Hero of Ferelden: So, how was the Deep Roads? Inquisitor: I'd rather fight 20 dragons at once rather than go to the Deep Roads again. Hero of Ferelden: Thought so.
nah fuck that, the Deep Roads with all the Darkspawn with my Reaver Warrior, Champaion Blackwall, Varic and Necromancer Dorian was one of the best moments in the entire series for me when this battle was happening. The just epicness of it was so intense and enjoyable, really felt like I was fighting a war down there.
+Sakif Obaid No kidding, what would otherwise be a boring fight with wave combat is transformed into an epic battle with the right music and setting. It makes sense that you'd be fighting off a seemingly endless wave of Darkspawn and this music gets you fucking PUMPED to fight them.
+silver6kraid It was so good to see Dragon Age back to its roots. The Darkspawn have been far to peripheral since Origins IMO since everything about them is one of the most interesting mysteries in the lore.
Garry Cotton Well, if the subtle hints in The Decent and Trespasser are any indication they're far more significant than we originally thought. I doubt we'll see another blight any time soon, but hopefully we can get a concrete explanation for where they came from beyond hints of them coming from a blighted titan. Like, you know, how did the Elven Gods kill a titan?
Made me feel like the Warden again. Also, it was confirmed by inquisition that the original darkspawn really were tevinter magisters, but how they ended up in the deep roads is another matter entirely
I might be in the minority to like Descent best of the DLCs, but this fight is one of the reasons why. The music got me pumped, fighting through hordes of Darkspawn. It reminds me of Origins and also the Moria sequence of Lord of the Rings, and I was so excited! The music alone makes me excited.
Why is the Descent the least liked DLC? The lore around Orzammar, dwarves, the Titan, darskpawn... plus everything you wrote - I thought because of this "The Descent" should be an example for what a DLC have to look like :/
@koomshiqta The ending was incredibly ambiguous and people were hoping to get some answers. I enjoy the descent myself, but I definitely prefer trespasser and Hakkon
I play Descent like finished 3/4ths of the main campaign, which means that I already finished Blackwall's personal quest or already finished the main campaign.
That whole fight was fucking ridiculous. I failed my first try on it, and my second try took 2 1/2 hours. I had to keep running back with my only survivor so that the corpses of my allies would appear and the Alpha Emissary and an unending supply of Genlocks spawning in would be far enough behind me they'd stop chasing... I ran out of potions and it was just a nightmare. Early on I found a ledge I could fight from where the darkspawn couldn't get to me. I put Varric and Solas there, took control of Solas, and nuked from there... but once the Alpha Emissary appeared, that tactic was no longer viable.
I beat him after 40 staggering minutes of taunting, tanking everything and everyone while letting Dorian free to revive and heal people as necessary, the whole party died over and over but my Inquisitor tanked it through after 40 long minutes haha. It was tiring but epic.
40 minutes?! Step 1: Have your warrior spam improved "Horn of Valor" for the free party-wide guard. Step 2: Have your tank cast "To the Death" on the boss Step 3: Boss dies in 5 minutes
Baruch Tinkov I was my own tank and I did cast "to the death" on him, but he kept teleporting everywhere and being attacked by a legion of genlocks didn't help even with "Walking Fortress" on. Also I was never a big fan of the Battlemaster tree so... no one in my party had it.
Stomped them all in Nightmare mode with two Rift Mages, Dorian and Iron Bull. I still have Solas since I have been procrastinating offing Corypheus in this playthrough; I wanted to hear him react to the professor during Ameridan's quest. XD I'm L27, capped, and so are all the enemies. It's glorious.
This was the longest, most stressing fight of the game for me (so far). By the end of it there were no more potions or supply caches, the Emissary Alpha was staying along one wall, where you have to walk around the gaping hole. My allies blasting it from afar, my dwarven female warrior protagonist swinging my 2H axe for all its worth while dodging its fire blast spell of hate, while also fighting off the smaller spawn that just kept coming, all while ordering my companions to revive each other whenever one was knocked out of the fight. So intense, and this song was a good fit!
After the 'this is too easy' debacle, gotta give credit where it's due. Been a while since a game made my hand hurt. More of the same please, 30 minutes in that roooooooooooooooooooom.
Great theme. Makes you visualise an intense large scale ongoing battle for survival in long lost deep ruins against unending hordes. Just like what you'd expect from this DLC.
Not going to lie, about half of my time I would purposefully extend some fights a bit, just so I could listen to that beautiful horn (and later violin) melody again. Absolutely 10/10.
@@SeventhheavenDK fuck outta here negative nancy. it's called an opinion. you don't share the opinion? then move on down the road. no need for shit talking. we don't need your negative energy here.
I made sure to finish the main game before starting this DLC. (lol for rp purposes, I don't like the idea of Solas knowing about ancient dwarven secrets buried deep underground) Man, the first time I laid my eyes upon those lyrium caves and crazy building structures... it was amazing. QAQ I was so glad to learn new facts about the titans and dwarves!
Did anyone else feel like they were in a epic battle scene from a film or something? I am playng a dalish elf archer and i had dorian (obviously xD), Black wall and varric and i was having to switch between members to manage the battle, it was truly epic. best part of all 3 games for me so far....
This whole section honestly got me pumped. I’d been playing around with masterworks and thanks to one my mage got guard on hits, like the warriors, I basically had three tanky frontline fighters, my Qunari KE, Cass, and Blackwall, while Sera peppered the darkspawn with arrows. The music really added to the whole thing, the only thing it was missing was my Hero of Ferelden carving up darkspawn with her swords.
Exactly this. The Hero of Ferelden (or the Awakening Warden for those that needed a replacement) should had been in this fight. Tho, in my case my Warden would have blasted everything with her magic.
This fight as artificer dagger rogue is hilarious...explosions Everywhere!! accidentally flank attacked off the ledge twice. Then said ok I'm switching to sera for a bit. Once I got to a safer area I switched back to my character. My team was Sera (archer), Dorian (fire/necro/spirit), cassandra (templar/tank). But yeah some of the best fighting in the game.
DLC bosses were freakin' damage sponges. Worst one of all was the final boss in trespasser. Died like 50+ times. Can't tell you how many times my own hand ended up ruining things for me.
I just played the descent ONLY for the darkspawn fight with this OST. Wasn't disappointed, truly epic, for a moment I thought it would never end when the emissary showed up. Cassandra was barely tanking, Varric was dying on me while Dorian was sitting in the middle of the rooms laughing and my Knight enchanter Trevelyan was really sweating. Damnit Varric, I had to control him to had him live through. This is, BY FAR, the only song I really like on Dragon Age Inquisition.
So, I didn't know that Tresspasser was the ending DLC, so I played it immediately after beating Corypheus. So, the Inquisitor never finished Descent, and didn't go to Hakkon. I don't currently have the heart to go start all over again now.
Ooh... that's tough. I remember I had to play Origins 5 times. The first time, I had given the wrong skills to my character. Second time, I got a new Xbox, so I could never finish that game. Third time, I messed up, and (spoilers) Alastair could never become King while keeping Loghain alive. Fourth time, I kept dying because my character was a glass cannon. Finally, on my fifth time, I beat all of the game and DLC, with a Arcane Warrior Mage. I was pretty happy with that run.
I've learned to make multiple saves before any important scene/decision, so if I don't like something I only have to go back a little ways and correct my choices.
Brooke S I never did that, because I wanted to live with my decisions. I chose to (SPOILER) Recruit the Wardens, because I wanted to live in the moment. If a decision had consequences, then I would live with them, and through plot, everything would be fine later on.
Yeah because it's not like there was red sign that said something like you will not be able to return after the mission (sarcasm). Seriously some people should read mission descriptions at least.
DragonCreation Hooray just in case you never found out Loghain can be a warden and Alister can also be king in the same world but Alister must be harden. To do this you must go see Alister sister and after the confrontation when you go outside tell Alister "Everyone is looking out for themselves you should know that" making Alister more independent and make decisions on his own accord
i couldnt kill one ofnthe ogres cause it glitched through the map, so i was just getting wave after wave of darkspawn so i panicked and restarted the stage
Fun story: During my playthrough, Dorian glitched through the floor and and left me without a mage halfway through the fight. I managed to reach the part with the ogres, and got beaten to a pulp. Iron Bull and Sera both got taken out after about a minute, and my character (a Templar with the Sulevin Blade) spent another 2 minutes trying not to die. Ultimately, one of the ogres landed a killing blow at the exact same time Dorian glitched back in and immediately used Revival, bringing back the whole team. It happened at just the right time that my control didn't have time to switch to Dorian. My character just ran out of health, staggered for a half second, and then floated off the ground with glowing angel wings. The music at that moment? 2:10. Picture that in your head.
+William Edward I completed that DLC without a mage with my main - a human rogue tempest. I took Cassandra, Blackwall and Cole. The warriors were so well equipped that Blackwall was literally invincible. With a tactical preference for constant taunts the warriors took on hordes of 'spawn while me and Cole shot at them at range. On nightmare the battles are quite difficult, not to mention that I had "Walk Softly" and "Even Ground" on, so I was fighting monstrously difficult level 27 'spawn with special abilities. Burned through 9 mighty offence tonics, 8 rock armor tonics, 4 antivan fire grenades, 20 restoration potions and several batches of 12 healing potions.
Your sibling gets the blight in DA2 and dies if you don't bring Anders to perform the Joining. but yeah apart from that everyone else is protected by plot armour.
Well, Blackwall has been doing it for a while, he doesn't wear that ridiculously thick padded armour for nothing, y'know. The mages avoid physical contact, Cole is a spirit and Cassandra is immune to corruption (it's hinted that seekers can't get the blight during Cass's comp quest). Qunari are immune to most kinds of poison, and apparently that makes it harder, but not impossible, for them to catch the blight. Basically everyone in your party has some story element that makes them unlikely to contract the blight, everyone except for the Inquisitor. The inquisitor again gets told to keep his/her mouth shut while fighting them because the blood is poison.
+David Kings Like I said, During Cassandra's companion quests it's hinted that seekers are immune to the blight. The Seekers were fed red lyrium, which is lyrium tainted by the blight, but they were found immune
That fight was the bane of my existence on my nightmare+trials playthrough bc I accidentally went in with Dorian having the wrong element staff. So instead of wiping the floor with the emissary, it became a battle of attrition between me (the mage with the correct kind of staff) and the emissary while the rest of my party held off the regenerating waves of enemies. Tbh, in retrospect, it was kind of epic when I consider it as a fight of endurance, but damn if it wasn't tiring at the time.
@@imreallytired7335 just did the fight tonight with on Nightmare with Even Grounded on (cause yay lv24 enemies) and damn. Being a 2 handed Reaver makes this fight am absolute treat. Built myself and team to be as unkillable as possible and didn't have an issue until the Emissary cause Dorian uses a lightning staff in my game. Granted, he mainly uses fire spells and I had the fire tremor attack so we managed. But circle of pain and dragon rage spam won us the fight in the end. Can't wait to reach the Titan. Obliterated Hakkon at level 21 and I can't wait to see what Dragon Rage does to the Titan.
This DLC had some of the toughest fights in the entire game. I was kind of kicking myself after the Darkspawn Nest fight. By the time the emissary showed up, I was down to about four health potions and they didn't last very long. I spent a good chunk of the fight having a character running around and reviving fallen characters just so that they could do a bit of damage before getting KO'd again (Dorian's "simulacrum" ability was a lifesaver - it kept him alive and invulnerable just long enough to revive two other party members). So, after an extremely long fight with the Emissary, he finally died. As I went out to loot some corpses, what did I find right next to the nearest doorway? A supply cache! Damn! I wish I had noticed that mid-fight; it would have saved me a real headache.
@@SeventhheavenDK that’s true the first time I played the game I was a 2 handed champion and didn’t know what I was doing I never died but stuff took forever to kill
I know everyone is going bananas over Trespasser (and we should be, as its important) but the Decent is incredibly important in changing a major perspective on the entire history and lore of Dragon Age. For the longest time we had pictured the Ancient Elves from Arlathan as the pinnacle of everything Dragon Age had put in front of us. For that to be utterly outplayed by something known as the "Titans". Now we are getting somewhere. We weren't sure what to think of the Ancient Elves, especially from having learned the fate of the major players like Fen'Harel, Elgar'nan and Mythal and the rest of them. To know that there IS (not might be) something beyond even them and they've been seeking release for an uncountable amount of time far surpassing the ancient elves, just goes to show how much shit is going to hit the fan in the next few games. Hold on to your pants, they might fly off lol
+Tyler Bryant I totally agree, although I personally think even greater ramifications are how this revelation completes the potential for subtle connections between Dwarven, Elven AND Human religion/lore in a circle. For me, Elven and Human beliefs always had clear overlaps, you could see the possibility that they were using different names for some of the same beings/events. But before this, Dwarven beliefs were somewhat disparate. But the discovery of the Titans raises a huge amount of questions about who/what exactly trapped the Old Gods in the stone of the Earth that is described in the Chant of Light. How do the Darkspawn possibly relate to the Titans, why does the Blight seem to originate in the physical world from down deep? Is the Maker real but just a Titan? It points to a really cool idea about religion, that all separate beliefs are splinters from a single truth that became distorted over time.
+Tyler Bryant Especially since it appears that lyrium is like Titan blood. And red lyirum is regular lyirum with the blight...imagine a Titan with the blight. How would you even fight something like that except with another Titan? Like two mountains smashing into each other...
As a Knight Enchanter I love the dark spawn wave part of the dlc, even though I have to babysit Bull and Cole a lot while Dorian is frikkin shouting "I could do this all day!" lmao
This fight is just as, or even better, as a two handing Reaver. If you max out your guard potential nothing can actually get past your guard, even on Nightmare, during the whole fight other than the Emissaries. Did it this evening and god, it was so good. Marking areas with Ring of Pain and ripping Darkspawn apart with Dragon Rage and healing up with Devour has never felt so good. Seriously, mix it with the badass sounds of Unbowed activating due to Fade Touched Bloodstone and the gutteral sounds of Reaver skills just makes it feel like medieval Doom in a way.
I don't know what it is but something about this music just invokes lots of feelings. Part of it is that 'dwarf' feeling you get, in addition to the nostalgia of it hearkening back to DAO.
For all its fault, high fantasy never fails in one field: Good versus Evil. Retaking ground against the Darkspawn in the deep road, especially as, or in the name of, dwarves is the best feeling ever. It's pushing off the darkness, rediscovering old glories, and pushing the limits of heroism to its greatest heights at the same time.
I hope Dragon Age 4 can capture the high fantasy feel of the descent and mix it with the OG dark fantasy. H They do that and good the game will be perfect thematically.
@@DragonessYT I really hope so too, but the creative director has me very concerned. Dude is proudly tweeting about how Dragon Age was never dark and how it was always purely about being representative of oppressed minorities. Like, please keep that shit away from what actually made Dragon Age Dragon Age. The game series where we can choose to sacrifice children to have sex with sexy demons. Not dark? Fuck... Ironically, the game series has indeed always been representative. Just like The Elder Scrolls, they did a great job simply making a world like our own with different lands and different peoples. So why they hired some woke loony to suddenly focus on it more is beyond me and just shattered my hope for the game. They did a great job at inclusion without slapping it in your face. Seems they, like all big companies going woke, forgot what made their own games good. I fear Inquisition will be the last good Dragon Age. And what a shame it'd be after that incredible ending to Trespasser.
@@TheStraightestWhitest yeah the moment things like "representation" get highlighted is usually when a stories quality comes into question. Not always of course, but most the time (especially presently in different forms of media)
I had no idea what to expect during this DLC so when I got to the darkspawn horde I was terrified and then the music kicked in and I was just like "OMG! What's happening!?" I think I died about 5 times before I finally got the hang of it. -.-
earthwolf82 I was shrieking “Fuck you!”s at the darkspawn and freaking out, and then I got grounded for screaming foul language in the basement. Ah good times, senior year of high school was one hell of a year and this was one hell of a game
Should have found the Hero of Ferelden down there, slaughtering darkspawn for shits and giggles. "Are you with the wardens?" "No we're the in..." "Then get out of the way, this is no place for children."
This DLC was great, but also difficult, not Golems of Amgarrak difficult, but difficult. Of course, I would've had fonder memories if only one of the Ogres hadn't glitched out of the map while I was pushing the darkspawn out of their nest, making it impossible for me to kill it and forcing me to do the stage all over again, that was on my 4th try, I felt something die inside me when that Ogre fell out of my reach. That part also made me appreciate Blackwall so much I nearly panicked when he disappeared at the beginning of Revelations.
