to find clues about Atticus.

Start by interacting with the book at the edge of the table, then speak to the bartender for any clues.

This is not enough, as you need to investigate further, which is the next step.

Head outside from the bar and go to the ladder there, where you will see a blood trail. Follow it up to the room upstairs.

Just to the left of the bed, on the table, you will find an item that you can interact with, which will provide a clue about what’s going on.

With this new information, head back to the bartender and speak to her.

Investigate The Storage

The bartender will give you access to the Storage Room, located just near the ladder you used. Open the door and make your way inside.

Once inside, interact with the book on the right shelf to reveal a secret room. Here, you will find a lever that you can interact with to open the door leading to the elevator for further investigation in the storage.

Use the elevator to go down, then drop down again. Turn around and attack the wooden barrier to reveal the path.

After that, follow the path until you reach a room where a ritual has taken place.

Before proceeding more, make sure to pick up the Linus Key, which is on the left side near an open book.

With this key, open the door behind the rocks, and inside, you will find a cage with a body inside. Open the cage and interact with it to gather more information about what has been happening here.

Once that’s done, attack the wooden barrier and bash the wooden stick to create a bridge, but before you cross, be sure to pick up one of the keystones nearby.

Use it to unlock the door after crossing the bridge, revealing a portal, but don’t go through yet.

Make your way back to pick up the second keystone, then use the portal, which will take you to the start of the storage area, where you will see a spot where you can place it to reveal a bridge.

Complete The Quest

Now, simply make your way back to Sabrina and interact with her to tell her what happened.

As your reward, you will receive the following:

• 300 Gold
• Increased bonds with your companions
• Increased Shadow Dragon’s Strength
• 5 Fade-Touched Crystals
