All Endings in Dragon Age: The Veilguard and How to Get Them

Key Factors That Affect the Ending

The outcome of the final confrontation in Dragon Age: The Veilguard hinges on several key factors, influencing your choices and shaping the game’s conclusion. These variables determine which of the five distinct endings you’ll encounter.

• Companion Strength (Heroes of the Veilguard): Completing all Companion quests elevates their status, granting them enhanced abilities and increasing their chances of surviving the final battle. This significantly impacts the available options.
• Faction Strength: Progressing through Faction quests strengthens their presence in the final confrontation. A stronger Faction presence can bolster your choices and influence the overall narrative.
• Mythal’s Essence: Obtaining Mythal’s Essence is crucial for some endings. This requires completing the “Regrets of the Dread Wolf” quest, either by defeating or persuading Mythal.
• Past Adventures (Inquisitor’s History): Your character’s past adventures in Dragon Age: Inquisition, specifically, romantic relationships or ties with Solas, influence the available choices and alter the possible game endings.

Ending 5: The Inquisitor Accompanies Solas to Enter the Veil