That happened to me to. But I guess they hit something on the way down because they died and I moved forward. Didn't happen when one got launched inside a wall though.
It happened to me too, but I discovered he doesn't glitch out, he actually gets stuck (weirdly) in the upper parts of the room, you cannot normally see him unless you move the camera, and when that happens only ranged attacks reach him. It was a pain because I have to target him with my mage while ignoring everything else in the room.
This song was stuck in my head literally all day. Eating lunch listening to this epic music in my head certainly made my life seem way cooler than it actually is!
Inquisition did everything a triple A RPG wants to do, masterfull music, epic story, grand battles and meaning. Ive played for 35 years, and this is the culmination!
Tomas I won't lie my sister just recently got me into dragon age. She let me play inqusition, and helped fill things in if I asked about something lore wise. Unless inqusition explained it later ln at least. Point is, while I'm still new to this series, I've beaten trespasser, and the decent, but had to kill bull. Broke my heart Finally got the loyalty quest on my current (3rd) playthrough, and am taking things slower to focus more on the story. After things like "in your heart shall burn" and killing the "northern hunter" for the first time, (I think that's the name of the electric dragon that's in crestwood. I didn't understand how the attacks worked at the time and even once I did it gave me a difficult time) this game is so friggin good. I can't give it enough praise.
@@skyhawkslcb18 only if you let the AI control him If you take him yourself and only do Stealth/Assassins Blades combo, while having poison weapons heal for 5% and a gain guard on hit weapon ability, he becomes just as immortal To make it even better, get the Kitty accessory that makes him less resistant to damage, but has a **75%** chance of reviving on death, as well as resisting a death blow and making him immune to damage for a few seconds... He will still die quite often, but you only have to revive him yourself maybe twice per boss battle
@@spacejesus6581 i’m not gonna micromanage cole. I chose a main character for a reason. Hence cole do be kinda trash sometimes. That is a fact. I was not complaining. It is something you have to deal with if you stick to your main character. It’s basically a meme at this point how fast he kills himself. Think before you say dumb shit.
I usually do the descent just before what pride had brought, so by that time I have quite a good level and skills, this battle always feels awesome! However I must admit I had the most fun in my last playthrough where I played a qunari KE using BoT as my main weapon, so I was spamming spells and going melee with fire runes exploding everywhere!
fighting waves of darkspawn 2 ogre and only two potions left 3 of 4 members half dead i didn't want to turn around, so charge one ogre down why the hell is that working
Might just be the hardest fucking fight in the entire game. Like, it needed all your expertise to win. I remember getting my absolute shit kicked to my teeth, despite being a high level. My party survived solely because of Cole and his Assassin abilities, because that Alpha Emissary constantly took out all of us. You had to grit your teeth in this mission, and I can't even imagine what it'd be in a harder difficulty setting. _Loved_ it to bits, though. DLCs should be challenging and this definitely delivered. Trevor, once again, with a masterpiece of a track.
found this song recently and man does it bring back memories! this song got me in a blood frenzy as my two handed reaver dwarf slaughtered darkspawn one after the other as seemingly endless waves were coming. instead of fear blackwall varric solas and i held our ground. I'll admit though the song did get me too excited a few times and i wouldn't notice my whole party was dead and i was the last standing :P
This is probably the best battle music I've heard from any game whatsoever. I'm only just getting around to playing inquisition, but since starting, I can't play anything else
Same here bro. 3 playthoughs at the same time. Romancing Cassandra as a human templar, romancing Solas as a Knight Enchanter (which I DO recommend) and romancing Blackwall as a Dwarven tempest rogue. All at Cory's doorstep. I just can't finish the game yet.
AstralSword mine was a dalish mage romancing Cullen. A very awesome combination I must say. She was usually fairly diplomatic but occasionally got aggressive, especially in Trespasser
The part where they keep coming and you need to kill the bosses, I spent over an hour just killing the smaller ones. This song just kept me going. I did it on the hardest difficulty aswell. knight enchanter is king.
This was the most epic part of all of Inquisition. I legit felt threatened. I was on nightmare at the time, and good god. Those darkspawn didnt hold back.
When this moment comes, in the fiery dungeons of the deep roads, when harlocks, genlocks attack you in waves, then ogres follow, and then emissaries, as you break through hordes of enemies, forward, to the goal... To this music, why- then I immediately remember Moria from The Lord of the Rings, but the moment itself feels much more epic, tense and even cooler! The best execution of deep roads in the entire history of the series, in my opinion!

This soundtrack along with the soundtrack you hear when you discover skyhold and trespasser final ost are one of the best in the series.
That Alpha Emissary was fucking tough.
That whole fight was fucking ridiculous. I failed my first try on it, and my second try took 2 1/2 hours.

Step 1: Have your warrior spam improved "Horn of Valor" for the free party-wide guard.

@@SeventhheavenDK fuck outta here negative nancy. it's called an opinion. you don't share the opinion? then move on down the road. no need for shit talking. we don't need your negative energy here.
I made sure to finish the main game before starting this DLC. (lol for rp purposes, I don't like the idea of Solas knowing about ancient dwarven secrets buried deep underground) Man, the first time I laid my eyes upon those lyrium caves and crazy building structures... it was amazing. QAQ I was so glad to learn new facts about the titans and dwarves!
Most epic tune for epic battles. Still getting chills when i hear it 😉
Did anyone else feel like they were in a epic battle scene from a film or something? I am playng a dalish elf archer and i had dorian (obviously xD), Black wall and varric and i was having to switch between members to manage the battle, it was truly epic. best part of all 3 games for me so far....
