Dragon Age: The Veilguard - Isle Of Gods Walkthrough

The Isle Of The Gods is the beginning of the end for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and hopefully for the tyranny of the gods, the Blight, and the Veil. It's a tough battle with tough choices, and sees you fight Darkspawn, Antaam, Venatori, and mercenaries before coming face to face with Ghilan'nain herself.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard - 10 Best Locations

Dragon Age: The Veilguard has a lot of hidden areas and secret locations, but which ones are worth tracking down?

With so many different enemies, it's not really too crucial who you take, as they will always be someone who can exploit a Vulnerability. We suggest someone who has healing Abilities, as well as duos that combo well together (meaning one character that Detonates). And it all starts with a very important decision.

Davrin Or Harding For The Second Team

For here on out, there are a lot of choices like this you'll have to make, and we have a full breakdown of every choice and the best person to pick. But right here right now, you're starting the mission off picking between Davrin and Harding. Since this is getting into spoilers, we'll keep it basic - whoever you choose will be unavailable for selection for the rest of the game, so choose the character you like least.

Davrin's Fire damage is useful, but covered by Taash. Meanwhile, Harding is a generalist, meaning she's never a bad pick, but there's always a better one. In that sense, neither are crucial to your lineup, so your decision doesn't get any easier. Read on for spoilers.

Beware, only Read More if you are prepared for major spoilers

At the end of this mission, whichever companion you choose will sacrifice themselves to save the team. There is no way to complete this mission without Harding or Davrin (and Assan, who goes down with him) dying.

After this, you'll be battling along the beach. It's a linear combat gauntlet, so as long as you have your companion heal you, shouldn't be too tough.

Bellara Or Neve To Take Down The Magic Wards

Much like with Harding and Davrin, there are potential spoilers here, so we'll stick to the basics (and, again, we have a full breakdown for all endgame choices here) and say whoever you choose will also be unavailable until the end of the game. If Neve has been Hardened, you should choose her, as she won't have her healing Abilities. If not, it's your choice. Since both can heal and area control through Blizzard or Galvanized Tear, it comes down to person preference.

However, due to later choices, you will end up without one of Emmrich or Lucanis if you choose Neve, and one of Emmrich or Taash if you choose Bellara.

The consequences here are less deadly. Whoever you choose will be captured, and will need to be rescued later in the game. But even then, you will not be able to add them you your party, so choose wisely.

Once this choice is over, you will continue battling, and things will get tougher. When faced with Darkspawn, you want to target the Boils to eliminate them, and take out the Emissaries first as they can leave powerful hazards all the way across the battlefield, trapping you in.

How To Defeat Ghilan'nain

When you fight Ghilan'ain, you will be alone at first, and the waves of Darkspawn don't stop. While you want to fight back to avoid being crowded, your focus should be the Blight. The only major exceptions to this are Javelineers and Hurlock Blighters, as these have major area damage that can make getting around the arena a nightmare. Obviously fight back against anything attacking you, and use your Abilities against anything aggressive and in your face, but the name of the game here is staying alive and destroying the Blight.

It's important to know that you do not need to fight Ghilan'nain. Once you get her Blight Shield down, a cutscene will play to end the quest, so make good use of health potions - don't save them.

Let's get on with the Blight.The first Boil is immediately in front to the left as the battle starts. Attack it, then head up the steps next to it for the next Boil. The third Boil is at the bottom of the steps. After this attack the Blight around Ghilan'nain. This frees your first companion.

Have your companion target the toughest Darkspawn, and get on with clearing the Blight. Go to the opposite side of the arena and attack the Blight. The second Boil is nearby at the base of the steps. Next attack the Blight next to Ghilan'nain, then the Boil to the left. After this, go back up the stairs to attack the Blight on the arch.

With all this done, you can attack the Blight around Ghilan'nain, which frees your second companion.

To the back of the arena in the middle, you'll find the next Blight Boil. This leads you up the central stairs where the second Blight Boil is on the arch, and the third is at the bottom. Attack the Blight on the middle island near Ghilan'nain, then at the other side of the steps at the bottom.

Again, you can now attack the Blight around Ghilan'nain, which this time frees Harding or Davrin, whichever one you sent. They can't be used in battle, but they are key to the next phase. For now, keep going after the Blight.

Go back to where the very first Boil was, and a new one can be attacked. Back up a little and aim at the right of the arch on the steps. This will destroy the Blight, but also activate another Boil right next to the first one. Destroy it, then head up the same stairs for a Boil on the other side.

Now you can attack the Blight around Ghilan'nain to end the quest. Watch the cutscene play out, and possibly regret not biting the bullet and checking that spoiler warning earlier.
