How to Find All Companions in Dragon Age: The Veilguard

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a new role-playing game from the cult franchise by BioWare, which tells the story of uniting the fragmented Thedas. As in previous parts, the main character is accompanied by companions throughout the entire playthrough. They will help you uncover the secrets of your enemies, share their stories, and assist in saving the world. In this guide, we will tell you how to find all the companions.

Dragon Age: The Veliguard features seven different companions:

All companions join the main character during the main storyline quests. Moreover, the main character can build romantic relationships and flirt with all of them. However, in the end, the game will require you to choose a specific partner. Let's discuss when each character can join the main character's adventures.

No special actions are required: this character will join you during the prologue quest «End of the Beginning».

During battle, Harding uses her bow, capable of stripping all enemy armor in a few seconds. Moreover, as the storyline progresses, she will learn some magical abilities and effectively use them in the heat of battle.

This character joins the main character's adventures similarly to Harding: automatically during the prologue quest «End of the Beginning». Nev uses her magical abilities to slow down, freeze, or apply other similar effects to enemies during battle.

Unlocked during one of the main storyline quests «In the Grasp of Entropy». A bit earlier, in the Eluvian, you will meet the Veil Jumpers: they will tell you about Bellara and send the hero to the forest to find her. The character will be waiting for you there and can join the party after a small cutscene. In battle, Bellara uses her magical abilities related to controlling electrical energy.

After talking to Thea from the «Antivan Crows» in Treviso during the «Sea of Blood» quest, you will immediately encounter Dellamorte, who will join you. In battle, the character uses necromancer magic and dual daggers.

He will become your new companion at the very beginning of the mission «A Warden's Best Friend» along with his faithful griffon. Davrin combines combat skills with unexpected fire attacks, supported by his winged companion.

After talking to Bellara during the «Veil Warden's Completion» quest, a new mission called «Where the Dead Go» will be unlocked. Emmerick will accompany you from the very beginning.

In battle, the character uses stronger necromancer magic than Lucanis. He can summon dead souls to attack enemies or restore allies' health, and he can also command his skeleton assistant Manfred.

While completing the sub-tasks of the «Veil Warden's Completion» quest, talk to Harding to unlock the «Dragon Slayer» mission. Taash will join you for its successful completion.

Able to breathe real dragon fire and use it wisely, Taash will annihilate any enemy. The character also frequently uses his melee weapon «Double Axe».

Each companion has their own storyline consisting of several quests. All of them become available after completing certain storyline missions.

While inside the Lighthouse headquarters, always pay attention to the character icons. If they are glowing yellow, you need to talk to them to receive a new assignment. Note that some initial quests in the questline need to be completed before the «A Veil Warden's Best Friend» storyline mission.

Completing these trials will help you unlock new abilities for companions in battle. For example, Harding will start throwing stones at enemies using magic. At the end of each questline, you will face a serious choice that will determine the further development of your relationship with the character.

Let's look at what each companion's missions are related to.

After the «Singing Blade» mission, talk to the character inside the Lighthouse. Faced with unexpected information that she can control magic, the heroine asks for the main character's help. You will need to help her train in the forest, uncover the secret of her abilities, and learn the mysteries of the dwarves' past, despite all the dangers that arise along the way.

Her quests unlock after completing the «Shadows of Minrathous» quest. Initially, you will need to return to Dock-Town to then act as a private detective and uncover all the secrets of Minrathous.

To get to the truth, gamers will need to explore the surrounding areas, interrogate settlers, and study local newspapers by purchasing them from traders.

Talk to Bellara in her workshop after completing the «Singing Blade» mission. She will intrigue you with her stories about «antiquity» and «some archive».

Trying to deal with unknown artifacts and the mysteries of the ancient forest, you will help Bellara realize her technique and understand important events from the past.

Lucanis will be waiting for you inside the Lighthouse after completing the «Sea of Blood» trial. As you progress, you will learn what happened to the «Antivan Crows» after the dragon attack, why the character does not want to talk about his family and his dark deeds.

Interacting with the forces of the otherworld, you will even need to go to an underwater prison: only then will the master assassin learn the whole truth.

After the «A Veil Warden's Best Friend» mission, head to the base in the Lighthouse to talk to the character. He will tell you about his griffon and their good relationship.

Descending into the forest, you will begin your small adventure to tame the griffon. Finding truffles, learning useful tips from Davrin, and gaining the necessary experience, you will become a true professional. It will all end with a joint hunt for a rather rare local creature.

This character's missions become available for completion a little later after he joins the main hero. Unsurprisingly, they are related to the otherworld: exploring death, life, and the supernatural in northern Thedas. Manfred, Emmerick's faithful assistant, will help you with this. Until the end of the adventures, the characters will need to light candles in the Necropolis, banish spirits, and study ancient knowledge.

Just like Emmerick, her trials become available a little later after her appearance during the main storyline. The character will need to deal with her internal conflicts and learn the secret of her flame. Along with this, players will learn a little more about the history of her people. During this time, Taash will have to deal with her faith, visit ancient ruins, and defeat one of the important dragons.
