If there’s one thing a Dragon Age game (almost) never goes without, it’s a romance with a Grey Warden.Dragon Age: The Veilguardwon’t let you down on that front. I’ll walk you through how to romance Davrin, as equally honorable a guy as all our former Warden romances, but with more confidence in chasing your relationship than the blight battling boys have ever shown in the past.

His personal journey revolves around coming to terms with being dad to a griffon, trying to rescue Assan’s siblings from a mysterious monster, and maintaining his purpose as a Warden in the middle of this god-battling plot.

Davrin’s romance is a fun one. He’s nothing like the blushing and bashful Warden romances of Origins and Inquisition. Davrin is open about his intentions, confident in all your interactions, and not above some flirtatious innuendo. He knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to ask Rook what they want either.

How to romance Davrin

Here’s the shorthand on how to romance Davrin:

Aside from that, you’ll have two key conversations with Davrin that determine whether you’re open to and then committing to a relationship with him.

Outing: How to Train A Griffon

In act one, Davrin will take you on a jaunt through Arlathan Forest with him to forage for Assan’s new favorite snack: gingerwort truffles. Davrin will tell you a little about his life as you explore: how he was too restless to stay with his Dalish clan forever and wound up first as a hunter and then a Grey Warden.

To get Davrin’s approval:

You’ll get an option to flirt with Davrin here too, saying that his confidence is sexy while talking about the dangers of being a Grey Warden. After this conversation, your relationship with Davrin should say “Thrill of the chase” with a heart beside it.

Express interest in a romance with Davrin

In act two, after completing the quest at The Cauldron, you’ll find Davrin in his room working on chopping wood for a new project.

Here’s what to say to express romantic interest in Davrin:

You’ll almost manage to catch a kiss here but whoops, his feathered son interrupts you at the last moment. If you check in on your bond level with Davrin, it should now be labeled “Hot and bothered,” which feels pretty accurate after that close encounter.

Outing: A Friend in Need (commit to a romance)

In act three, Davrin will take you on another excursion with Assan into Arlathan forest, this time to meet his old mentor Eldrin. You can also ask Eldrin to spill the details on what Davrin was like when he was younger and learn some cute details about his time in the forest.

To get Davrin’s approval:

To commit to a romance with Davrin:

This time, thankfully, Assan actually gives you two the space to steal a kiss before interrupting.

Conversation: The Palate of a Griffon

In act three Davrin asks you to come along on another outing to the forest, this time a picnic at the encouragement of the other Wardens. He’s brewed Assan’s favorite truffles into a tea which is probably totally safe.

You have two opportunities to flirt with him here:

Quest: The Profane and the Lost

In act three, Davrin will finally be able to track down the Gloomhowler who stole all of Assan’s sibling griffons. After the end of that quest, you’ll return with all of them to the forest to catch up with uncle Eldrin and Evka the Warden.

You’ll have a quick option to flirt with Davrin here:

After fully completing his questline, Davrin will invite you to check in on the griffons, whether they’re training as Wardens in the High Anderfells or as forest protectors in Arlathan.

If you’re more worried about screwing up than spoilers, you can get the details in ourVeilguard endings guide. Your gut will probably tell you the right call to make though.

There is a possibility that you’ll miss out on the final romance scene with Davrin depending on a choice you make during the quest The Shadowed Sun. If you’re more worried about screwing up than spoilers, you can get the details in ourVeilguard endings guide. Your gut will probably tell you the right call to make though.

The final night

As you approach the end of the game, you’ll have one final night at the lighthouse after killing Ghilan’nain and before confronting Elgar’nan. Davrin will come to check in on you and help you unwind after your unintended journey through The Fade. After blowing off some steam in the horizontal fashion, Davrin will ask what you think is next for the both of you together. You can envision domestic bliss, a small time life of adventure, or say come what may.

This is effectively the end of your romance with Davrin, but he will have a chance to give you a final pep talk as a partner in between the phases of the final encounter with Ghilan’nain.
