How to romance Davrin
- Gift: Display of Ancient Griffons (can be bought from the Grey Wardens merchant at Lavendel).
- Companion quests: How To Train A Griffon, The Cauldron, Cries from the Past, A Friend in Need
Davrin can be recruited by completing the 'A Warden's Best Friend' main quest, which you'll receive after fulfilling the main questlines in Dock Town and Treviso. After gaining Davrin as a companion, it doesn't take long to acquire his companion quest 'How to Train a Griffon'. During this quest, you can pick romantic dialogue options to show your interest in the Grey Warden.
If you're looking for a gift for Davrin, you can purchase the 'Display of Ancient Griffons' from the Grey Warden Faction merchant in Lavendel. To unlock this Grey Warden base you must first finish recruiting all 7 companions and start the 'Something Wrong' quest.
Technically, 'The Cauldron' is a story quest but it pertains to Davrin's background and is integral to his part in the story. You can acquire this quest after 'The Siege of Weisshaupt' and 'After the Storm'. 'Cries from the Past' can be acquired from speaking to Davrin after completing the 'Fire and Ice' main quest. You may need to reload the area or complete a different companion quest before returning to the Lighthouse for this one. After completing it, speak to Davrin again and he will give you the 'A Friend in Need' quest.
