This article contains strategy for fighting The Guardian during the quest The Descent in the DLC The Descent for Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Attack the flailing rock tendrils and then run to avoid being hit. When the Rock Flails reach zero health they fall off, revealing lyrium stumps--attack these.
It is possible to cheese The Guardian to death. Using any mage character, walk to the edge of the platform (preferably right beside a pillar) and get knocked off the side. When the character respawns, The Guardian will be unable to hit the character with any attack. The player may attack from range in complete safety.
Party Recommendations
-Vivienne, Dorian, any mage with many Storm abilites. It, like many other things in the Deep Roads, is vulnerable to electricity damage.
-Equip your party's tank with Bolt (turns all your tank's damage into electricity damage, trials reward item, requires Trespasser DLC) for more damage towards the boss.
Recommended Weapons
- Scepter of Razikale
- Hakkon's Wisdom (Jaws of Hakkon DLC)
