Dragon Age The Veilguard walkthrough: How to complete The Tempered Soul, Everlasting quest
The Tempered Soul, Everlasting quest in Dragon Age The Veilguard tasks you to rescue the Viper found within the Temple of Andraste, and it can be accepted from the Dock Town area. This side quest can only be started after completing a previous quest and involves taking down some enemies and destroying some crystals to free Viper from the clutches of the Venatori.
The quest also involves destroying some crystals that have seemingly trapped Viper within its clutches. Here's a guide on how to complete this side quest in the game.

Tempered Soul, Everlasting quest in Dragon Age The Veilguard
A prerequisite to begin this quest is to complete the Last Rites side quest beforehand. The woman who was saved at the end of that quest will inform Rook about the party of the Viper being held captive, and the same will begin Tempered Soul, Everlasting.
The usual entrances to the temple, however, are sealed off by large impenetrable red barriers. From here, there are two ways to head into the temple. Firstly, head over to Andraste's Watch beacon, near which an explosive barrel can be blown up to create a path to the temple. Otherwise, an alternative route is using a path in Razikale Walk which reveals an opening into the temple.
Head into the main courtyard of the temple, where a large number of enemies guard the trapped Viper. Here, a Venatori Mage and some Venatori soldiers will be ready to launch attacks on the party. Use Cold attacks, which these enemies are vulnerable to. Some more will also spawn as the fight progresses, so take them out as well.
Once all the enemies have been defeated, head over to Viper who is trapped by three red crystals floating in the air. Once all three crystals have been destroyed, do the same for a fourth crystal which sits atop Viper's cage.
Once freed, Viper will express gratitude to Rook and the party. For your efforts, you will receive 400 Gold, +250 to Shadow Dragon Strength, 2 Fade-Touched Silk, and 1000 XP among a bond increase with the party members taken on the mission.
