The choice to fight, trick, or save Solas heavily impacts the final ending of Dragon Age: The Veilguard. See what the outcomes of fighting, tricking, and saving Solas are, and more in this guide!
List of Contents
Choosing to fight, trick, or save Solas directly impacts the final outcome of the story. All three choices will end with Solas bound to the Veil, but how it happens and who survives will be dictated by what the player chooses to do.
| Prompt | |
|---|---|
| Solas: Please, Rook. I do not wish to fight against you. | |
| Choice | Consequence |
| But I want to fight you. Fight Solas and bind him to the Veil. |
・Rook and their companions fight Solas to draw his blood with the dagger. ・Rook and their Companions subdue Solas and bind him to the Veil by force. ・Alternate Ending: Rook and their Companions sacrifice themselves, with Rook dragging Solas into the veil with them. |
| Let's try this your way. Trick Solas with the fake dagger. |
・Solas takes the fake dagger, and uses it to manipulate the Veil. ・The plan backfires onto Solas, and he becomes incapacitated. ・Rook uses the real dagger to bind Solas to the Veil. |
| (Requires Mythal's Essence) You don't have to do this. Use Mythal's Essence and convince Solas to stop. |
・The Inquisitor and Morrigan arrive to speak to Solas. ・Mythal, summoned by Morrigan, releases Solas from her service. ・Solas binds himself to the Veil willingly. ・Alternate Ending: The Inquisitor joins Solas, and both allow themselves to be bound to the Veil. |
Choosing to fight Solas causes Rook and their team to stand against the elf-god one last time, risking their lives to defeat Solas. Together, they are able to overpower him and forcibly bind him to the Veil to stabilize it.
There is an alternate version of this ending wherein no choice is offered, and the party goes directly to fighting Solas.
In this version, the companions are petrified by the elf-god, and Rook sacrifices themselves to get Solas' blood on the dagger to bind him. They are dragged together into the Veil.
Tricking Solas leads to a cutscene where he takes the fake lyrium dagger to use on the Veil. It backfires, rendering him immobile, and vulnerable to the real dagger. Rook cuts him with it, and he is bound to the Veil, with the party living to tell the tale.
If the players collected Mythal's Essence, a third choice appears. There is additional dialogue between the player and Solas, with the Inquisitor and Morrigan appearing in front of them. Morrigan draws forth Mythal to speak.
Mythal releases Solas from her service, and Solas willingly binds himself to the Veil as a form of atonement for everything he has done. Similar to the Trick choice, the party survives in this ending.
Regrets of the Dread Wolf Quest Guide
There is also an alternate version of this ending wherein the Inquisitor joins Solas as he is pulled into the Veil. The two share an intimate moment before saying goodbye to Rook and everyone present.
The choice appears at the end of The Dread Wolf Rises quest, after defeating Elgar'nan, the game's final boss. The choices offered to them will differ based on the player's actions up to this point.
