How to unlock the Reflections achievement in Dragon Age: The Veilguard - Definitive Guide
If anyone is having problems with this achievement not popping.
****SPOILER****
After much trial and error figured out that this achievement won’t pop if you miss a chest in the last quest at the funeral. It is behind a magic barrier, you have to move the contraption to get it to open and then you will be able to get the chest. Once you finish the quest it should pop.
Hope this helps someone.
The ‘Reflections’ achievement in The Veilguard relates to Bellara, one of your first recruits, and her companion missions. Simply check in with Bellara at the Lighthouse often and you’ll start to trigger a number of events, from conversations and musings, to outings and quests.
You can do these whenever, just so long as you’ve finished the thread by the end of chapter 11 (the point of no return). Even then, 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.
- Echoes of the Past (Outing) - After “Sea of Blood” and “The Smuggler Relic Case,”
- Speak to Bellara after Shades of the Blight and Something Wrong
- Speak to Bellara when After The Storm commences (part 9) to talk about the elf’s past
- The Demon’s Bargain - Speak to Bellara when After The Storm commences (and some time has passed) to start the companion quest.
- Speak to Bellara after completing the main quest Fire and Ice to hear about Bellara’s troubles.
- After some time has passed, speak to Bellara once again to learn about her book she’s writing.
- Speak to Bellara at the Lighthouse after completing the chapter 10 main quest, Unwanted Guests to start Hummingbird’s Lament (conversation).
- Head back to the Lighthouse and speak to Bellara to talk about her brother.
- Through the Shadows (Quest) - Speak to Bellara after The Words of the Wolf in chapter 11 to start.
- Head back to the Lighthouse after finishing Through the Shadows and speak to Bellara.
- The Forest of Spirits (Outing) - Head back to the Lighthouse to unlock this outing, which is when the achievement unlocks at the end.
- Then head back again to talk about her book.
As an aside, some of these achievements have been notably unpredictable to unlock. Belara’s, for instance, took me doing the same quest over and over again (3 times) to get it to finally unlock, so prepare lots of saves in case that happens.
- echoes of the past
- the demons bargain
- hummingbirds lament
- through the shadows
you will unlock Bellaras legendary armor if you speak at the next interaction opportunity at the lighthouse.
I needed one more conversation after that in the lighthouse and a short final mission named "the forest of the spirits" triggered. The achievment unlocks upon finishing the quest. For reference, Bellara was level 9 for me and I finished part 10 of the main story, always doing everything else availabe before progressing the main story.
