Getting Started

Begin your journey in Dragon Age: The Veilguard immediately after character creation. You'll witness a cutscene featuring Rook and Varric searching for Neve Gallus, a detective capable of tracking Solas, the Dread Wolf. The narrative quickly introduces the tearing Veil and the emergence of demons, signaling the start of the Dread Wolf's ritual. Follow Varric through a detour to encounter your first enemies not far from your starting point.

The initial moments of the game involve a peaceful stroll interrupted by a cutscene where a girl is to be detained. The Veil begins to tear, indicating Solas' ritual has commenced, and demons will spawn, though they won't engage you immediately. Continue moving forward, and after another short cutscene, Varric will ask you to follow him for "small matters." Travel with him to find your first enemy encounter close to your starting location. This introduction sets the stage for Act 1: Signs and Portents, which includes quests such as "The End of the Beginning," "Shadows of Ancient Arlathan," and "In Entropy’s Grasp."
