Only four heroes remain to protect Ehb. Our Dungeon Siege 3 Walkthrough provides you with details about how to build your heroes, info on the story campaign, and secrets to unlock.
Azunite Spire
Before storming straight into the spire you may be stopped by Rajani and Saraya. If you've been just in the past they may be there to reason with you. It's in your best interest to agree with them about trying to save their Archon sisters. However two of them have been driven mad and must be killed to reach Jeyne: The Archon of War and the Archon of Vengeance.
You'll first come to a three way branch in the road. Kill off all of the enemies here and you will be granted access to the switch in the center. This will unlock the gate to the north where you can open a second lock to the west. Take this west gate and fight through the enemies forces. Despite your words to the Archons, you will still have to kill a few Archon Handmaids that refuse to give up. They fight just like a beefed up Anjali, so if you've been using her in the party you'll know how the Archons attack.
You'll eventually come to a lift that will take you to the Archon of War. She fights exclusively in Anjali's Human Form, mean she specializes in close range attacks. If you have a ranged character you can simply stand back and pelt the Archon with your guns and spells. It's also great to have Lucas on hand to tank the enemy directly. With her lack of range, this Archon is the easer of the two you will be facing.
Backtrack to the previous crossroads and take the eastern path this time. You will have to kill a few more Handmaidens and Azunite Lieutenants through this wing. As with all other minibosses, beware of their damaging auras that will make it dangerous to melee them. If Lucas is one of your team members, be on the ready to revive him as he will take constant damage getting close and personal with the enemy.
You'll come to a second lift that will take you to the Archon of Vengeance. She keeps to Anjali's Fire Form and will mainly cast spells. She is also able to summon up three fire dogs at once, which are more of a problem than the boss itself. Let your partner deal with the boss while you distract the pets. You can simply run around and the dogs will expend after a set amount of time, or you can attack them and kill them faster with your ciritcals.
When the summons are dead, help out your party in taking on the Archon directly. Her only really threatening attack are her multishot fireballs. Each one can deal about 200 damage, but if you're standing too close you might bite the whole cluster for 1000 or more points of pain.
With the two top dogs dead as doornails, head back to the cross roads and enter the next open gate blocking off the northern path. You'll find Jeyne and her friend Chakti waiting for you here. Neither Archon will fight you directly, instead hiding behind a barrier and casting a few deadly spells.
A flood of Azunites and goblins will attack from all sides. Your main goal is to kill the two Cyclops Brutes that appear among the fray. Focus on these giants to the point of ignoring the rest of the enemy (Unless you really need to recharge your power or focus). After killing the two enemies, Chakti will attack.
With Jeyne's spells filling the screen like crazy and a second Archon on your tail, you'll need to move and dodges constantly. Focus all of your might on the enemy boss and ignore the on coming waves of substandard soldiers. Things might get more tricky if your partner falls to the onslaught: In this case get your healing buffs on fast and spin around the circle shield until you can revive without being stunned or pushed.
Once Chakti is dead, Jeyne will flee to the next level of the tower. She will face you along with two more Archon lackies. This will be a somewhat daunting battle, as despite all of the enemies being major bosses, there is no life meter indicating your progress. Still concentrate your attacks first on the melee Archon, the ranged Archon, and finally on Jeyne. The enemies aren't super offensively strong, but will keep you busy in this 2 on 3 fight.
Jeyne will flee a second time and head to the roof. For this next battle she will use her full Fire Form. This doesn't mean she's a ranged caster though. Jeyne will often teleport close in and attack for combos nearing 800 or more damage. You will need to dodge constantly to keep safe. Keep your empowered healing abilities on to help both you and your partner.
The best tactic for this fight is to play decoy and dodge all of Jeyne's assaults while your party gets in free attacks. Anjali is the recommended partner for this fight as she can deal both brutal damage close and from afar. The fight should go rather smoothly as long as you can keep out of the Archon's reach and counter with a quick hit once in a while. Just be sure to never use a move that grounds you, as being hit by any of the boss' attacks can rapidly spell doom.

