Punish Illario or Save Caterina

Punish Illario or Save Caterina

Decision
Lucanis: Contracts are for clients. Call this... an alliance. But on what terms?
Choice Consequence
Punish Illario. You encouraged Lucanis and Spite to focus on stopping Illario, helping them form a more harmonious bond.
Save Caterina. You encouraged Lucanis and Spite to focus on saving Caterina, helping them form a more harmonious bond.

A dialogue with Lucanis will initiate upon entering his cell. A choice will appear where players may choose to encourage Lucanis with either punishing Illario or saving Caterina.

Either choice will not have an impact on the ending or Lucanis' development as Hero of the Veilguard. Feel free to choose which motive you'd like Lucanis to focus on.

Should You Punish Illario or Save Caterina?

Exit the Mindscape

Decision
Viago: What's the matter with the two of you?
Choice Consequence
We're both just fine. Romance Lucanis
We're good now. No approval changes
I was lost in thought. No approval changes
Nothing No approval changes

Upon exiting the mindscape, Teia and Viago will ask about Rook and Lucanis' wellbeing. Selecting "We're both just fine" allows Rook to flirt with Lucanis, in the assumption that they do not have a romance partner yet.

Lucanis Romance and Approval Guide

Lucanis Commitment Conversation

Decision
Lucanis: They won't complain.
Choice Consequence
You're sweet, you know. Commit to an exclusive relationship with Lucanis.
You're too talented. Cut off possible romance with Lucanis.
We don't pay you enough. Cut off possible romance with Lucanis.
Thank you. Cut off possible romance with Lucanis.

After the quest, speak to Lucanis in the Lighthouse to trigger a dialogue. If the players do not have a selected romance partner yet, they are able to commit to Lucanis by selecting the "You're sweet, you know." option. Doing so will lock out Rook from other romance options, and all flirting options not directed at Lucanis will be removed for the rest of the playthrough.
