To successfully pursue romances, players must discover the favorite gifts of their companions. It’s wise to check vendors located in major towns for special items that seem to have no other use. Each companion has a unique item they cherish, which can make finding the right gift challenging. Pay attention to companion dialogue for hints about their preferred gifts.
Gifts are sold by various Faction Merchants, suggesting that a companion’s favorite item may be linked to their respective faction. For instance, Davrin belongs to the Grey Wardens, typically found in the Hossberg Wetlands. Speaking with companions can provide hints that help locate their favorite items.
Even with additional context, it can still be tricky to identify which items from vendors are gift-worthy. To ensure you don’t mistakenly give an unsuitable gift, here’s a guide to each companion’s favorite gifts and their locations:
| Companion | Favorite Gift | Gift Location | How to Obtain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bellara | Elven Frog Figurine | Arthalan Forest | Buy from the Veil Jumper Merchant at the Veil Jumper Camp for 70 Gold and 10 Flawless Crystals. |
| Davrin | Display On Ancient Griffins | Hossberg Wetlands | Buy from the merchant there for 90 Gold and 10 Flawless Crystals. |
| Emmrich | Haunted Statuette | Grand Necropolis, Lower Hollow Belfry | Purchase from the merchant Vorgoth for 60 Gold and 10 Flawless Crystals. |
| Harding | Hinterland Oak | Dock Town | Complete "The Black Emporium" quest, then buy occasionally for 3 Etheric Remnants. |
| Lucanis | Antivan Tea Set | Treviso | Buy from the Treviso Merchant at The Centori Diamond for 90 Gold and 10 Flawless Crystals. |
| Neve | Collected Evidence | Dock Town | Available from the Shadow Dragons Merchant at the Pawn Shop for 70 Gold and 10 Flawless Crystals, depending on your choices. |
| Taash | Priceless Ancient Trinket | Hall of Valor, Lower Concourse | Buy from the Hall of Valor Merchant (Lords of Fortune faction) for 90 Gold and 10 Flawless Crystals. |
Gathering the necessary Gold and Flawless Crystals to purchase these gifts requires completing side quests or selling unused items from your inventory as you progress. Many locations with potential gifts unlock by advancing through the main storyline.
Acquiring any gift leads to a companion side quest, where you can give that companion the item purchased. Gifts can only be given in the Lighthouse area, so ensure you have the correct item when you return to this location. To initiate the gift-giving interaction, approach the companion and select the "Give Gift" option to trigger a brief cutscene.
The side quest concludes once the cutscene ends, often increasing your Bond Level with that character. Each gift presented raises the Bond Level by a quarter, allowing relationships to grow steadily. By discovering all the gifts available for companions in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, players can enhance their romantic pursuits or strengthen the abilities of their preferred allies.
