Veracrypt rewrote my MBR; can't access debian bootloader

I know I'll likely have to permanently decrypt my windows system to revert to booting into the Linux bootloader.

Do any code-goats have advice on dual booting windows and debian with veracrypt on win and luks on lin?

Have you tried hitting escape at the Veracrypt boot prompt? That should fall through to the old bootloader (Grub).

I say should, as I have not tried it.

Yeah, that was the first thing I tried but it simply heads to the BIOS boot selector, allowing me to choose an alternative drive--however, the boot partitions are not listed, and the MBR chooses Win 10 exclusively with no option to get to Grub.
