After disrupting Evanuris’ ritual in the Arlathan Forest, Rook hears from a mystery informant in Treviso, who seemingly knows the location of the next ritual. Once you get to Treviso, however, you learn that the Antaam has somehow taken over the city. For the Love of Treviso inDragon Age: The Veilguardrequires you to travel to the city to meet with Teia and Viago in the hopes of learning the whereabouts of Elgar’nan and Ghilan’nain.
There are no consequential decisions that you will need to make throughout the quest. Furthermore, there aren’t any major fights, so you are free to choose any companions you want. We do, however, recommend someone who dishes out a lot of Necrotic damage, since all the enemies are weak to it.

Before heading toward The Butcher,turn leftto collectThe Writ of Free Commerce Mementoand enter the nearby room to findButcher’s Screw for Lucanisfrom a chest.
Similar to the Antaam we fought previously, the Butcher is alsovulnerable to Necroticandresistant to Lightning. He is also Armored, so you will need to get rid of it first. If you have someone who can deal Necrotic damage, it should help trivialize the entire fight.
He canbreathe fire in a straight line, which should not be hard to dodge.Whenever you are too faraway from him, he will try toSuperman-punch youto quickly close in the distance. This attack has a somewhat long wind-up animation, giving you ample time to dodge. If yousee him raise both his arms, it means he is about to doa stomp attack— sometimes in a two-hit combo.
Throughout the fight, try to avoid getting hit becausehis attacks can easily stun-lock youfor some massive damage. Also, do not forget touse your Ultimate Abilitywhenever it becomes availableto take away a chunk of his HP.At about 10 percent HP, the Corrupted Butcher will fall onto his knees and getstaggered momentarily. When this happens, rush in and press the on-screen prompt to finish him for good.
Before dying, however, he will divulge the name of the place where the gods are planning to hold the ritual. You will also learn aboutGovernor IvencI being a traitor, but we will deal with him another time. For now,return to Teia and Viagoto complete the quest.
You will get a fewFade-Touched Crystals,400 Gold,+250 Antivan Crows Strength,Executioner’s Blade, and an increased bond with whichever two companions you brought along for the quest.
