Learn how to defeat the Broodmother in Dragon Age: Origins. This guide covers its attacks, drops, and the best strategies for taking down its tentacles and the boss itself.

Alright, so you've made it to the Broodmother. This is a pretty intense fight, but don't sweat it! We'll get you through this.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The main thing to remember here is to keep your distance and focus your attacks on the Broodmother's tentacles.
  2. 2
    When she starts summoning Darkspawn, you absolutely need to switch your focus to them right away. They can build up quickly and become a real problem if you ignore them.
  3. 3
    Once you've taken down a few of the tentacles, the fight gets a lot easier. You'll have more breathing room to just wail on the Broodmother.
  4. 4
    Her spit attack can be pretty dangerous, so try to dodge it if you can. Other than that, there's not too much to worry about.
  5. 5
    A pro tip: the tentacles can be frozen and stunned! Definitely take advantage of that. Spells like Blizzard can be amazing here.
  • Effort (Silverite)
  • Ring of Selection

With that tough fight out of the way, your next objective is to head to the Anvil of the Void.
