Hi guys. So I am in the middle of trying my first Nightmare play through. I'm playing a AW/BM (which btw is so overpowered lol) Truely only 1 or 2 fights have given me a headache but Gaxkang is my worst enemy.

Wha are everyones favorite tactics vs Gaxkang. could be your companion choices to the most effective spells/abilities against him.

Thanks for the help guys.

Go with enough Dweomer runes and Spell Resist gear, and you can have enough time to choose your own options with or without Shimmering Shield, IMO.

For some reason I never could kill him with mana clash. I have one-shotted every other mage in the game with it. But this guy? 250ish damage. Woohoo! Must have been doing something wrong. That's with every single point spent on Magic and two hexes on him, by the way.

Spell Wisp+Spell Might Active.
Cast Vulnerability Hex and Affliction Hex on him for x2 Damage from magic.
Mana Clash = Dead

I know. I think I just keep getting resisted somehow. It's annoying. Had to beat him the old-fashioned way instead.

Wynne + Morrigan, both with Tempest, and all the lightning spells they have otherwise, with Wynne minoring in healing, and Morrigan keeping her own health sustained with Drain and Health Poultices. Shale, with lightning crystals equipped, and an archer with Andraste's arrows.

Thanks for the advice guys. My current party doesn' have mana clash but I did finally manage to beat him after hours of bad language. My problem seemed to be just getting enough dmg too him. Some of the tries were very long.

to be honest i dont know how people solo him on nightmare without mana clash because hes insane



i just did it 10 minutes ago on my 3rd try. first 2 times it got resisted...third time vulnerability hex plus mana clash did 2k damage bringing him fairly low (i only have 105 spellpower)



in mage form he resists EVERYTHING and is constantly freezing/dispelling you



mad props to whoever solo's him w/o mana clash lol

Glyph of nuetralization nueders him quite a bit, but unfortunately it would also do the same to a arcane warrior who steps in it
