Everything you need to know about how to respec in Dragon Age: The Veilguard for both, the Rook and Companions.
Similar to most modern action RPGs, Dragon Age: The Veilguard allows you to respec the Rook and Companions. Being able to respec, or reallocate your skill points, lets you try out different playstyles without starting afresh. Furthermore, respeccing also helps to rectify any mistakes you might’ve made with skill point allocation in the game’s opening hours.
The process of respeccing is fairly straightforward in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. However, figuring out where to look to respec the Rook and Companions can be a bit tricky, especially if you don’t have prior experience with action RPGs.
Thankfully, Dragon Age: The Veilguard doesn’t hide respeccing behind specific quests or obtaining certain key items like Elden Ring or Dark Souls. Unlike Elden Ring, you can freely respec Rook as well as Companions right from the main menu. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to respec Rook and Companions in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
How to Respec the Rook in Dragon Age: The Veilguard
To respec the Rook in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, head to the Skills menu. Then, access the entire skill tree and specializations for the Rook. However, there’s also the option to Refund Points, located at the bottom left side of the screen.
To refund your skill points, aka, respec the Rook’s current set of skills, press the Triangle Button or the Y Button on your PlayStation and Xbox controller, respectively. Once you get all your skill points back, reallocate them as you see fit. Do note that once you get a refund for all your skill points, you need to reallocate all the specializations as well.
The skill tree in Dragon Age: The Veilguard is quite similar to the one in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Skills in The Veilguard are connected to different branches of the skill tree. If you want to unlock a specific skill, first allocate a significant amount of points to unlock a branch. However, if you want to reclaim only a few skill points, you can do that as well. Simply head to a specific skill node on the skill tree, and press the X Button or the A Button on your controller to refund that node’s points.
This not only makes the process of respeccing much easier but also lets you revert any skill you might’ve unlocked by mistake. It should be noted that you can only respec your Rook’s skills, not the starting class you began your journey with. To try out different classes in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, you will have to start new playthrough(s).
How to Respec the Companions in Dragon Age: The Veilguard
The process of respeccing Companions is essentially the same as the Rook’s. Head to the Companions tab. There, you can refund the skill points you spent on your chosen Companions. Note that you can only respec those Companions that are currently active in your party. To respec other Companions, you have to change your party using the Eluvians. Furthermore, similar to the Rook’s skill tree, you can also selectively refund skill points for your Companions.
