To obtain Mythal's Essence, players can choose to either convince or fight Mythal in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. See the outcomes of choosing to convince or fight Mythal, and more in this guide!
List of Contents
The main item that players can obtain from Mythal is Mythal's Essence, which will play a key part in deciding the story's ending. She grants the Essence if players can convince her, which is the most painless way to get it.
Otherwise, she will turn into a difficult boss fight that players will have to take down to get the Essence. Mythal becomes a dragon called Mythal's Retribution, and can pose a more significant challenge for the same reward.
Once obtained, Mythal's Essence will open up a special option during a pivotal dialogue moment with Solas, later on in the story. Using it when prompted will change the ending that the run is headed towards.
Should You Fight, Trick, or Save Solas?
Prompt | |
---|---|
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. |
Choosing to convince Mythal by saying you need her help will cause Mythal to task you with persuading her. She will present a wheel of choices, one of which, is an option to quit altogether and just fight.
The other four are statements that Mythal will question you about, and you will have to answer with something that she finds agreeable in order to win her favor over. Failure to convince her will lead to her fighting the party.
Prompt and Question | Answer |
---|---|
Solas is helping me. Tell me this: What should I have done when Solas turned against me after all we had been to one another? |
Respected him. |
We must stop the blight. And? |
You stood against it. |
We must stop the gods. Yet the world needs rulers. So set the blight aside and tell me why I should help you topple them. |
They wronged you. |
We are worthy. What is a protector to you? |
Building a safe place. |
Above are the best answers to Mythal's four questions. Answering three of them perfectly with the above statements will convince her sooner, and she will grant Mythal's Essence afterwards.
The other option is to fight Mythal directly. Choosing this will jump straight into a boss fight, with Mythal turning into a dragon. Players will have to defeat the dragon in order 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.
