Dragon Age: The Veilguard – How To Find & Enter the Blighted Tree

by

As a seasoned adventurer who’s spent countless hours traversing the dark and mysterious lands of Thedas, I can confidently say that Dragon Age: The Veilguard has never failed to impress me with its intricate narratives and challenging gameplay. The Blighted Tree, nestled in the Heights of Athim, is a testament to this immersive world-building.

In Dragon Age: The Veilguard, characters find themselves in a realm tainted by decay as corruption spreads. The aftermath of the Blight still looms over the landscape and its inhabitants.

As a seasoned gamer, I can tell you that unlike other blight-ridden hindrances scattered throughout this game, the cursed tree demands extra effort from us players due to its unique mechanics. Luckily for us, this guide will walk you through the steps to gain access to the Blighted Tree.

How To Find the Blighted Tree

At Athim’s Heights, you’ll find some unusual scenes, yet none compare to the imposing, corrupt Blighted Tree.

To start, find the location of the Athim Dock. Once there, make your way up through a partially demolished structure, which will lead you to a fighting zone situated beneath a zip line.

Navigating this region might get tricky, but sticking to a specific route will keep you on course. Once you exit the initial structure, veer right past the Fen’Harel Altar for continuity.

Step into the house with a slanted roof and make your way up the right-side staircase made of wood. Upon reaching the top, you’ll find a ladder.

Climb the ladder and head left to find some stone stairs that lead into a narrow passage.

If you turn left once more, you’ll find yourself approaching the final set of wooden steps that lead directly to the trunk of the Blighted Tree.

How To Enter the Blighted Tree

As I step into the ominous presence of the Blighted Tree, I can’t help but notice its unusual resistance to immediate assault compared to other blighted areas. Typically, eliminating nearby cysts would weaken them, but that doesn’t seem to be the case here.

Approaching the tree, it becomes clear that you need to eliminate 50 darkspawn from the Heights of Athim before you can reach its corrupted heart.

The progress of your darkspawn kills is shown by a progress bar, which provides a visual indication of how far along you are.

However, fulfilling this condition can be challenging as it’s unlikely that you’ll find 50 darkspawn in a single visit to the specified area.

You’ll need to take advantage of respawn tactics to get past this.

First, make sure to save your progress and then completely exit the game to the main menu. After that, reload the saved game. This process will typically refresh the darkspawn encounters within the current region.

Instead, occasionally refreshing the game from its current state without exiting may reset these encounters.

An alternative strategy could be to abandon the Crossroads for a while and then return to the Athim Heights at a later time. This change of pace might revitalize your interactions with the darkspawn.

You might want to step away for a bit, then come back, because the darkspawn naturally regenerate over time without needing you to do so.

As a gamer, I’d say, “Employing these strategies should help me rack up the required number to satisfy the Blighted Tree’s demand.

After vanquishing fifty darkspawn, the infected heart of the tree will start to glow. By striking the blight, you’ll clear the way into the tree.

You’ll find a treasure chest containing valuable loot within its hollowed interior.

This could encompass distinctive artifacts such as the Maw of the Black City, a potent ring that amplifies critical damage for all your skills, yet deducts a minor portion of your health in return.
