If you read last flight you can see how hard it takes griffins to kill an archdemon.

I'll do like I did before level me and my group as much  as I can get the best armor for everybody! In DAI  i'll try to avoid the dragons until I'm leveled up unless you can't because it part of the main story!

No health bar goes for the dragon too, it should be possible in theory for someone to just dodge bite/swipe and jam their sword through it's eyes and out the other side, which I'm pretty sure would kill it instantly

 

People talk about dodging claw swipes and bites alot... but it's really not that simple.

 

And really though, as far as weapons go a conventional sword/mace (even the two-handed tyes) or whatever would be the last melee weapon I'd ever want to fight a dragon. At least give me a big pike.

[skjutengris]

I normally use a penstroke to wipe dragons out.

oh not text based?

[Aurok]

Depends how many health potions it has left.

[Jenaimarre]

Your group are the elite, have elite equipment, have elite training, are naturally eltie in their skills.  It's not far off lore if you ask me.

 

Yeah, I'm not sure about that. My elite squad of soldiers in XCOM challenge that. They had the best training and the best weapons and are the most skilled yet 6 of them can miss a single target with a calculated 80% chance to hit.

Pssh, High Dragons aint got nothing on a Sectopod.

Technically every dragon in Dawn of the Seeker was a high dragon but it is clear in the movie that some are bigger and more powerful than others. It is possible that dragons don't stop growing even after they reach High Dragon status. I also think Dawn of the Seekers was... an exagerrated account.

I don't thik all of them are high dragons. Most of them are probably mature dragons (like the one in DA2 act 1 bone pit) and there is only one high dragon. If I remember correctly the blood mage even gives the little girl explicit orders to "call in the high-dragon" before the biggest dragon appeasd. And Cassandra didn't kill that one, but it fought the pride abomination and then is somehow just never seen on screen again (so either it died or just flew away I guess).

I'm pretty sure Dawn of the Seeker is of ambiguous canonization. I don't think we should seriously claim that one person could solo a High Dragon.

The events of Dawn of the Seeker occurred...  The details are not to be considered exact though.

 

Consider it Varric telling a story...  Cassandra definitely played an integral part of saving the Divine, but she might not have hijacked a dragon in midair and used it to take down another one...  That could just be an addition designed to "keep the story interesting".

[LexXxich]

Considering some people were able to make it their business, and even almost killed dragons off completely, it's not that hard. Unless you want to have a "fair fight with magnificent creature", then it's very hard.

[Jester]

The facts are that those dragons were all big enough to be called High Dragons by game and lore standards.

Size of the Dragon has nothing to do with it being a High Dragon.

High Dragons are breeding females only.

 

The other thing is, that High Dragons are usually extremely large.

I think a magister of the order of Corypheus could probably kill a High Dragon in a one on one fight.

[Sylentmana]

I'd imagine it would be like trying to kill a flying fire-breathing t-rex. Just imagine if they had those in Jurassic Park.

[CrazyMooNew]

I imagine that its pretty difficult....but its a skill....I imagine that it would be incredibly difficult for a group/whatever to face a high dragon if they've never faced so much as a drake before...but Nevarra and Cassandra's family are well known for being dragon slayers, which means that if you're prepared and have experience...its manageable.

[Nattfare]

McGyver would kill a dragon easily with a piece of paper, a lighter and a rubber band.

[Lumix19]

It is said the the Iron Bull impregnated a High Dragon and out came the Archdemons.

 

You heard it here first folks.

I laughed at this more than I should have

[Peter_Stauffenberg]

Shouldn't it be almost impossible to kill a dragon in the open?  The main reason is that the dragon can fly and we can't.  A dragon knows how injured it is and can always fly away from the combat area when injured enough.

 

I really don't understand why a dragon would land on the ground to allow melee class PC's to hack at it when it can fly above ground and use its wings, tail or breath weapon.

 

Intelligent monsters or people not fleeing from a battle when seriously injured is a flaw in many RPG's. Battles would be much harder if enemies would try to retreat when they realize they will lose the battle. Then the leaders can use their henchmen to guard their retreat. Mages can use magic to withdraw etc.

 

I understand why retreat by enemies in RPG's isn't implemented. It would make completing quests much harder and random.  I guess it's the same with the Dragon Age dragons.  In "real" life they would be super hard to kill, but in the games you can expect kill quite a few. Players expect to have a fair chance killing the high dragons.

[Nattfare]

Those rubber bands are dangerous things.

 

Don't I know it, I almost took out one of my eyes with one once.

[Quaddis]

The Warden also could solo High Dragon

[thats1evildude]

The anime movie is canon, so it only takes a teen a single stab of a dagger to kill one.

 

Cassandra only kills large dragons. The high dragon itself is strong enough to survive a collision with another dragon and then take on the pride demon. (That proves too much, though.)

 

If we're talking average citizens, you need a small army and advantageous circumstances to take on a high dragon. However, the companions in Dragon Age are not average citizens; they're legendary heroes.

No they are not legendary figures. It is not stated anywhere that they are. Their actions and deeds become "legendary" later, but they arn't superheroes at all.
