Dragon Age: The Veilguard – Sea of Blood Walkthrough

Your journey begins by rescuing Lucanis from his prison cell. After initiating the Sea of Blood quest, your first task is to follow Teia to the bustling marketplace in Treviso. There, you’ll witness a brief cutscene before boarding a boat with Illari that takes you to the Venatori prison.

Upon arrival at the prison, disembark and proceed along the path ahead. To continue, you will need to break through the red barrier obstructing your way. Next, destroy the crystals that are locking the cell door, thus liberating Lucanis, a character you will have the opportunity to develop a romantic relationship with later on.

Once Lucanis is rescued, your next objective is to acquire his vial of blood. However, first, you must confront some Venatori cultists standing in your path. After dispatching them, search their remains to find the key that grants access to the door in front of you. After unlocking it, advance into the next area and eliminate any enemies you encounter. Pay attention to your surroundings; you’ll find a power crystal inside a nearby cell, which is essential for activating a bridge in this location. Don’t forget to utilize Lucanis’ unique ability to create bridges effectively.

Continue your journey down the path, leading you to a new area where you will face a mage. Once he is defeated, destroy any red barriers blocking your path and progress further, utilizing Lucanis’ abilities to take down the enemies emerging along the way. When you reach the Warden’s tower, summon a bridge using Lucanis’ skills to access the upper level and make your way to the blood vault.

Inside the vault, you will encounter several red crystals that are protected by a shielding effect. Carefully trace the path of the red beam of light to identify a crystal without a shield, which you can destroy. Repeat this process for all the crystals to unlock the door that guards Lucanis’ blood vial. Once you retrieve it, make your way to the elevator, which will take you to the rooftop where Calivan awaits.

Calivan, a powerful mage, engages you with projectiles and explosive attacks that inflict area-of-effect (AoE) damage. During the battle, he will also summon a pride demon to complicate the fight.

Despite the chaos, this battle can be managed with relative ease. Focus on dodging the shockwaves to preserve your health. Once you successfully eliminate the pride demon, use Lucanis’ abilities to deal with Calivan’s clones swiftly.

After Calivan is vanquished, converse with Lucanis to wrap up the Sea of Blood quest in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