Wish this was on spotify
This whole section honestly got me pumped. I’d been playing around with masterworks and thanks to one my mage got guard on hits, like the warriors, I basically had three tanky frontline fighters, my Qunari KE, Cass, and Blackwall, while Sera peppered the darkspawn with arrows. The music really added to the whole thing, the only thing it was missing was my Hero of Ferelden carving up darkspawn with her swords.
Exactly this. The Hero of Ferelden (or the Awakening Warden for those that needed a replacement) should had been in this fight.
Tho, in my case my Warden would have blasted everything with her magic.
Excellent music for such an epic battle with the darkspawn. This game got some hate, but I thought is was a really good game. I loved it.
God this batlteusic is the best in all of dragon age I swear
I just got new headphones and put this on.
Chills. Holy shit.
this music gets the new meaning when playing on the nightmare difficulty -_-
This music is awesome!
This one time when Inquisition felt like Origin.
But with better gameplay features, right? ;)
@@Maubari depends.
i love the deep roads and his dark history
This fight as artificer dagger rogue is hilarious...explosions Everywhere!! accidentally flank attacked off the ledge twice. Then said ok I'm switching to sera for a bit. Once I got to a safer area I switched back to my character. My team was Sera (archer), Dorian (fire/necro/spirit), cassandra (templar/tank). But yeah some of the best fighting in the game.
DLC bosses were freakin' damage sponges. Worst one of all was the final boss in trespasser. Died like 50+ times. Can't tell you how many times my own hand ended up ruining things for me.
I beat him with just Cass while my whole party had died. After a good 10-15 minutes of bug bites, he finally went down
I just played the descent ONLY for the darkspawn fight with this OST. Wasn't disappointed, truly epic, for a moment I thought it would never end when the emissary showed up. Cassandra was barely tanking, Varric was dying on me while Dorian was sitting in the middle of the rooms laughing and my Knight enchanter Trevelyan was really sweating. Damnit Varric, I had to control him to had him live through.
This is, BY FAR, the only song I really like on Dragon Age Inquisition.
I love this song, but i hate the battle bcs there was always a glitch that made me had to starts again in the PC 😂
Akane Merlo I feel you I literally got a console copy cause of how focused the game was to consoles
hurlock archer is goat, its arrow hurt like a hit from ogre alpha
Idk why but I listen to this everytime I'm on skyrim fighting a dragon or something.
So, I didn't know that Tresspasser was the ending DLC, so I played it immediately after beating Corypheus. So, the Inquisitor never finished Descent, and didn't go to Hakkon. I don't currently have the heart to go start all over again now.
Ooh... that's tough. I remember I had to play Origins 5 times. The first time, I had given the wrong skills to my character. Second time, I got a new Xbox, so I could never finish that game. Third time, I messed up, and (spoilers) Alastair could never become King while keeping Loghain alive. Fourth time, I kept dying because my character was a glass cannon. Finally, on my fifth time, I beat all of the game and DLC, with a Arcane Warrior Mage. I was pretty happy with that run.
I've learned to make multiple saves before any important scene/decision, so if I don't like something I only have to go back a little ways and correct my choices.
Brooke S I never did that, because I wanted to live with my decisions. I chose to (SPOILER)
Recruit the Wardens, because I wanted to live in the moment. If a decision had consequences, then I would live with them, and through plot, everything would be fine later on.
Yeah because it's not like there was red sign that said something like you will not be able to return after the mission (sarcasm). Seriously some people should read mission descriptions at least.
DragonCreation Hooray just in case you never found out Loghain can be a warden and Alister can also be king in the same world but Alister must be harden.
To do this you must go see Alister sister and after the confrontation when you go outside tell Alister "Everyone is looking out for themselves you should know that" making Alister more independent and make decisions on his own accord
So … where is the Stargate?
i couldnt kill one ofnthe ogres cause it glitched through the map, so i was just getting wave after wave of darkspawn so i panicked and restarted the stage
It has this nice Uncharted feel to it. It's a great composition. :)
assasin Sera, Colt, and Inquisitor plus blackwall? too easy...
Who's Colt. And Sera sucks.
Fun story: During my playthrough, Dorian glitched through the floor and and left me without a mage halfway through the fight. I managed to reach the part with the ogres, and got beaten to a pulp. Iron Bull and Sera both got taken out after about a minute, and my character (a Templar with the Sulevin Blade) spent another 2 minutes trying not to die. Ultimately, one of the ogres landed a killing blow at the exact same time Dorian glitched back in and immediately used Revival, bringing back the whole team. It happened at just the right time that my control didn't have time to switch to Dorian. My character just ran out of health, staggered for a half second, and then floated off the ground with glowing angel wings. The music at that moment? 2:10. Picture that in your head.
+William Edward I completed that DLC without a mage with my main - a human rogue tempest. I took Cassandra, Blackwall and Cole. The warriors were so well equipped that Blackwall was literally invincible. With a tactical preference for constant taunts the warriors took on hordes of 'spawn while me and Cole shot at them at range. On nightmare the battles are quite difficult, not to mention that I had "Walk Softly" and "Even Ground" on, so I was fighting monstrously difficult level 27 'spawn with special abilities. Burned through 9 mighty offence tonics, 8 rock armor tonics, 4 antivan fire grenades, 20 restoration potions and several batches of 12 healing potions.
+William Edward That's so awesome, must have felt ghoooood
That's so cool sir!
