Let's Play Dragon Age: Origins - Part 264: Freaking Hard Fight!

[odinnh1]

mindblast ftw?

[GAM3RZ1132]

*cone of cold* 1 shatter, 2 shatter, *pause* 3 shatter, tempest, then shale go's into tempest

[MJ1284]

This fight requires you to incapacitate those archers fast before they start spamming Scattershot. Fireball and Paralyze Explosion works wonders, they'll carry you through Nightmare :)

[piemaster3425]

if you had fireball I could see this game being much easier for you lol

[TalesofGirl4ever]

Jeez, I'm glad I coercioned my way out of this fight. But even so, the fight after that was still bad.

And it was on normal. I shudder to think of what this is like on Nightmare. *shudder*

[dargon80]

Where is this?

[AresNergal]

That's were I was happy to have a mage with lots of AoE and Wynne as a healer.

[AngryZuberi]

i did it behind the table

[RomanowRomanow1]

I'd dare to say u could use much more golem skills here. He must have some aoe or an earthquake one. [cant be sure i dont have him i play casual xbox version, no dlc]

[mrunposible]

@RomanowRomanow1 He has one continuous aoe, then onother that knocks back opponents.

[aaron75fy]

@poptartofdoom no thanks, it's hard enough on casual :(

[Vide0freak1]

lol 7:44 headless corpse falls while morigan heals.

[theREALtopdog]

My dwarf allistair and zevran were up front while morrigan just blasted away from behind

[yamassaro]

Toegoff, you're so hilarious!

Trying to run and getting ambushed was very funny! And starting complaining about it! just used an Inferno on archers and let my Arcane warrior tank the rest.

[sdlim8]

oh this part!! I really dread this fight too.. gosh.. I guess we can't always have the best of everything lol.. but I applaud your efforts!!

[bucky034]

what difficulty is this

[Toegoff]

normal

[bucky034]

really

imagine playing this in hard

that is why i like this game

[PopTartOfD00M]

@buck034 no try this on nightmare its bullshit

[PyroMancer2k]

@OrangeHat21: The game has a level cap of 25 but no one has gotten it without cheating. This is because there are only so many things placed in the world to gain XP on. Even random encounters aren't that random as there is a limited number of them.

There are a couple "exploits" where you keep getting quest xp for the same quest. If you use these before you get your other characters they will be leveled up already and have picked their own talents instead of letting you pick them.

[OrangeHat21]

Good tip, thanks!

[OrangeHat21]

To Toegoff and other watchers: When I get this game, are you able to go out and simply train and maybe make these fights later on a little easier as a higher level? 

Great Vids Toegoff!

[FlyThruDAir]

There is a finite amount of exp in Dragon Age. Some people say that you can grind by zoning from one area to the next on the world map, hoping for a random encounter, but I noticed that these fights reduced in number as I played. So, basically, no you can't really grind in this game.

[OrangeHat21]

Thanks for the help!

[thebexx]

Also some people will say "do a leveling glitch" on one of the first missions, where duncan sends you to get blood vials, DO NOT listen to them, it makes your game much harder as enemies level scale to yours after the introductory stage, also you cant pick talents, skills, and attributes of anyone except your first 2 characters doing this.

[OrangeHat21]

Thank you!
