Our Dragon Age: The Veilguard information will allow you to determine whether or not to avoid wasting Minrathous or Treviso, together with some useful recommendation.
First, again up and end facet quests
Probably not a spoiler, however a dragon assault is type of an enormous deal for a metropolis, so issues are going to get tousled. Amongst these issues is any obtainable facet quests.
When you’ve got open facet quests in whichever metropolis you don’t select to avoid wasting, they’ll all mechanically fail. Primarily based on our testing, if in case you have companion quests for Neve or Lucanis, the one within the metropolis you don’t save will even mechanically fail in case you don’t full it.
Load up a save from earlier than “A Warden’s Greatest Buddy,” and go wrap up no matter you’ll want to. The one exception, based on our testing, are the facet quests concerned with defeating a champion of the gods; these are higher-level quests, and stay obtainable even after you full “On Lethal Wings.”
Do you have to go to Minrathous or Treviso?
Look, you’re dooming one metropolis to fairly in depth harm, so that is actually a name about which faction you wish to assist essentially the most, the Shadow Dragons or the Antivan Crows (and, by extension, Neve or Lucanis respectively).
There’s lots to think about right here — any excellent facet quests, your relationship with the faction, your relationship with the companion, and the burden in your conscience. A lot of the dialogue, the large dangerous you run into (other than the dragon), and even how the battle performs out are the identical, although.

The change to the world is a bit more apparent. Whereas neither city shall be outright destroyed, there’ll nonetheless be lasting results. Your contacts in both the Antivan Crows or the Shadow Dragons will take successful and also you’ll lose entry to their vendor. You’ll have to re-explore town and unlock quick journey beacons once more. Your enemies — the Antaam and the Venatori — additionally make strikes and acquire energy in no matter city you don’t assist (which ends up in new facet quests).

Your selection Hardens an ally
Whoever you don’t assistance is understandably upset (and seems to be additional upset in case you’ve allied your self with their respective faction throughout character creation).

On the similar time, Hardening will increase the power of a handful of their abilities. For Neve, it’s her chilly harm towards obstacles and their cooldowns. For Lucanis, it’s his necrotic assaults towards obstacles.