Kurtis Seid is a sadomasochist for games. He’s clocked over 200 days in a Final Fantasy entry but isn’t sure if he’s actually a fan of the series. His ideal game would somehow involve the harshest elements of King’s Quest, Team Fortress, River City Ransom, Ogre Battle, and Dark Souls.

Gear tips- Don't rely on value of item to chose best gear. - Look at stats that compliment your favorite skills, is no point in having high will if you a tank and no intention of using magic. - Vampire and stagger are priceless - If you have desert expansion boost gear not weapons and it will boost both stances
I must be a moron if this is dumbed down controls, with the 21 combat options I am constantly screwing up :) my only issue with game was camera angle and controlling camera especially with ranged character. These whiners who say no playability have me dumbfounded, the skill tree makes it replayable
Have more then 1 save thought , cause they lock the gate on you once you get to Upper Ravins Rills. To the town Hall to fight Rajani. I didn't and now I'm stuck here and cannot level up anymore or leave for more equipement.
is this a skyrim type of game or do you HAVE to vs spiders that massive spider cause im afraid of spiders and im 12
there are a few spiders in here but can kill them pretty easy most times. It is a fun game. Have more then 1 save thought , cause they lock the gate on you once you get to Upper Ravins Rills. To the town Hall to fight Rajani.
I don"t hate this game if you shelled out 60.00 bucks i could see how that wold suck but how good did you really expect it to be i mean obsidian made it was well worth the $18.00 i payed and co-op is a blast
you can buy at Amazon or Steam. I got for 5 dollars form Amazon and you have to make an account on Steam to play. or they have a PS3 version you can get also. On the PC you can use the XBox 360 controler for the game. I used the keyboard for part of the game then I picked up the controller at Best Buy for 25 dollars, and it works great with this game.
@wikkiwild1: I got him with Lucas on the second try, with Katarina as the other party member. Concentrate on destroying the spawning chambers, not on the automatons themselves, maybe lead them away a bit so that you can destroy the chambers without being attacked. Heal from time to time and you should be okay. @derek_brown: Actually, the game is much too easy for a DS game and very simplified, so I can't possibly comprehend what you don't understand.
@wikkiwild1 It took me a while but i finally got the Dapper Old Gent, i got myself ( Anjali ) to lvl 24 and used reinheart in my party and i got him.... but it wasnt easy
I've been stuck at the Dapper Old Gent for quite some time now. All other bosses I defeated easily enough but this guy is challenging. I agree with some about leveling up. It should be easier and not so many choices.
@JJames3dCG I totally agree with your statement. You can honestly say this about QUITE a FEW games out there. Developers and such are willing to spend more money on advertisements on these mediocre games and put that cost to the consumers. There is so many things wrong about how the companies and developers work to put out these games and expect us to continue to buy them at such a high price.
I think the bottom line comes down to this. For a full fledged Disc-Based game at \$60.00 the game is too short and does not include enough content to warrant a buy. It's a definite rent, as playing through everything and searching everywhere as a "completionist" type play through, the game will only take around 10-15 hours max! That is the big down side. The argument can be made that there's 4 characters each with their own play through, but the slight story variations aren't enough to make multiple playthroughs as diff characters worth while. May be fun to tinker around with a 2nd or 3rd character type, but not an entire playthrough. If the game were released on PSN/XBLA for \$9.99 it would have received better scores and been WELL worth the money. I could even be persuaded to spend \$19.99 on it. Was a fun game. But at \$60.00 and disc-based....no way it's worth the purchase. Seems like it was either rushed out the developmental doors, short the other half of the game.....or more likely, the money grubbing companies wanted to release \$7.99 dungeon packs once or twice a month for the next few months to make MORE MONEY, and that's where the other half the game went to. ie: other 10-15 hours of game play (making the would be total hour game play a more respectable 20-30hrs)
Damn. Theres a whole lot of haters on this comment board. While the game isn't a brilliant masterpiece, its definately not Brink bad. Also, it's a good filler untill Skyrim comes out, if you ask me.
