Guide to defeating Uldred in Dragon Age: Origins. Learn strategies for the Circle of Magi Part 2 boss fight, including using the Litany of Adralla and managing abominations.

Alright, let's get this done. This section is all about confronting Uldred, the big bad in the Circle of Magi Part 2 quest. He's a tough one, so pay attention!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    When the fight starts, immediately focus on the three abominations. You'll want to use the Litany of Adralla on them. This will stun them, giving you a crucial window to take them down.
  2. 2
    Once the abominations are dealt with, have your tank engage Uldred and try to draw his attention away from the other party members.
  3. 3
    Position one of your ranged characters near the First Enchanter and the other mages.
  4. 4
    Keep an eye on Uldred and the mages. When you see a spell being cast that will transform the mages, use the Litany of Adralla again. This is key to preventing them from becoming even bigger threats.
  5. 5
    From this point on, it's a cycle: keep your tank alive while they're engaged with Uldred, deal damage to Uldred, and interrupt those mage transformations.
Tips
  • Uldred is incredibly powerful and can wipe your party quickly. Don't underestimate him!
  • Freezing the abominations can help a lot if you need more time before you can use the Litany.
  • Seriously, when the game tells you to use the Litany of Adralla, USE IT. It's your best tool here.

After you've dealt with Uldred, you'll need to speak with Irving when you're ready to leave the tower. You can ask him for assistance, and it's highly recommended that you make Wynne a permanent party member if you haven't already. Head back to where you first met Wynne and try to open the basement door. If you touched the statues on the third floor in the correct order, a demon will appear. This demon is Shah Wyrd, and while he's a bit of a challenge, the nearby mages will help you out. Defeating him completes the quest “Watchguard of the Reaching” and he drops a unique Greatsword called Yusaris, plus some gems. Once that's done, open your World Map and set course for Redcliffe Village.
