Dragon Age: The Veilguard finest ending selections

The finest ending for The Veilguard is one the place solely one among your companions will die and you’ll give Solas a redemption arc—higher late than by no means. Earlier than the hunt The Shadowed Solar, be sure you’ve gotten Mythal’s Essence so she may also help you purpose with Solas. You must also have all factions at most energy and all companions develop into a Hero of the Veilguard by finishing their private quests.

Listed here are the alternatives you’ll want to make to get the very best ending to The Veilguard:

• Select Davrin to guide the distraction earlier than the battle in opposition to Ghilan’nain
• Select Bellara to dismantle the magical wards earlier than combating Ghilan’nain
• Have Emmrich help the Veil Jumpers in dismantling the wards in the course of the battle with Elgar’nan
• Have Lucanis assist the Crows kill the Venatori struggle chief within the battle with Elgar’nan
• Have Taash assist the Wardens kill the golem within the battle with Elgar’nan
• Ship Taash to assist defend the barricades with The Inquisitor whilst you climb the tower
• Inform Solas “You don’t have to do this” in your ultimate confrontation with him

Ought to Harding or Davrin lead the distraction?

You must ship Davrin to guide the distraction whereas the remainder of the group hunts for Ghilan’nain in the course of the quest The Shadowed Solar. This is the factor: that is the one assured loss of life in the whole ending. Both Harding or Davrin goes to get ganked by the gods.

There’s no true proper reply right here, however all different issues being principally equal, it makes essentially the most sense for Davrin as a personality to make this sacrifice. As a Gray Warden, he was totally ready to die killing the archdemon at Weisshaupt and was pissed off that he wasn’t in a position to obtain that. He is ready to do what it takes. As for the endings of their private tales, Harding has much more left to find concerning the Titans whereas Davrin was largely in a position to settle a future for the griffons that does not require him, bittersweet as that’s.

Bear in mind that if you happen to’re romancing one of many two of them, this may lock you out of the ultimate romance scene along with your associate that is alleged to happen after this battle. So that may issue into your resolution greater than the bigger character arcs.

Ought to Neve or Bellara dismantle the wards?

You must have Bellara dismantle the wards as a substitute of Neve in the course of the quest The Shadowed Solar. Like the selection between Harding and Davrin, there is no such thing as a precise extra optimum selection right here, and this one happily will not lead to a loss of life so long as they seem to be a Hero of the Veilguard. You’ll lose entry to both Neve or Bellara once they get snatched away by Elgar’nan although.

Once more, I like to recommend choosing Bellara for lore and character causes. You will save your companion from Elgar’nan’s clutches later however the huge second they get to defy him in the course of the ultimate battle feels far more related to Bellara as an elf and makes for a extra emotional payoff.

This resolution can even muck along with your means to see that ultimate romance scene, so take that into consideration. You will not be capable of save your companion till after that ultimate evening on the lighthouse the place you may get to spend the evening with whoever you romanced.

Methods to assign your companions for the ultimate quest

Should you’ve been following my suggestions for the very best ending thus far, it’s best to have all factions at full energy and have gotten all of your companions to “hero of the Veilguard” standing by finishing their private quests. At full energy, you could possibly succeed by inserting your companions in much less optimum positions, however the selections under I’ve verified for success.

When planning out your ultimate mission, here is who to assign to every job to ensure there can be no different character deaths:

• Select Emmrich help the Veil Jumpers with the wards
• Select Lucanis to assist the Crows kill the Venatori struggle chief
• Select Taash assist the Wardens kill the golem

This can go away you with Neve and Harding as your celebration members to battle by the hordes of enemies in your strategy to Elgar’nan.

Slightly later, you may have one other selection of who to ship to assist the Inquisitor and their forces defend the barricades whilst you climb to the ultimate battle. You must ship Taash with them.

What do you have to say to Solas?

After your battle with Elgar’nan, it is time for a ultimate confrontation with Solas. You will get a selection between tricking Solas into binding himself to The Veil or trying to battle him. Should you efficiently acquired Mythal’s essence earlier within the sport, you may have the third possibility of asking Mythal to purpose with Solas. It doesn’t matter what, Solas winds up sure to The Veil to protect it and save the world. It is only a matter of the way you get there.

The finest ending is to inform Solas “You don’t have to do this,” which is just obtainable if you happen to collected Mythal’s essence. Your second dialogue selection would not appear to have any bearing on the ending, so decide as you please. This can summon The Inquisitor, Morrigan, and Mythal to all speak him into doing the suitable factor. That is undoubtedly essentially the most emotional and satisfying ending you may select for Solas.

Selecting to trick Solas by saying “Let’s try this your way” can be a good ending, although rather less emotionally impactful. Solas will acknowledge that Rook managed to outplay him by wits alone. Selecting to battle Solas is unquestionably the worst possibility among the many ‘finest ending’ selections. You will not really enter a fight encounter and it is a a lot shorter ending that simply results in tying Solas to The Veil in a rage with none of the emotional ship offs from different characters.

Worst ending to The Veilguard

What is the worst potential ending for The Veilguard?

Everybody dies. Significantly, just like the worst ending for Mass Impact 2, everybody can die, together with Rook, although you might be nonetheless finally victorious. There are three issues you’ll want to do to make sure this worst final result:

• Have weak energy for each faction
• Full principally no companion quest traces so they don’t seem to be “Heroes of the Veilguard” although the worst ending continues to be potential with one or two relying in your selections
• Select the flawed characters for every task in the course of the battle with Elgar’nan and ensure not one of the characters you assign are Heroes of the Veilguard

If you wish to see this ending assured—and it’s a fairly cool ending to be trustworthy—do the next in the course of the ending quest in Minrathous in opposition to Elgar’nan:

• Ship Taash to assist the Veil Jumpers
• Ship Davrin to assassinate the struggle mage
• Ship Lucanis to battle the golem

When climbing the tower:

• Ship Emmrich to defend the barricade

Whoever was kidnapped earlier—Bellara or Neve—will sacrifice themselves to the blight to free the Dreadwolf and the final two companions with you can be turned to stone by Solas in the course of the ultimate battle. Rook will sacrifice themselves to imprison Solas in The Veil. Faction loss of life smart, the Viper of the Shadow Dragons will die, as will Strife of the Veil Jumpers.

It is price noting that, as talked about earlier, nothing you do in the course of the first ending quest in opposition to Ghilan’nain on the island will change something, aside from who dies whereas combating her, and who sacrifices themselves to the blight later if you happen to’re on monitor for the worst ending.
