Dragon Age The Veilguard How to Convince Mythal - All Mythal Answers

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!

Should You Convince Mythal?

Convince Mythal for Mythal's Essence

Obtaining Mythal

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?

You Can Still Obtain Mythal's Essence After Fighting Mythal

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.

Defeat Anaris Before Finding Mythal

Telling Mythal About Anaris

If you've completed Bellara's Companion Quest chain, and defeated Anaris in Through the Shadows, Rook can choose to say “We've stopped Anaris.”, as a follow-up to the “We must stop the gods.” prompt.

This will instantly convince Mythal to grant you her help, cutting the rest of the questioning short.

Summary of Choice Outcomes

Choice Consequence

You're not going to help us. ・Rook does not attempt to talk it out with Mythal.
・Mythal transforms into a dragon boss fight.

Say You Want Mythal's Help

Prompts for Convincing Mythal

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.

Prepare to Fight Mythal

Mythal Warning Rook

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.

When Does the Choice Appear?

In the Regrets of the Dread Wolf Quest

Meeting Mythal

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.
