And which means you may concentrate on who you need to have in your social gathering and work backward.

Who to assign throughout ‘The Dread Wolf Rises’

In your option to the Archon’s Palace, you’ll have one final task at hand out.

Earlier than you begin your climb, your entire allies collect and warn you to a coming assault and also you’ll have to select certainly one of your companions to remain behind and assist out. This alternative is about defending others. Both Bellara or Neve — whoever bought kidnapped earlier — received’t be obtainable for this function — however the two of them are unhealthy decisions right here. (Spoiler: They’ll die.)

Your faction energy figures in rather a lot right here, as does the Hero of the Veilguard standing of your companions.
