Genlock Necromancer and the Risen Ogre

Now it's time for the concluding fight against the Genlock Necromancer, and the same Ogre that killed King Cailan. I go straight after the Risen Ogre of course, at least after I've dodged its boulder. Leliana coats her melee weapons with the Deathroot Extract that she had made previously. This is an important preparation, as you'll note there were times when her coated weapons both stunned the Ogre briefly and interrupted his attacks at the same time. She, Aldarion and Alistair go to work on the Ogre first and foremost with physical attacks. Wynne is of course using her healing spells, while the others use a Health Poultice if it's necessary before Wynne's cooldowns have elapsed. Once the Ogre falls, I manage to kill the Skeletons quite rapidly. I then make a beeline for the Necromancer and cut him down.

I loot the Necromancer's body for Cailan's Helm (+1 armor, +10 mental resistance). This completes the Cailan's Armor Set for Alistair, which he will wear for the rest of the game. The bonuses for wearing the complete set are +5 health regeneration in combat and -25% fatigue.

I then loot the following from the Risen Ogre:
