 I'm stuck, Its pretty hard and I focus all my guys on one Golem at a time even helping the guys that are on my side, I sided with the Steel dude not Branka. Well I can kill 1 Golem and thats it, they kill the two that fight with me, and my whole party. So there's Branka and 4 more Golems left......WOW

My characters are only lvl 13, did I get to this part too soon or something? Should I go back and recruit the other guys or do side missions? Unfortunately you only get 1 Quick Save slot so If I choose to go back I'll lose 2 hours of gameplay which would suck. Its on easy when I try this spot...its crazy hard for me, idk...I even have Shale in my group and he's usually a beast for me. 

Any tips? Hints? Glitches I can exploit? haha, i'm desperate at this point, i just want to get past this.

Use more than just one quick save slot. In this case, I'll have one save file created from when my party first entered the Frostback Mountains (before fighting the bandits), and then another one I'll use often before or after something important happens. I learned about the importance of having multiple save files the hard way after playing Oblivion, another buggy game.

Yes, you probably came to Orzammar too soon. Paragon of Her Kind is the toughest of the 4 treaty quests, and many people prefer to save it for last or 3rd. It helps to have a tank who is tough to kill and a healer mage who keep the heal spells coming. Usually by this point, my tank is around lv 20 and is wearing Wade's Superior Dragonbone Plate or Cailan's armor. I'm assuming that at level 13 your tank doesn't have either of these.

Just try to be persistent and take the golems out one at a time, making sure that everyone's tactics are set so they all attack the same enemy. It gets better though; after a few playthroughs, this fight will actually become fun, rather than frustrating (even on nightmare difficulty), as you'll know how to prepare and handle it better.

Make a new save file. You pull up the pause menu with save/load/options and etc. and pick a new file for your save.

I usually have 3-4 separate save files during any playthrough. I'll have one main save file that I use often, and then one from when my party first enters Lake Calenhad, Redcliffe Village, Denerim, Frostback Mountains and etc. That allows me to go back in the game without having to start all over from the beginning.

Oh yeah, I usually use Quick Save when I'm running though the misions, usually after every battle just in case I die I do not wish to have to kill the same ppl over and over. I pull up the Menu when I sign off from playing just to make sure it gets saved. I guess I will be using that option more often now.

I decided to load a previous save and go about doing other missions and just come back to Branka, I tried many times and the closest I ever got I killed 2 of her Golems and she had about 3/4 health left. I need to get stronger armor, weapons and build up my characters.

Unless your party has a mage or two with crowd control options, it's likely that the golems that fight with you will die. They're more of a temporary distraction, and I usually have my party start off fighting whatever golem isn't occupied with either of the "friendly" golems. Also, go after the golems with the lesser rank (their name will be in white instead of yellow), as they'll be easier to kill, and thus you can reduce their numbers faster. After that, just make sure that your tank has their attention and that you keep them alive.

While not mandatory, my typical party for this fight is Alistair, Oghren, Leliana, Wynne, while my warden replaces one of them depending on their class. Alistair tanks, Wynne heals Alistair and etc.
