Just have a fighter bring him down quickly with a few hard hits. If you can take out some of the second group quickly, you should be able to take out the emissary that spawns along with the next wave. Go to the end to tear through a bunch of darkspawn, which should cause a second group to spawn behind you. The next section is a huge hall that’s a little bit of a tough battle. Send him back to his father to be nice, and then keep on going past his frozen ogre. It’s just another grind with some archers, so take them out and move on until you find Sandal with his special statue. Go along the path for just a little bit longer until you find another mixed group of darkspawn. The Deep Roads Expedition - More Darkspawn After the spider dies, you can loot the side room for a great two-handed sword.įor help with the bosses ahead, turn the page… It’s a long boring fight, but you can grind it out with a little persistence. If you can survive the grind, and you’re able to run in circles well, then you’ll probably be just fine. Even my mages were able to burn them away before they took anyone out. This should give you enough time for the potion cooldown to run out, or for your mages to get their spells ready again.Īt the halfway point, a few more spiders will drop in, but it’s probably not worth worrying about. Have whoever he targets just run around in circles for a bit while your ranged fighters plink away at it. If you don’t have a tank that can shrug off the attack, you will probably need to just kite the boss around for a bit. The only thing I really had luck with was the cold spells, which had a decent chance of freezing the giant spider. Hopefully you taught Anders his revive spell, because it will get a little rough without it. It can attack again before you can get up, usually, and if it manages to back you up against a wall, then your fighter will die. The spider is able to do a vicious pounce attack. A real tank can keep them tied up well, but any other fighter will probably get stun locked. The biggest danger is to an average fighter though.

Varric will probably be able to dodge a fair number of the spiders attacks, but your mages will probably be too squishy to last long. It’s a long fight, but you should be fine if you can manage your ranged fighters well. This guy is basically a dragon that can’t breathe fire, so have fun with it. Once the last one dies, a “monstrous spider” will drop down and attack. The giant spiders are weak, so have someone tank the spiders while a damage dealer cuts down the poisonous spiders. Turn around and try to leave to trigger a spider ambush. If you go up the steps in the pit and approach the door, you’ll find that it’s locked. The Deep Roads Expedition - Monstrous Spider The side room right after this fight has a few chests, and a bit of an interesting trap. If you can take the mage out, the fight is a piece of cake. These guys have an emissary with them, so keep an eye out and have your damage dealer rush the mage when you get a chance. Keep moving until you hit the second group. There’s nothing much special about them, and they should all just be basic grunts. There are two waves of darkspawn that you’ll run right into.

I don’t think that there’s a reason to say no (unless you just want some extra rivalry points with everyone), so accept it and head out along the side route. Bodahn will want you to go out and rescue Sandal. Once you take over, you’ll need to make a quick choice. Note that you will “lose” your sibling regardless of your choice, but if you want them to survive the Deep Roads, you will have to take Anders with you.Īs a side note, keep an eye out for raw lyrium and deep mushrooms to build up your crafting recipes. There’s also an important note about your sibling. Note that you have to bring Varric with you, so you will only be able to bring two people.

You will definitely want to bring Anders as a healer and reviver, and it’s a good idea to bring a tank and a damage dealer. You won’t be able to change it once you’re in the Deep Roads, so pick wisely. Note that you’ll have to pick your party for the mission. Once you’ve turned in the 50 sovereigns (or secured the loan) and Anders’ map, you’ll be able bring Varric and seal the deal with Bartrand in Hightown.
