Each companion has a predetermined <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/e\/468750\">class<\/a>, and is associated with one of the six <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/e\/469867\">factions<\/a> in <em>The Veilguard<\/em>. And yes, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/e\/471892\">romance<\/a> all of them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">At a glance, your companions are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Lace Harding<\/strong>, a dwarf warrior whom you may recognize from <em>Dragon Age: Inquisition<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Neve Gallus<\/strong>, a human mage affiliated with the Shadow Dragons<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bellara Lutare<\/strong>, an elf mage affiliated with the Veil Jumpers<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lucanis Dellamorte<\/strong>, a human rogue affiliated with the Antivan Crows<\/li>\n<li><strong>Davrin<\/strong>, a human warrior affiliated with the Grey Wardens<\/li>\n<li><strong>Emmrich Volkarin<\/strong>, a human mage affiliated with the Mourn Watch<\/li>\n<li><strong>Taash<\/strong>, a Qunari warrior affiliated with the Lords of Fortune<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Scroll through the image gallery above to see each companion. Below, find some details about when in the game you\u2019ll recruit each of them.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"lace-harding\">Lace Harding<\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Lace joins your party automatically during the prologue mission, \u201cThe End of the Beginning.\u201d She remains with you throughout the game. However, if you choose to take Harding when you bring down the statue and stop Solas\u2019 ritual, she\u2019ll suffer injuries and behave differently for the next few missions.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"neve-gallus\">Neve Gallus<\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Neve also joins your party during the \u201cEnd of the Beginning,\u201d and, if you take Neve to stop the ritual instead, she gets injured and alters her attitude toward you for a short time after.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bellara-lutare\">Bellara Lutare<\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">You find Bellara in Arlathan Forest during \u201cIn Entropy\u2019s Grasp,\u201d and she joins you immediately.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"lucanis-dellamorte\">Lucanis Dellamorte<\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Finding Lucanis takes a bit of effort. At a fork in the narrative, you\u2019re given the chance to visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/e\/470287\">Dock Town or Treviso<\/a>. After going to Treviso, you speak with the Crows\u2019 leader, then end up in a rogue mage\u2019s underwater research lab, where the \u201cSea of Blood\u201d quest starts. You\u2019ll find Lucanis partway through the mission, doing rather well for himself against a group of Venatori.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"davrin\">Davrin<\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">After an interval back in Dock Town, you\u2019ll travel to the hinterlands for the mission \u201cA Warden\u2019s Best Friend.\u201d Davrin joins at the start, alongside his adorable griffon friend, Assam.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"emmrich-volkarin\">Emmrich Volkarin<\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Emmrich is your guide to Nevarra\u2019s Necropolis, and he tags along during the \u201cWhere the Dead Must Go\u201d mission. You can also choose \u201cThe Dragon Slayer\u201d instead and recruit Taash first. The mission order doesn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"taash\">Taash<\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Taash is on a mission for the Lords of Fortune in Rivain, one that puts her in conflict with the Antaam in \u201cThe Dragon Slayer\u201d quest. She joins as soon as the mission starts.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-companions-leave-or-die-in-dragon-age-the-veilguard\">Can companions leave or die in Dragon Age: The Veilguard?<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/all-companions-in-dragon-age-the-veilguard-and-how-to-recruit-them-8.jpg\" alt=\"Neve and Taash join the party as companions in Dragon Age Veilguard\" title=\"Neve and Taash join the party as companions in Dragon Age Veilguard\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: BioWare\/Electronic Arts via Polygon\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Characters can die depending on how strong your bond is with each party member, but <em>Veilguard<\/em> makes it plain when they\u2019re in danger. Without spoiling anything, <strong>you don\u2019t have to worry about companions facing mortal harm until <em>much<\/em> later in the game<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">As far as we can tell, companion approval is separate from their bond level. We made several choices that Harding disapproved of in the first few missions and irritated her during conversations, and she still had the highest bond level by the time we\u2019d assembled the entire Veilguard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Completing their faction and personal quests and speaking to them when the time-limited conversation icon pops up next to their location icon at the Lighthouse are solid ways to ensure your bond remains in good shape. Make sure not to ignore companions \u2014 or the ones you like, at any rate \u2014 and don\u2019t worry too much about making the wrong choice during dialogue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">That said, choices you make throughout <em>Veilguard<\/em> will influence your relationship with each companion, and some may leave for a time and come back changed. For example, one early mission tasks you with deciding to save one city over another. The companion with ties to the city you don\u2019t save will be unavailable for the next few missions and comes back \u201chardened.\u201d The hardened state increases the power of their physical attacks, makes them unable to use support abilities, and influences their attitude during conversations with you.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-start-all-companion-quests-in-dragon-age-the-veilguard\">How to start all companion quests in Dragon Age: The Veilguard<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/all-companions-in-dragon-age-the-veilguard-and-how-to-recruit-them-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Every <em>Veilguard<\/em> companion has a lengthy questline. You can tell when a character is ready to chat \u2014 starting their companion quest chain \u2014 by opening the map when you\u2019re at the Lighthouse, your primary hub. If a character\u2019s icon is marked with a yellow exclamation point, talk to them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">While these are technically optional, completing them increases your bond with the companion in question, and you\u2019ll often get gear for them during the quest as well. Some pop up shortly after a companion joins you, but several \u2014 especially those for companions who join you a bit later on \u2014 only show up after you\u2019ve progressed the story further.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Even if you don\u2019t care much for them or plan on using them in battle, it\u2019s worth completing companion quests to unlock their exploration abilities. Harding\u2019s ability, for example, moves stone and makes it possible to reach previously inaccessible areas, and as far as we can tell, you don\u2019t unlock it unless you complete the first part of her companion quest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Every companion questline consists of four or more quests, of which at least two are classified as \u201cOutings.