Learn how to find and defeat the High Dragon in Dragon Age II's Act III. Get the Urzara's Tooth unique item by completing the Herbalist's Tasks quest after the fight.

Alright, so you've made it to Act III in Dragon Age II, and there's an optional, but pretty rewarding, encounter waiting for you: the High Dragon. It's a tough fight, but the loot is totally worth it. After you've dealt with the dragon, there's a little follow-up quest that nets you a unique item. Let's break it down!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The Dragon Fight: First things first, you need to find and defeat the High Dragon. This is a serious boss fight, so make sure your party is well-equipped and ready for a challenge. The source text doesn't give us the specifics on *where* this dragon is, but it's a major optional encounter in Act III. Just know that it's a tough one!
  2. 2
    Herbalist's Tasks: Once you've successfully slain the High Dragon (congrats!), you'll want to head over to the Gallows. Look for an NPC named Solivitus. He's the one who'll give you the next step.
  3. 3
    The Reward: Talk to Solivitus and give him the fire gland that you got from the High Dragon. In return, he'll give you a unique item called **Urzara's Tooth**.
Tips
  • This High Dragon fight is no joke. Make sure your gear is upgraded and consider bringing companions with strong ranged attacks or abilities that can exploit elemental weaknesses if you know them.
  • Don't forget to grab the fire gland from the dragon's remains after the fight – you'll need it for Solivitus.
  • Urzara's Tooth is a pretty neat unique item, so it's definitely worth the effort to track down this optional boss and complete the follow-up task.
  • Defeating the High Dragon grants you 25 experience points.
  • Completing the Herbalist's Tasks by turning in the fire gland to Solivitus rewards you with Urzara's Tooth.
