Even if you haven’t played any Dragon Age title, you must have heard of the High Dragons. These vicious creatures are a tough enemy to beat. They are always on the lookout for food and if it is not your lucky day, prepare to be in for a roaring fight!
Fangscorcher is the first High Dragon you will come across in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Check out where you can find the beast and more importantly, how you can defeat it.
Slaying the Fangscorcher
The first time you will hear about Fangscorcher is in a conversation with a Lord of Fortune, Cutter, during Taash’s Companion quest.
Fangscorcher now nestles in a deserted village bordering Arlathan Forest.
The beast has been terrorizing village folks, killing anyone she sets her sight on. The quest is called “Slaying the Fangscorcher” and will begin after A Dragon Class.
The exact location of the quest is north of Arlathan Forest, next to the Water Puzzle. Fast travel to Arlathan Forest then find the dragon’s lair. Follow Taash’s orders and lay low until the dragon appears.
You can’t do a surprise attack since Fangscorcher knows that the area has been breached.
On the way, you will discover a new area called the Enchanted Courtyard. You have to defeat the Antaam here.
After doing so, look around the place until you spot the Fangscorcher. Should be easy enough, the dragon’s fire is hard to miss.
How to beat the Fangscorcher?
The key to beating Fangscorcher is to dodge long-distance fireball attacks and jumping in between intervals. Target the dragon’s feet and claws.
Doing so will bring down its Barrier. In the Takedown stage, the Fangscorcher will fall to its side, exposing its heart. There’s a short window here where you need to attack the heart with all you’ve got.
When the Fangscorcher’s health is down to 75%, it will fly away to a cliff and spew fireballs. When the creature comes back down, it will do a body slam targeting you.
The same goes for when its health is halved. The only addition is that it will now summon meteors to attack you. The good thing is the fight is nearing its end. You need to look for cover and dodge again and again.
Look for openings and plan your attacks accordingly. Avoid taking fire damage as it will drain your health quickly.
Before you know it, you will have slain the savage beast!
After defeating the Fangscorcher, find its hoard to claim exclusive rewards.
Here are the rewards for Slaying the Fangscorcher:
- x24 Gold
- Golden Lion
- x2 Royal Elfroot
- Brute Hammer
- Anointed Ash
Finally, talk to Taash when ready to leave. That’s the end of Slaying the Fangscorcher!
