The Veilguard – how to get the secret ending

There are many different ending combinations depending on which characters survive and which meet their fate. However, it is important to note that the overall structure of the final missions and final boss battle will remain unchanged. This means that while your choices and consequences may lead to different outcomes and changes in the story, the process of completing the mission and encountering your main enemy will remain the same. We have described below the main operational factors for obtaining endings.

Faction Star Rating is an important aspect of gameplay that affects your interactions with different groups in the game. We recommend that you strive for it third faction levelas this gives access to additional features and privileges.

A faction’s rating increases by completing tasks related to that faction, and by selling valuable items to a merchant who is part of it. The higher your rating, the more confidence you gain, which can result unique quests, improving relationships with characters and other benefits.

If your allies have achieved the status of ‘Heroes’, this will provide unique opportunities and privileges for them in the game. To obtain this status, you must complete special quest lineswhich begin with conversations with companions at the lighthouse.

The final mission, which covers Chapters 12 through 14, requires you to carefully and strategically distribute tasks among your companions. Each task has its own characteristics and it is important to take into account the skills and strengths of each character.

Choosing the wrong companion for a given task can have dire consequences, including the death of key faction NPCs or even the death of your companions. This adds an element of tension and responsibility to your decisions, as every action can affect the outcome of the mission and the fate of your heroes.

The best ending of the game can be considered one in which all your allies – both companions and faction leaders – remain alive. To achieve this result, you must complete absolutely every quest in the game and each of your companions must reach the status of ‘Heroes’.

In addition, it is important to reach three faction stars, which ensures a high level of trust and support from allies. This path requires care and strategic planning, as you will have to make important decisions and successfully perform various tasks. By completing all the necessary quests and strengthening your relationships with the factions, you can ensure a safe outcome for all your heroes.

In Chapter 12 you must choose a teammate as a distraction target. Please note that regardless of your choice, this character will not survive. If this has already happened, don’t worry: it’s part of the plot and the situation doesn’t affect the trophy. This way you can continue playing without having to worry about the consequences of this choice. Just focus on completing other tasks and progressing through the story as the developers intended.

After the boss fight in Chapter 12, you will again have to choose an ally who will destroy the wards. This time your choice will be between Niv and Bellar. Regardless of who you choose, that character will temporarily leave your party and appear as dead. Don’t be angry: you’ll get a chance to save him in the next story chapter. When the character returns, be sure to upgrade him to ‘Hero’ status.

Below we provide a complete list of actions to help you achieve this achievement:

In Chapter 13 (The Last Gambit), in which you return to the lighthouse, after interacting with the table in the rooms of Lukanis, you will have to assign specific roles to your companions in the coming battle. Select the following characters:

Once you’ve escorted Solas to the safety of the city, you’ll encounter plenty of NPCs to interact with. Pay attention to the task marked with a blue marker, which allows you to honor the memory of the fallen.

In Chapter 14 (The Dread Wolf Rises) you will need to reassign your companions. Best recommendations for choosing:

To get the worst ending, you have to take completely opposite steps. Start the final mission with only 1 star in all factions and without reaching “Hero” status for your companions. When assigning companions in chapters 12-14, choose the wrong roles for them.

These actions will result in an almost complete loss of your team, which will ultimately lead to you getting the worst ending. So you see how your decisions influence the fate of the characters and the development of the plot in the darkest version of events.

The secret ending is revealed when you watch the credits of the final mission. To unlock it, you must meet several conditions:

First mysterious circle is inside Arlatan Forestwhich is located on a small island. To get there, you need to aim all the lasers in that area at the crystals on the island.

Once you set the lasers correctly, a bridge will appear that allows you to cross over to the island. After reaching the island, you can collect the first Mysterious Circle, highlighted in the screenshot below.

Second mysterious circle is inside Halls of the Necropolis. Make sure you have the trophy before you go after it. The untetheredwhere you have to fight the “formless” dragon.

To do this, look on the left side of the map to find the area you want. After receiving the trophy, you can continue your journey and find the second Mysterious Circle at this location.

Third mysterious circle located on location “Crossroads”. To obtain this you must complete the mission “Heart of Corruption”. After completing this mission, all the checkpoints of that location will be marked with a marker, making your journey easier.

You’ve already fought the Reborn Dragon at this location, so just enter the room where the battle took place. The third Mysterious Circle is on the left side of the room. Make sure you visit this place carefully so you don’t miss it.

After completing all the main missions, go to the final mission to complete it. After the normal credits you unlock a secret cutscene and an achievement “The Storm Suppresses”.
