How to complete The Eternal Hymn side quest in Dragon Age The Veilguard
Unlock the quest
Note: You need to complete the 'Fire and Ice' main quest & 'The Heart of the Titan' companion quest to unlock this mission.
If all the requirements for unlocking the quest are met and you see a yellow mark over Harding's icon on the Map screen, visit her in the Lighthouse to accept The Eternal Hymn quest.
Harding mentions that she is visiting Isana Nagat in Anderfels to meet Stalgard at the mountain and that she wouldn't mind Rook's company.
The quest description reads:
"Harding revisits Isana Negat to make peace with everything that has happened."
Travel to the location
Fast travel to Isana Nagat, located in Anderfels. The place is at the southwest corner of the Thedas.
The Quest
Once you fast-travel to the location, a cutscene will trigger, showing both of them searching for Stalgard.
After gaining control of Rook, go towards the right to find a blocked pathway. Then, use Harding's ability to move those blocks and clear the path before heading straight and climbing up an elevation on the left to open a chest. It will reward you with Weaver's Spool, Fabric Hook, and 68 Gold.
Next, follow The Eternal Hymn quest marker before reaching a majestic door on your left. Head towards it to find a chest that rewards 2 Pure Ore & 2 Flawless Crystal.
Head up the stairs towards the Summit Pathway and use Harding's magic to clear the rubble. Move ahead until you encounter a chest in the right corner of the path to find a Bleeding Shard ring, Plush Rug, and 91 Gold.
After securing the third chest, talk with Harding for a brief respite. Then, go up the stairs, use her to clear the pathway, and follow the quest marker to trigger a cutscene.
The duo meets with Stalgard, who introduces her sister, Durra, a historian. The siblings mention that they want to learn about the Titans, a now-extinct species, from Harding. This overwhelms her and Rook has to calm her down with a dialogue choice:
Harding: "You came here to meet me. To talk ... to... me?"
Choices:
- Are you surprised?
- Now's when you show off.
- Don't look at me.
You can choose a reply of your preference since it won't affect Harding's approval or disapproval.
Harding then shows them her power, playing the Song of the Stone, the music that the dwarves recognize as the Eternal Hymn—Isatunoll. She also finally accepts that while the age of the Titans is gone, they will forever live on in the hearts of their children. After the conversation is complete, Rook and Harding will arrive at the Lighthouse and this marks the end of the quest.
Quest Rewards
The completion of The Eternal Hymn will give you these rewards:
- 500 XP
- Letters of Inquiry (Rare Keepsake for Harding)
- 150 Gold
- Increase everyone's bond.
