How to unlock the The Talons of Vengeance achievement in Dragon Age: The Veilguard - Definitive Guide
Throughout northern Thedas in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, there are 6 factions… 6 factions you’ll need to keep happy if you want the perfect ending (The Ones That Last (75G) achievement).
Now, there are numerous ways to earn faction reputation points:
- Firstly, by doing quests for them. Whether that’s main quests tied to that faction, side quests or even companion quests for the faction-related individual.
- Secondly, by selling valuables to the faction merchant.
It’s as simple as that.
The below is the list of quests that you get from in and around Treviso that you can complete for the Antivan Crows, all of which will earn you faction strength points. On top of that, all of Lucanis’ companion quests also grant Antivan Crows faction strength points too.
Also, it should be noted that you don’t need to max out the faction strength (3,200), as on multiple occasions the faction achievements popped for us when we hit the 3-star level (2,900).
- A City Blighted - If you chose to save Minrathous over Treviso.
- Missing in Action - If you chose to save Minrathous over Treviso.
- A Crow and a Gentleman - If you chose to save Minrathous over Treviso.
- Recalling the Lost - If you chose to save Minrathous over Treviso.
- A Slow Poison - Available after completing “Sea of Blood.”
- Bloodbath (main quest) - Chapter 9 main quest.
- Spies Among Us - Post The Dragon Slayer.
- Statuary, Fine Art and Antaam - Around the “Dragon Slayer” main quest (got it after in the save Treviso playthrough and before in the save Minrathous playthrough).
- Partners in a Dangerous Crime - After Fire and Ice - If you chose to save Minrathous over Treviso.
- For the Love of Treviso - Chapter 11 main quest.
- A Time to Kill - chapter 11 side quest which becomes available after you’ve completed the “For the Love of Treviso” main quest.
As an aside, while most of the factions are straightforward, there are 2 exceptions to that rule: the Antivan Crows in Treviso; and the Shadow Dragons in Dock Town, and that’s because of the decision you make in chapter 6: to rush to the aid of Treviso; or to rush to the aid of Minrathous.
Not only will that choice effectively change the area’s side missions, but it’ll also permanently remove the faction merchant from the HQ of whoever you didn’t choose.
The good news is that if you select to assist Minrathous, there’s enough side quests left in Treviso to take you over the 2,900 threshold (we reached it with a quest in Treviso to spare).
Once you get to 2,900 with the Antivan Crows, you’ll reach 3-stars and this achievement will unlock. As an aside, perhaps prepare a save before you do cross the 2,900 threshold, as like the companion quests, it can be a touch temperamental here too.
