How to trigger "The Dilemma of the Shadow Barrier" quest
After completing the main quest in Dragon Age: Shadowkeep, you will eventually unlock Davlin as a companion. Complete Davlin's first companion quest, "How to Train a Gryphon," then return to Al Larsen Forest to find the quest "The Dilemma of the Shadow Crosser." Talk to Elio and he will tell you that some Shadowbreakers have been in for a long time and haven't come back.
Go to the marked location in the northeastern part of Al Larsen Forest. Deeper into the forest, you will find several portals, but no trace of the Shadow Breaker. There is a portal calling to you, but the path is blocked. To get there, Rocco must deactivate the relic that caused the disturbance.
Shadow Barrier Breaker Location #1
Go east and use the trunk of the tree to reach the other side. Call upon Hardin's strength to lift the stone and use it as a point of support to reach the higher hills. Close the relic, remove all portals, and return to speak with the Shadowbreaker.
Try to avoid approaching any portals, as they will teleport you to another part of the forest.
Shadow Barrier Breaker Location #2
From the previous location, head east to find a cave blocked by a pile of sand. Calls Asaan to dig up relics, which will trigger an explosion when approached. Enter the cave to find the second dead Shadowbreaker.
Shadow Barrier Breaker Location #3
Continue north, following the blue quest marker until you see a staircase with a floating rock arch on the left. Continue north and climb the stairs to see an area blocked by a blue barrier. Have Belara repair the relic so it creates a barrier and summons a swarm of enemies to attack. Defeat enemies, destroy relics, and speak with the Shadowbreaker.
Shadow Barrier Breaker Location #4
From the previous location, head west until you reach a large arch. Climb the nearby rocks, head north and activate all the explosive traps. Eventually, you'll reach the clearing where the Davlin Companions quest ends. Head up and close the relic on the arch to remove the barrier. Talk to the Shadow Breaker, then return to Elio to claim your reward.
