As you complete the quest you will be given the choices between Illario and Lucanis. Your choices will determine your approval with your teammates. It’s nice to mention that there is only one correct answer for each question among your teammates. These are the following answers to those questions.
If you have chosen “His actions are unforgivable,” Illario will be jailed, and Lucanis will gain the following abilities:
- Veilguard Skill – Demon of Defiance: +50% increased critical damage and detonation damage for Lucanis. Abilities deal 25% increased damage to enemy targets under any debuff.
- Heroic Armor – Crow’s Tenacity : Ability damage is raised to 134%. The ability detonates, leaving all enemies hit within its area of effect staggered. For each additional enemy affected, it applies a 50% stagger buff.
If you choose to show mercy, you’ll receive the following bonuses:
- Veilguard Skill – Demon of Rebellion: Increases your Resistance by 10%, and boosts the party’s Barrier damage by 25%.
- Heroic Armor – Crow’s Poise: Grants 134% bonus ability damage. When you detonate an overwhelmed enemy, it triggers a second detonation on a nearby overwhelmed enemy. Enemies near this second explosion become more susceptible to necrotic damage.
