I just beat the game solo on nightmare as an archer and I can say the absolute number 1 tip is to craft a good weapon early on. have the black emporium dlc and go there after finding mother giselle and buy a tier 2 bow. You'll pull 1.4k crits at level 3

Automated tactical control in this game is absolute garbage compared to DA:O and DA2, and the AI is dumb, so your companions are for the most part useless, unless you're micromanaging every single thing they do, which in an open-world, single player MMO-like RPG with millions of sidequests it gets very exhausting after a while.

Top 10 tips on why to NEVER play on Nightmare mode: 1) Do not play if you have arthritis. 2) Do not play if you have carpel tunnel syndrome. 3) Do not play if you have ADD or ADHD. 4) Do not play if you are a daydreamer , have a lot of children or are trying to multi-task. 5) Do not play if you don't like running around like a chicken with your head cut off. 6) Do not play if you don't like dying 1 million times or more. 7) Do not play if you don't like pausing a game and giving game commands every 3 seconds. 8) Do not play if you don't like long drawn out battles. 9) Do not play if you want to keep your heart, stress and overall health levels at a good rate. 10) Do not play if if you get angry and frustrated easily. It just might save you money from purchasing a new computer or console? Have a great life and enjoy the game your way!

Nightmer is hard only if u dont look up ANY guides. All characters have exploitable ginmicks that make the op and even abke to solo the game on nightmer. Artificer got infinite abilities, knight enchanter is immortal cause of barrier, rift mage has infinite mana with almost zero cd, champion has invincibility almost always up cause of 2 handed tree that reduces cd on enemies hit plus vigor refill, and assassins can onehot enemyes 1v1 than run repeat ez, si all classes have at least 1 character that can solo the game on nightmare. Plus there are a lot of in game exploits to duplicate unique items and sell them for infinite money, and there is black emporium if u need crit base stuff. Almost everything that revolves around regen mana and reduce cd is about crit hits, they are broken

Considering you know how the game works (you chose Nightmare difficulty so you have to) you don't really need those potions if you just know your limitations.

Well, most of the statements seem fairly obvious to me. What I don't really understand, is how people even play on Nightmare as Archers? By the time I had to face the first boss in the ruines, my single shot from a shitty bow did very little damage (basically none at all), whilst the boss has dozens of thousands HP and inflicts massive damage which Solas alone cannot heal. This fight wasn't that difficult for a Mage OR a melee Rogue on Hard, but the Nightmare + Rogue archer... (((

good tips, my nightmare run consists of archer Inquisitor, tank (Casandra, sword and shield) tank (Blackwall, 2 handed) and support/DPS (Vivian). I would also add, don't rush some encounters, try to have at least 1-2 levels on every encounter (you can see what level the enemies are, try to have your level at least even with all encounters) I found some of the fade rift encounters in the Hinterlands for example hard to achieve early on (they spawn level 12 demons) hard if you rush in say at level 7-9.(the one in the cave near the Mercenary fortress was particularly hard for me on nightmare)

I was wondering if you could give me some specific advice on how I'm currently working with my characters? I currently run my character as a mage (no specialization yet, need to get the materials to become Knight Enchanter) and then I have Solas, Varric, and Blackwall. I try my hardest to avoid Cole and Sera because I can't stand their character. Anyways, I'll go into a lot more detail if you reply to this, but I won't right now just in case it's all for nothing.

this is my second play through on nightmare. first time i was a rift mage, too easy. i mostly used knight enchanter viv to take out the high dragons. I killed 7 high dragons with her knight enchanter spirit blade. I killed one with sera's thousand cuts. i took serra, thousand cut, and the dragon fell afterwards. the other two i just messed around. I also used viv to beat the ending boss and the red lyrium dragon. In my second play through that I'm playing now, I'm a duel wielding rogue. im playing on nightmare and it's too easy. i wait til i get to skyhold to unlock focus before closing most of the rifts and fighting every thing. I fought the ferelden frost back earlier, took it out in no time with viv. i got her guard on hit and her barrier that stays up. it's almost like she's invincible with it. im in the fallow mires now, and i fought a revenant from a rift, slaughtered it lol. I used mark of the rift from my rogue and then took viv and blackwall and cassandra all with guard on hit armor, slaughtered that stupid revenant. he couldnt even touch us. then i fought that high boss of the mire, i forget his name. took viv, cass and blackwall, guard on hit armor, slaughtered him. he kept trying to run away when i took viv's spirit blade and hacked away at him. i love fighting most battles after getting to skyhold. my advice, get to skyhold around level 10, unlock focus abilities for everyone, respec, and then go out and adventure. i didnt do this the first go around and i got my butt kicked lol. but this time i went to skyhold around level 10, unlocked my focus abilities and started cleaning house. it doesnt take anytime at all with mark of the rift and the right people. my viv is invincible and nothing can touch her in this game and my dual wielding rogue inquisitor is unstoppable. nightmare is not that bad. just gotta know how to play. i will admit it's tough playing as a rogue on nightmare. it's best to go with archer or mage but it's not all that bad. just take a mage with you if you're a dual wield rogue. if im fighting tons of enemies at one time, i switch to vivienne and start wielding her spirit blade and fade cloak. On the last play through, i had viv, killing two of those pride demons at a time that came out of those fade rifts, plus she can deflect hits with her spirit blade. nightmare too easy.

TheMonster5103 Hey you know, you can make your knight enchanter even more invincible by putting fade touched items on him/her. What I did, once I go to skyhold and got dagna there, I put fade touched on everyone. Now, my entire party is super invincible. On my knight enchanter viv, I have hidden blades on her, 2/3 guard on hit, and she is just unstoppable. On myself, a dual rogue, i got hidden blades, 2% chance to gain fade cloak and the chain lightening thing for weapons. What you want to do is, get as many fade touched items as you can get before you get to skyhold and then once you get there, and do what you have to do, start putting fade touched stuff on equipment. My party is unstoppable now. I dont even break a sweat killing high level enemies anymore. But to level up faster, I dont know, just have to close a few fade rifts or keep killing enemies. just keep killing, saving, start again and go from there.

TheMonster5103 Are you playing nightmare? I play nightmare all the time and I can kill enemies way above my level. I've killed high dragons three or four levels above me. It just depends on who you have in your party. Best way is for you to just engage enemies and run around if you have to. Enemies energy bars don't respawn unless it's a high dragon. So just fight, run and if your party is killed, run away til they revive and then reengage enemies til they die. You just have to use the right strategies.
