Wouldn't it be swell if you could forge Arch-Demon Armor using the corrupted flesh of an Arch Demon. So in theory it would resemble the exterior of Arch Demon. Much like the Collecter's armor from ME2 it should carry enchantments from the Old Gods own dark powers. I'm suprised Master Wade didn't harvest of any of the Arch-Demon's body parts to forge something exotic. He's a man that is akin to using strange, and wonderous materials to create legendary items. How cool would it have been if The Warden got to use an Arch-Demon forged weapon. Corrupted Dragon Flesh based equipment ftw.
Arch-Demon Armor.

Because, y'know, Darkspawn don't have a toxin radiating from them that turns their victims into mindless zombies along with a painful death.
Oh wait... they DO.

To be fair Unknown Warrior, the Thorns of the Dead Gods were still made despite them being infused with the blood of Toth.
But this does seem a bit like one of those "omfg this would be totally 1337" ideas on par with the Warden and Hawke high-fiving and then going off to kill the Maker.

Good thing Archdemons aren't Darkspawn then. If anything, they're Ghouls. But instead of following the Darkspawn, it's reversed. The Darkspawn follow them.
It's been said by Gaider that the only way for Darkspawn to be created is by being born from a Broodmother -- who are Ghouls.
As for the idea of Archdemon armor, eh doesn't matter to me.

Would like to see an arch demon weapon but armor? That would only make sense to me if it had some really big advantages but one or two disadvantages because of the fact that it would be corrupted by the taint. That would make it plausible.

The taint is still a lot more concentrated in an archdemon than in a darkspawn, regardless of what it's classified as. I don't know that it radiates from their hides so as to turn people into ghouls, but lore has it that even items touched by the archdemon are cursed and bring misfortune. Of course, that's probably a load of bull.The Ethereal Writer Redux wrote...

On second thought, considering corrupted lyrium, it's not actually implausible. Though of course, the Warden suffered no such consequences.

Well the warden didn't wear armor made out of arch demon scales but from one or two kinds of dragons scales.

Pretty much. I know the taint's more concentrated in them, but that in and of itself doesn't decree that they radiate the Taint.
Regarding the Thorns of the Dead Gods, I imagine that they don't bring misfortune themselves. As you said, it's probably a load of bull, considering the possibility -- which the wiki denotes as well -- that the Smith that created them and Hindsight may be the same.
It's probably just a case of really horrid luck being ascribed to having some significance to the items, when in reality they're two unrelated and purely coincidental factors.

Can't inanimate objects be dispelled of the taint. For example, during Merill's side quest/ foray she mentions she dispelled the reflective device by using blood magic. I realise the base composition of this particular material is inherently corrupted. Prior to the interloping into the Maker's Abode the Old Gods would be been un-corrupted. Perhaps it is theoretically possible to remove the inherent taint.

A Warden could wear it since they have the taint already. That would be some bastard tough armor!

Yes. Merrill used blood magic to amplify the healing magic she was taught by Marethari -- which in its unamplified state could combat the Taint -- and was able to cleanse the Eluvian shard of its corruption.
So it's possible to remove it from inanimate objects, but you'd have to learn Dalish healing magic and then use blood magic or lyrium to amplify its power.
Not easily done, but possible.

Why stop at wearing the bones of a dead monster when you could encase yourself in a LIVING DRAGON? The hero will be embedded in the creature's belly, his arms, legs and torso bound in fatty rolls of the dragon's own scaly flesh. But he would have no need of them, for THE DRAGON ITSELF would serve as his limbs! Only the warrior's face would be seen, and only so that the hero could revel in the terror of his enemies! (And also breathe.)

I just want some armor consistency with NPCs. Like MotA had with Orlesians.

For all we know, this discussion is moot in that the archdemon's body may have disintegrated in the huge explosion of light that we saw at the end of DAO. I don't recall hints in any of the game material as to what happens to an archdemon that dies, or if there is a collection of archdemon skulls hanging in the great hall of Weisshaupt Fortress.
In addition, the descriptions for Dumat's Claw and Spine say "Whether the blades were actually crafted from the bones of the archdemon is still in contention." So that can't really be used as an example.

I don't think it would be very good if they did it just for the sake of it...
Also I wonder how many High Dragons it would take to kill an Archdemon. At least two I think...

With the added benefit that technically, he's wearing himself (sort of).
