The extraordinary opponents you meet in Dragon Age II will often have their own names or titles, but many of them are instances of a standard core creature in terms of attributes and behavior. So whenever you encounter an enemy whose name is unfamiliar, use the following directory to identify the core creature type on which they are based (note that we haven’t included main bosses in this directory to avoid spoilers). You can then consult the corresponding entry in this chapter to find out all about their respective strengths and weaknesses.
Take Brekker, for instance. From his name alone, you cannot know what type of enemy he is. Look up his on-screen title in this directory, though, and you will see he is based on the Coterie Member. A complete analysis of that opponent is available in the Coterie group section of this Bestiary.