Games to hard i dont understand the level up system.......and the level up system is stupid....hey did anyone find any glitch or cheats.............
1 Like Play it with an xbox controller on PC and it's a completely different game. I was pleasantly surprised how much of my hate melted away when i plugged in a controller.
Dc universe is another example of the 'dumbing down' of games released on multi platforms. There was once a time when games would utilise the controller to fully enhance gameplay on each and every platform. Unfortunately it seems that in our present financial global climate, software houses have chosen to save development costs and maximise profit margins. Simply by 'porting' from the now more popular console market to the pc. If u wanted to play with a controller u still had the option in most pc titles to do so. But come on it's a fundamental HUI flaw by altering simple things such as; [left click to walk to and open chest] & replace it with [use keys to walk to chest then press action button to open it] there is no basic utilisation of pc controllers. 1 pad vs 1 keyboard and mouse for a dungeon crawler? Which has more freedom to apply keybinds? Pffft I now sold the pc version and rock the ps3 one instead
If a game is made so that it can easily support a controller, it's almost certainly dumbed down control-wise. I'm not going to debate whether or not simpler controls are a good or bad thing since I haven't played this game beyond the demo, but generally speaking, my experience with PC games that are forced intro controller-complex schemes hasn't been good. After all, this game might not be balanced for lean either.
Dumbed down for consoles? I have to disagree harshly on that point. If anything, it is made so that you can use a controller for the game (my preferred method for gaming today, PC or not) without much trouble or need for configuration. That is why they left a lot of things out that were in the prior Dungeon Siege games, to make it easier on people like myself who prefer the ease of the console.
My Wife loves the original DS so we got this and loaded it on her computer. Right away it is obvious that it is dumed down for consoles. The first clue is that you have to use the pre chosen names instead of your own character name. You cannot save at any point just at predetermined points. The graphics are fair but after all they have to be supported by ancient console technology. The controls are clearly dumed down. It is a fair game and I think the rating of 6 is about right.
Added Version 1.1 of the guide. Placed in a few sidequests I missed around Raven's Rill. Also the story is now at the start of Stonebridge.
@issizots: question buddy, did you even play dragon age series. first of all they don't even fit in the same category to be compared, just because both called RPG, doesn't mean they are the same. This is supposed to be a classic hack and slash dungeon crawler.... Dragon age is an action rpg with pause base combat system. The story in these 2 is not even comparable. Dragon age`s story is engaging, entertaining and the characters are far more interesting. You actually grow to care about every single of them. That was an 80 hours game... this game... lets just say length wise puts COD series to shame. Dragon age is what a PC game should be... This is even shameful for a console game. Eve DA2 is a far better game than this.
@issizots Are you kidding? Dragon Age: Origins was much better, longer, and more story-driven than this. Dragon Age 2 on the other hand was about as good as DS3 just longer.
want dragon's dogma on 360 dagnabbit... too bad the massive environs can only fit on friggin BDROMs
personally i don't get it, this and dragon age 1 and even DA 2 look just alike, but this ATLEAST KEPT BIRDEYE VIEW IN CONSOLES AKA DS3!!! BUT how can it get such a low score when dragon age 1 and 2 weren't that great NEITHER and they bumped up to 8's and in some cases 9s in review scores from critics.... maybe they would find the game better IF they only played the whole game... some games suck at the beginning like i didn't like final fantasy VII much at the beginning til i got out of freaking Midgar to explore and get cool stuff and lvl up!!
Frankly, this game looks and plays like it should have come out about 5 years ago. The visuals are blocky and dated, and the controls are only passable on for the PC. It is, in many senses, the worst of the series. Sure, you can get used to the clunky scheme, but it definitely shows that corners were cut to meet a ship date rather than focus on quality.
You can get the PC demo from Steam. A number of people are complaining about the controls being too 'console' oriented, and while I would agree with that, I'm still enjoying the game and the keyboard/mouse controls aren't really a problem after you play for a while.
1 Like The first version of the Dungeon Siege 3 guide is up. I'll be updating the walkthrough in the next few days, so stay tuned, toons.
