Of all the collectibles in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, two of them are harder to get than most others: Evanuris Altars and Fen'Harel Altars. However, the rewards are worth the effort: Evanuris statues give you +100 health each, and Fen'Harel statues give you a free skill point.
Each time you encounter a Fen'Harel statue, it'll point in a specific direction, and a wolf statuette will appear in the direction it's pointing. Collecting this statuette will give you a skill point. There are 15 Fen'Harel Altars throughout the exploration areas of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, so read on to learn where they are.

This guide for Dragon Age: The Veilguard brings together all of The Best War Games's helpful posts for the game.
The Crossroads
You can encounter this statue on your first trip to the Crossroads. After you defeat the gods' champion, take the path that leads up instead of down. The statuette is on a ledge north of the altar.
The next Fen'Harel statue you can unlock is in the Converged City area, behind the Gate of Lost Ages. In the second area you have to reach by climbing a ladder, the statue is below the rightmost snake head. To reach the statuette, you'll need to climb a second ladder, use Spite's Reach to create a set of platforms to the east, and then jump across to reach the ledge where the statuette is waiting.
The third Dread Wolf Altar is in the Heights of Athim. From the dock, climb up through the ruined building to the open area at the base of the cliff. Turn right, and you'll see the Fen'Harel statue behind the griffon statue. The statuette it points to is on top of the cliff, to the right of where the nearby zipline takes you.
Another Heights of Athim statue is up next to the blighted tree. It's next to the wall to the left. The statuette it points to is in the village below, on the same platform as the zipline.
The last Crossroads Fen'Harel statue is back in Elvhenan's Haven. Once you open the Gate of Faded Glories, head down the ramp to the north. After you walk through the archway, turn right and jump down the platforms. They lead around to the Dread Wolf statue. It points to a statuette on the island to the north, which sits on the ledge between the second and third owl statues.
Arlathan Forest
The first Dread Wolf statue in Arlathan is in the Mystical Tower, at the top of the vertical ruins in the northwest corner of the region. Simply walk through the open doorway to the south to find it. The statuette is on a pedestal back in the Jagged Ruins, below the floating stone platforms.
Another Fen'Harel statue is in the Tainted Woods, the northeast area of Arlathan. You'll need to climb some platforms along the east edge of the area, and the statue is in a half-collapsed room. To reach its statuette, turn left as you exit the room and hug the stone wall. The statuette will appear on a dias that's straight ahead.
The third Fen'Harel Altar is in the Nameless Building, in a shortcut that connects the Shoreside Courtyard to the Shadowy Grove. You'll need to start the side quest "Loyal Friends" to open this shortcut. To collect the statuette, go to the Shoreside Courtyard, climb up the platforms, and go to the northern edge of the higher level.
Treviso
The one-and-only Treviso statue is in the Heart and Central area, just south of the Dellamorte Estates. To find it, head east through the market, cross the canal, and then turn right when you reach the garden. The statuette is to the north, behind some breakable crates in an alcove surrounded by pillars.
Hossberg Wetlands
This Fen'Harel Altar is in the Flooded Farmlands, the area to the east of Lavendel and the Warden camp where "Only an Echo" takes place. Check the water behind the building in the southeast corner. The statuette is on the roof of a small shack due east of the southeast building. You'll need to raise a stone platform to get onto the roof.
The second Hossberg Dread Wolf statue is in the Lost Village area, south of Lavendel. From the north entrance, hug the right wall and you should eventually come across it. To get the statuette, you'll need to get into the ruined building directly south of the altar.
Dock Town (Minrathous)
This Fen'Harel statue is in Andraste's Watch, standing above an old mine at the north edge of the map. The statuette it points to is at the bottom of the mine, in the center of a large dias. You'll need to fight your way through undead enemies and get the elevator working to get back up.
The second Dread Wolf Altar is in The Seclusion, the area where you and Neve fought Bataris during "The Smuggled Relic Case." Go south from the boss arena and solve a simple puzzle to unlock access to this statue. The statuette you need to find is on a small dias you'll reach if you run across the magic bridge that's straight ahead.
Rivain Coast
The first Rivain Coast Fen'Harel statue is close to the region's Eluvian. After you cross the stream and descend the stairs, there's a stone platform you can extend to your right. The Dread Wolf is up the stairs in the southwest corner of the building. The statuette it points to is by the southwest corner of the beach below.
The other Dread Wolf Altar is in the Clifftops area. To reach it, you'll need to climb a cliff that's just northeast of the large building in this area. There's a large chest halfway up this climb. You can collect its statuette by heading over to the waterfall in the northwest corner of the Clifftops.
