How to unlock the A Song from the Stone achievement in Dragon Age: The Veilguard - Definitive Guide
The 'A Song from the Stone’ achievement in The Veilguard relates to Harding, one of your first proper allies, and completing her companion missions, which once you do, turns her into a Hero of the Veilguard. Simply check in with Harding at the Lighthouse as often as you can and you’ll start to trigger a number of events, from musings and chats, 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 if you’ve left it late, you can still 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.
- An Unfamiliar Sense (Outing) - Available after completing Sea of Blood (or presumably The Smuggled Relic Case)
- The Waiting Stone (Quest) - After Shades of the Blight and Something Wrong.
- Speak to Harding when After The Storm commences (and some time has passed) to chat about Solas’ memory.
- Speak to Harding when you’ve completed After the Storm to talk about dreams.
- The Bond Rekindled - Available to start after After the Storm, just need to let some time pass after the last conversation.
- The Heart of the Titan (Quest) - Speak to Harding after Fire and Ice to start the companion quest, which sends you to Isana Negat.
- Later on in the game Harding will be drinking coffee with Lucanis in the dining hall (before the end of chapter 9 though).
- Speak to Harding after The Words of the Wolf in chapter 11 to chat about her experiences.
- You can return to Harding shortly after (or even after the below) to she her and Taash embark on a relationship (provided you romanced neither).
- The Eternal Hymn (Outing) - Finally, Harding wants you to return to Isana Negat where you’ll unlock the achievement at the end.
- an unfamilliar sense
- the waiting stone
- the bond rekindled
- the heart of the titan
you will unlock Hardings legendary armor and you are nearly there. I needed two more conversations in the lighthouse after that and a short final mission named "the eternal hymn" triggered. The achievement unlocks upon finishing the quest. For reference, Harding was level 8 for me and I finished part 10 of the main story, always doing everything else availabe before progressing the main story.
The Eternal Hymn in Chapter 11 is the last quest in this cheevo line.
