Dragon Age: The Veilguard is filled with crucial choices to the brim. Starting from the very first mission, you choose between Neve and Harding to try and stop Solas’ ritual. Although these choices add interactive depth, the sheer number can sometimes feel overwhelming, amplified by the fact that your choices affect subsequent missions.

Towards the endgame, you must choose between Neve and Bellara, as you can send only one to dismantle the wards. While the outcome remains the same, there are other consequences to consider before making a choice. This article will explore whether you should send Neve or Bellara to dismantle the wards in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

When Do You Choose Between Neve or Bellara in Dragon Age: The Veilguard?

The choice to send Neve or Bellara to dismantle the wards appears during the Isle of Gods story quest. You will undertake this quest towards the end of the game, after arriving at the inner sanctum of the stronghold on Tearstone Island.

The Isle of Gods quest already had one major decision before this: choosing between Harding or Davrin to lead the distraction party. Choosing between Neve and Bellara is the second major choice in this quest, and this one also has dire consequences.

If you choose to send Neve to dismantle the wards in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the following consequences will occur:

  • Bellara will disapprove of your actions.
  • Neve will not be available for the remainder of the game.
  • You cannot choose Neve as a companion during The Last Gambit quest.
  • You cannot romance Neve or continue her personal quest, The Returned Cultist Case (if it is incomplete).

If you send Neve, she will succeed in dismantling the wards but will be captured by the Elgar’Nan and become blighted. As a result, she will be unavailable for The Last Gambit quest, although you will be able to rescue her after the quest is complete.

What Happens if You Choose Bellara To Dismantle the Wards?

Choosing to send Bellara to dismantle the wards in Dragon Age: The Veilguard will have the following consequences:

  • Neve will disapprove of your actions.
  • Bellar will not be available for the remainder of the game.
  • You cannot choose Bellara as a companion during The Last Gambit quest.
  • You cannot romance Bellara or continue her personal quest, The Forest of Spirits (if it is incomplete).

The consequences mirror the previous choice; however, Bellara becomes the subject of the negative aspects. She, too, will succeed in dismantling the wards but will be captured by the Elgar’Nan. You will be able to rescue her after completing The Last Gambit quest.

Whom Should You Choose To Send Between Neve and Bellara To Dismantle the Wards in Dragon Age: The Veilguard?

Your playstyle and builds on Rook, Neve, and Bellara, will determine whom you should send to dismantle the wards in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. This is not a very simple choice, and there are multiple factors that you need to keep in mind.

Bellara is arguably one of the best support characters in the game. You might have built her as your main healer, and her absence from The Last Gambit might put you in a tight spot. Neve, on the other hand, performs best as a DPS when built appropriately. If you are confident in Rook’s DPS abilities and have a mage build, not having Bellara as your main healer for the final fights might be challenging.

That said, Bellara can be easily replaced with other support characters like Lucanis. While the fights may become slightly more difficult, it is manageable with strategic plays. Conversely, Neve is an exceptional mage and elemental damage dealer. Her assistance would be valuable during The Last Gambit, as her archetype is rare. While Bellara can be replaced, finding a suitable replacement for Neve is tough, regardless of your build on Rook.

Unless you specifically want to romance Bellara or want her as your main healer, choosing to send her to dismantle the wards might be the better choice. This will allow Neve to join you as an elemental damage dealer for The Last Gambit, making the quest easier.
