Dragon Age: The Veilguard

The 'City of Shadows’ achievement in The Veilguard relates to Neve, one of your OG team, and completing her companion missions. Simply check in with Neve at the Lighthouse as often as you can and you’ll start to trigger a number of events, from conversations to outings and quests.

You can do these whenever, but you need to finish the thread by the end of chapter 11 (the point of no return). Fear not, though, even if you do leave it late, you can get conversations and the like to spawn by just fast-travelling somewhere else and then returning to the Lighthouse.

Below are all the quests, conversations, their rough trigger points and when the achievement unlocks.

• A Study of Dock Town (Outing) - Available after “Shadows of Minrathous.”
• The Cobbled Swan Case (Quest) - Speak to Neve when After The Storm commences to talk about the state of Dock Town and pick up this quest which is also a main quest.
• Speak to Neve when you’ve completed After the Storm to talk about the wisps.
• Speak to Neve sometime after the Cobbled Swan Case and she’ll be outside with Assan.
• Speak to Neve after completing the main quest Fire and Ice to start the Chasing Leads conversation quest.
• A Clear Mind (Outing) - After some time has passed, speak to Neve once again, this time to start this outing quest.
• Head back to the Lighthouse and Neve will be chatting with Emmrich about doing a bit of speaking with the dead.
• Speak to Neve at the Lighthouse after completing the chapter 10 main quest, Unwanted Guests to start Keep a Light On.
• The Returned Cultist Case (Quest) - Speak to Neve after The Words of the Wolf in chapter 11 to start this quest.
• Even before you finish The Returned Cultist Case, you can return to her and see her Lucanis have a personal moment (provided you haven’t romanced Neve, of course).
• Had to finish the main quest, For The Love of Treviso for the last event to pop up. Speak to Neve and Elek to conclude Neve’s companion questline and get the achievement.
