Endings[]
There are several different endings available depending on Rook's level of preparedness, whether they completed Regrets of the Dread Wolf and acquired Mythal's essence, and whether the Inquisitor romanced Solas and what dialogue option was chosen during Rook and the Inquisitor's second meeting.
1. Convince Solas
Choose "You don't have to do this." (Use Mythal's essence and convince Solas to stop)
If Rook acquired Mythal's essence, they can convince Solas to abandon his plan and voluntarily bind himself to maintain the Veil. Regardless of which dialogue option Rook picks after this first choice, Solas will initially refuse, stating that doing so would dishonor those he has wronged to get to this point. If the Inquisitor vowed to redeem Solas, they will appear at this point, asking Solas to stop once again. Solas will refuse one more time. At this point, Morrigan appears, and brings forth Mythal's essence from the statuette. Mythal tells Solas that he alone should not bear the burden of their decisions, and that she releases him from her service. At this point, Solas agrees to bind himself to maintain the Veil, slicing his hand open with the dagger, and walks into the Fade.
- If the Inquisitor romanced Solas and Rook chose one of the two dialogue options that indicate Lavellan's willingness to follow Solas
The Inquisitor tells Solas that he does not have to make this journey alone, that the prison will not be terrible as long as they are together, and that they'll make this journey together always. The Inquisitor then voluntarily steps into the Fade with Solas.
2. Trick Solas
Choose "Let's try this your way." (Trick Solas with the fake dagger)
Rook successfully tricks Solas into using the fake dagger. Solas states that he is a fool who has finally met his match as he is pulled into the Fade.
3. Fight Solas
Choose "But I want to fight you." (Fight Solas and bind him to the Veil)
The outcome of the fight depends on whether the companions in the active party are Heroes of the Veilguard (meaning whether you completed their personal questline).[confirmation needed]
- If both companions are 'Heroes of the Veilguard', then Rook and their companions will successfully stab Solas and push him into the Fade as he angrily states that he is a god compared to them.
- If neither companions are 'Heroes of the Veilguard',[confirmation needed] then Solas will kill both of them by turning them to stone, then stab Rook with the dagger. Rook manages to get some of Solas' blood on the dagger, but is then forced to drag Solas into the Fade themself, trapping both of them in the Fade.
Results[]
As Elgar'nan's ritual nears completion, the team sneaks onto the Archon's Palace in a desperate attempt to preven the blight from ravaging the world. To make matters worse, Solas is still at large, bent on stopping Elgar'nan his way and allowing the Veil to collapse, which would drown the world in demons and raw magic. Whatever the team does to save the world, they'll need to do it quickly.
