1. Corypheus was the hardest boss out of the entire first two games of Dragon Age I and Dragon Age II.

 

2. And of course he's the most powerful wizard in the world. He's frigging immortal and a Tevinter Magister from the Golden Age of Magic when they literally assaulted Heaven.

 

Who is stronger?

You might say there's no indication he's that powerful but Alexius and other great Tevinter mages all bow down to him like he's a god and we see him mind-enslave all the mages as well as the Wardens.

Something no other wizard has ever approached doing.

Considering the only way to kill him and make it stick was to kill his pseudo-archdemon first, I'd say Cory was up there on the power-scale.

But it wasn't an Archdemon. If anything, it was a horcrux.

[EmissaryofLies]

He was also misunderstood; he wanted to guide the people, to give them purpose!

Lol no. And gameplay/story segregation

 

2. And of course he's the most powerful wizard in the world. He's frigging immortal and a Tevinter Magister from the Golden Age of Magic when they literally assaulted Heaven.

That does not make him the world's "most powerful wizard." It makes him a darkspawn. 

 

 

 

Who is stronger?

Any archdemon, any Solas, any ragtag witch named Flemeth.

 

 

You might say there's no indication he's that powerful but Alexius and other great Tevinter mages all bow down to him like he's a god and we see him mind-enslave all the mages as well as the Wardens.

 

Because he was from Tevinter and because he used a spell that bound Wardens to a demon, not to himself. 

Something no other wizard has ever approached doing.

Neither did he. 

[TheJediSaint]

Hence why I used the word, pseudo.

[Willowhugger]

Only two other mages have enslaved dragons too.

So I'm going to say Corypheus is up there too.

Solas and the Archdemon don't count because they're gods.

Ditto Flemeth.

You are just itching for a fight, aren't you?

My thoughts on Cory...

Spoiler

Sorry, I don't actually know what pseudo means. 

[EmissaryofLies]

Corypheus is also an original gangster.

 

Flemeth/Mythal is a nosy meddler and Solas is a f*ck up bitter know-it-all.

[Master Warder Z_]

any ragtag witch named Flemeth.

 

Ha; No.

 

I'll give Cory that.

 

In terms of power it seems he's far more durable, far stronger and ironically enough? Even Older.

[Han Yolo]

Coryphefish felt like a loser to me. He got that super badass introduction in Haven and everything went downhill from there. 

Never again did I feel any dread regarding him, it never felt like I was losing ground to him again. It rather seemed like he was always one step behind me. As a last attempt he lifts some ruins in the air and spits some insults in my direction and then dies. Really fast. Yeah. 'Twas underwhelming.

[Master Warder Z_]

'Twas underwhelming.

 

No more so then the big corrupted dragon running away, summoning minions, running away again and summoning more minions before dying.

 

._.

[Br3admax]

Ha; No.

Gameplay.

Story.

Segregation.

 

It's like thinking it actually takes 12 swings of a sword to kill a common bandit because that's what it took in game. 

You are just itching for a fight, aren't you?

It has nothing to do with a fight. It has a lot more to do with the statements being made in it are blatantly wrong.

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

Corypheus? Blah blah blah. Just another evil dark lord bent on becoming a god. Fortunately his mind is failing. His death by speech will be his undoing.

[Han Yolo]

What dragon? The Arch Demon? Yeah, he was underwhelming too, but at least he got a proper build up.

How are these statements wrong? How are these opinions, wrong? What, because they differ from yours? Because you're always right all the time, your opinion is the only one that is correct?

 

I hate people like you. Think you're so high and mighty because your opinion correlates with the general consensus.

No, the opinion that Cory is the most powerful wizard in the world because he's immortal is kind of wrong because his immortality has nothing to do with him being a wizard. Cory is not the most powerful boss fight of any Dragon Age game, because he doesn't have the most health nor does he deal the most damage. It's stated in game that the magisters wanted Cory to restore Tevinter, not that they bowed before his power, and the fact that the Wardens are bound without Cory even being their or influencing it is stated in game. They aren't opinions, they're facts. You can hate logic all you want, and you can't hate me all you want. No shits will be given, and life will go on. Take the chill pill, and put be on ignore. 

[Willowhugger]

Gameplay and Story Segregation exist but are not absolute either or we can't assume any of the story actually takes place. :-p

You're more or less just listing how he does things, not that he's not incredibly powerful for doing so.

"No, he's not strong. He beat Conan in a fist fight by punching him."

[Itkovian]

I had no trouble taking him seriously, you just have to actually put yourself in the role... the writing and cinematics and lore makes him terrifying enough.

 

Anybody can throw suspension of disbelief away and just pick apart any character in ANYTHING. Heck, that's the very reason for TV Tropes' existence.  That doesn't mean the character is poorly written. You can give Hannibal Lecter the same treatment, but you'll be the one ruining your experience.

 

So, no, no trouble here, and it makes the story that much more enjoyable.

Well I'm not going to put you on ignore because that would be petty. You do post some good s***.

 

I'm just saying. He's the final boss, he should have felt as such. Put logic in wherever you want because I am done with this argument.

 

I felt he was a **** way to end it, based purely on the fact he was easier than some of the stuff I had faced at level 11. My play through was on Nightmare. It felt like every enemy was tougher than the last and the final fight, was a walk in the park. Disappointing.

 

So disagree. Clearly you are more capable than me to see the bigger picture.

Gameplay story has a lot more to do with the combat system of a game, which is where this boss fight took place. 

You're more or less just listing how he does things, not that he's not incredibly powerful for doing so.

"No, he's not strong. He beat Conan in a fist fight by punching him."

None of them are done with his actual power, which is all that matters in a boss fight with him where you claim he is the most powerful thing seen yet as an enemy. Loghain ruled half a country, and none of that factored into the duel which he very much lost just as any normal man would. Alistair didn't use his kingliness to defeat the Stenishok. He used skill. Going by your logic, Alistair should sneeze and people should fall over and die.

Fine, fine. I don't disagree with that. I, however, am not going to judge him by his boss fight, but more by the character he presented. I would have also like Cory to be a challenge, but he's not, and for several reasons. Story-wise, there's no reason Cory should be godly, especially after he expended so much energy tearing the sky open, his power base destroyed,and  his dragon killed; thus I let it slide. Disappointment is fine, don't get me wrong, but it's understandable, to me anyway, and it's not worth tearing Cory down as a villain.  

[Hellion Rex]

Lorewise, I guess Corypheus was the most powerful thing we've fought...perhaps. Though, I think that some of the forbidden ones are just as powerful, if not more so, as well as the Archdemon.

 

Gameplay wise, I was level 23 when I fought him the first time, on Hard, and he went down rather easily, so I was a bit disappointed.

 

 

One thing I liked about the fight was during the end, even though he had previously disavowed the Old Gods, he found himself calling out to them anyways for help when he was losing the battle.