What? There's no applause?
applauds hastily
God could you imagine playing a DAO remake in Inquisition’s engine, braving the deep roads again with this track BLASTING.
A remake would surely ruin the epic game Origins is.
@@SeventhheavenDK if they did to orgins what they did to mass effect in the legendary edition I think it would work out.
@@kf3920 100%
I'm going to blast a nasty ass fart right in your mouth
Inquisition engine is bad.
A whole LOT of glitches.
No, Unreal Engine 5 would be most preferable.
Even UE4 would be sufficient.
The Remake Trilogy.😃
You know considering all the darkspawn that was there I'm surprised no one in my team got the blight.
No companion in DA:O and no non-graywarden DAII characters got blighted at all if we want to consider that.
Your sibling gets the blight in DA2 and dies if you don't bring Anders to perform the Joining. but yeah apart from that everyone else is protected by plot armour.
Well, Blackwall has been doing it for a while, he doesn't wear that ridiculously thick padded armour for nothing, y'know. The mages avoid physical contact, Cole is a spirit and Cassandra is immune to corruption (it's hinted that seekers can't get the blight during Cass's comp quest). Qunari are immune to most kinds of poison, and apparently that makes it harder, but not impossible, for them to catch the blight. Basically everyone in your party has some story element that makes them unlikely to contract the blight, everyone except for the Inquisitor. The inquisitor again gets told to keep his/her mouth shut while fighting them because the blood is poison.
SerWarden cassandra is immune to possession, not to the blight, they are two different things.
+David Kings Like I said, During Cassandra's companion quests it's hinted that seekers are immune to the blight. The Seekers were fed red lyrium, which is lyrium tainted by the blight, but they were found immune
God i loved that Wave fight with Dark spawns.
i played it like 50 times in a row from a save point before the door lol. couldn't get enough of smashing all those darkspawn to this badass score
That fight was the bane of my existence on my nightmare+trials playthrough bc I accidentally went in with Dorian having the wrong element staff. So instead of wiping the floor with the emissary, it became a battle of attrition between me (the mage with the correct kind of staff) and the emissary while the rest of my party held off the regenerating waves of enemies. Tbh, in retrospect, it was kind of epic when I consider it as a fight of endurance, but damn if it wasn't tiring at the time.
@@imreallytired7335 just did the fight tonight with on Nightmare with Even Grounded on (cause yay lv24 enemies) and damn. Being a 2 handed Reaver makes this fight am absolute treat. Built myself and team to be as unkillable as possible and didn't have an issue until the Emissary cause Dorian uses a lightning staff in my game. Granted, he mainly uses fire spells and I had the fire tremor attack so we managed. But circle of pain and dragon rage spam won us the fight in the end. Can't wait to reach the Titan. Obliterated Hakkon at level 21 and I can't wait to see what Dragon Rage does to the Titan.

This DLC had some of the toughest fights in the entire game.
I was kind of kicking myself after the Darkspawn Nest fight. By the time the emissary showed up, I was down to about four health potions and they didn't last very long. I spent a good chunk of the fight having a character running around and reviving fallen characters just so that they could do a bit of damage before getting KO'd again (Dorian's "simulacrum" ability was a lifesaver - it kept him alive and invulnerable just long enough to revive two other party members).
So, after an extremely long fight with the Emissary, he finally died. As I went out to loot some corpses, what did I find right next to the nearest doorway? A supply cache! Damn! I wish I had noticed that mid-fight; it would have saved me a real headache.
@@aaronaustin9814 . Yes, yes, 🙄.
Pretty sure the op is talking about that precious and important first time when you are not prepared for it.
@@SeventhheavenDK that’s true the first time I played the game I was a 2 handed champion and didn’t know what I was doing I never died but stuff took forever to kill
I know everyone is going bananas over Trespasser (and we should be, as its important) but the Decent is incredibly important in changing a major perspective on the entire history and lore of Dragon Age.
For the longest time we had pictured the Ancient Elves from Arlathan as the pinnacle of everything Dragon Age had put in front of us. For that to be utterly outplayed by something known as the "Titans". Now we are getting somewhere.
We weren't sure what to think of the Ancient Elves, especially from having learned the fate of the major players like Fen'Harel, Elgar'nan and Mythal and the rest of them.
To know that there IS (not might be) something beyond even them and they've been seeking release for an uncountable amount of time far surpassing the ancient elves, just goes to show how much shit is going to hit the fan in the next few games.
Hold on to your pants, they might fly off lol
+Tyler Bryant Agreed, the revelation in Descent is mindblowing in terms of the Dragon Age lore!
+Tyler Bryant I totally agree, although I personally think even greater ramifications are how this revelation completes the potential for subtle connections between Dwarven, Elven AND Human religion/lore in a circle.
For me, Elven and Human beliefs always had clear overlaps, you could see the possibility that they were using different names for some of the same beings/events. But before this, Dwarven beliefs were somewhat disparate.
But the discovery of the Titans raises a huge amount of questions about who/what exactly trapped the Old Gods in the stone of the Earth that is described in the Chant of Light.
How do the Darkspawn possibly relate to the Titans, why does the Blight seem to originate in the physical world from down deep?
Is the Maker real but just a Titan?
It points to a really cool idea about religion, that all separate beliefs are splinters from a single truth that became distorted over time.
Garry Cotton Oh yeah, Im looking forward to it all, can't wait!
+Tyler Bryant As what The Inquisitor said "I'm leaving with more questions than answers"
+Tyler Bryant Especially since it appears that lyrium is like Titan blood. And red lyirum is regular lyirum with the blight...imagine a Titan with the blight. How would you even fight something like that except with another Titan?
