Obtaining Mythal’s Essence
In Dragon Age: The Veilguard, players will encounter the quest “Regrets of the Dreadwolf,” where obtaining Mythal’s Essence is the main objective. There are two ways to acquire the essence – either by convincing Mythal to gift it to you or by engaging in a battle to take it by force. While the latter option may seem enticing, it’s best to choose the former to avoid facing an enraged level 45 dragon. This guide will help you navigate through the conversation with Mythal in order to secure her essence.
Benefits of Keeping Mythal Alive
Opting to keep Mythal alive and gaining her support can be advantageous in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. By aligning with this elven goddess, players can receive assistance during the challenging battle with the Revenant Dragon in the Heart of Corruption quest. This formidable boss is known to provide a tough challenge, making Mythal’s help invaluable.
After learning Morrigan’s story, proceed to the location of Mythal’s fragment where you will have the opportunity to either engage in combat or persuade her to give you her essence. Obtaining Mythal’s essence is essential for unlocking the third alternate ending in DAV. Earning her favor involves answering four specific questions correctly.
Choosing the Correct Answers
Prior to facing Mythal, it is recommended that players complete Bellara’s questline. This will grant you an additional response option, improving your chances of success. When interacting with the goddess, choose the “I want your help” prompt to trigger the following questions, which must be answered correctly:
“We Must Stop the Blight”
- Best Answer: “You stood against it”
- Other Good Answers: “People will die”
- Instant Fight: “The blight is your fault”
“We Must Stop the Gods”
- Best Answer: “We stopped Anaris” (available after completing Bellara’s questline)
- Other Good Answers: “They wronged you” and “Put the blight aside?”
- Instant Fight: “We need no gods”
“We are Worthy”
- Best Answer: “Building a safe place”
- Other Good Answers: “Fighting monsters”
- Instant Fight: “I’m following your example”
“Solas is Helping Me”

Tip:
- To convince Mythal, you must select at least three of the best answers provided.
- If you choose “We stopped Anaris,” Mythal’s support will be secured if no instant fight options are selected.
- Opting for an Instant Fight response will lead to a battle with Mythal regardless of previous choices.
