Kinda stuck on the Broodmother during the search for Branka. I 'could' lower the difficulty, but that feels like admitting a failure. I play on Normal and my characters range from 10-12 in levels. I am a level 11 bard, I use Alistair, Oghren and Morrigan. Morrigan is built as a debilitator with the two most awesome hexes in the game.

The match started pretty well, with me popping lesser salves to up my nature resistance, then as the tentacles retreated I felt like it'd be a piece of cake, but then darkspawn were summoned and back came the tentacles. Despite my 32 cunning song of "stamina/mana" regen aiding my party I was slowly overwhelmed...

I tried again several times, but never had the same success again, and only got Broodmother to about 60% HP left...

Any advice?

1 hour *bump*

I find this fight extremely difficult as well. Once the tentacles spawned, I ran out of the area where they spawned so I could kill off the darkspawn one by one. The broodmother should not follow you at this point, so you could use the poultices you have. Then, continue to kick the broodmother's ass. This tactic worked for me. Good luck!

Would help to have a healer.

I did it on nightmare, not sure how to manage 2 melee teams but if you can to keep the non-tank melee alive it should be the same.

Basically keep your team in 2 groups, one group meleeing the broodmother, that group should do pretty good and will not need much attention from your part except a few heals from time to time. The tentacles willl most-likely go for your ranged group, those need to stay moving, forget about pure dps, don't stand there taking damage , keep moving and attack/heal only when tentacles give you a small break, you can "force" them to give you a break with a well-aimed cone of cold if need be. When mobile enemies come in, retreat imediatly and lure them away from the boss.

I'm stuck in the same spot only i cant even get as for as making the broodmothers health bar move, im stuck fighting with all warriors and no health potions...yeah. As soon as i beat away all the tentacles the first time i can fight the brood mother for like 30 sec before everyone in my party dies. It's getting pretty annoying...

It helps to have a couple of mages. I had Wynne and Morrigan, and while my melee guys battled the dark spawn and tentacles, the mages kept a steady fire from the staffs into the BM. Wynne healed as necessary, using group heal and the sustained health regen spell from the Spirit Healer line. My group was level 14 and I didn't close with the BM -- except once to see what would happen; I retreated back to the periphery once I saw there's more damage up close. I also kept my group on no free movement so they weren't running around all over the place. Having Wynne there keeping an eye on health was a big key.



So take her at range, and keep your melee guys back to deal with the dark spawn and tentacles when they're close to your casters. I really had to micromanage this fight, but I won the first time through with no deaths. Long and hard fight.

I killed her at range. Melee is impossible on normal against her, or, at least for me it was.

Use your warriors to protect your mages and/or archers.

[Berym_temp]

Eeeeeasy. Stand on the rock in the bottom left-ish, hug the back wall to avoid tentacles (they can't pop up through stone) range her to death but have Oghren waiting on melee to take out the darkspawn that are summoned.



Keep Wynne handy for group heal when the broodmother spits at you.



Easy



It was frustrating the first few times, though, until I worked this out.

[Berym_temp]

...Hmmmm. With your build, though? Difficult. Get onto the stone in the middle, maybe? Range the tentacles slowly until they're dead and then take on the broodmother with your fighters?

I had used Wynne, Lelianna, Oghren, and myself (warrior). It's definitely one of the tougher fights, but if you can form a good strategy and and micromanage well it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Heals are pretty crucial though whether from potions or a character.



My strategy that I used: I had Wynne and lelianna ranged attacking her essentially the entire fight aside from when Wynne was casting heals or buffs. When a tentacle popped up next to either of them, I'd simply move them 5 yards or so to the left or right. Oghren and my warrior stayed back out of the broodmothers melee range, attacking the tentacles that would pop up and the darkspawn that entered the room. Whenever there was downtime where all the darkspawn were dead and the tentacles went back underground for awhile only then did I use the two warriors to engage in melee with broodmother. It was a long fight, but very fun.

[sandofarms1]

i ranged the broodmother to death too.

The broodmother can't move, and her range attack is very weak with a small aoe area.

Stay in the back of the room and fight all the pops.

Amusing.. isn't coming to the forums asking for help an indication of your failure to do so? I hate to be "that" person, but don't be afraid of lowering your difficulty. 

Why do people have such egos, and always say that "they refuse" to lower the difficulty even though they can't get past a certain part. The easy/normal setting exists for a reason. Perhaps if they were renamed casual, or something less ego hurting, they would be used more often instead of the headaches they cause in other people. If you play for the challenge, then challenge yourself on your own without advice, before thinking you've admitted "failure". 

Sigh, I'm such an ****, but a tired one at that. 

[sandofarms1]

why lower the difficulty setting.

he's asking questions here to learn how to play better and gain knowledge of new tactics, not just so he can beat the game.

It's not an ego thing, it's trying to improve oneself to jump over the bar.



You don't resort to cheating on exams if you fail once, you ask your peers questions to improve yourself.

[SinisterJoint]

Doing brood at range where the tentacles cant get you is kinda an exploit imo .. but hey.. play as you wish =P

[Akuntakenta]

Go easy mode, stop making your gaming more miserable, games are made for fun, not misfortune. Besides, in the PS3 and xbox360 versions, there are no trophies for beating the game on hard modes.

Once you beat the game, you will want to play through it again, if you want to take forever to learn everything there is about the characters, their stories, and what happens if you say something different than the first time u played... you are in for added hours of frustration. Make your life easy, make your gaming more enjoyable, get over that "failure" feeling , its not like anyone's opinion of your gaming difficulty matters, its your experience!

THis gave me all sorts of trouble initially (had Morrigan, Oghren, Leilana with myself as warrior) till I had Oghren & Leilana stand in the centre with bows using Hold Position. Morrigan stood with them casting Inferno, Blizzard, Tempest and Fireballs as necessary (I switched back and forth between her and my main character to keep her mana level high and spells always active). My guy - he tooke down any tentacles that sprouted with few longsword/shield talents and took out any darkspawn that came in. Was very easy and found it hard to believe I'd had so much trouble.

[Discursion]

Get your ranged characters away from the tentacles that spawn next to them, kill the Darkspawn immediately as they appear, use the rest of the time to dps the Broodmother.



I did this on Normal and being grabbed by her didn't kill me immediately, so I managed to chug pots up, she only did it once during the fight through.



If she grabs a weaker character (I was in Massive Armour), and instakills them, I don't know what to suggest other than dropping the difficulty for her.

[Dungeon Raider]

On Hard I never even bothered moving the 3 in the centre... my character took down the tentacles himself pretty quickly and the darkspawn went down pretty easy too. Didn't use all that many health potions... maybe 2 or 2.
