What Lies Dormant is a companion quest for Solas in Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Solas has located a powerful rift in the Hinterlands that has not yet opened. He believes it to be unique and well worth investigating.

Acquisition[]

What Lies Dormant is a sub-quest of Measuring the Veil and Measure Veil Strength. After activating ten Elven Artifacts the war table operation Measure Veil Strength will become available. Once the operation has been completed, this quest automatically triggers.

Walkthrough[]

Go to the cave, labeled Dungeon Entrance, located northwest from the northernmost astrarium, situated in the Hinterlands. Light the veilfire at the entrance and bring it along into the cave, as the cavern is extremely dark. Once inside, head to the last chamber to dispatch all the demons pouring out from the rift. Sealing the rift completes the quest; use the veilfire torch in the same area to reveal one of three tiers of the Frost Rune Schematic.
