Inferno + Tempest + Blizzard, with everyone back on the rocks and using ranged weapons on her. Easiest boss fight ever, though I admit my strategy was tremendously cheap.

This, dont attack her directly.go back to rock far from her. use your mage for blizzard, tempest whatever you have on her. make your tanks protect mage against tentacles and drakspawn, i also occasionally used my rogue to throe her acid, shock bomb etc.

The brood mother was absolute MURDER for me. I just couldn't do it, no matter what I tried. I think my main failing was that I didn't have enough poultices. I had 20 lesser poultices and those I ate up FAST. Another difficulty is that Morrigan doesn't know the right spells and Wynne goes through her mana way too fast.

I tried having everyone stand on rocks and go ranged, but their damage wasn't high enough. Then, I tried standing on the rocky path behind her and using Blizzard, but it did so little damage that it was impossible to take her down before getting ripped apart by her spit attacks.

This might be the most unbalanced encounter I've experienced in this game!

If anybody has some general tips on how to better level my characters I'd appreciate it. I feel like I haven't spent enough points on willpower for anyone and I really don't know which spells to teach my magic users!

[HarlequinDream]

My strategy when I played a rogue was this--

Take Morrigan, Wynne, and someone to tank. Set your PC's tactics to whatever you want. Control Wynne. Put her on a rock, out of tentacle harm's way. Control Morrigan. Put her on a rock. Keep controlling Morrigan.


ETA: Stout, I definietly suggest the primal spells as well as the arcane tree. Willpower is very important, as I've only recently learned.

I don't get it, really.



What's so tough about that one? Just cast Blizzard and use your ranged attacks. She''ll go down very fast.

Stout:

The first playthrough was abso murder for me as well. I had no AoE primal spells and no ranged weapons apart from Morrigan's staff. Took me several times to get through.

As everyone else on this topic has said - ranged weapons (essential) and nature resistance (optional). Hold position on the rock.have your ranged attackers fire away at the BM. WHen tentacles sprout, melee the tentacles. Melee the adds. Once youve killed the shrieks, youre home free.

Having a couple of health poultices helps, naturally

[thegreateski]

If all else fails.



Use fire.



Seriously just throw down an inferno on top of her and hurl a fireball of two her way.

This is one of those fights that went really easy for me, but I keep hearing is super hard for many. I did the Dwarves last of all the treaties, so I was pretty high level by then. It was a simple deal. I just kept everyone on the platform across the room and let Allister tank, while my PC (mage), Morrigan and Liliana all slammed her from range. I had two big area affect spells going on the Mother (usually Blizzard and the big electrical storm, but when those ran out I'd hit her with Inferno until those two came back. If feasible, I'd fling whatever other damage dealing magics I could at her, until I had to drink some Lyrium). Allister did a good job keeping other darkspawn off though sometimes I had to fight with the others. Never had any trouble with the tentacles, just ignored them the whole battle.

In the end, I used up a fair number of Lyrium potions just to keep the pressure on her with my spells, but I think maybe only had to use two health poultices the whole time.

I found an interesting flaw last time I fought her. I went up the ramp " to the left of the screen when facing her" and followed it around until you can't go any more. then somehow got " into" the stone face and was able to spam her with spells without ever getting touched. I don't know if it was a one time thing as I have not tried it a second time yet.

[Dethbass]

The staying on the rocks trick worked. Of course Oghren died as usual, my character died, but morrigan and shale put her to rest in one attempt. Shale was pounding on her while morrigan was ranged.

[Franpa]

I simply couldn't beat her so came back later with stronger characters and just pwnd it. The difficulty is set the first time you enter an area o_o so leave the area and level up elsewhere

This. This is exactly what I did, and she was dead so fast I was still trying to attack her, not even realizing. This was on my third try (after going back to the surface and switching Morrigan into the party), so I was expecting a heck of fight, but there just... wasn't. I stayed on the ledge at the back right, did "hold position" and used ranged weapons with everyone while Blizzard did its thing. None of my characters died.

[prizm123]

all go ranged, have a mage with blizzard and tempest, i find those 2 spells pretty much clean up any adds that spawn as well as damage the boss, n fact with my last playthrough with my mage she was dead before i had realized it

[TheSeeker33]

Well I am stuck on her right now. I'm playing on the PS3 so it's not as easy controlling characters. I have Morrigan, my character, Shale, and Oghren. Morrigan doesn't have the Blizzard thing or any other good damage spells, Oghren dies too easily, My ranged attacks suck big time, since they don't do any damage. I put the characters up on the rocks, but if I want to attack, it says they need to move into range and they go down to where they get massacred. My characters are level 15. This is getting real frustrating fighting this ugly beast.... Any more tips with problems like me that don't involve me having to run out of the tunnels to level up?

[TheSeeker33]

Anyone got anything?

[mousestalker]

What class is your character? Does Shale know any ranged attacks or have you given her Stoneheart yet? What lines of spells does Morrigan know? Have you equipped Oghren with a bow? Does your character have a bow?

[TheSeeker33]

My character is a warrior. I don't equip my characters with bows because the bows I have don't do any damage at all. Shale doesn't know any ranged attacks. Morrigan knows the Winter's Grasp, two lightning spells and a fire spell.

[mousestalker]

Oh dear. Ranged damage is the easy way to defeat the broodmother.



You may want to get bows for you and Oghren, have Shale tank the big bad and Morrigan do her thing. Crossbows with ice bolts can work very nicely.



Zerging the boss in that fight has never worked well for me.

[TheSeeker33]

I have bows, but they don't do any damage. Her health barely goes down. And I can't go behind her to the rocks because I can't shoot from there.

[Derengard]

An archer in the back (my fighter took the role of archer so she could also fight when the darkspawn flooded in). All the while the others provide assistance mainly by keeping the tentacles off. All you need then is wait till its over.

[Addai]

Er, wow, level 15 and your mage has no AoE attack to use? Bows do NO damage at all?? I find that hard to believe. I always equip my warriors with crossbows, because even if they don't have a single point in archery, the cumulative effect of small concentrated fire certainly does some damage. Especially with bolts. Does your rogue have any AoE attack like freeze bombs? If no to all of the above, the only suggestion I could make is to put the difficulty down.



My strategy with Broodmother is to have my best archer and mage standing near the entrance. The archer keeps firing at the BM no matter what, unless she is truly surrounded. The mage goes back and forth between AoE attacks and healing. The warriors fire crossbows at the BM until the tentacles and darkspawn start appearing, and then I turn them loose on those. Their job is to keep melee enemies away from the archer so that she can keep a steady, constant fire on the BM. I don't even bother with melee attacks on the Broodmother. No need.

[TheSeeker33]

But I can't control them all. If I put my warrior on as archer and then switch to say Oghren to kill Darkspawn, then my warrior will start doing whatever he wants. I do good until all them Darkspawn come running out.

[TheSeeker33]

So what rock is everyone talking about to use ranged attacks from? I can't use that rock cliff in the back because it won't let me hit her. What other rock works? My party dies so quick and I can't control what they do. If I just try to put my ranged attacking her, Oghren and Shale run off to attack her too. If I could just keep them back...

Lol, i remember my frst playthrough, on normal, i had wynne, my mage, alistair and oghren. Naturally i had the melee charging in and dying almost imediately, then mage died of darkspawn attack, and then Wynne soloed the sh** out of Broodmother with her staff from around 70%. 'Twas epic.
Strangely there was no second darkspawn attack and the tentacles never respawned. Might have been a bug, idk. But Wynne is hardcore!
