Can I ask what quest required you to find 10 artifacts? What Lies Dormant hasn't triggered for me either, but I never seemed to get a quest requiring multiple artefacts either.
You have to go to the Hinterlands, and then return to Haven, without having already activated a device, then talk to Solas. He'll initiate the quest then. (This is in regards to the primary quest. Not 'What Lies Dormant". )
- Might it be related to "all new faded for her" not appearing in the list of completed quests? I definitely finished it.

Has there been a fix for this. I am havign the same problem. I can't seem to trigger " What lies dormant" and 'All New Faded For Her" is not showing up in my completed quests journal.
I'm also romancing solas but his tarot card hasn't changed despite me being 'locked' in to the romance.
I wa hoping the new patch would fix this but i see no mention of it in the release notes (nevermind that the patch has BROKEN the graphics). - Anonymous11 years ago
same, i have activitating tons of these and nothing happens. not even approval from him.
I also had this problem. It is possible it isn't "what lies dormant" which is the problem, but a problem with the "measuring the veil" quest which comes before it. My first playthrough had the problem and in a subsequent play through I discovered the "Measuring the Veil" quest ought be tracked as a quest similar to the red lyrium quest from Varric. If this quest isn't tracking properly, it is possible the next phaze isn't triggering when you complete the objectives.
The difference seems to be the order of the interaction with the artifact.
* interact with the artifact first and get in the field explaination from Solas == no quest
* go into the hinterlands, return to Haven and talk to Solas to get the quest, interact with artifact == measuring the veil is tracked
I should note that I have yet to *finish* measuring the veil the second play through to confirm whether I can access "what lies dormant" at the end. I wanted to add this here for those looking into possible reasons why.
I was definitely given the (very first, Hinterlands) quest via Solas/Haven in my last playthrough -- and, in this playthrough, I walked into it and activated the artifact before I ever received a quest. (Both times this quest shows up in my Completed Quests list, and neither time does the Faded for Her show, even though I completed it in both as well.) This subsequent artifact quest has never triggered on either play. Solas was in my party both times. He was in my party through 99% of my first play and I definitely triggered all but possibly one of the artifacts in the game.
- Anonymous11 years agoCan anyone confirm that getting the quest from Solas before doing it works as a fix? Because it's not working at all for me. What lies dormant won't trigger, his romance wont progress and i've spent 60+ hours on this one playthrough. Kind of bummed.

Nearing the end of a second playthrough and both times I never saw this quest. I just went back to check and indeed, on both playthroughs the "All New, Faded For Her" quest is not present under completed quests. In both games I started the Measuring the Veil/artifact quest through Solas, and in both games it completed after the first artifact.
My first playthrough was a female human mage.
Current playthrough is a female elf warrior romancing him.
Neither received this quest at any point and I talked to all my companions religiously every time I returned to Skyhold.
This is pretty disappointing, since my current playthrough is my Solas romance one and what I thought would be my main save. Heck I didn't even know this quest existed until I saw it on the other forums. Any chance of a fix for this at all? Or some idea how to absolutely avoid it happening? It's important enough to me that I would consider losing 60 hours of playtime to revert to a save before All New, Faded. For Her to see that she can get the quest. But I won't be happy about it.
You can actually progress and complete the romance without doing What Lies Dormant or the artifacts quest, if that helps your decision at all.
