Dragon Age: The Veilguard - Should You Convince Or Fight Mythal?

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!

Should You Convince or Fight Mythal?

Convince Mythal for Mythal's Essence

Obtaining Mythal

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.

Obtain Mythal's Essence for Certain Endings

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.

Prompts for Convincing Mythal

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.

List of Answers to Mythal's Questions

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.
