Dragon Age II Hints

Combat Tips

  • 1 of 6: One good strategy is to run all of your characters to a spot along the south side of the area where the three levers are.
  • 2 of 6: Get them to hold position there so you can easily reach the levers and blow up the three explosive barrels that are nearby.
  • 3 of 6: You should probably save the barrels for when the ogres show up, since damaging them and knocking them down is very useful.
  • 4 of 6: Thankfully, there are only three ogres, and they'll come from three different directions, meaning you can use one explosive barrel on each.
  • 5 of 6: Another good strategy is to run everyone back the way you came as soon as the battle starts. Kill the hurlocks that are near the stairs, then go up them and have your characters hold position a ways back from them.
  • 6 of 6: Wait there for darkspawn to come to you, then send one character to lure in more and/or use the explosive barrels against them.
