@@agentscott96 First, for most of the fight he's not mortal, his archdemon is still alive. Second is that making him mortal only makes him killable, it doesn't weaken his offensive magic
Perhaps he wasn’t as powerful as we thought. Did he ever actually fight his own fights? They always used Solas for that shit. Maybe his power was all a placebo and he was weak as hell himself 😂
I think it might be ghilan'nain .. considering how many show up in her battle. She is the creator of creatues after all, maybe she made her own group of beings like the Pre-Quanri?
@@zerogravityhead1 This seems almost guaranteed. As a lower elf who ascended to godhood, she might also have a Thing about infusing creatures with draconic traits.
Well, it's logical, Corypheus were basically servant of the elven gods, unknowingly so. Corrupted by the same corruption in the city Elgar'nan has been stuck for millennia, Golden City/Black city. Apparently it does something to the character. He even used the same immortality method, probably found the secret in the Black City.
@@HelenKorell So ı don't play the game(and not gonna intend to) does Black City stroyilne explained in Veilguard? Does it corrupted by Magisters or Elves far too long ago or city was already corrupted by the time they get there?
@@HelenKorelljust play the game. Like this statement makes 0 sense . The enavuris aren’t related to the chantry they don’t believe in the golden city . Coryphues wasn’t a servant of any elf god lmao . Did you even play inquisition? The truth is much deeper than this and if you just play veilguard you would understand how the blight was created and how wrong you are.
The difference is that Corypheus is just this the whole game, while Elgar'nan starts out as a calm, even seductive manipulator and only becomes this out of grief and desperation.
I personally found Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain far more appealing than Rook and Co - the latter are just... bland. They're "the good guys", they're "the nice ones", and that's it. There's not one bit of real conflict between them and if there's a hint of an argument, it is resolved immediately with a couple of phrases that sound like lines from a self-affirmation brochure. Not to mention the way they sound. Dunno, maybe it's just me, but it feels like Ghilan'nain's and Elgar'nan's actors put more effort into their work or were directed better, or both. They sound more passionate and emotional, zealously believing in their great plan, and that's what make them appealing as characters.
ngl that Sulevin Blade elgarnan is wielding looks badass , otherwise he's a massive letdown, just another angry elf on steroids like Eredin from Witcher 3.
@@jaykay1848 have you even played the game ? Sulevin blade ? Lmao omfg it’s a red lyrium dagger he created to combat solas pure lyrium dagger. Another angry elf?? lmao Been locked away in the fade for centuries does that to people btw. Moreover, if you even played any dragon age the “elf people” are literally the main characters of the game . Idk wtf some you guys expect!?? But instead of complaining and just play Veilguard or even watch the cut scenes on UA-cam the game storyline is actually good enough
Just finished this game last night. I thought the Ghilanain battle was way more challenging than Elganan. I’m not sure if it had to do with that exclusive rune I equipped prior to the fight, or if I just had a good combination of armor and weaponry. His hits didn’t do much damage. I was expecting a phase 2 after I won.
I feel like Elgar'nan should have been better done. He is powerful, yet doesn't intimidate. He is evil, yet he is not either entertaining or hate-inducing. He is a centuries old god, yet doesn't feel even remotely interesting. What is it about this character that makes him feel so aggressively bland, I wonder? How is, to put an example from another game's final boss, Radagon of the Golden Order from Elden Ring, much more interesting without even uttering a single word?
i think he was done well, but i found ghilannain to be more of a pain. he just needed more time. definitely not bland at all tho thats just your opinion
I found Elgar'nan to be rather charming and intimidating in the few scenes he was in. The Elgar'nan we see in this fight is at his wits end, we've foiled all his plans, he's fully consumed by blight, we killed his sister and only remaining ally from the old world. So... yes. He's angry.
I played the game. Wasn't the best, of course. But the lore itself is nothing to be mad about. Most of the stuff they brought up in VG are stuff that were heavily hinted on in Inquisition.

@@zetenyvarga7428 Mythal was the only one responsible for the killing the titans that unleashed the blight.

@@zetenyvarga7428 I agree with what you were saying that was built up and was decent. However, if you watch the secret post credit ending, that from where I'm standing, is a big crap on the lore that has been built up over the past 15 years, and is very disappointing.
@@princegallardo9129 To be fair, Dragon Age has a lot of good villains, and Corypheus was kind of a loser. He's a pretty good character, but the true villain of DAI was Solas. Corypheus was just the emblem of Solas's bad decisions backfiring on him.

The voice acting for Elgar'nan is superb
You know, when I fought Elgar'nan I was thinking "You'd think a god would hit harder"
He’s mortal when you fight him
@@agentscott96 First, for most of the fight he's not mortal, his archdemon is still alive. Second is that making him mortal only makes him killable, it doesn't weaken his offensive magic
I never got below 90% health and didn't even care too much about dodging... the easiest boss there was ..
Perhaps he wasn’t as powerful as we thought. Did he ever actually fight his own fights? They always used Solas for that shit. Maybe his power was all a placebo and he was weak as hell himself 😂
Would still romance Elgar’nan…
yes clearly smash
i'd sit in elgar'daddys lap on his throne. If he kept saying pretty words
absolutely would
I always wondered if it was Elgar’nan who was behind the creation of the Kossith aka the proto-Qunari, as an army of dragon-blooded reavers.
I think it might be ghilan'nain .. considering how many show up in her battle. She is the creator of creatues after all, maybe she made her own group of beings like the Pre-Quanri?
@@zerogravityhead1 This seems almost guaranteed. As a lower elf who ascended to godhood, she might also have a Thing about infusing creatures with draconic traits.
I like to think that maybe it was his children, and Ghilan’nain just did some bs with them. They have his skin tone and eyes dammit 😂
Lol, literally feels like an Angry Elven Corypheus

Is Elgar'nan voice actor the same person who voice Illidian Stormrage in Warcraft? Sounds so similiar.
No, he was voiced by someone else.
He reminds me of Eredin from Witcher 3
"I am god!"
"I am team!"
"I am defeated!"
I don't know if you have that possibility, but it would be delightful if you'd cut the menus/saving sections in your future videos ;)

@@princegallardo9129 I think they ment the purple spectral blade Elgar'nan summoned during his attacks that looked like a Sulevin blade.
Bruh. That is Shinnok.
The "Shinnok at home" version.

Why do he look like Shinnok from MKX MKXL Mortal Kombat X Mortal Kombat XL?
Now I can’t under it
You got a point :D
Best ending no Dlc
Wow, someone got the worst ending, LOL.
Thank you for making this. I do not want to give money to Bioware for this game but the lore still interests me.
And why do he look like Shinnok from MK11 Story Mode? WTF?
cuz theyre bankrupt on ideas and will soon be financially bankrupt as well XD.

He’s not a god, just a decent mage with knowledge how to blight here and there.

... there's supposed to be music playing during this fight???
you look like Sauron
