10 Shockingly Simple Ways To Defeat Gaming's Toughest Bosses
8. Gaxkang The Unbound (Dragon Age: Origins)
Outranking even the High Dragon as the most powerful foe slain in the game, the clash with Gaxkang the Unbound comes at the end of the Unbound side quest. Even completing the tasks leading up to the abomination can be an arduous process. You must acquire a letter, a journal and initiate some dialogue with a nervous adventurer before you can even attempt to tackle the difficult boss; each of these stipulations are dispersed across the game's beautifully detailed universe. Why bother, you might ask. If the prize of overcoming one of the games toughest opponents isnt enough, Gaxkang will drop the Keening Blade, arguably the most powerful longsword in the game. There is also a chance that he will drop Fade Wall, a heavy shield which adds a very welcome 20% to all the healing effects you receive. Easy Route To Victory Without the correct members in your party, defeating Gaxkang without resorting to some sneakiness can be frustratingly difficult. It is far easier to defeat the abomination through a series of strafing runs. Enter the Quant Hovel where he has surprisingly chosen to reside, attack him until your party is in danger and then hurriedly leave the hovel. The overpowered abomination will not chase you and you will be given some vital time to recover. Once you re-enter the shack, Gaxkang will still be on the same health he was on when you retreated, while you will be replenished. Honourable? No. Effective? Highly.
