Dragon age 2: secret boss boss fight - Hybris - strategy HD(2/2)

This is me fighting the "secret" boss of dragon age 2 called Hybris (on nightmare ofcourse).
Warning: Hybris is extremely hard XD.

Setup:
I used Myself as a tank
Varric for high damage output and for the archers lance which is highly effective at killing the adds.
Anders ofcourse for his overpowered healing/shielding/buffing skills.
And merryl for cone of cold high burst damage which is great against the adds.
Strategy: Loads of tactics :s
start the fight by making sure that your tank gets a lot of aggro, taunt is ofcourse great for this. Always try to keep your dpsers in one group during the encounter, it helps you controll the adds.
The boss will spawn adds during the fight, 2 standard shadows 2 times in a row and then a fire demon, these needs to be killed quickly and preferably trapped in his next ability that i will explain later. Adds will spawn about every 15 seconds, and during the fight about 16 shadows and 4 fire demons will spawn before he runs out of adds.
The main tactic of the fight is Hybris main ability, he summons a field of light on the group which will activate after around 5 seconds, stunning EVERYTHING which enters the field for briefly 10 seconds. You can use this to trap the adds and the boss by kiting them into the field of light, i keep my tank in the field quite some time to cc the boss making sure that he does not interfere with my dpsers killing the adds.
The Fire demon NEEDs to be kited into the field, its simply to hard to kill it before new adds spawn if its not stunned in the field.
When the boss runs out of adds its basicly tank and spank, just watch out for his charge (it does no damage anyways :P).

Ill fill out the tactics later since i feel that this does not feel complete :s

sup troll,

pc grafics are much better than the console ones and you know that there are different kinds of grafic cards, don't you :o he obviously doesn't have the best one, but still a nice one to play the game fluently, right?

nice vid though, Merril could have been way more active, if you lack mana, just try to use bloodmagic over a certain period of time (;

playing on the pc does not look as smooth on console*

good job-i thought this was the toughest boss of the game. I think you could have used more of Merril's spells, but otherwise this was really nice.
