I think Varric would approve of Rook's line. Rook wants to honor Varric's benevolence but also bring justice to his death and all the atrocities Solas committed in the name of Mythal. This is why Rook mourns that it shouldn't have to end that way.
probably because as the player you have zero inkling as to what went on between Rook and Varric prior to the game. hard to feel that strongly about varric when it happens during the 10 years between Inquisition and Veilguard.
Such subtlety, such wits, such dexterity. Of couse an elven god of lies wouldn't recognize artifacts when someone spends a minute switch them with crude, clearly visible gestures.
@@vasemir Solas means "Pride", and we know that Wisdom spirits are prone to transform into Pride demons. Solas got full of his own shit, especially after getting the hell beaten out of him and with his goal right in front of his eyes. He couldn't conceive of a mortal outsmarting him in that moment in particular.
It's actually the most petty ending. Solas doesn't learn anything and you end up just like him. At some point, he might be able to escape his prison, and then this starts all over again. In the redemption ending Mythal, the woman who twisted him from his purpose to begin with, frees him from her service and he actually seeks atonement, leaving the Veil up on his own accord. And whether or not I can forgive him for what he did to Varric, it's kind of inconsequential, because Varric himself forgave him.
Solas was origonally a spirit of wisdom, note a spirit of wisdom if being corrupted and turn into a demon will be a PRIDE demon. It makes sense with his charecter the way he can sway from wisdom to pride at a whim almost
Watching him die was satisfying after what he did to Varric he called my Quanari Inquisitior a tool his friend his former companion he killed Varric I hated him ever since he got Varric killed this is my Canon Playthrough his downfall was my Favorite part of this "Varric taught me well and you killed him" my Female Elf Mage Rook final Middle Finger to Solas and his bullshit motives 🤣🤣🤣🤣😎🖕 Goodbye bald Egg 🥚 🤣
@@LARams4lyfe I've already completed all of the companion quests as well as the Solas flashback quests and unlocked the Mythal ending, in my Male Elven Rook walkthrough. Now all I have to is complete all of the Companion Quests in my Female Human Rook walkthrough and unlock the tricking Solas ending.
It could use a bit more of panicked "Solas, please, think this through! You don't want to do that! The entire world is counting on you" yadda yadda to make it more believable, but I guess it did the trick.
This ending is less payoff because it barely had set up. And you’re telling me he can’t tell the difference between the dagger he made and the one Emmrich made in two minutes? Okay.
I mean, it's not really out of character for Solas. His greatest flaw is pride, in his mind, no mortal could ever trick him.He's the god of lies after all and deception. All of the evanuris are defeated by their antithesis. Ghilan'nain creates life for monstrosities, but is killed by a mortals sacrifice, Elgar'nan demands the adoration of the powerful, but is undone by those with humble beginnings, and Solas has always used his aspect of wisdom for meticulous planning, but is defeated by acting hasty because of his pride.
@ I have no issue with that in general. What I have a problem with is the hasty set up and lack of understanding of their own character. Solas made his dagger. It’s like someone switching out a piece of furniture you made and replaced it with some Chinese knock off. You picked out the wood, sanded it down, put it together. You’re going to know the weight and texture of it. Even more if that piece of furniture sang a particular song within the wood. I doubt very much Emmrich could duplicate that. If solas was tricked by that fake dagger, then he allowed himself to be tricked on purpose. But that is an entirely different topic of discussion.
I got scared that he discovered it was a fake and felt dumb. I was thinking “Wait what if he senses the magic is off.” Then he used it anyway. Biggest sigh of relief
Its so stupid that we just wake up and our team hands us a perfect replica they made while we were away. And somehow an encient elven god cant sense that its not the original when its a one of a kind magixal dagger

He doesn't die, he just becomes trapped. For the veil to stay up it has to be tied to an elven god. Since Elgar and Ghilly were dead , that only left Solas to do it, but he insisted on destroying the veil which would flood the world with demons and spirits, so Rook had to trick him into binding himself.

