How to increase Emmrich’s approval

Those who prefer to romance Emmrich in Dragon Age: The Veilguard would do well to remember the following:

• Quest completion – If Emmrich can be part of your three-person squad, then he’ll gain an increase to his affinity whenever you complete quests. Of course, his personal quests grant boons, too.
• Necropolis Halls encounters – As a member of the Mourn Watch, Emmrich’s knowledge of necromancy is second to none. That’s why his approval increases whenever you take out foes in the Necropolis Halls. Moreover, two over-arcing quests–Hauntings and Pinnacle of Its Kind–grant affinity boosts, too. While your targets are in other regions, these quests are still from the Mourn Watch.
• Don’t be too freaked out – Emmrich’s fascination with the dead can be off-putting, to say the least. Still, you should try to be more mindful of his quirks. Here are some examples:
  • Choose positive, friendly, or funny replies whenever it concerns Mannfred, Emmrich’s assistant.
  • When prompted to speak to spirits, you should do so in a conversational manner.
  • Interact with skeletons on sarcophagi so Emmrich can attempt to commune with them.
  • Some companions may be disdainful of Emmrich’s practice. Encourage them to hash it out with Emmrich.

Emmrich’s personal quests

You can expect to tackle Emmrich’s personal quests below:

• Walking the Graves

• Arrangements
• The Sacrifice of Souls
• Will and Testament/Heir to the Dead

Emmrich’s commitment conversation

You can be firmly committed to your necromancer buddy during a quest called Arrangements. Your goal is to look for flowers in the Necropolis Gardens. Afterward, Emmrich brings you to the graves of his parents. Choose these replies:

• Positive: “Uh, hello.” / “Pleasure to meet you.”
• Commitment: “Never lonely.”

Emmrich will put on the charm. He and Rook will then be in a committed relationship, which means no more “heart” replies when talking to other companions.
