ok so i am at the end were you need to fight the last boss (aka the Arch Demon) and after 15 try's i have yet to kill him and i was wondering if there is a easy way to beat him frankly i am at a stand still as far as how to beat him?

make sure you use your armies for a start...also try to make sure you have wynne in your party and change her tactics so she will more or less just heal. i also had loghain, sten and myself (all warriors) to pummel the hell out of it. after it flies over to where you cant hit it "hopefully" you can call in your archers/or mages then switch to ranged and perhaps switch wynne to do some damage...

when i fist saw the arch demon, i tried to strike him down with my sword, but this wont work!! what you have to do when you fist set your foot up on the tower is to run to the right!
up the "hill" and then to the left. there youll find the "wooden arrow thing" baliska i think the name is.. (cant remember sorry) any way, there's 4 of them located in different places arround the tower. and you can shoot at the dragon from these! don't shoose the frist one you see thow.. youll se witch one to choose.. take the one closest in range to the dragon! then just shoot!! dont stop ever! and have your players in your group close! on hold, so they can defend you! cus when the dragons life procent is down to 50.. youll need all the protection you can get.. when this happens call for reinforcement! take the dwarfs not any else if you want your allies to live. change the balliska when the dragon moves.
when the dragons life procent is down to 25.. he will try to drain your life.. just take health polution and keep alistair alive.. if your caracther dies dont worry! if you have laid with morrigan you will awake and take the final blow just in time! this is how ive donne it 2 times.. so i hope it help!
it doesnt really make a differense who you have with you, if you use this teqnice. have funn!
and im sorry for my spelling.. im really no good..

Thanks Dagger i beat him using your strategy ( note all Cred goes to you for the Strategy )now i Restarted and am working with my Elf save file



P.S i don't care if your spelling is no good it's the thought that counts

I chose to be a mage Arcane warrior, spirit healer. All the mages in my sqad is a Spirit healer hehehe we never die. I slayed the arch demon using My Spellweaver with two Master flame runes attached. I was wearing the BloodDragon armor, I used all The defencive spells I had and used the Linguring primary magic Like Tempest, Blizzard, Etc, to continue takeing damage to the demon. Then I noticed the bacilica's and when the Demon retreated I used Tempesed while I fire Flameing bolts at the demon. It took more damage and I killed the demon in one minute.
I'm not an expert at this game, I play more shooting games than I do RPG's.

not got this far yet but hopefully itll be a breeze since im level 25 mage aw/bm

i completed it last night lol
was kinda easy i used rogue 2 mages and a warrior as a tank :P
the only annoying bit was when it flew away so the mellee couldnt attack :P
still killed it though and im on awakening atm its awesome but i really wanna be a warrior with reaver and i dont know what else to be probs beserker or something :P