\u201d Outings are smaller, more focused quests where just you and the companion in question complete a specific task, and in addition to increasing their bond level, these Outing quests usually present you with several opportunities to improve your approval rating with that companion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Each companion questline also has one major choice near the end that determines how your companion will handle a serious issue they face, and they also earn different rewards or learn different skills depending on your choice in that moment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">You can also purchase gift items for each companion at merchants in cities with ties to specific companions \u2013 for example, the Warden merchant in the Hossberg Wetlands sells a curio for Davrin. These are logged as quests, but completing them is just a matter of purchasing the item and giving it to the right person. It\u2019s a straightforward task, since the gifts are marked with a companion icon, and you can\u2019t give them to anyone else.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Companions will often give you faction quests as well. In our experience, completing these makes no difference to your bond with a companion, though if you want to max out faction reputation, it\u2019s still worth your time to take these missions on.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"harding-s-companion-quest\">Harding\u2019s companion quest<\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The first part of Harding\u2019s quest is called \u201cAn Unfamiliar Sense.\u201d Speak with Harding at the Lighthouse after retrieving Solas\u2019 dagger from Arlathan Forest during \u201cThe Singing Blade\u201d to add this one to your journal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Harding\u2019s quest centers on how she reacts to her newfound powers after coming into contact with Solas\u2019 lyrium dagger, and it\u2019s tied to a fair bit of dwarven lore as well \u2014 something rarely seen in Dragon Age games.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bellara-s-companion-quest\">Bellara\u2019s companion quest<\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cEchoes of the Past,\u201d Bellara\u2019s quest, also shows up after you complete \u201cThe Singing Blade\u201d and can travel freely to locations on the world map. Speak with Bellara in her workshop to get started.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Bellara\u2019s quest follows her attempts to understand the Archive, the strange, broken spirit you encounter near the start of the game. However, it\u2019s just as much about Bellara learning to understand herself as it is about her relationship with technology and magic.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"neve-s-companion-quest\">Neve\u2019s companion quest<\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">You can begin Neve\u2019s quest after finishing the \u201cShadow of Minrathous\u201d mission. Speak with her in her room at the Lighthouse, and she\u2019ll recommend going back to Dock Town, which adds \u201cA Study of Dock Town\u201d to your journal. This quest becomes unavailable if you don\u2019t complete it before the dragon shows up and if you choose to head to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/e\/470597\">Treviso over Minrathous<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Neve\u2019s quest is essentially a deep dive into the seedy underbelly of Minrathous. It\u2019s like one of her detective stories, only you get to take part in it and learn more about Neve and her difficult past as a result.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"lucanis-companion-quest\">Lucanis\u2019 companion quest<\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cCoffee with the Crows\u201d is Lucanis\u2019 first companion quest, and you can grab it by speaking with him at the Lighthouse after saving him during the \u201cSea of Blood\u201d quest. Like Neve\u2019s companion quest, \u201cCoffee with the Crows\u201d is blocked off if you don\u2019t complete it before the dragon shows up and if you choose to head to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/e\/470597\">Minrathous over Treviso<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Lucanis\u2019 quest explores what happens to the Crows after the dragon attack and uncovers dark secrets at the heart of Lucanis\u2019 past \u2014 and family. Spite, the demon living inside his head, also has a role to play, and as you\u2019d expect from a story about demons and assassins, things get pretty dark.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"davrin-s-companion-quest\">Davrin\u2019s companion quest<\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Davrin\u2019s quest begins with \u201cHow to Train a Griffon,\u201d an outing mission that becomes available after you first speak with him at the Lighthouse once the quest \u201cA Warden\u2019s Best Friend\u201d ends.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Davrin\u2019s quest explores his relationship to Assan and tasks him with deciding the fate of griffons in general viz a viz the Grey Wardens. All this takes place as he hunts the Gloom Howler, the Blighted creature who first appeared during the mission where you meet Davrin.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"emmrich-s-companion-quest\">Emmrich\u2019s companion quest<\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Emmrich\u2019s quest starts with a trip back to Nevarra in the \u201cWalking the Graves\u201d outing. It should become available after you finish the main story quest \u201cWhere the Dead Go,\u201d which is when Emmrich joins you, but you might have to leave the Lighthouse and return a few times to get through an event with him and Harding to receive the first Mourn Watch faction quest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Emmrich\u2019s companion quest is, perhaps unsurprisingly, rather more on the esoteric side of things, and it explores views of life, death, and the nature of existence in northern Thedas. At the center of all this is Manfred, his skeleton assistant, and the lengths Emmrich will go to in order to save him.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"taash-s-companion-quest\">Taash\u2019s companion quest<\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Taash joins you during the Dragon Slayer main story quest, and her first companion quest, \u201cFire on the Sands,\u201d unlocks soon after. As with Emmrich, you may need to get through other events first before Taash broaches the subject of her personal problems. It\u2019s worth the hassle, though, as you\u2019ll get access to the Hall of Valor and Isabela\u2019s fighting arena.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Back to Taash, though. Her quest digs into Qunari culture and identity while also exploring that curious little matter of Taash breathing fire \u2014 generally something most Qunari can\u2019t do.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">For more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/dragon-age-veilguard-guides\"><em>Dragon Age: The Veilguard<\/em> guides<\/a>, see our guides on the best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/e\/468750\">class<\/a> to pick and the best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/e\/469867\">faction<\/a> to join, plus explainers on how to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/e\/471892\">romance<\/a> party members and how to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/e\/470468\">change appearance<\/a>, and a list of all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/e\/472887\">apply and detonate<\/a> combos.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/dragon-age-veilguard-guides\/472083\/companions-all-list-companion-quests-party-members\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Companions are the heart and soul of Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
