I am on the Broodmother boss battle (which is pretty much impossible for me), and when I try to manipulate my party members to stand in certain locations and attack, it all falls apart, as they don't do what I need them to, or they just stan and don't retaliate. I am unsure how to command these morons to actually do something. The boss battle is hard enough without any potions, but now I don't know how to set them up.

Questions are the following.

How do you command your party members, or specific ones, to stand in a certain location?

How do you command your party members, or specific ones, to attack a certain enemy?

Thanks in advance Image IPB

Question 1 Answer: You have to make them all stand together by using hold position in the radial menu and place them individually by yourself.

Question 2 Answer: Tactics menu set whoever to attack a mage, elite etc can set them all to attack same type of you wish .

Also in tactics you can change how they behave aggressive, cautious etc hope this helped a little.

Do you have Wynne in your party? If not, just leave that quest in stand-by and do the "Tower of Magi" one in order to get her. Having a dedicated healer in your party makes things much easier.



As for the battle itself, here's how I did it: give the "hold position" command , move Leliana and Wynne to the back and have them targeting the Broodmother with arrows and spells (great area spells like Inferno work really well); use a tank and your own character (I used a Arcane Warrior) to take care of the minions. Move them manually, concentrate in defending Wynne and Leliana from minion attacks, pay attention to your characters health and it should be a easy battle.



If you're still unable to defeat the Broodmother, do some other quests, gain some new skills and equipment and come back later.

You need to set the party to 'Hold Position' if you don't want them running around. To do this, open the radial menu, select Advanced, then select 'Hold Position'. Warning here, setting the party to 'Hold Position' will mean that melee characters will not attack unless you explicitly tell them to do so.



To attack a specific enemy, open the radial menu, select a target using the directional buttons, or select a target by using the right analog stick to focus on the intended target, then press X. Your selected target will have a sword icon to their names to indicate that you have selected them as your targets.Pressing R1 and L1 while the radial menu is open will cycle through your party members. So to set another target for another party member, just cycle to them from the radial menu, and select their target.



This is all in the PS3 manual of the game though, read up.

Also regarding the boss battle, you might not need Wynne at all, that is as long as you have potions. I finished this battle on normal mode with my warrior tank, Alistair, Leliana (Archer) and Morrigan (with the Heal spell). Set everyone to attack the Broodmother, disregard the tentacles. If any other enemy shows up, have every party member switch targets to kill all. Then go back to focus fire on the Broodmother.

Ive found this battle a lot easier by killing the tentacles and other mobs first, and then the Broodmother basically just sits there being whacked at. I like having a person in my party with the herbalism skill and then just bring 100 flasks and 100 elfroots to make 100 lesser potions. Then you can set an AI with characters health lower than 25% to use a potion. This should help on the healing part. I use a mage to occupy most of the monsters in the area (with spells like blizzard and cone of cold (how I love that spell)) while I have 2 DDs killing tentacles (use abilities to shatter the frozen mobs) and a tank to pull mobs off my mage. It works well.

I agree!



Tentacles. Brood Mother. Minions. Tentacles. Brood Mother. Minions. Repeat until dead.



Definitely easier with a decent healer and proper tanks.



Make sure your tactics start with "attack nearest enemy" or equivalent.

Actually 'attack nearest enemy' should always be the last rule on anyone's AI tactics slots, this significantly lessens the amount of times characters stand there doing nothing lol.

Oh. Thanks. I was going with the FFXII tactics method or something...
