Discover how to romance Neve Gallus in Dragon Age: The Veilguard! Learn about her major choices, dialogue options, and quest progression to secure her heart.
Alright, let's talk about Neve Gallus and how to win her heart in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. She's got some pretty significant choices tied to her, and getting her romance right involves a few key decisions throughout the game. Don't worry, I'll walk you through it!
Neve’s Major Choices
Neve, along with Lucanis, really gets the spotlight when it comes to companion choices. You'll face two big ones that impact her and your relationship.
Take Neve or Harding during 'Beginning of the End'
This one pops up super early, right in the prologue. As you're about to confront Solas, you'll need to decide who to bring along. To get on Neve's good side for romance, you'll absolutely want to Take Neve with you. She'll approve big time! Just a heads-up, she does get injured during this, and you'll see it for a good chunk of Act I. She'll also be out of commission for the next main quest while she recovers with the Veil Jumpers. It's a small price to pay for a Neve-focused playthrough, though!
Pro-Tip: Make sure you pick Neve here. Her approval boost is significant for the romance.
Save Treviso or Minrathous
This is a huge decision that comes after the 'A Man’s Best Friend' quest. Dragons are attacking both cities, and you can only save one. This choice is permanent and affects your companions. If you don't save Minrathous, Neve (who is tied to it) will become Hardened and distant, making romance much tougher. For Lucanis, it's a romance killer. To make things easier for Neve's romance, you'll want to save Minrathous.
Heads-up: Saving Minrathous is crucial for an easier Neve romance. If you choose Treviso, be prepared for a much harder road with her.
Committing to an Exclusive Relationship with Neve
Beyond just picking the heart-icon dialogue options, there are two specific moments where you lock in the romance.
Pursuing Romantic Interest in Neve
This is your first big romantic choice. You can still flirt with others at this stage, but you need to nail this dialogue option. After finishing Neve’s quest, The Cobbled Swan Case (which won't appear until after 'The Siege of Weisshaupt' in Act II), you'll have a Bond Event in The Lighthouse. When you get the choice, pick “I like surprising you”. This is key to continuing the romance.
Important: Don't miss this dialogue! Choosing anything else here can lock you out of the romance for this playthrough.
Exclusive Relationship with Neve
Keep flirting and progressing her companion quests, and you'll eventually unlock her 'A Clear Mind' quest. The final, critical choice happens here. Neve will be asking you some questions, and when the moment comes, you absolutely must choose “I’m here. No matter what.” This locks you into an exclusive romance with Neve and closes the door on any other potential relationships.
Final Call: This is it! Say the right thing here to commit to Neve, or say goodbye to the romance.
Neve’s Quests
Neve has her own questline focused on bringing peace to Dock Town. Here are her quests in order:
- A Study of Dock Town
- Fit for a Detective (Gift)
- The Cobbled Swan Case
- Chasing Leads
- A Clear Mind
- Keep a Light On
- The Returned Cultist Case
- The Local Hero
So, that's the rundown on romancing Neve Gallus! The biggest factor in how easy or hard this will be is your choice between saving Minrathous or Treviso. Good luck!
