Branching story paths have always been a hallmark of Bioware games like Dragon Age and Mass Effect, and Dragon Age: The Veilguard is no exception. One of these player decisions can lead to a missable quest as well as its associated Achievement/Trophy ‘The Soul Of A City’.

This guide is all about how to unlock the missable Achievement/Trophy ‘The Soul Of A City’.

Point Of No Return

In order to even unlock the quest, it is necessary to elect to save Minrathous over Treviso, by agreeing to aid Neve and the Shadow Dragons. This choice is presented at the conclusion of the main quest ‘A Warden’s Best Friend’.

Ideally you will manually reserve a save before this happens, as the game will not do so automatically.

Shadow Dragons Faction Strength

In preparation for getting this trophy, work on maximizing the Faction Strength of the Shadow Dragons to the full three stars or 3200 points. This is best achieved by trading with the faction merchant. Since the very existence of the shop is based on saving Dock Town and Minrathous, try to grind this out as early as possible.

Shadow Dragons Side Quests

This series of side quests involves helping the Shadow Dragons in Dock Town, after aiding Minrathous with the High Dragon Seartooth Vyrantus.

The ‘Soul Of A City’ quest is only available if Minrathous is saved, as that is the city to which the similarly named Achievement/Trophy refers. After beating back Seartooth Vyrantus, head on over to the Safehouse in Dock Town and speak with Maevaris and Dorian. At the conclusion of the conversation the quest will be acquired automatically.

Track and speak with Dorian again to continue the investigation to its conclusion.

Next up is ‘In Memoriam’ which you can unlock by exploring Razikale Walk. Investigate the kneeling corpse impaled by a sword to trigger combat with Despondence. Vanquish the summoned enemies and then speak with the corpse’s spirit named Compassion. At the conclusion of the conversation the quest will be acquired automatically.

The remaining side quests are:

  • Rituals For The Risen
  • Cornered In The Catacombs
  • Out Of Tune
  • Mercenary Intent
  • A Hidden Hoard
  • The Snake Nest Deal
  • Desperate In Dock Town
  • Last Rites
  • The Tempered Soul, Everlasting

Soul Of A City Achievement/Trophy

“Aided the Shadow Dragons in their fight to reveal the corrupted soul of Minrathous.”

The Achivement/Trophy should unlock if you have achieved both the maximum Faction Strength for the Shadow Dragons, as well as completed all the side quests in Dock Town.

That is how to unlock the missable Achievement/Trophy ‘The Soul Of A City’ in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
