As you try to track down the Iyrium dagger in The Singing Blade mission in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, you will come to a blocked bridge that you cannot pass. The good news is that there is a way across.

How to get past the blight in The Singing Blade - Dragon Age The Veilguard

The end of the bridge is blocked off with some dark gray blight. That means that the blight is inert and cannot be destroyed. Instead, it will have smaller source blights that need to be found, and when these are destroyed, the main blight will recede.

The first blight we can destroy is to the left of the bridge on the wall, glowing a bright red. Hit with an arrow, spell, or your shield throw, and it will burst. 

Now, walk to the end of the bridge and grab the power crystal from the small pedestal there. The bridge behind you will collapse, and if you look down into the drop that has been revealed, you will see yet another glowing blight.

Destroy this just like the first one, and the main blight will break up, allowing you to move forward. Pop the power crystal into the new pedestal that has been revealed, grab the chest, and it’s time to keep moving forward.
