In Dragon Age: The Veilguard, players can encounter the choice to have Neve protect or bring hope to Dock Town in the The Returned Cultist Case quest. See the consequences and rewards of protecting or bringing hope to Dock Town here!
List of Contents
Choosing to protect Dock Town gives Neve the Winter's Wrath skill, which increases her critical and ability damage, and the Threader's Plates armor, which allows Neve to make enemies permanently sundered with increased effectiveness.
When used in tandem, the skill and armor heavily increase Neve's damage output, allowing her to quickly defeat enemies with one Detonation, and amplified damage from the Sundered affliction and damage buffs.
List of All Major Choices and Consequences
Prompt | |

Neve: No... |
|
Choice | Consequence |
You bring Dock Town hope. |
・You've convinced Neve that the people of Dock Town need to see her and the hope she represents. ・Neve gains Cold Justice (Veilguard Skill). ・Obtain the Investigator's Robes (Legendary Armor). |
You protect Dock Town. |
・You've convinced Neve that she best serves Dock Town as its shadowy protector. ・Neve gains Winter's Wrath (Veilguard Skill). ・Obtain the Threader's Plates (Legendary Armor). |
Reward | Effect |
---|---|
Cold Justice Veilguard Skill |
・Increases maximum chilled stacks by 1. ・Increases Chilled effectiveness by 2%. ・Increases Frozen duration by 100%. |
Investigator's Robes Legendary Armor |
・Detonations permanently reduce enemies' cold resistance. ・Detonations apply Frozen on enemies whose cold resistance is at zero. |
Choosing to have Neve become a symbol of hope for Dock Town gives her the Cold Justice Veilguard Skill, boosting her ability to apply chilled and frozen. This allows Neve to keep enemies locked down for longer than before.
The player is also rewarded with the Investigator's Robes, which grant Neve's detonations the ability to reduce enemy cold resistance, and freeze them directly if their cold resistance is at zero.
Reward | Effect |
---|---|
Winter's Wrath Veilguard Skill |
・Increases Neve's critical damage by 50% more damage. ・Increases ability damage against Low Health enemies by 25%. ・Decreases ability damage cooldowns by 20%. |
Threader's Plates Legendary Armor |
・Enemies can now only be Detonated once, but remain Sundered. ・Sundered effectiveness increases by 20%. |
If Neve decides to work with the Threads, she instead acquires the Winter's Wrath ability, increasing her critical damage, and giving her other abilities shorter cooldowns and more damage to low-health enemies.
The reward at the end of The Returned Cultist Case becomes the Threader's Plates, which boosts ability damage and causes detonated enemies to remain sundered after detonation (with the caveat of no longer being affected by further detonations).
This choice for Neve happens right before the final boss of her companion quest called The Returned Cultist Case. This is her final companion quest, and she attains Hero of the Veilguard status after completing the quest.
