This guide explains how to convince Mythal during Rook's conversation with them to obtain Mythal's Essence in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. See the best answers to Mythal's questions here!
List of Contents
We recommend convincing Mythal to get the item called Mythal's Essence much faster. Mythal's Essence will open up a special option during a pivotal conversation with Solas later in the story. Using it when prompted will change the ending for the playthrough.
Should You Fight, Trick, or Save Solas?
Do note that you can still get Mythal's Essence after defeating Mythal in her dragon form. This method poses a more significant challenge, so it is not recommended.

To convince Mythal, you should ideally pick all the best answers listed above or at least two of the best answers and okay choices.
Make sure not to pick the bad answers since you will instantly start the fight against Mythal!

 Mythal: Or do you simply think yourself ready to fight a god? |

| Choice | Consequence |
| I want your help. |
・Rook attempts to convince Mythal to lend her aid. ・Mythal will present the player with four prompts to answer. |
| You're not going to help us. |
・Rook does not attempt to talk it out with Mythal. ・Mythal transforms into a dragon boss fight. |
During the conversation, choosing to convince Mythal by stating you need her help will lead to a wheel of dialogue choices, one of which is an option to quit convincing her and just fight.
The other four options are statements that Mythal will question Rook about, and players will have to answer with something that she finds agreeable to win her over and obtain her essense. Otherwise, failing to convince her will lead to a fairly difficult boss fight.
The other option is to fight Mythal immediately. Choosing this option leads into a boss fight, with Mythal turning into a dragon. Players must defear her in her dragon form to get Mythal's Essence.
The choice to convince or fight Mythal appears during the Regrets of the Dread Wolf quest.
Obtaining this quest requires several prior steps, such as collecting six wolf statuettes, placing these inside the Lighthouse, and learning more about Solas' past.

When choosing “We are worthy…” and asked “what is a protector to you?”, I noticed in my different gameplays that: 1. Nerve as protector of Dock Town 2. Bellara defeating Anaris Can short circuit the conversation and have Mythal agree immediately. I can’t tell if it works with other companions depending on their personal quest progression and choices.