Like two mountains smashing into each other...
Just beat Descent, immediately came looking for the soundtrack, you have not disappointed!
As a Knight Enchanter I love the dark spawn wave part of the dlc, even though I have to babysit Bull and Cole a lot while Dorian is frikkin shouting "I could do this all day!" lmao
This fight is just as, or even better, as a two handing Reaver. If you max out your guard potential nothing can actually get past your guard, even on Nightmare, during the whole fight other than the Emissaries. Did it this evening and god, it was so good. Marking areas with Ring of Pain and ripping Darkspawn apart with Dragon Rage and healing up with Devour has never felt so good. Seriously, mix it with the badass sounds of Unbowed activating due to Fade Touched Bloodstone and the gutteral sounds of Reaver skills just makes it feel like medieval Doom in a way.
I don't know what it is but something about this music just invokes lots of feelings. Part of it is that 'dwarf' feeling you get, in addition to the nostalgia of it hearkening back to DAO.
for sure man. it is great!
You're indoctrinated!
Love when this music kicks in whilst surrounded by hordes of darkspawn. That's how the deeproads fights should be.
For all its fault, high fantasy never fails in one field:
Good versus Evil.
Retaking ground against the Darkspawn in the deep road, especially as, or in the name of, dwarves is the best feeling ever. It's pushing off the darkness, rediscovering old glories, and pushing the limits of heroism to its greatest heights at the same time.
I hope Dragon Age 4 can capture the high fantasy feel of the descent and mix it with the OG dark fantasy. H
They do that and good the game will be perfect thematically.
@@DragonessYT I really hope so too, but the creative director has me very concerned. Dude is proudly tweeting about how Dragon Age was never dark and how it was always purely about being representative of oppressed minorities. Like, please keep that shit away from what actually made Dragon Age Dragon Age. The game series where we can choose to sacrifice children to have sex with sexy demons. Not dark? Fuck...
Ironically, the game series has indeed always been representative. Just like The Elder Scrolls, they did a great job simply making a world like our own with different lands and different peoples. So why they hired some woke loony to suddenly focus on it more is beyond me and just shattered my hope for the game. They did a great job at inclusion without slapping it in your face. Seems they, like all big companies going woke, forgot what made their own games good.
I fear Inquisition will be the last good Dragon Age. And what a shame it'd be after that incredible ending to Trespasser.
@@TheStraightestWhitest yeah the moment things like "representation" get highlighted is usually when a stories quality comes into question. Not always of course, but most the time (especially presently in different forms of media)
I love this theme. Got me so pumped to kill all those darkspawn, felt like a total badass during the battle.
I had no idea what to expect during this DLC so when I got to the darkspawn horde I was terrified and then the music kicked in and I was just like "OMG! What's happening!?" I think I died about 5 times before I finally got the hang of it. -.-
Me too haha, I'm like what the fuck haha
earthwolf82
I was shrieking “Fuck you!”s at the darkspawn and freaking out, and then I got grounded for screaming foul language in the basement. Ah good times, senior year of high school was one hell of a year and this was one hell of a game
Should have found the Hero of Ferelden down there, slaughtering darkspawn for shits and giggles.
"Are you with the wardens?"
"No we're the in..."
"Then get out of the way, this is no place for children."
lmao.
Blackwall: "well I uh-"
HoF: "Pretender, you toy with forces beyond your ken"
For keep players they’d have to enter character creator for a 2 second gag just to be pissed off at the fact he’s voiced now
This DLC was great, but also difficult, not Golems of Amgarrak difficult, but difficult. Of course, I would've had fonder memories if only one of the Ogres hadn't glitched out of the map while I was pushing the darkspawn out of their nest, making it impossible for me to kill it and forcing me to do the stage all over again, that was on my 4th try, I felt something die inside me when that Ogre fell out of my reach. That part also made me appreciate Blackwall so much I nearly panicked when he disappeared at the beginning of Revelations.
That happened to me to. But I guess they hit something on the way down because they died and I moved forward. Didn't happen when one got launched inside a wall though.
It happened to me too, like three times. And with different enemies.
It happened to me too, but I discovered he doesn't glitch out, he actually gets stuck (weirdly) in the upper parts of the room, you cannot normally see him unless you move the camera, and when that happens only ranged attacks reach him.
It was a pain because I have to target him with my mage while ignoring everything else in the room.
This song was stuck in my head literally all day. Eating lunch listening to this epic music in my head certainly made my life seem way cooler than it actually is!
lmao. have a like.
Well I sometimes use it during shower or while helping in the kitchen.😎
Hyped for DA4
Are you still?
When the dlc is about a Titan but darkspawn still steal the show.
I'm sorry but the darkspawn waves are much harder than fighting high dragons in Emprise Du Lion by a longshot...
2:11 It´s all about this!!!
Inquisition did everything a triple A RPG wants to do, masterfull music, epic story, grand battles and meaning. Ive played for 35 years, and this is the culmination!
Tomas I won't lie my sister just recently got me into dragon age. She let me play inqusition, and helped fill things in if I asked about something lore wise. Unless inqusition explained it later ln at least.
Point is, while I'm still new to this series, I've beaten trespasser, and the decent, but had to kill bull. Broke my heart
Finally got the loyalty quest on my current (3rd) playthrough, and am taking things slower to focus more on the story.
After things like "in your heart shall burn" and killing the "northern hunter" for the first time, (I think that's the name of the electric dragon that's in crestwood. I didn't understand how the attacks worked at the time and even once I did it gave me a difficult time) this game is so friggin good. I can't give it enough praise.
