How to Romance Lucanis in Dragon Age Veilguard

Wondering how to romance Lucanis in Dragon Age Veilguard? Lukanis is an Antivan raven with a dark past and an even darker alter ego. This lovable scoundrel known as the “Mage Killer” has a complex history and a softer, coffee-loving side.

As one of the seven romantic companions in Dragon Age Veilguard, you can start flirting with Lucanis almost immediately. Here’s everything you need to know to connect with the killer, including key dialogue options and romantic scenes.

How to start an affair with Lukanis

• Present: Antivan tea set (available from the Crow merchant in Treviso).
• Related quests: “Coffee with Crows”, “Bloodbath”, “Inner Demons”, “A Murder of Crows”.

Loukanis can be recruited by following the quest chain in Treviso and completing the quest “Sea of ​​Blood”. After being recruited, he offers the companion quest “Coffee with Crows”. Like Niva, be sure to complete this quest before completing “The Warden’s Best Friend” and recruiting Davrin, otherwise you may lock yourself out and miss out on the opportunity to get close to him.

Loukanis spends time in the storage room behind the lighthouse dining room. Come back here after completing the main quest chains to see more dialogue and cutscenes with him. If it’s available, it may have a speech bubble or exclamation mark on its icon on the map.

The Bloodbath quest is technically a story quest, but it is specific to Lucanis and he must be in a party to complete it. Bloodbath becomes available after the Siege of Weishaupt. His final two companion quests – “The Demons Within” and “A Murder of Crows” – will become available after completing the main quest “Unwanted Guests” in Arlathan.

Interestingly, you may not receive the “Demons Within” quest and instead proceed to “A Murder of Crows” if you decide to rescue Minrathos above Treviso.

Key points for consolidating a romance with Loukanis

One key point to consider when romancing Loukanis is about 15 hours later. After recruiting Davrin through the quest “The Warden’s Best Friend”, Rook is forced to choose between traveling to Minratos or Treviso to provide the city with some assistance. If you choose Minratos instead of Treviso, Loukanis will leave Beacon temporarily and then return once Emmrich and Taash have been recruited.

Upon his return, Loukanis will be “hardened”, meaning more points will be needed to increase his Bond rank. He will also be stripped of his healing abilities, and some of his more aggressive combat abilities will be buffed.

While Neve can still be romanced if you rescue Treviso, I was unable to get more flirtatious dialogue with Lucanis after rescuing Mintratus, and was essentially locked out of an affair with him. I went through both scenarios and after 40+ hours he still hasn’t offered any of the above romantic options. As such, I recommend saving Treviso during this quest if you want to romance Lucanis..

Key moments for starting a romance for Lukanis occur after completing the story quests “Blood Bath” and “Cauldron”. After that, talk to him at the Lighthouse. Another interaction with Malice will follow, after which you will have the following dialogue options:

• I don’t mind: Express romantic interest in Lukanis.
• I’m sorry: Stop the possible romance with Lukanis.
• It could be worse, right? Stop the possible romance with Lukanis.
• Don’t be so damn proud: Stop the possible romance with Lukanis.

If you select the “I’m OK with it” option and then select “I like disturbances,” you won’t be in a relationship right away, but the flirting can continue, and Loukanis’ signature bond rating will be “Flirting with Danger.” .

To fully immerse yourself in the novel, you need to reach a point in the story where you have completed the main quest “Unwanted Guests” in Arlathan and received the quest “Demons Within”. (Make sure you load the Beacon area until you see a cutscene of Emmrich and Loukanis talking to Zary dead body).

Once you complete “Demons Within”, visit Lucanis in the kitchen and he will offer the following dialogue options (if you choose to save Minrathos, you will not receive either the “Demons Within” quest or the chance for this dialogue):

• You’re darling, you know: Start an exclusive romance with Lukanis.
• You are too talented: Stop the possible romance with Lukanis.
• We don’t pay you enough: Stop the possible romance with Lukanis.
• Thank you: Stop the possible romance with Lukanis.

Once you take part in Lucanis, his title in the Companions menu will change to Dancing with a Demon and you will no longer be able to explore other romantic connections.
