Helping Minrathous consequences in Dragon Age The Veilguard

If you choose to help Minrathous in Dragon Age: The Veilguard then Lucanis will become 'Hardened', making it harder to romance him and he'll be unavailable for a while in the story after you've made this choice. He'll also lose his support abilities, such as 'Soothing Potion' but a few of his attack abilities will be stronger.

Helping Minrathous means that you'll need to protect the city by fighting off the Seartooth Vyrantus dragon with Neve and one other party member. If you've chosen to help Minrathous then the Shadow Dragons will help you in a quest later on.

Also, Treviso will be mostly destroyed, lots of people will die and the city will become blighted. Thi will impact quite a few of the following quests in the story as well as side quests - so choose wisely if you'd prefer to explore that area over Minrathous.

By picking Minrathous you'll get -100 Strength with the Antivan Crows, however you can earn this back by doing side quests around Treviso to help people.

Helping Treviso consequences in Dragon Age The Veilguard

If you choose to help Treviso on Dragon Age: The Veilguard then Neve will become 'Hardened', making it harder to romance her and she'll be unavailable for a while in the story after you've made your choice. She will lose her healing ability but her attack ones will become stronger.

Helping Treviso means that you'll need to protect it by battling with Corius the Icetalon (a dragon) with Lucanis and one other party member. Also, if you've helped Treviso then the Antivan Crows will lend their help in a quest later on.

As a result of this choice, Minrathous will be mostly destroyed, lots of people will die and the city will become blighted as well as the Shadow Dragon's leader - the Viper. Neve will not be happy with you at all because of this, so if you want to romance her then we'd highly recommend choosing Minrathous. However, if you want to romance Lucanis then Treviso is the better choice.

It's worth noting though, that even if you pick Treviso, you can make your strength back with the Shadow Dragons by doing various side quests in Minrathous.