Only 2 games on this level of epicness: Dragon Age: Inquisition and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. They're very similar actually, but yet very different.
ᛞᛟᛟᛗᛁᚾ dont forget origins
Origins is the real MVP.
Except provide a good core game.. anything good requires you best the base game and do the DLC.
All this is doing is giving me PTSD flashbacks to a moment where I COULDN'T SAVE FOR 20 MINUTES!
three darkspawns disliked this video
strayed ghost 8 darkspawn have issues
Those are some cocksuckers!!:)))
11 darkspawn need to be destroyed
No 17 darkspawn choose the death

Trevor Morris made nothing but bangers for this WHOLE game!
Capturing the thaig from the Darkspawn with that soundtrack on the back was a really epic moment...
Took me forever to defeat that emissary alpha, specially when his magic shield kept recovering, I did enjoy this track and the fight tho ❤
Doesn't hit the same without my party shouting "COLE, HANG ON" all the time.
cole do be kinda trash sometimes
@@skyhawkslcb18 only if you let the AI control him
If you take him yourself and only do Stealth/Assassins Blades combo, while having poison weapons heal for 5% and a gain guard on hit weapon ability, he becomes just as immortal
To make it even better, get the Kitty accessory that makes him less resistant to damage, but has a **75%** chance of reviving on death, as well as resisting a death blow and making him immune to damage for a few seconds...
He will still die quite often, but you only have to revive him yourself maybe twice per boss battle

@@spacejesus6581 i’m not gonna micromanage cole. I chose a main character for a reason. Hence cole do be kinda trash sometimes. That is a fact. I was not complaining.

This playing when fighting off endless waves of darkspawn makes me and my party feel so badass
I usually do the descent just before what pride had brought, so by that time I have quite a good level and skills, this battle always feels awesome! However I must admit I had the most fun in my last playthrough where I played a qunari KE using BoT as my main weapon, so I was spamming spells and going melee with fire runes exploding everywhere!
fighting waves of darkspawn
2 ogre
and only two potions left
3 of 4 members half dead
i didn't want to turn around, so charge
one ogre down
why the hell is that working
Might just be the hardest fucking fight in the entire game. Like, it needed all your expertise to win. I remember getting my absolute shit kicked to my teeth, despite being a high level. My party survived solely because of Cole and his Assassin abilities, because that Alpha Emissary constantly took out all of us. You had to grit your teeth in this mission, and I can't even imagine what it'd be in a harder difficulty setting.
_Loved_ it to bits, though. DLCs should be challenging and this definitely delivered. Trevor, once again, with a masterpiece of a track.
I played on nightmare, and let me tell you, I went in expecting a challenge, not to get my ass handed to me every corner
EXPECIALLY as a knight enchanter!
Assassin spec rogue was so ridiculously overpowered in DAI, you actually had to be careful not to bug out certain bosses by killing them to fast.
@@bnkosu Stealth+Mark of Death+Poison Blades+Assassins Blades took at least a quarter of any Dragon's health
Listening to this while in a lift, really felt like going into the Deep Roads
found this song recently and man does it bring back memories!
this song got me in a blood frenzy as my two handed reaver dwarf slaughtered darkspawn one after the other as seemingly endless waves were coming. instead of fear blackwall varric solas and i held our ground.
I'll admit though the song did get me too excited a few times and i wouldn't notice my whole party was dead and i was the last standing :P
If all three protags went into the Deep Roads together the Darkspwan wouldn't stand a chance.
Great upload. This soundtrack made the fight.
Epic no...Ultraepic. That part is one of my favourites.
This is probably the best battle music I've heard from any game whatsoever. I'm only just getting around to playing inquisition, but since starting, I can't play anything else
Same here bro. 3 playthoughs at the same time. Romancing Cassandra as a human templar, romancing Solas as a Knight Enchanter (which I DO recommend) and romancing Blackwall as a Dwarven tempest rogue. All at Cory's doorstep. I just can't finish the game yet.
AstralSword mine was a dalish mage romancing Cullen. A very awesome combination I must say. She was usually fairly diplomatic but occasionally got aggressive, especially in Trespasser
Best battle music and scene in the series, save for the storming of the gates at Denerim in Origins maybe
Music is epic, but playing as an assassin rogue who can one shot on the emissary takes the epic down a notch or two.
The part where they keep coming and you need to kill the bosses, I spent over an hour just killing the smaller ones. This song just kept me going. I did it on the hardest difficulty aswell. knight enchanter is king.
This was the most epic part of all of Inquisition. I legit felt threatened. I was on nightmare at the time, and good god. Those darkspawn didnt hold back.
Such a buggy fight if you play as a 2h warrior and use whirlwind. The amount of darkspawn that got stuck underground...
I miss this series
When this moment comes, in the fiery dungeons of the deep roads, when harlocks, genlocks attack you in waves, then ogres follow, and then emissaries, as you break through hordes of enemies, forward, to the goal... To this music, why- then I immediately remember Moria from The Lord of the Rings, but the moment itself feels much more epic, tense and even cooler! The best execution of deep roads in the entire history of the series, in my opinion!
Everyone in the cs is complaining about Emissary Alpha but me as a 2H warrior had trouble dealing with Genlock Alphas
Alpha Orge>Alpha Emissary>Saarath>Gurd Harofsen>Saarebas>Corypheus
Some people think the alpha emissary is one of the hardest bosses in the game, but in reality the alpha emissary's shield is
If DA4 dosent mentions the titans again i will be so pissed
The power of music
This theme really made your blood boil during a tough fight! Perfection!
This fight was like running a fucking marathon.
LOL I thought I was the only one who thought that...
