Dragon Age: The Veilguard – Locating the Art Exchange

As part of the Statuary, Fine Art, and Antaam Quest in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, players need to track down the Art Exchange. This task can be tricky if you’re unsure of its location or have yet to come across it. However, once you know what to seek, you should find it easy to locate and complete this quest.

As with previous versions, Dragon Age: The Veilguard offers numerous quests that provide rewards to enhance your character. Whether it’s new gear, experience points, or some currency, each quest steadily progresses you toward becoming an unstoppable force capable of defeating any boss.

The Statuary, Fine Art, and Antaam Quest

Investigating the Antaam’s Activities in Treviso

You can begin this quest after completing A Warden’s Best Friend, but the timing and how you start it depend on your prior choices. You may need to finish some other quests in Treviso first, or you could start it whenever you like. You can find this quest by visiting the Cantori Diamond and reading a note there.

There are two quests that unlock consecutively with the same title, but you can complete both parts quickly if you stay focused. It can be easy to get sidetracked in RPGs, but try to keep your attention on this quest as it is straightforward.

Your objective will be to locate the art gallery and the vendor within, after which you’ll gain access to the gallery. Expect a few minor battles along the way, so be sure your character build is solid before diving in. Eventually, you will learn that the Antaam are hoarding art somewhere, leading you to track them down.

Your search involves tracking down some stolen art and discovering where it’s being exchanged. Fortunately, quest markers will guide you, making it relatively straightforward. If you need additional visuals, check out YouTuber ZaFrostPet‘s video for help with the objectives.

When you begin the encounter with the four Antaam guarding the camp by the water, focus on investigating three specific locations. Each is near groups of barrels: two close to broken roofing sections and the last by a building. While this guidance may seem vague, the spots should be evident, and it won’t take long to inspect all the barrel clusters in the vicinity.

Where to Find the Art Exchange in Dragon Age: The Veilguard

Finding the Stolen Art

Once your investigation is complete but without any further leads, return to the Master Merchant. When you arrive back at the Grande Market, you’ll discover that the merchant is missing, and your next steps will be unclear. Be sure to read the note on the empty stall to find out where to go next.

Your next stop will take you back to a familiar area near the bridge leading to the Dellamorte Estates. There’s also an outpost near the rooftops that should ring a bell. This, which you were unaware of, is the Art Exchange.

You’ll face a significantly larger battle this time, with many more Antaam defending the camp. After defeating them, go to the three statues to find your final note. Once you’ve gathered all necessary information, you can bring it back to Teia and Viago to wrap up this quest. As a reward for discovering the Art Exchange in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, you will receive 200 Gold, 5 Fade-Touched Crystals, 100 Reputation with the Antivan Crows, along with standard XP and strengthened bonds with your companions.
