At the end of each companion questline in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, you'll have to make an important choice about each of them. After Taash's final quest, you will need to support her and help her make a decision: follow the Rivain culture or embrace the Qunari heritage.
We will tell you what choice to make and what rewards await you after each decision in our guide.
Whose culture should Taash embrace?
The opportunity to make an important decision will become available after the final quest of the Taash quest chain “Lair of the Dragon King”. Find Taash's mother and fight the dragon Kaltenzan.
After a short cutscene with the dead Shatann, you will return to the Lighthouse. Torn between Rivain and Qunari culture, Taash will ask you to decide: what to choose to honor the memory of your mother.
Choose the Qunari culture
Choosing first answer option“Who She Was”, you will encourage Taash to adhere to Qunari culture in order to honor her mother's memory in accordance with their traditions.
After completing the quest, Taash will become a Veilguard Legend. In addition, she will receive the legendary medium armor“Reverence for the Qun” and the Veilguard skill“Qunari Focus”.
The armor, in combination with a unique skill, will help to impose on enemies weakened, allowing you to perform more detonations with other companions.
Equipping Taash with the Qun Reverence armor will allow you to effectively detonate enemies with a squad of Bellara and Rook the Warrior or Davrin and Rook the Rogue.
Choose the Rivain Culture
For Taash to choose to follow the Rivain Culture that is closest to her, where she spent most of her life, choose the second option “What did she want for you?”.
Taash will also become a Veilguard Legend and will receive the following rewards: the legendary armor “Legacy of Rivain” and the Veilguard skill “Rivain Flavor”.
The combination of the new armor with the Veilguard skill will raise Taash's personal damage per second, also adding a burning effect to the detonation. At the same time, the Rivain Flavor skill will allow you to kill enemies faster in combination with increased damage by 25% when their health is high.
Also, attacks that apply 50% more burning on the first hit will be more effective than before, when the fire damage was evenly distributed throughout the entire attack.
With an additional 150% fire damage on detonations, some of Taash's skills will deal even more damage. For example, “Breath of Fire”, “Dragon's Fire Strike” and “Fire Spit”, which can be unlocked in the skill tree.