Out of character? The same writer has been writing them for a decade, and solas is their favorite character. If weeks tells me this is what solas would do and say, they're the most qualified person to know.
"No, Varric did." why you didn't choose that after what he did is BEYOND me.
@@BuildN different players, different motives. Don't forget, a not small part of the player base doesn't like varric.

Despite all, this is the best ending in Veilguard. Tricking the elven god of lies is the best touch of irony

I only picked the redemption one because I wanted him to be part of the Veil willingly, so no trying to come out of it. But he deserves this.
@@vasemirsolas think rook is a moron and would have never thought about a fake dagger.

Nituce how the last thing Solas does is chuckle? Varric gavle him the nickname "Chuckles" because he never did.
This is the best ending without Solavellan on the table in my opinion
This is the best final for a rogue Rook imo.
And a Dwarf as well, The Evanuris "tricked" the Titans and made them tranquils, so now you avenge them.
Why doesn't solas have an army btw? What happened to his followers?
Most likely all dead. He was trapped in the veil for the all game while Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain were spreading the Blight and corrupting everything.
and he probably let them go after preparations because he didnt want to fail them again
He also could have got them all killed for something considering his past antics
@@madstan2563 And we aren't told anything about this beacause...?
He likely lost followers after he betrayed and murdered Felassan.
Tricking Solas is the best ending imo!

Does anyone know the name of the music that starts when Solas is grabbed by the Fade magic? It's so pretty.
It’s called “not the chosen one” and is more often than not Rook’s theme
@klemen680 thank you!
Do you plan on showing the ending with the inquisitor and mythal?
It's uploading now
done: th-cam.com/video/yHmTNoubL_0/w-d-xo.html
This is what Solas truly deserves
@@aneeqrehman2528 It's actually very satisfying to trick him, and watch him rage for a moment before accepting defeat

@@gamingwithgav161trust me fight him is hella satisfying
@@theelderworm9134 And on top of that, when Solas credits himself as the one who taught Rook, you tell him that no, Varric did.
what he would really deserve is to get locked in with the blight, but ah well, cant have everything
I like this ending so much.
So how do you unlock the whole tricking Solas ending?
complete every companions story arc fully. Get them to Veilguard

@@LARams4lyfe. That's not true.
I didn't do Taash and Neve's and I could still get this ending.

I'd have said "No, Varric did." NGL kinda wanna know how he reacts to that now

I must say... I like this ending. I like this a lot.
My future rougue Rook is going for that choice
In my part I have spill his blood like the blood magic
Solas, an hypocrite until the very end. This was so satisfying. Only good thing about the game.
Emmrich was a pretty good thing.
This would be such a satisfying ending, if the whole concept of the fake dagger wasn't so lazy
I got scared that he discovered it was a fake and felt dumb. I was thinking “Wait what if he senses the magic is off.” Then he used it anyway. Biggest sigh of relief
My headcanon is that it only works because it's so stupid it never occors to Solas you would try it.
Its so stupid that we just wake up and our team hands us a perfect replica they made while we were away. And somehow an encient elven god cant sense that its not the original when its a one of a kind magixal dagger
This ending is too thematic and ties directly into the Rook/Solas parallels to not be canon

Why this isnt considered the best ending ill never know, so satisfying getting rid of that pompous ass once and for all

Good riddance
The Veil should have come down in all endings this is just stupidly prolonging the inevitable.
This is so ridiculously out of character for Solas, it's insane.
Yeah
How specifically? Asking genuinely, Inquisition is almost 10 years old so I don’t remember specifically how he really acted in that
@@klemen680 He is the god of trickster, literally immortal and he can't see that the Rook is holding two daggers in this scene? It's ridicolous.

Solas and Elgarnan are same both prideful , Solas just pretends to be good
omg that's a horrible ending.
at least I’m not the only one that thinks so
