Why Warden Rook can't end an Archdemon | Party Banter - Dragon Age: The Veilguard

[@PixieDrag0ns-r1h]

that little heart broken 'what' from Lucanis is... unexpected.

[@cracmar03]

Well he has a point. You're a leader and after this Archdemon there is still Ghilan'nain and Elgar'nan running. Not to mention soon next Archdemon too. Also only one person has Solas in their head giving intel.

[@ryanfluck1648]

someone want to tell that to the Hero of Feralden? They potentially died ending the fifth blight

[@bevsii]

@@ryanfluck1648 The threat of the fifth blight ended with the death of the Archdemon. This isn't the case here.

[@cracmar03]

@@ryanfluck1648 why .. would be that for HoF ? HoF didn't had Evanuris leading Archdemon pets ? HoF just dealt with June's status symbol blighted. Here you have two Archdemons basically giving immortality to their owners - Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain. Both dragons also became blighted hence full fledged Archdemons. And HoF had option to cheat death with Morrigan asking for baby. Them dying is rejection of any blood magic ritual with her.

[@PartialKredit]

Considering it doesn’t matter anyway they should have given Warden Rook’s the option to try

[@cracmar03]

Still shouldn't for logic of story. You should not risk your leader like that. Similary how I poked myself in head at Origins when you play mage and YOU decide to partake in dangerous Blood Ritual with traitor Jowan and your companions are standing there, seeing their leader, one of last TWO Gray Wardens basically putting their life at risk for very shady Blood Mage plan, and are like "Meh ?? Who cares." ... you would think you volunteering to this ritual would result in everyone in party protesting as you could easily die or get possessed in it.

[@owkttwilane5928]

and this option here, before fight if talk with Darvin u say "i can kill archdemon dragon" and Darvin say "U could, but u leader without u we cant win 2 elven gods"

[@OverLorD768]

Rook sounds so sad, lol. I guess she just wanted out of this terrible game, and the sweet release of death from killing Archdemon was worth it.

[@owkttwilane5928]

Terrible - its when i see people like u :)

[@OverLorD768]

@@owkttwilane5928 what on Earth is that supposed to mean?

[@TheLostShoes]

I'm sorry but Lucanis is the worst, lol. We hired him to do one thing: stab the God. Two times he tries, two times he whiffs, and the second time it costs a companion's life. But I guess we never talk about that.

[@BySpartan]

exactly, its a god and it shouldnt be easy

[@roanc3709]

the target is a god, and the first attempt happens about 30 seconds after she stops being immortal. the second time, he succeeded

[@OverLorD768]

@@roanc3709 no he didn't, lol. He failed second time as well, only got to hit her because one of our companions had to sacrifice himself. Lucanis makes Zevran look like professional, and that is saying something.

[@roanc3709]

@ did you miss the part where ghilanain died and Lucanis killed her?

[@natg4984]

he's a mage killer not a god killer.

[@herrzimm]

So, even the "noble sacrifice" that a Warden (player) has to make is taken out of your hands for this one? Man, why do people who work for Bioware call themselves "fans" of DA.... considering that they have basically wiped the franchise's history (including comics, books and other outlets) by destroying most of (if not all) the south of Thedas? I mean, EVERY choice from Origins through Inquisition means NOTHING if you are just going to toss it all away.

[@OverLorD768]

Oh, it's even worse than that. There is no sacrifice: Davrin just survives (somehow) killing the first Archdemon, and the second one gets chewed down by Big Doggo Solas without any Wardens at all. Current BioWare couldn't care less about their own lore.

[@Just-A-Gamer1524]

​@OverLorD768 these archdemons aren't blighted 🤷‍♀️ no need to worry

[@OverLorD768]

@@Just-A-Gamer1524 ...that's literally NOT how Archdemons work tho.
