I guess there are probably certain spells u need to beat this guy, but I realize its alot harder to beat this guy as a mage rather then being a warrior or a rogue lol. Just wondering if anyone has done it yet. And if u did what tactics or stragdey did you use to do it. I havent beaten the game yet, so ya'll can keep the info to just act 2, I'd really apericate it.

[Cat Fancy]

It's true that it was a lot easier to do this as a rogue, but it still only took me one try. Ice magic is your friend, as is anything that slows him down. He's also weak to nature spells. Also, mage auto-attacks, while adorable, are annoyingly slow at the end of a sequence. No denying it takes longer, though, unless I'm missing something.

It's hard but not impossible, I beat him in hard difficulty in my first play through as a mage. I had upgraded petrify, horror, glyph of paralysis etc spells that I used to hold him a place. It was a pretty boring encounter. All I did was lock him in a place with a spell and then nuke him (like chain lighting, spirit strike or golems fist), when the lock spell (e.g. horror or petrify) wears off, I would just run around in a circle until the next cool-down

My mage was lightning/entropy/spirit healer. So yeah I gave up on that. Qunari are immune to lightning on nightmare. My staff at the time was lightning as well. Basically, stone fist was the only thing I had that could hurt him. Obviously as a spirit healer he could not kill me but I gauge it would have taken me about 30 minutes of kiting to kill him. Not enough patience.

[Chiramu]

I beat him as a Spirit healer. I just ran around the arena firing Winters Grasp whenever it was off cooldown. Plus the doggie helps out .
I looked so pathetic XD.

[RedBird56]

Its hard but not impossible. Ice and area of effect spells are you friends. Also be sure to have a healing spell. Don't try and shoot him for too long, you need to move a lot, so move, take a few shoots and use a area spell.

[TeamLexana]

I did it. Just took alot of running around in circles. Best thing to do is to wait till he does a speed boost thing and gets stuck in a wall or one of the pillars (lol) then toss a "don't move" spell of any kind on him and then wail the dps as much as you can before it wears off, then run around some more, rinse, repeat, lol.

[NoAngel89]

lol alot different and less epic then the trailer lol XD. I guess it be the worst time to be a blood mage around this guy, considering u dont want to lose health near this guy. If thats the case Id have to respec all my talents, wonder if thats possible in DA2

anyway thank you guys for the help ^^

I set the difficulty to Casual and used Gravitic Sphere to slow him down. Then I kept slinging fire and ice spells at him until the Gravitic Sphere ran out. After that, I went running around pillars until the Sphere became available again. I also kept the dog active.

Even so, it was a nightmare. Took me 10-15 minutes - on Casual !!! - and he got me with his skewer attack once. I could probably have done it on Normal with more patience but this fight is so unforgiving of mistakes that I didn't bother. Next time, I'll see how my "unkillable mage" build fares against him.

Yeah, I found it surprisingly easy, it was easier as a Mage than a warrior, then again my Mage is level 50

[SuicidalBaby]

yes with a regular old mage, 15 mins
horror, hex, walking bomb, wintersgrasp, crushing prison, cone, petrify, stonefist, nature staff, no dog

[Zing Freelancer]

He was pretty easy on Hard.
As soon as I understood his attack pattern, it was dodge, freeze, fire storm, prison ect.

Be watchful when he is getting low on health you should save a stun to stop his healing.

[Shepard Lives]

Cone of Cold and Winter's Grasp. Time-consuming, but perfectly doable.

Casting Tempest/Firestorm and then kiting him around the room also helps.

[Haasth]

I beat him the slowest way possible with a defensive/support Mage.
..Took so long.. Not once did I feel like he was that much of a threat though (Except for those occasional moments where he almost one-shot my Mage) Had a semi-bad build on my Mage at the time.. Certainly not the best equipped for dealing with the Arishok quickly.

As all my party tend to die quickly, I was always soloing. three staff hits, run, three staff hits, run, spirit bolt, run, cold, run. Arishok chugs a potion that restores 75% of his health.
Sigh...

[Maria Caliban]

Yes. I played a spirit healer/elementalist. The Arishock was immune to fire. It took about a half-hour of me constantly running, tossing my two freeze spells, and auto-attacking.

[Rovay]

Yes, it's possible. I continously spamed Winter's Grasp, Crushing Prison, Spirit Bolt and Hex of Torment for about 20% of whole fight. The other 80% was me running away screaming like a little girl...

[Lulia]

I did it and it was much quicker than as a warrior. I just slowed him and did a lot of running around pillars waiting on cd's.

Once i actually managed to freeze him and got a load of damage off.

If he caught me, i did nearly die in one, but not too hard to avoid him

[naledgeborn]

Force Mage. Gravitation Ring. Winter's Grasp. Crushing Prison. You'll never win in a staright up battle. Focus on dodging and making him look stupid.

[Hunter Stenwulf]

so basically just cast your spells, kite and wait for cooldowns, rinse and repeat? gotcha.

that sounds boring though. I bet it took people in here close to an hour to kill him, especially on hard/nightmare.

[x-president]

I beat him with my mage on hard.  I thought he was really easy if you kite.


I only used Winter's Grasp, Stone Fist, and Petrify.  Winter's Grasp is the money maker.  I usually got around 700+ per hit and would freeze him 99% of the time and anytime he didn't freeze he would slow down.  Petrify would lock him down every time.  Stone Fist would get around 225+ with every hit.

Basically I just used kiting and hit him with one spells at a time.  Whenever he did his charge attack I would just avoid and cast a spell.  My main spell was Winter's Grasp and sense I wasn't constantly blasting spells I really never needed a lyrium potion till the very end.

Once he finishes all his health potions it's pretty much downhill from there.  I think he drinks 3 every time.



I used a spirit staff, but I think if you had a nature of cold staff he would be even easier.  I would say the fight lasted maybe 30 min or less.  I didn't time it so I couldn't be sure.  It didn't feel that long.

o_O Mage has the 1v1 duel the easiest of all classes (Not including rogues who exploit the decoy bug, but that hardly counts). The Arishok is able to be glyph/frozen/petrified/mind blasted/gravitic ring/entropic cloud/ and pretty much every AoE there is that debuffs a target. And the simple fact that you aren't in range of any of his attacks while you attack him.

I beat him much faster as a rogue than as a mage. His melee attacks aren't that hard to dodge as long as you don't get greedy. All I had to do was pop Assinate whenever it came up. I'd fully upgraded Speed, too, which was entirely unnecessary. If I had Keen Strike it would've been even faster.

What type of glitch did you encounter.  DA2 is pretty glitchy but what did you do to get something like that.

There's a glitch where you can keep cashing in those collection quests by mashing whichever button gives them the item and completes the quest. You'll keep getting exp and gold like crazy XD.

It only works on a quest where there's no dialogue. So like, the paragon's toe quest. : P
