Doing Emmrich Volkarin's companion quests will significantly strengthen your bond with him. Here are all of his quests:
Emmrich attains the Hero of the Veilguard status after completing either the "Heir of the Dead" or "Will and Testament" companion quest. The quest received depends on whether players chose for Emmrich to become a lich or revive Mannfred at the end of the Sacrifice of Souls companion quest.
Do note that you are not required to be in an exclusive relationship with Emmrich for them to be a Hero of the Veilguard!
| Time | Prompt | Choice |
|---|---|---|
| After "House of the Dead" Quest | Especially if he's shown unexpected interest in a new companion? | I do find you dashing. Express romantic interest in Emmrich (Does not commit to a romance). |
| During the "Arrangements" Quest | What would they have wanted me to be? | Never lonely. Commit to an exclusive relationship with Emmrich. |
Once the "House of the Dead" companion quest - available after finishing "The Cobbled Swan Case" main quest - is completed, head back to the Lighthouse and interact with Emmrich.
This interaction prompts the first half of Emmrich's commitment conversation, during which players can choose to express their romantic interest in him.
After expressing romantic interest and finishing the "Fire and Ice" main quest, head back to Emmrich to get the "Arrangements" companion quest, where the second half of Emmrich's commitment conversation gets prompted.
You can buy the Haunted Statuette from the Mourn Watch shop in Necropolis Halls for 60 Gold and 10 Flawless Crystals.
Head to the Lighthouse after purchasing the Haunted Statuette and interact with Emmrich with the Give Gift prompt. He will comment on the gift and the quest will finish.
Emmrich will begin a romance with Strife - leader of the Veil Jumpers - if players finish the former's questlines and do not commit to an exclusive relationship with him. If these conditions are fulfilled, players can witness romantic interactions between the two at the Lighthouse.
