Dragon Age II Hints

Mage Combat Tips

  • 1 of 4: The mages will summon shades right after the combat starts, but you'll need to ignore them and go after the mages right away.
  • 2 of 4: Due to the placement of flaming barriers, the mages on the left can only be gotten to by going up the stairs on the left, and the rest of the mages can only be gotten to by going up the stairs in the center.
  • 3 of 4: You'll need to micromanage each character and get them to attack different mages if you're going to have any hope of surviving this. Keep a close watch on health bars and use healing spells and potions immediately when any of them drop low.
  • 4 of 4: Watch for abominations and a rage demon to show up later in the fight, after you finish off most or all of the mages.
