A guide on hunting the heart of a Grey Warden.
If there’s one thing a Dragon Age game (almost) never goes without, it’s a romance with a Grey Warden. Dragon Age: The Veilguard won’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.
Davrin is an elf who was originally raised in a Dalish clan but left in his youth to pursue a life of greater adventure instead of being constantly surrounded by history. He became a tracker and hunter and later a Grey Warden, finding the purpose and sense of adventure he craved in fighting the blight. When you first meet him, Davrin is a bodyguard to a griffon cub, one of a very small number that the Wardens have rediscovered and are hoping to repopulate within the order.
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 DavrinHow to romance Davrin
Here’s the shorthand on how to romance Davrin:
Support the Grey Wardens when possible
Back him up when he’s being firm with Assan
Davrin doesn’t seem to prefer any particular tone of dialogue and it’s often just down to context—go for things that seem direct and confident
From the Veilguard companion gifts, pick up Davrin’s from Warden merchant for an approval bump
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.Davrin romance scenesOuting: 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.
