How to unlock the Death Becomes Him achievement in Dragon Age: The Veilguard - Definitive Guide
The 'Death Becomes Him’ achievement in The Veilguard relates to Emmrich, your Mourn Watch representative, and completing his companion missions. Simply check in with Emmrich at the Lighthouse as often as you can and you’ll start to trigger a number of events, from chats and conversations, to outings and companion quests.
You can do these whenever, but you need to turn Emmrich into a Hero of the Veilguard by completing all his thread by the end of chapter 11 (the point of no return). You can get conversations and the like to spawn by just fast-travelling somewhere else and then returning to the Lighthouse, so don’t be obliged to start these from the first minute.
Below are all the quests, conversations and their rough trigger points.
- Walking the Graves (Outing) - available after speaking to Solas in The Siege of Weisshaupt
- House of the Dead (Quest) - Speak to Emmrich when you’ve completed After the Storm to start this quest.
- After After the Storm, speak to Emmrich about adventuring - just need to let some time pass.
- Once again, go back to Emmrich to resolve his spat with Taash (after some time has passed).
- When the quest A Fighting Chance starts, speak to Emmrich about his trip with Harding.
- Arrangements (Outing) - Speak to Emmrich after completing the main quest Fire and Ice to start this quest.
- The Sacrifice of Souls (Quest) - Speak to Emmrich after The Words of the Wolf in chapter 11 to start this quest.
- Heir to the Dead (Outing) - Finally, once you’ve completed The Sacrifice of Souls, another quest will drop. In our case, because we saved Manfred.
- You can also check back in on Emmrich who’s talking about his crush with Lucanis.
- walking on graves
- house of the dead
- arrangements
- the sacrifce of souls
you'll face a decision at the end of "sacrifice of souls". Both options let you finish the questline, but you'll either get "will and testament" or "heir to the dead" as the last quest upon returning to the lighthouse and speaking to emmrich. This short finals quest unlocks Emmrichs legendary armor and the achievement. For reference, Harding was level 9 for me and I finished part 10 of the main story, always doing everything else availabe before progressing the main story.
