I am getting murdered by the Crows during the ambush where you meet Zervan. My first playtrhough, I was a mage with Fireball, and I beleive that Morrigan had Blizzard already.

I'm playing a a rogue this time, and apparently the ambush is occuring earlier than in my 1st play, cause; Morrigan doesn't have Blizzard. Net result : no good area affect spells for the &*()_$@^$ Crow archers.

What sets off this encounter? Can I somehow avoid it until higher level?

If not, any recommendations for this fight?:(

thnx

What's your party like?



I had Morrigan and Wynne with me when I hit this, I think I was level 11 or so. What worked for me was to drop Sleep on the group immediately in front of you, and Earthquake (one of Wynne's starting spells for me) on the 3 archers on the high ground. Walking Nightmare after the Sleep will help a lot if you have that too.

My first playthrough I was caught by surprise and died many times. Eventually I realized that the archers were causing problems, so I made all of my ranged damage dealers focus on them, and picked them off one at a time. You don't need a lot of ranged damage, just enough to be efficient.



If you're a Rogue with enough cunning, you can see and disarm traps. Some of them even before the cutscene, saving you a few extra seconds so that your entire party can run up the right hill and melee the archers.



Anyways, I don't think anyone reasonable would think it was a bad thing if you decided to turn down the difficulty a notch for one difficult fight, especially if it's preventing you from moving forward. Good luck!

First, check my signature for future posting for tactical advice. Fortunately, this fight is about kill order rather than any character based tactics.



My recommendation for this specific fight though is to look to your right immediately when the fight starts. You should see the ramp leading up to the archers on the right. Use the ledge of the cliff to block line of sight from all but one of the archers. Stay healed until the enemy melee arrives, at which point unleash your best stuff on them.



When the mage shows up, she's a priority. Focus fire on her even if it means that some archers may get some shots in on you. She should go down pretty fast. Hide behind the ledge again if there are still melee opponents.



Once the melee and the mage are all gone, finish up the archers.

your tank should be able to hold off all the guys on the ground. make sure you take out the enemy mage first. she's standing right next to zevran though so its easy.



the archers on the hills can mess you up if you don't attend to them. crowd control spells work. or you can just shoot them down with staves and arrows. just don't ignore them unless you've got good defense and healing.

ALWAYS take the magi out first . Magi wreak the most havoc and have the least amount of defence against a focused group attack. From that point on the kill order will be dictated by your party make-up.
