Dragon Age The Veilguard - Should You Help Minrathos or Treviso

Should you help Minrathous or Treviso in Dragon Age: The Veilguard? See which choice gives the best ending with this guide!

Minrathous or Treviso?

It's Easier to Get the Best Ending with Minrathous

Minrathous or Treviso

We recommend choosing Minrathous over Treviso. Helping Minrathous allows you to get the best ending in Dragon Age: Veilguard much easier since the choice does the least damage to faction strength overall.

The choice appears right after completing "A Warden's Best Friend". It isn't a black-and-white decision, and both choices have positive and negative effects on the story, companion relationships, and faction strength.

Endings Guide

The Consequences of Choosing

Your choice affects three main things:

  • Companion Relationship - Either choice will result in a companion becoming Hardened. If you help Minrathous, Lucanis will be unavailable as a romance option. If you help Treviso, Neve becomes Hardened, but she can still be romanced unlike Lucanis, albeit at a slower pace. The Hardened companion will also be unavailable for a while.
  • Faction Strength and Merchant - You lose faction strength and access to that faction's merchant with either choice. If you help Minrathous, Antivan Crows only loses 100 strength; if you help Treviso, Shadow Dragons loses 250. Faction strength also affects the ending that you get.
  • Quests - Choosing a city locks you out of the other city's side quests, so do as many side quests as you can before getting to this point! The next quest and boss fight also change depending on which city you save.

Minrathous Pros and Cons

If you choose Minrathous, you get the "On Blighted Wings" quest and fight the Seartooth Vyrantus.

What Happens If You Help Treviso

Treviso Pros and Cons

  • Harder to get to the best ending.
  • Lucanis greatly approves.
  • Stay on the Antivan Crows' good side.
  • Treviso is safe.
  • Neve is unavailable for a short time.
  • Romancing Neve becomes slower and more difficult.
  • Lose Shadow Dragon faction strength (-250).
  • Lose access to Shadow Dragon merchant.
  • Minrathous is blighted.

If you choose Treviso, you get the "On Deadly Wings" quest and fight Corius the Ice Talon.

Does Not Lock You Out of the Best Ending

It is still possible to bring up the Shadow Dragon's faction strength to 2 Stars even if you saved Treviso during your playthrough. It will just take some time to do so.
