Dragon Age: The Veilguard throws plenty of puzzles your way, each with unique challenges and rewards.
One example is the Dellamorte Estates Puzzle, which players must solve to uncover hidden treasures. This article explains how to solve it.
How To Solve the Dellamorte Estates Puzzle
Start by making your way to Treviso, where Dellamorte Estates is located in the city's northern area.

If not, you can just head north from the Grande Market beacon to reach the Heart and Central area.
As you journey, you’ll pass through alleys, cross bridges, and encounter several groups of Antaam soldiers.
Taking down these enemies gives some bonus EXP and boosts Lucanis' bond if he's in your party.
Head east and look for the gravel trail lined with trees. Going north will take you to the Dellamorte Estates courtyard, where the statue puzzle is located.
The puzzle at Dellamorte Estates is set in a garden full of statues. The goal is to position four statues to face specific directions, which will open the gate to the north of the courtyard.
The statues link up with Veil Instabilities, giving you a clue on how to line them up.
Unlock the clues using Lucanis' Spite’s Reach near the Veil Instabilities. This ability summons ghostly versions of each statue, each facing the direction the actual statues should align with.
Every statue in the garden should be rotated to face the same direction as its ghostly counterpart.
Here’s how to find and align each one:
- Western Statue: This statue is situated near the canal's western edge. After setting off the nearby Veil Instability with Spite’s Reach, you’ll see that this statue needs to face northeast.
- Northwestern Statue: The statue near the gate in the northwest corner should face east after using Spite’s Reach to reveal its direction.
- Northeastern Statue: This statue stands on a slightly elevated platform in the northeast corner. Climb the nearby stairs, activate Spite’s Reach, and adjust this statue to face west.
- Eastern Statue: The final statue is behind a locked gate on the eastern side of the courtyard. You'll need to locate and trigger three separate levers in the garden courtyard to access it. The levers are hidden behind statues of winged creatures scattered throughout the area. Activate Spite’s Reach on the Veil Instabilities by the winged statues to create hand-like platforms for reaching the levers. Some levers are accessible by jumping, but higher ones require the platforms from Spite’s Reach. After unlocking the gate, use Spite’s Reach on the statue’s Veil Instability to show that it needs to face northwest.
When all four statues are positioned correctly, the northern gate in the Dellamorte Estates courtyard will open.
Walk through this gate to discover a treasure room filled with valuable loot, including Jenny’s Belt.
This one-of-a-kind item increases your character’s abilities, releasing a “Bees!” effect on enemies nearby each time a healing potion is activated.
