Dragon Age: Origins Hints
Dragon Combat Tips
1 of 6: Have everyone hold position in the corridor that leads to the dragon room, then send your rogue in.
2 of 6: Move him into the room far enough to start detecting traps, then wait until he sees three traps on the floor near the circular design, plus four more traps on it.
3 of 6: Disarm the three on the floor and the nearest two on the circular design, then return to the party.
4 of 6: Equip all your best fire-resisting gear and use temporary buffs against fire damage such as greater warmth balms.
5 of 6: Send your toughest fighter in to trigger the dragon's appearance, then run him back to the party so the dragon will follow.
6 of 6: Or if you have your fighter move along the left (east) edge of the room, you can avoid triggering the dragon's appearance. You can still loot its hoard, and you can move on to the Ruins Lower Level area. (Only do this if you can't beat the dragon now, and want to put it off until later.)
