Aelia has taken Dock Town's people. She plans to increase her blood magic. But Neve knows where Aelia's hiding. Time to meet face-to-face. |
Major Quest Objectives |
---|
|
After completing A Clear Mind and progressing through other quests, talk to Neve in the Lighthouse.
After acquiring Keep a Light On, travel to Minrathous. Travel to the Razikale Walk beacon and start the quest. The quest consists purely of dialogue.
In the conversation, you can choose to light an orb yourself if you are a Shadow Dragon. Rana will appear and have information of Aelia's whereabouts, being Sanctum Lusacan.
Head back to the Cobbled Swan in Minrathous, and meet with the team inside. Elek will send someone to get you in the Sanctum Lusacan, and Rana will rendezvous there.
Move along the streets of Minrathous to get to the Thread Market. The main entrance will be sealed by a Venatori barrier.
Investigate the body of Elek's man, the Venatori got to him first. Neve will then lead the way to an alternate entrance into the Market.
Defeat the Venatori that have overrun the Thread Market, and continue pressing forward.
Use Neve's companion ability on the device on the top right of the Condemned Warehouse, and cross the bridge to climb the ladder. Near the top of a ladder is a lever that when turned will open the way forward.
Head through the Nocen Corridor, utilizing the ziplines in the area to go towards the Sanctum Lusacan. There will be Venatori resistance by the entrance, defeat them and continue to the sanctum.
Traverse through the sanctum, where you will encounter more Venatori resistance. Further on will be a Bloodhunting Pride Demon with more Venatori.
In that same room will be a chest found behind Resonant Slabs that can be moved with Harding's Eternal Hymn.
Traverse through Aelia's puppet halls, where the victims of her ritual are being puppeted by her blood magic. Past the halls is the rendezvouz point with Rana and Elek.
Meet the team before heading in to Aelia's ritual chamber, and prepare for the final fight against the Venatori blood mage.
Decision | |
---|---|
Neve: No... | |
Choice | Consequence |
You protect Dock Town. | Neve will be a shadowy protector for Dock Town. |
You bring Dock Town hope. | Neve will be an inspiring hero to Dock Town. |
As you arrive, Neve and Aelia will exchange words and magic, and you have a choice whether you tell Neve to become Dock Town's protector or inspiration.
Calling back to the initial dialogue in A Clear Mind, this choice is permanent, and affects Neve's story trajectory and the Hero of the Veilguard armor and skill rewards.
Should Neve Protect Dock Town or Bring It Hope?
After Neve chooses her role in Dock Town, you must defeat Aelia. Destroy the unprotected red crystals around the arena first to gain an advantage in the fight.
Defeat her henchmen and destroy the crystals for Neve to damage Aelia's Blood Shield, which must be accomplished three (3) times. After the third phase, Aelia will be defeated and the team will return to the Lighthouse.
After completing this quest and finishing the other Shadow Dragons quests around Minrathous, Neve will achieve Hero of the Veilguard status, which affects the game's endings and future quest outcomes.
You will also receive Neve's unique Veilguard skill and Hero Armor.
