Lucanis Dellamorte is a fascinating character that players can romance in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. He is a key figure in the Antivan Crows, often referred to as the “Demon of Vyrantium.” While he has a reputation for being cold and ruthless, there’s more to him than meets the eye—he carries the weight of a troubled past marked by demonic possession and family legacy. Engaging in a romance with him involves accepting his complexities and helping him find self-acceptance.
Desiring redemption and a sense of belonging, Lucanis seeks more than just life within the icy walls of the Crow headquarters. Though he can be fierce and unyielding, he also shows unexpected softness and loyalty. However, be wary: if you betray his trust through your choices, you risk permanently closing off the romance option. It’s essential to navigate his storyline carefully, as he stands out among the potential romantic partners in DA: The Veilguard.
How to Romance Lucanis Dellamorte in Dragon Age: The Veilguard
Winning Lucanis Over as Your Romantic Partner
To romance Lucanis, you have to make some key decisions in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. The most crucial choice is to save Treviso instead of Minrathous after completing the “A Warden’s Best Friend” quest. Treviso holds significant meaning for him, and opting to save Minrathous strengthens Lucanis’s resolve against you, closing off any romantic pathways. Additionally, several dialogue options will greatly enhance his affection towards you. The table below outlines important decisions and the appropriate responses.

Beyond the above interactions, avoid making careless mistakes—saying something inappropriate about his demonic possession can close the romance chapter altogether.
To increase his affection, it’s also effective to bring him along during quests. For example, having him join you for the “A Slow Poison” quest will show him you value his presence.
A simple way to raise any companion’s affinity is to involve them in several side quests. These tend to avoid scenarios that could upset the companion and hazard your relationship.
Lucanis values straightforwardness and appreciates an unpretentious demeanor. You can win him over by matching his straightforward approach and making tough, nonchalant conversational choices. Steer clear of overly sentimental or naive remarks, especially early in your interactions, since they can cost you affinity points. While he does appreciate your listening ear concerning his struggles with Spite and his burdens, avoid being overly sympathetic or showering him with insincere compliments. Below is a list of decisions that can positively impact his affection:
- Sea of Blood: When Lucanis requests some time, opt for “Welcome to the team.” Avoid probing or asking questions like “Should you be alone now?“, as it won’t sit well.
- The Siege of Weisshaupt: When given an order by the First Warden, choose “Well, I tried talking” (aligns with Lucanis’s appreciation for action). Later, respond to him with “We fight to the end.”
- After the Storm: Show concern for him by saying “You’ve upset Lucanis” to indicate your attentiveness. Don’t criticize Antivan coffee.
- Blood of Arlathan: Choose responses that keep the focus on your mission, like “That’s why we’ll win,” “Job’s still the same,” or “Be ready to go.”
- For the Love of Treviso: Stand with the Crows by stating, “I stand with the Crows, too.” Skepticism towards the Butcher aligns with Lucanis’s values as a Crow.
- Bidding Farewell: Offer practical help with “Tell us what you need.” Ensure you don’t belittle Illario’s concerns.
- Bloodbath: Opt for “It’s over, Zara” to affirm your support of him. When he shows vulnerability later, say “It doesn’t change how I feel.”
Show understanding of his struggles but keep your focus on practical solutions, demonstrating your strength. He admires those capable of being decisive when needed. Also, avoid disparaging the Crows, as this is integral to Lucanis’s identity. Don’t hesitate to engage him in discussions about his family or love for coffee, as these topics open him up to share more. While it may seem intricate, everything tends to fall into place if you make an effort to understand him.
Should you complete the individual questlines for Neve and Lucanis without initiating a romance with Lucanis, they will begin a relationship on their own. You can witness their evolving romance during scenes at the Lighthouse, assuring you that they find happiness regardless of your decisions in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
