Here's my 5minute dragon run: http://www.youtube.c...h?v=pzb9aL95Ryg

If anyone is having problems with it I suppose I could give some advice

It's amazing what a difference a good build and set of tactics can make. During my last playthrough, I didn't have much problem with any of the bosses (time to increase the difficulty, again).

Beacon and Jifre (oh, and Bysmor, if you didn't squash him first) from The Awiergan Scrolls: Second Aspect were probably the worst for me. Xebenkeck and pals were a close second.

The high dragon isn't so difficult, once you figure out his weakness (frost). I usually get fire resistance up as high as possible for each party member, and use frost weapons, and it makes quick work of that silly dragon.

Are we talking about dragon in bone pit, who hurls fireballs without missing(before 1.03), right? He was easy on normal, but I couldn't kill him on hard. 
Now I'm replaying with 1.03 on nightmare.

Yep, that's the one. If you have your fire resistance up near 100, the fireballs shouldn't do any damage to you. It was almost laughable in my last playthrough, as the only thing that did any damage was the dragon trying to turn Fenris into lunch. I had to keep healing him and Aveline, but otherwise it was pretty easy; just drawn out.

first play through, the ancient rock wraith took me fooooooorever to beat. i was ready to kill my 360 but this was when i was a complete rookie at the game and didn't even have my team's abilities upgraded. once i did, it took two tries to kill the bastard. second playthrough, killed it within five minutes.

when it comes down to it now that i've played the game more than once, the high dragon for me is the most difficult because of the amount of smaller dragons thrown in.

Night Lies in Act 1 was very hard for me. Captain Qerth spamming the heath regen, 4 more waves, and the last wave has health potions.

My first playthrough I was destroyed because I'm still something of a newbie, and it took me a while to get used to character builds and the fact that you can't really going into a game like Dragon Age with guns ablazing. 

The Varterral and the Ash Wraith were probably the most difficult "boss" fights the first time around, as was the high dragon.  I always seem to have trouble with the mast random "normal" enemies though.  The first time I had to fight that saarebas with the cave full of Qunari, I had to reload about 5 times because I didn't have dispel magic and its electricity spell destroyed my whole party.  

And unlike Origins where Revnants and Desire Demons were the bane of my existence, they are a cake walk when compared to Rage Demons in Dragon Age II. 

The final battles with Orsino and Meredith shouldn't even be considered boss fights, because you have your entire party fighting with you.  I can usually get through those fights without using any potions.  I've never done the end battle without Anders, but I always pick him because I find the swarm of demons in templar hall more difficult than the actual boss fights.  It's those pesky rage demons, they'll be the end of me.

Night lies and xeb definately, you cant cheese with positioning on either which makes them very difficult and rewarding.

Confronting the Arishok as a Creation/Spirit Healer Mage without having any knowledge he would pretty much force Hawke to a duel, turned out to be quite horrifying.

That, and the 'Recently Opened Passage' fight have to be the ones I had most trouble with. Sharpe Highwaymen randomly joining in on the confrontation with Meeran was hardly pleasant either.

Ugh I'm suddenly reminded of the arcane horror on the first part of Sundermount mountain early in Act 3. Tried to keep the pressure on it to stop it from using some very powerful AOE spells but it took half a dozen tries before it actually worked.

Overall I consider arcane horrors one of the hardest fights, especially if you don't see them coming right away. Didn't have any real trouble with any proper boss. The ancient rock wraith can be locked in the center of the room by damaging it enough while it's recovering from it's special attack (the one where the entire room minus the area behind 4 pillars is covered in an energy attack). The Arishok isn't too hard as long as you can keep it at a distance (easy for archer rogues and mages ofc) while Orsino and Meredith pose no problem at all since you fight them with all your party members.

Huon. I don't know what I missed about how to fight him, but he just kept killing off my whole party with that blood vortex until I finally managed to interrupt him with enough stuns and such, (I play on Hard)

The Arishok and (Justice) Monster Spider bosses took longer, though. I turned the difficulty down to casual after a bit due to the sheer boredom (I was taking no damage but dealing very little) and to speed things up. Fortunately, I discovered that nearly any melee boss can be killed with a melee character by using a regular attack from a distance (rushing in), then retreating before the boss strikes. Aveline is especially good at this if you give her the ability to be immune to knockdowns.

The Arishock was the most difficult for me. As was the case with DA:O, by the time I got my character to the end, s/he was able to beat the end boss in his/her sleep.

EDIT: Oh, I forgot the high dragon. SHE was the toughest. Meaner than any Templar-controlled Tevinter golemns, that's for sure.

the Arishok duel and High Dragon pre Patch 1.03.
Don't know if playing 2H Warrior added to the difficulty of the fight. Who am i kidding, it definitely played a part. I can't kite when all hope is lost :(

But when created a DW Rogue, i went through them easily (with 1.03 Patch)

I'm playing on Nightmare.

Before nerf, the dude in the Deep Roads which two shotted pretty much anyone and was impossible without reducing dificulty.

After the nerf, the fight is actually accomplishing what it was intended to...it was still not a piece of cake, required awareness, focus firing and other things. It was fun.

Anyway lets see.....I did not play my 2nd and patch 1.3 playthrough beyond act 1 yet, but from what I've seen the hardest boss would be....

1) Hybris
2) The Revenants on Mountain
3) High Dragon

The boredom factor on the high dragon is a lot higher than the danger factor.

The SEcond Aspect of the Awirgen SCrolls was the toughest nut toss in the Monterous Spider in the deep roads at the end of act 1 for something that always seems to kill someone in my group.

The Ser Varnell fight.

SO MANY ARCHERS.
Ugh I had to go on an archer hunt to avoid getting turned into a pin cushion.


Oh Maker yes... I always hated that fight.

I like cheesy tactics if those tactics make sense in the setting.  The all ranged attack on the Broodmother in DAO worked really well, I thought, because it made sense that she would be immobile and tactically limited.


That works but kiting in general relies on the fact that the AI is so brain dead it follows you into obvious ambushes and funnels. In almost all cases the monster doesn't need to beat you, you need to beat him so there's no reason for him to chase you.

The High Dragon, Xeb and the boss in the Deep Roads in Act I were pretty hard.
