How to locate and defeat dragons in Dragon Age Inquisition?
Fighting dragons is a difficult task – don’t forget to take care of your wounded comrades
Dragons are the game’s most formidable bosses, with a total of 10 to battle. They can be found in various locations marked on the map, typically in areas near the map’s edges. To fight a dragon successfully, it is recommended that your experience level be two levels higher than the dragon’s level (although this depends on factors such as player skill, equipment, party composition, etc.). Most dragons can be fought by approaching their dens, while some are linked to quests. These battles can last from 5 to 20 minutes and are incredibly challenging, but the rewards are substantial – each dragon drops at least one legendary item.
Before engaging in battle with a dragon, it is important to prepare. Reconnaissance is key, so take a look at the arena and identify the type of dragon you are facing. The arena’s appearance (whether it is a den or an open area) will indicate if the dragon will fly above the arena and whether there are any objects to hide behind. The type of dragon will determine their attacks – if they use fire, equip yourself with weapons that deal ice damage (or use ice spells as a mage), and vice versa.
Covers are not always effective – dragons can easily cross them
While preparing, health potions should be your priority. It is best to have a party composed mostly of ranged fighters, with mages using spells that weaken the dragon’s type, and at least one supporter mage with Barrier and Revive spells. At the start of the battle, deploy your party members in a curved line in tactical mode, as the dragon’s attacks are mostly AoE (area-of-effect). It is crucial to keep the distance between characters short, so you can hurry to rescue them if needed. You can target any of the dragon’s limbs or its maw, but if you focus multiple strong strikes on one area, the dragon may pause its attacks and writhe in pain.
Dragons have the following abilities:
The dragon has several attacks that players should be aware of. It can attack nearby characters with its paws, bite, or use its tail. It also has AoE attacks such as breathing fire or ice, and firing fire or ice balls, which can be dodged or jumped over. Players should hide behind cover to avoid getting pulled towards the dragon with its gust of wind attack. When the dragon activates its armor, an additional bar over the health bar appears, and players must destroy it. The dragon can also fly into the air, circle the arena, and use its fire/ice breath and fire balls. Players should be aware of the stun and summoning reinforcements attack, which occurs after half of the dragon’s health bar has been drained. While stunned, players will stay in one spot for several seconds, and small dragons will appear to help the big one in battle.
