Toughest: 3 Drakes in Temple Ruins; I had a lvl 9-10 party on my 1st playthrough. Only got thru once I used Waking Nightmare. Other notables are Genlock Forge Master, Fort Drakon courtyard fight without using your army, Refugee Caravan at a low level, Wynne's random darkspawn encounter with a low level.



Easiest: Archdemon, 20-Guard fight in Denerim, Zathrian, Broodmother, Dragon in Ruins

That's very impressive for a solo, even an AW.  Nice.

Here's my no mage/potion version.

I thought of another really hard one--Caridin, if you bring Shale along as your tank.  One extra golem to kill and no tank = trouble.

Very nice.

1. Toughest battle I'd say is Branka for me.  I beat it, but I've probably had the most trouble overall with that fight.

2. Archdemon is probably the most anti-climatic.  Being the final fight of the game, it should have been a lot harder.

That has to be the hardest fight in the game.  I don't think there can be any debate.

Hardest: mainly the random encounters while travelling, plus several non-boss battles



Overstimated: Gaxkang. Far easier than I thought

[Sarielle]

Broodmother really smoked me first couple of tries. No mages in the party (all melee, actually), my first playthough (so my tactics were sketch) and I didn't realize you could stand on the rocks in the back.

Was just playing on normal.

I think a lot of us had a bit of a *facepalm* moment when we finally noticed (or had it pointed out to us) that the rocks were "safe."

Toughest battle -- Broodmother, but only because the first time I played it, I've made some tactical mistakes which prolonged the battle unnecessary. Long story short, I had few potions, no healer and no ranged companions with me. I had to go all the way back to Orzammar and change my party. After that, it went smoothly. As far as difficulty goes, Ser Cauthrien was far harder to beat down, but there I knew from the first moment what I needed to do -- draw her away and beat her down to a pulp in one of the nearby rooms. Which I did.



Most overestimated battle -- it's a tie between Loghain and the Archdemon. Both were far easier that I was expecting to.

I actually had a bigger facepalm moment the other day. Started a new character to replay Ostagar (really paying attention to some conversations this time) and kept wondering where the hell all my potions were going. Then I realized I set Alistair's tactics to enemy health <25%, use potion.

toughest: encounter w/ a bunch of darkspawn

Anti-climatic: pride demon in mage tower

Hah!  You think that's bad, my very first character, I was trying to figure out why I kept using poultices all the time.  I then realized that I'd set my character's tactics to "Self: Health > 25%: Use Least Powerful Health Poultice."

Anyway, I'd say the hardest fight would be the fights outside Orzammar, and Jarvia, if you go straight to Orzammar without doing anything else after Lothering.

I'd say the most overestimated would be the wolf encounter that everyone complains about.  I've never once had a problem with that encounter (even on nightmare) and I don't really understand the complaints about it.

Hardest : Jowan vs Desire demon on nightmare



anti-climatic: everything past level 10 or so

It depends on the run, but I'd say a fight that has been consistently annoying is the one with two genlock emissaries and a bunch of spiders just before the broodmother. I'd say the most underestimated fight is the genlock forgemaster--he hits like a truck. Ser Cauthrien is hard, but only if you put artificial limits on yourself, so I don't really count that one.

You are absolutely right about the Forgemaster and those Emissaries and spiders. I never see them mentioned, but after my first Nightmare playthrough I always save before those.

I'd say that the most anti Climatic fight is the Archdemon.

[maxernst]

I found it was pretty easy to pull small numbers away in the forge master fight to make it easy, but the Spider Queen was definitely a nasty one.

*facepalms*

Just did this for the fourth time.  Nope, didn't use the rocks.

[Ronin 3000]

Ser Cauthrien was surprisingly easy for me on nightmare. I guess Bioware really nerfed her for console players.



High Dragon is probably the hardest fight since tactical positioning is really tedious on consoles. When I tell my party to hold position, it doesn't mean they should stop auto-attacking!

[byronb23]

1) Gaxkang was ridiculous. I had to lower the difficulty from nightmare to normal in order to do it ^^



2) Godd the archdemon was easy, such a dissappointment. Their were many other battles throughout the game that were much harder.

At least it was your first playthrough. My "DOH!" moment was like...yesterday.

I cant tell you how many times ive done that. Exept i did most powerful lyrium potion with wynn. In 5 minutes i go to use a lyrium potion, after saving and i surley felt like an idiot.

[Cybronx]

Toughest: That damn High Dragon. I had zero tanking moves at the time, awful armor, and bad tactics. I don't think I've ever felt a more "HELL YA!" moment in a game than watching that thing die in slow motion.

Anti-Climactic: Archdemon. Seriously, I wasted all my money on that pathetic fight. I think I bought around 20 potions from Sandal and used 4. I had a well set and planned out strategy (due to my horrific experience with the High Dragon), but I just stopped trying halfway through because there was no point. The humans were acting like fodder so I simply went all out. I would even consider this to be the easiest boss battle in the game (when compared to High Dragon, Broodmother, etc.)

Excluding the obvious (Cauthrien, Gaxkang, etc), my toughest battle was rescuing the refugees from darkspawn in the "Abandoned Meadow." I tried it not long after Lothering on my first playthrough and it took me about ten tries to beat (on "Normal" nonetheless). 9 Hurlocks and 3 Genlocks are bad enough without a Boss-level Emissary raining fireballs down upon my entire party. The satisfaction after finally beating it was one of the high points of the game though.



I agree with everyone else that the Archdemon was the most disappointing. It was barely tougher than the High Dragon, and this time you could summon legions of troops to help out. The entire Battle of Denerim was, in my opinion, a bit lacking (compared to the carnage of Ostagar, for example, or the grueling length of the Deep Roads). While Loghain himself wasn't too disappointing, the lack of build-up to fighting him was (I was expecting the royal palace to be at least as big as Howe's estate).

[Melchida_L]

Toughest battle: Broodmother, mostly because I went to Orzammar very early in the game and when I reached her I had almost no potion. Ser Cauthrien is also pretty hard. She hits like a truck.



Most anticlimatic: the arch demon (It only took me 2 tries to beat it) and Loghain.

[DalishRanger]

I've played both the Xbox and PC versions, and found certain battles felt a lot different in terms of difficulty.

On the Xbox:

1. Archdemon, without a doubt. Even on Casual, he was a pain in the ass for me to fight, no matter how well-equipped, leveled, or prepared I was. He got less difficult after multiple plays, but always remained annoying to combat.

2. Zatherian. No matter who I bring with me for the Dalish quest line, I can mow him down quickly.


On the PC:

1. Broodmother - at least compared to the Xbox. Was far more difficult, and by the time I got to the PC version, I was already well-accustomed to most boss fights and how to beat them.

2. Oddly enough, the archdemon. On the PC he was a total pushover. Really surprised me... But in a good way, as I was sick of fighting him in the Xbox version.

Edit: Stupid quick reply formatting... *Sigh*

Ser Cauthrien was an absolute nightmare on my first play through.



IMO Broodmother was a bit of a letdown. I 1 shot it on my first try and it's only been easier since. Not using the rocks either!

[Happy-Yeti]

I found the broodmother to be the most difficult on my first playthrough, although after a few tries i finally managed to beat it.



The most anti climactic for me was the high dragon, i defeated it on my first try...
