The Dragon Age series has always taken pride in its world and characters, and Dragon Age: The Veilguard is no different. The game boasts a massive cast of characters, each with their own intricate histories, personalities, and lore. Some of these characters come as companions, giving the game the chance to flesh these characters out further through companion quests. Neve Gallus is an investigator from Minrathous and is one of the earliest companions you find in the game. Completing Neve’s Companion quests in Dragon Age: The Veilguard helps gain approval and form a stronger bond with her. 

In this guide, we shall go over Neve’s Companion quests and how to complete them. 

Neve’s Companion Quests

Neve has a total of four companion quests, which at first introduce the investigator’s detective skills and then expand upon the same in addition to fleshing out her personal ambitions. Her four quests are as follows: 

  • A Study Of Dock Town (Outing)
  • Chasing Leads (can be taken after Fire and Ice)
  • A Clear Mind (Outing)
  • The Returned Cultist Case

Neve’s quests can be accessed after the “Shadow of Minrathous” mission. Head to the Lighthouse, and you will find an exclamation mark around Neve’s icon. Interact with her to begin her quest. 

A Study of Dock Town 

Meet with Neve after the “Shadow of Minrathous” quest to begin this Companion quest. Neve will express interest in heading back to the town to pick up on any new gossip, and Rook will suggest joining in. If you had picked to save Treviso earlier, Neve will dismiss Rook’s interest in the town. 

Head to town with Neve and investigate around to find any news. Neve will ask you to assist her in buying papers. You will then meet Neve’s friends, who will inform you of developments brewing in the town’s crime-ridden underbelly.

Chasing Leads

Talk to Neve after the ‘Fire and Ice’ main story quest, and she will update you on the progress of her investigation into the cult and Aelia. This quest is more of a conversation and will move the story along. 

A Clear Mind 

A Clear Mind is an outing-type quest with Neve in Dock Town. The quest requires you to help Neve clear her mind from all the events surrounding the town. Neve feels betrayed by the town, so you help her collect rocks. You will then skip rocks across the water at the docks while Neve opens up to you. As she clears her mind, the investigator has a breakthrough in the case and decides to investigate the Spillway. A breakthrough in the investigation concludes the case.

The Returned Cultist Case

The Returned Cultist Case leads Neve into a final showdown with Aelia. The quest objective is simple: Stop Aelia. Head to Dock Town and follow Neve to get inside the Sanctum Lucasan, where Aelia is conducting a blood ritual. 

As you pass through the Thread market, you will have to defeat the Venatori along the way. A warehouse in the market will then lead you to the Sanctum. More Venatori lie in your path, so defeat them as you make your way to Aelia. 

Once you reach Aelia, you will have to take her head-on in a boss fight. You will be given one of two choices, each with different outcomes on Neve’s status. 

  • ‘You bring Dock Town hope.’ This will turn Neve into an inspiring Hero of the Veilguard..
  • ‘You protect Dock Town.’ Neve will become a shadowy protector of the town.

Defeat Aelia to conclude Neve’s Companion quest.
