How is it possible to ever beat Sloth

[『EXPAND DONG』]

Blind playthrough, rogue MC, Morrigan, Sten, Alistair, level 7/8. If I'm lucky I'm able to make it to the 5th form of Sloth, the magic one, but I'm super lucky if I have more than 1 party member left alive. The one time they were all still alive, they all pretty much died before any kind of healing could take place - with just the normal attacks (chain lightning/winter's grip, never seen the blizzard)

Only poultice left is a greater poutlice so there's no possible way to heal except by Spirit form's regernation ability. That's been the only way I've seen to do anything in this battle - babysit the party with healing, because otherwise they die. Really fast.

Even on EASY difficulty nothing. changes. at. all.

Really, at this point the only sane option left is to throw the game away and never buy any of the other Dragon Age games because of a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ introduction on how to manage a party and actually FIGHT.

you have to shift into the 4 creatures and use the right one to counter what he is and the mage you pick up at the tower can raise the dead

You mean, spirit form? The one with winter's grasp, soul cage thing and healing, can revive?

[Hearthbrew]

Really? Huh. I brought in the healer chick instead of Morrigan and didn't even have to shapeshift as a mage. Are you pausing to plan out your attacks?

[『EXPAND DONG』]

Only at the start of combat, as I'm not sure how much that helps with the low-level characters and few abilities. Well, other than Morrigan... and that circle mage chick, she dead. Renegade w/ Morrigan blind.

On Easy?

Wait until you play on Hard. With CT. With Ravage. AND FCR.

[『EXPAND DONG』]

I... don't know what those mean.

[King Yuri]

He means Wynne, the mage at the beginning of the tower.

I remember him being kinda easy on nightmare as a solo mage. You just gotta bring dem potions and attack accordingly.

Did I mention a ♥♥♥♥ ton of potions? Maybe more than a ton.

Since you didn't bring a ton, you're in for a fun fight. That's the best tip I can give you. Always carry a ton of potions.

I am no where close to the best Dragon Age player but I'm pretty sure I used the Golem...or that thing when you switch to different forms

I know that this is old thread, but now that someone just brought it up again...

With male Rogue, Alistair, Leliana and Wynne: Setup Alistair to beat Sloth, Wynne to heal him and Leliana to "ranged" mode. My own character shoots arrows out of reach in first form, uses cold spell from Spirit form against suitable forms of Sloth - or Burning man form with melee attacks against demon form - and then both Warden and tank go in melee, when Sloth tries to summon blizzard in his final form. Wynne's Stonefist may also interupt the spell, but it usually requires at least two characters beating Sloth in melee combat, or using more powerful spell.

What ever group you have, similar method works quite well. Just make sure that Sloth is only damaging your tank, or you may exhaust your lyrium potions and veins for healing spells, before the battle is over. If he goes against your archer (if you have one), then let her/him run around in circles, while your tank and main character are getting it's attention.

Well congrats, dude, you just killed your only healer.
