Emmrich’s Companion Quest Guide: Dragon Age: The Veilguard
Emmrich Volkarin joins your party as a companion during the ‘Where the Dead Must Go’ quest. His quest line explores his goal of becoming a Lich and his connection with dead spirits and skeletons. It also focuses on his cute skeleton assistant Manfred and their bond. Emmrich’s quests can be picked up by talking to him at the lighthouse when he has a yellow exclamation mark.
Walking The Graves
Emmrich’s quest line starts with the ‘Walking The Graves’ quest, an outing quest at the Memorial Gardens. Follow Emmrich through the Memorial Gardens and light several candles until he is ready to call the spirits. Once he is ready, make him ring the bell to summon the spirits. After speaking with the spirits, make Emmrich ring the bell once again to close the departing ceremony.
House Of The Dead
The House Of The Dead quests starts at the Blackthorne Courtyard, and your primary goal is to find the rogue necromancer named Hezenkoss. Enter the mansion and investigate for any signs of necromancy there. Defeat the demons in the Master Bedroom to help Emmrich free the spirit. Continue your way and fight some demons to help Emmrich free another spirit.
Investigate the strange door at the Blackthorne Library, which takes you to the Fade. Defeat some undead and the rage demon in your path and investigate the corpses to confront Hezenkoss. Hezenkoss traps you in the fade before leaving the Fade herself. Fight your way through some demons and free the last spirit at the Fade. You must find a way to get out of the Fade.
Find and bring some candles and light them so that Emmrich can help you escape the Fade. Find Hezenkoss in the mansion and fight some more demons along with the Rampant Ego to end the quest.
Arrangements
In Arrangements quests, accompany Emmrich while he places flowers on the graves of his parents. Follow Emmrich and pick a bunch of flowers.
The Sacrifice Of Souls
In The Sacrifice Of Souls quest, find Hezenkoss’s lantern to stop Hezenkoss’s ritual. The quest starts at the Blackthorne Courtyard. Enter the Guest Room through the ladder and reach the main hall. Get to the library, defeat some undead guards, and search for the spectral tome. Once you get the tome, give it to Manfred and watch him from the balcony of the main hall.
Then, Follow Emmrich to reach the Shrine, but you need to get the key to enter the shrine. Fortunately, Manfred saves your time by bringing the key. Get the key from Manfred and open the Shrine. After a cut scene, follow the red tapestries to get to the Secret Passage. Prepare to fight some undead guards there. Find and interact with the secret door to make Manfred squeeze through the holes and make way for you.
On your way through Hezenkoss’s workshop, you would face several enemies along with the Deathchill Pride Demon. Then, you will see the lantern in the upper library. When you try to obtain the lantern, a cut scene plays, where Hezenkoss resurrects a gigantic bone golem and absorbs the spirits of all the people there. Fight Hezenkoss and defeat her. Once defeated, another cutscene plays, where Manfred sacrifices himself to get the lantern to Emmrich. Emmrich uses the lantern to stop Hezenkoss rituals.
Two options would come up on a later cut scene with the Lich lord, where you must guide Emmrich to either become a Lich and live an immortal life or sacrifice Lichdom to bring back Manfred.
