Learn how to best handle the Undead in Dragon Age: Inquisition, including Arcane Horrors, Corpses, and Revenants. Discover their weaknesses and resistances to crush them!

Alright, let's talk about the Undead in Dragon Age: Inquisition. These guys can be a real pain if you don't know what you're up against, but with a little know-how, you'll be sending them back to the grave in no time.

We've got three main types to worry about here: Arcane Horrors, Corpses, and Revenants. Each has its own quirks, so let's break 'em down.

Arcane Horror

These are your magic-slinging baddies. They can teleport around the battlefield, which can be super annoying. The good news is they don't have much armor, so they're pretty squishy. Your best bet is to hit them with fire – seriously, light 'em up! They're usually in the middle of a bunch of other undead, leading the charge, so try to take them out first to disrupt their group.

Corpse

On their own, these guys aren't much of a threat. The real danger is that they often show up in huge numbers. You definitely want to deal with them from a distance before they can swarm you. Again, fire is your friend here, as they can be set ablaze with Burning. Just keep them at bay and pick them off.

Revenant

Now, the Revenant is a different beast entirely. These guys can literally pull you in from across the battlefield, then just smash you with their massive shield and sword. Unlike the other undead, Revenants have a ton of health and very high armor. You'll need to rely on fire to really wear them down, but more importantly, you need to have good sustainability – meaning you need to be able to heal yourself or endure their attacks to outlast them. It's a war of attrition with these ones.

So, remember: Fire is almost always your best bet against the undead, especially for burning down those tough Revenants. Keep an eye on your positioning, especially with the Arcane Horrors teleporting around, and don't let the Corpses overwhelm you. You got this!
