Cassandra has never killed a high dragon.

Killed a regular one though, with a dagger. And she was in her teens when she did it.

I'd consider Dawn of the Seeker 's details dubious as far as canon. There was one High Dragon fight in the Calling as I recall, Maric and a group of Grey Wardens (Including a young Duncan and the Warden-Commander of Orlais) took on one in the Deep Roads. One of the Wardens died and Duncan killed it by climbing it's neck, clinging for dear life as it whipped him around, and stabbing it in the head.

I don't think the dragon in the calling was a high dragon.

I will point out that the high dragon for which the dragon age was named decimated the orlesian countryside and Nevarran countryside and all attempts to slay them ended in failure, so I would say pretty dang impossibly hard.

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.


Yes, they are exceptional individuals, capable of feats beyond normal people. If you want an example of what happens when regular people take on a dragon, watch the cutscene where the Warden arrives on the roof of Fort Drakon. The Archdemon mows through a whole squad of soldiers. And yet the Warden can take on that threat backed by just three other fighters. (Or less; I know people who have soloed the Archdemon.)

I think it was, or atleast the way it's size was described made it sound that way. I don't think the term High Dragon was used explicitly thoug, no.

Usually it takes one named hero. An army cannot kill a dragon but if you have a name and a perspective... well... the fights already over.

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

Between the blight and the blood magic, Corypheus doesn't really count as a person, any more than an Abomination would.

I still think it is possible for there to be strength differences between High Dragons. I assume that the older they get, the bigger and stronger they become.

 

Imagine a 2000+ year old High Dragon, that is probably the type to decimate armies.

I guess Hawke doesn't count as a person either then since s/he kicked his ass :P

My headcanon for how Cassandra can kill dragons with a single stab is that all Pentaghasts are schooled on the finer points of dragon anatomy so they know where to strike to kill them quickly. :P

Well in reality it would be like trying to fight a t-Rex with a sword oh and the t-Rex can fly and breathe fire..... In game I should think it would take a large group of experienced fighters, with the help of mages and some large ballista machine. Maybe you would try wrap chains with the ballista around the dragon or something and then finish it.

Well, the Baroness was able to slay the Queen of the Blackmarsh on her own, but she was an extremely powerful blood mage.
