    VeraCrypt is working fine for me on Arch, but I cannot choose a custom mount directory.

    I chose my .hc file, clicked on 'Mount' and then clicked 'Options >', and there is a place to choose the mount directory at the bottom (see screenshot).

    But it gives an error: "fuse: failed to access mountpoint /mnt/mylocation: No such file or directory"

    I tried creating that directory with sudo mkdir /mnt/mylocation and giving it 777 permissions and/or owned by me, and then the mounting works, but it's still in /mnt/veracrypt1, so it basically ignored the custom mount directory.

    Am I doing something wrong?

    There is no problem, it still mounts as you want it. Look at the output of lsblk -f and mount.
    This screenshot explains mount points:
