If you want to complete your quests in Dragon Age: The Veilguard without any hassle, you’ll have to know all about your enemies’ weakpoints to do maximum damage.
With plenty of time between the upcoming Dragon Age game and the older titles, there are some obvious changes under the hood. In combat, paying attention to your enemies’ weakpoints will allow you to erode their health pool faster. It’s also pretty easy to hit the soft spots of your foes once you know where to hit, and there’s a proper indicator available as well.
All weakpoints in Dragon Age: The Veilguard
It goes without saying that weakpoints will vary based on your enemies. One of the best things to do is to go for the head. Much like your critical shots in Call of Duty Black Ops 6, going for the head will likely do the job for most enemies. You’ll be surprised how common it is.
Once you hit the weakpoint of an enemy, the damage text will show up in purple. That’s the indicator that you have hit the correct spot. However, a few enemies have some unexpected areas to target.
- Archdemon Razikale: Chin/Forehead/Neck
- Blood. Forge Prime: Open Mouth Furnace
- Greater Sentiner: Orb in the torso region
- Greater Hurlock Blighter: Orange pustule
- High Dragons: Glowing legs/underbelly (if you manage to stagger it)
How to get more weakpoint damage in Dragon Age: The Veilguard
The core process is simple in this case as well – just use a better weapon. But in the long run, you’ll want to focus on your class and their areas of specialization. For example, Warriors will do more damage to Staggered enemies, while Mages do a lot of elemental damage. Hence, you’ll want to boost all skills that empower your core abilities.
This is the best way to amplify the damage you cause by hitting an enemy’s weakpoints. There are, however, no abilities to my knowledge that strictly target the soft spots of an enemy.
