Out of Tune is a side quest in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

Acquisition[]

This quest is obtained from the notice board in Wharf Crossing South in Dock Town after completing The Cobbled Swan Case.

Walkthrough[]

Buskers have vanished all over Dock Town. Where have they gone?

Investigate the Cobbled Swan[]

Follow the quest marker south to the Cobbled Swan. Head inside towards the back and investigate the table to the west of the stage. Exit the Cobbled Swan and follow the trail of clues eastwards. Go down the stairs to investigate the broken instrument and read the note next to it.

Search the Lookout[]

Follow the quest marker north-west or fast travel to the Catacombs. Go up the ladder on the docks west of the fast travel point and climb up. Near the campfire is a chest containing a Band of Smoke. Investigate the campfire. Make your way down the cliff towards the body to investigate it. Jump across to the outcropping east of the body and head into the cave to read a note located on a bedroll.

Go to the rooftops[]

Follow the quest marker or fast travel to the Central Market and climb up the ladder by the fast travel beacon. Follow along the rooftop and jump to the next roof. A small group of Venatori are present and need to be fought. Once the Venatori are cleared, continue north and jump to the next roof. Continue around the rooftops into the Warrens and head south, then west to enter The Garden.

Look around The Garden[]

Head inside The Garden bar and investigate the mug on the counter, then speak to Ambrosius. Ambrosius will open the secret passage. Climb down the ladder and speak to the buskers to complete the quest.

Rewards[]

  • 500 XP
  • 100 Shadow Dragons strength
  • Carastes Double-Hat
  • 300 gold
  • 2 Legendary Elfroot
  • Increased bond with party companions

Results[]

One by one, buskers have disappeared in Dock Town. No one knows where they've gone, but odds are they didn't go by choice. Street performers bring music and laughter to Dock Town. If they aren't found, then that goes, too.

Venatori were behind Dock Town's missing buskers—but the show will go on. Once freed from imprisonment, musician Lex Aulos promised to keep performing.

Notable loot[]

During this quest, a secret area behind the bookshelf in the Garden is unlocked. The Artist's Palette memento can be found here along with a small chest containing a Paragon's Knuckle.
