Branka rose to the status of Paragon a little over a year after her marriage when she invented a smokeless coal that let the Smith caste increase their output by a third while at the same time decreased deaths from black-lung.
This coal could burn in a cave without ventilation and thus was safer and easier for smiths to breathe and work with. As a living Paragon, Branka was the most powerful woman in Orzammar and Oghren became a side note in her life.
The husband turned to drinking in order to quell his growing resentment. Around the same time Branka started a relationship with Hespith , a distant cousin of Oghren, which became an open secret.
The Paragon started spending days away from home on her various projects or with Hespith and as a result Oghren started drinking constantly. Eventually the couple stopped talking to each other and Oghren found himself shunned by most of his own family because of Branka's open disdain for him.
Eventually, the Anvil of the Void became Branka's obsession as she sought to reclaim it and unlock once again the secrets of golem construction. Records imply that Hespith supported or even encouraged Branka's quest.
The two would spend hours examining ancient scrolls, trying to pinpoint the artifact's location. Oghren voiced objections but he was ignored. She has not been heard from since, and is presumed dead by most of the citizens of Orzammar. Only Oghren maintains hope that she still lives.
During the Dwarf Commoner Origin a Warden may hear of Branka when listening to some merchants chatting in the Commons. Dwarves of the Dwarf Noble Origin will briefly hear her name being mentioned about the quality of her work inside the Diamond Quarter. Since she is a Paragon, her voice could be used to overrule the bickering Assembly and decide who will be crowned king; for this reason, both Prince Bhelen Aeducan and Lord Pyral Harrowmont want to retrieve her to end the stalemate through her determination of who will be king.
Hespith's poem and conversation reveals disturbing insights into the ordeal the dwarves of Branka's house suffered at darkspawn hands during their time in the Deep Roads, as well as offering clues to Branka's behaviour since beginning her quest for the Anvil. Her obsession with the Anvil of the Void has consumed her utterly; there is nothing in her life but its acquisition and she condemned the members of her house to death and worse in her ambition to locate the Anvil.
The Warden finally meets Branka in the Anvil of the Void. I've beaten this fight twice in the past, but I'm having some serious trouble trying to deal with her this time around. I have Shale with me for a combat boost.
The dwarf that comes along for the Deep roads Myself as an archer And Wynn for a healer. Any suggestions? Showing 1 - 8 of 8 comments. Craftian View Profile View Posts. Use Stonefist, which you've hopefully unlocked along with Group Heal, for Wynne to support the group and try and keep you all alive. Cleansing Aura is a huge help, though that depends how far you've progressed with Wynne's character arc.
You can use the various rock abilities to stun the group with Shale, but be careful with friendly fire on the higher difficulty levels. When finally dealing with Branka, focus on using stuns and knockdowns to prevent her from entering stealth. Send one to each copy when she duplicates herself to balance out the damage, even if Shale could tank it. Keep that up, use a tonne of poultices and you should pull through.

This is how i did it with normal difficulty: 1. Have Morrigan use cone of cold on the golems and Branka as they charge. At first, King Bhelen works eagerly with Branka to provide subjects--willing or not--so that the golems can push the darkspawn back. This arrangement is not to last, however.
Before long, Branka begins to refuse to create golems only for the king, who soon bans use of the Anvil. His men attack Branka's fortress in the Deep Roads, forcing her to shut it tight. Years into the siege, Bhelen is forced to relent. The fortress, guarded by Branka's golems, remains impenetrable. Harrowmont will discourage trade with the surface, leading to further isolation.
In addition, after Harrowmont refuses Branka more volunteers for the Anvil, she will begin raiding the surface world for the needed ingredients. Eventually the surface world will retaliate, resulting in a short war with Ferelden. Orzammar's gates are besieged, and are sealed off, isolating Orzammar more than ever. So while it may be in your best interests to preserve the anvil, it doesn't seem to be in the interest of Orzammar or the storyline in general as the dwarves pretty much always try and lock the research away for only themselves.
I personally think Branka is absolutely off her rocker and usually side with Caridan as Golems, while useful, are hardly necessary in the final battle, but it is entirely up to you.
