After fighting Anaris, the final boss of Bellara's quests in Dragon Age: The Veilguard
, you will have to help her make an important decision regarding the future of everything elven people. You will have to choose what to do with Bellare with the Archive found, full of ancient knowledge.Keep the Archive or let it go, we will tell you in our guide.
Let go or keep the Archive
After completing Bellara's final quest “Through the Shadows”, you will meet her at her room in the Lighthouse. She will tell you about her concerns and possible prospects associated with the Archive she found earlier. Hoping to make the right decision, Bellara will turn to Rook with a question: keep the Archive or let it go?
Save knowledge archive
By choosing the first option “Keep the Archive”, you will convince Bellara to leave the ancient elven knowledge, despite the risk of it falling into the wrong hands.
After the conversation, the elf will become Legend of the Veil Guardianand will receive the following rewards: the legendary armor “Archivist's Mail” and the skill “Long Strike”.
The armor, combined with the Veilguard skill, can increase Bellara's support skills, adding the ability to apply a weakness to the “Health Surge” ability.
“Health Surge” will be the strongest support ability, combining Rook's healing with enemy debuffs. Perfect for Thunderstrike builds.
Bellara, who has preserved the Archive, will be especially useful in combat for Rook, providing healing while debuffing enemies.
Forfeit the Archive's Knowledge
To persuade Bellara to part with the archive, select the appropriate option “Release the Archive”. Bellara will consider your answer reasonable and ask for some time to say goodbye to the legacy of the elven people.
After the conversation, Bellara will also receive the status of Veilguard Legend, as well as the legendary “Reborn Armor” and the skill “Chain Lightning”.
These rewards will help increase Bellara's personal damage per second, allowing her to deal with groups of enemies, when combined with her other skills.
By activating the Long Spark ability in the Electrified Rupture skill tree, you can apply additional thunder damage to multiple enemies at once.
This will also allow the new Chain Lightning skill to destroy enemies on which this ability is activated.
It is recommended to choose Release the Archive to get the most out of Bellara's abilities with lightning damage, capable of destroying entire groups of enemies. Your answer will NOT affect the main plot. At least in this part of the series.
