Embarking on an epic journey through the captivating world of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, you’ll encounter countless quests and diversions that promise thrilling rewards, enriching your experience with captivating storylines, powerful gear, and coveted Trophies. However, not every quest will contribute to unlocking the game’s true ending. To unveil the complete narrative, you must follow a specific path, making critical choices at crucial moments. Fear not, for this comprehensive guide will guide you through each step, ensuring you experience the full breadth of Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s captivating story.
Unveiling the True Ending: A Step-by-Step Guide
To witness the true ending of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, you must fulfill two essential requirements before reaching the point of no return, marked by the commencement of the story mission, ‘When Plans Align’.
Step 1: The Dread Wolf’s Regrets
Your journey begins with completing the sidequest, ‘Regrets of the Dread Wolf’, which involves gathering six memories of Solas, a pivotal figure during his rebellion. Two memories are provided during the main storyline, but the remaining four are easily missed.
Step 2: Crossroads of Memories
All four missing memories are located within the Crossroads, marked on your map as long as the quest remains active. However, certain memories become accessible only after reaching specific points in the main story, making it impossible to complete this quest immediately upon arriving at the Crossroads. Three memories are guarded behind gates that unlock only after defeating their respective Champions in different regions of the world. These Champions are tied to the subquests, ‘Gate of Lost Ages’, ‘Gate of Faded Flories’, and ‘Gate of Deep Sorrows’.
Step 3: The Voice of Mythral
Once you have discovered and viewed all of Solas’s memories, you will be guided to converse with a fragment of Mythral in the Crossroads. During this crucial dialogue, make sure to select the following options:
* I want your help
* We must stop the blight
* You stood against it
* We must stop the gods
* They wronged you
* We are worthy
* Building a safe place
By choosing these options, you will earn Mythal’s Light and avoid a confrontation with her.
Step 4: Mysterious Circles: A Quest Across Thedas
Now, embark on a quest to locate three Mysterious Circles scattered throughout Thedas. The first circle awaits in the Arlathan Forest, specifically at the Waterfront Glades. To access it, you must solve a puzzle involving directing beams of light towards a crystal on an island, ultimately forming a bridge. The island’s location is indicated on your map.
Step 5: Guardian of the Circle
A miniboss will be waiting for you at the circle’s location, so prepare yourself for a challenging encounter. Once you have defeated it, interact with the Mysterious Circle floating near the pillar to hear a vital dialogue.
Step 6: Necropolis Halls: A Journey Through the Past
The second circle is hidden within the Necropolis Halls, but it’s only accessible after completing Emmrich’s first companion quest, ‘Restless Spirits’, and the sidequest, ‘Pinnacle of Its Kind’. The circle can be found on the left side of the room where you fought the formidable dragon, The Formless One.
Step 7: The Heart of Corruption
The final circle resides back in the Crossroads, at the end of the quest, ‘The Heart of Corruption’. Follow the waypoints and overcome any obstacles, including powerful bosses, to reach the circle.
Step 8: Revenant Dragon’s Arena
Once you have completed the quest, return to the arena where you fought the Revenant Dragon. Climb the path on the left side to claim the final circle.
Step 9: The True Ending Unveiled
With all three Mysterious Circles in your possession, simply finish the game or replay the ending. After the credits roll, an extra, secret scene will play, revealing the true ending of Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
