Just got him to 25% health so getting closer.. its so hard because none of my attacks work.. he does this hex so that only critical melee hits hit him (=never)..also he resists 3/4 of my spells.. Then his cone of cold freezes my chars for 15s while my cone of cold only freezes him for 3 (if not resisted). He seems to have unlimited mana too and at least 1000hp

I don't see why they need me this gax'kang is enough to beat the darkspawn on his own..

Yeah, Gax'kang was boring and his so legendary weapon was awful. He had a bit too high resist. Anyway, I did finish him on first try though my main character got killed when he had half hp, I revived him and he died right after.

The boss I had most issues with and to be quiet honest, the only real hard challenge was the Broodmother. I think I loaded 5-6 times because my strategy wasn't executed as I wanted getting more what I wanted after each try.

Gaxkang hits 110 with winters grasp on my mages..almost killing them instantly if they dont have full health...

Anyway i've got all allies on my side now and i can go to denerim with redcliffe.. is this the final quest? I'd rather first beat gaxkang but i don't have any quests left that give me any XP..

He did at first, but I got him kicking ASS. Make sure to max out his templar skills...holy smite decimates.

**Possible Spoiler!**

Yea Alistair is becoming a handy guy to have around, although, i've just gone to try and kill Flemeth for Morrigan, BIG mistake, since my little band of warriors are only around level 9-10.

Ah templar, the little I played him before I got Sten to replace him I just pumped some few skills in Shield talent section. I had to play him though in the end and then I had hard time having him survive.

Alistair can become the best tank you have (Shale is pretty damn awesome though) but Alistair needs a LOT of delicate work with his stats and abilities to be fully effective. I suggest pumping his strength to use the Dragon Armor (if you have the DLC) ASAP because once he has that he starts to be a beast. Then you can focus on his CON.

Might check out some of the mods being created, specifically the mod that stops the auto level on your NPC as soon as they join the party, allowing you to have full control over their abilities from the start.

There is also a mod that eliminates the preset abilities your main character gets when created (specified by the path you choose).

And of course there are the complete respec mods that will clear all in a click.

Going for my 3rd play through, I like my mage but I feel the mage as a main is overkill when you have Morrigan and Wynne picked up early in the game and can customize them to your liking with mods.

I loved the rogue my first play through, going to go that route again but with a human, and on nightmare (with nightmare plus mod) and a couple of other mods that make the game play different.

I love mods, I love the modding community.

Beat it a few hours ago...

..BEST epic ending ever, and the wrap-up doesn't leave you guessing or wondering, but it's still very open ended for what may come next.

BTW, what's all this about a gaxkang high dragon? I only came across 3.

Already on 3rd play through?! Anyway, you have 3 mages? I must try 4 of the same classes, could be some fun.
