How to end a Solas fight in Dragon Age The Veilguard?

In the fight where Solas ends, you and your party members engage in a minor scuffle with Solas to forcibly bind him to the Veil. Solas’ worst side is shown here; While he sees himself as a god, he calls you an ordinary mortal.

To end Solas’ fight, choose “But I want to fight you” if given the option. This is also the default ending that doesn’t require any extra work if you’re on your way to getting the bad ending. However, the bad ending did not go well for the team…

The ‘good’ variation of this ending occurs when you have the choice between “But I want to fight you” and “Let’s try it your way”, and the choice occurs if you have enough friends who are Heroes of the Veilguard. and you have a good amount of Power in all Factions. We achieved this with three stars for Antivan Crows and Veil Jumpers, and two stars for the other Factions; and all our comrades were Heroes of the Guardians of the Veil.

Be sure to choose party members who are Veilguard Heroes to ensure your team survives the fight against Solas. However, keep in mind that this won’t matter if you’re heading towards the bad ending, because no matter what happens here, your friends will die and Rook won’t be able to have a good time either.

How to get Solas ending trick in Dragon Age The Veilguard

The trick at the end of Sola shows you giving the Dread Wolf a taste of his own deceptive medicine, giving him a fake lyrium dagger instead of the real one, and then using the real one to forcibly bind him to the Veil. This is a rather poetic way of besting Solas, and he even admits that he “taught you well” and has finally found his match.

To end the Solas cheat, select “Let’s try it your way” when given the option. Just like the good variety in the Sola ending, you need to have enough friends who are Heroes of the Veilguard and have a good amount of Group Power in all Groups.

We managed to achieve this ending with three stars for Antivan Crows and Veil Jumpers and two stars for the other Factions; and all our companions were Heroes of the Veilguard.

How to get Solas ending in Dragon Age The Veilguard?

We see Solas’ redeemed ending as the ‘best’ default ending, as Solas chooses to do the right thing and bind himself to the Veil, thanks to the conversation Morrigan initiated between Solas and a fragment of Mythal. If you made a female elf Inquisitor who had a romance with Solas Dragon Age: Inquisitionthen he will probably join Solas in the Veil forever. Is this… sweet?

To use Solas’ ending, select ‘Other’ in the dialogue wheel and then select “You don’t have to do this.” This option appears only if you have completed the following actions: Dreadwolf’s regrets side quest. For help unlocking secret ending You must also convince Mythal to give you his essence. correct Mythal answers for finally helping you in a fight instead of fighting him Heart of Corruption Side quest if you don’t fight him.

How to get the worst ending in Dragon Age The Veilguard

Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s worst ending occurs at the end of the game, when all your friends are dead and Rook is bonded to Solas and the Veil. You don’t have the option to trick Solas or save him, as your rook automatically tries to fight Solas instead. Bellara or Neve will die in Blight Tentacles, and two of your party members will be petrified and killed by Solas while helping Rook fight him.

To get to the worst ending, you have to go back in time. point of no return As a Veilguard Hero, he has almost no friends and very little Group Power. Preferably, you should have no companions as a Veilguard Hero and have a Power star in all Factions. However, we managed to get to the bad ending with three stars of the Force as the Guardian of the Veil Hero (Taash and Harding) with two companions and a Faction, but most of the others were only at a single star.
