Changes: Bloody Plains

Latest revision as of 00:14, 2 January 2024

The Bloody Plains is a random encounter in Dragon Age: Origins. The party is ambushed by a group of darkspawn who have laid traps around the area.

Enemies[]

Darkspawn

Genlock archer (2) (Normal)
Hurlock (2) (Normal)
Hurlock emissary (1) (Normal)
Hurlock alpha (1) (Lieutenant)

Strategy[]

As the area is covered with traps, it is suggested you give the hold command to your party and let the Hurlock Alpha come to you, while using ranged attacks on the other enemies, starting with the Hurlock Emissary.

Solo strategy[]

This very common random encounter is actually one of the toughest fights for a solo character. Small area with no cover, many traps, a mage, two Berserk-capable archers, two Berserk-capable W&S warriors, and a 2H lieutenant that can literally one-hit an unarmored character if he doesn't miss.

That said, it can be done by a solo Ranger with just:

The Sorrows of Arlathan

Senior Enchanter's Robes

Talents required:

For additional details regarding this strategy see here.

Resources[]

Deathroot

Elfroot

Special objects[]

Leghold Trap (12) - wooden claw, medium difficulty, requires a 50 disarm score, 30 XP granted per trap detected and disarmed.
