Dragon Age Origins - Ruined Temple

Fantasy game art from Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition (Dragon Age: Origins, the Awakening expansion, and all official Downloadable Content).

Collapsed sections in the Ruined Temple force detours into a system of caves with small dragons and dragon cultists that finally leads up to the upper temple and out onto the top of a mountain. From there it is a short walk to the resting place of the Urn of Sacred Ashes, within a test of worthiness called The Gauntlet.






At the mountaintop, it is possible to force an encounter with the High Dragon worshipped by the dragon cultists. A coordinated effort with extensive help from mages can handle this encounter quite easily even on Dragon Age's "Nightmare Difficulty" and with limited resources. We have included a video showing how difficult a High Dragon is against a single character forced to fight in hand-to-hand range. The character is a Warrior specializing in two-handed melee weapons and with the Champion and Berserker specializations; set on the default Aggressive Scrapper AI and no other player interaction. The immortality cheat was activated from the console for this demonstration. It ends with the special death animation for High Dragons when killed by hand-to-hand combat (at around 6:55 into the video).

Another High Dragon can be fought at Flemeth's Hut in the Korcari Wilds, but in that battle the dragon does not move from its starting location. On the wide battlefield of the mountaintop, a High Dragon can fly to reposition and pursue higher-priority targets.

The Bard's Tale - Dun Ailinne Treasure Map

Fantasy art from The Bard's Tale fantasy role playing game. This cutscene features dialogue from the Houton blacksmith concerning his treasure map. Although the Bard being scammed is entirely in keeping with the overall tone of the game world, the treasure map was in fact a good one, as Dun Ailinne hides, among other things, the Golden Spyglass, which increases all future treasure finds by 10%.
