Fight Solas With Rook's Companions

If you choose to fight and your companions are Heroes of the Veilguard, they will survive this encounter, leaving Solas bound to the Veil alone. Otherwise, fighting him with unprepared companions will lead to the bad ending.

Note that this choice can have two outcomes:

• If Companions are Heroes of the Veilguard: Both Rook and the Companions survive
• Otherwise: Rook's remaining companions are petrified, Rook drags Solas into the Veil
