Defeating the 2 dragons! (Spoilers)
Posted: Thu Apr 14, 2005 12:52 am
Well... I made my way to the lair and the 2 dragons that await you... they took a little bit to notice me, but I saw them form further as they had auras around them and they were just too big to be anything else but dragons. So I jumped back to Tyr`s temple, paused the game, and checked the walktrhough to see if there was any surprise I should expect... meaning: Should I save my game right now?
So I read of how difficult it was to defeat this dragons, especially if you are using melee weapons, and my greatsword with fire damage was not precisely the best weapon against a dragon now, was it?... So I run to Eldora`s and bought some bull strength and got some barkskin from the druid next to the tree. Saved the game, changed my haste boots for the dragon slippers, and went in, expecting the dragons to be where I left them... but they were waiting for me (both of them) right on top of my portal... so I had no choice but to attack whoever was at hand`s reach the best I could.
To my surprise, and I`m playing the game in "normal", I defeated both dragons in about 30 seconds, with my henchman (Sharwin) still alive (she didn`t do anything but cast herself invisible and sing for me) and having used 2 healing potions only...
Quite dissapointing.
So... if anyone is having trouble with this 2 (maybe everyone plays in a harder difficulty level?)... I recommend: kill the red dragon in moonwood, giant`s lair, it will drop a really nice red dragon armor suite that will grant inmmunity to fear and knockdown, as fire resistance. Use the dragon slippers that go around so handy and guard yourself with the belt of strength (+5)... get some powerful melee you have worked on trough the game and don`t try the old-tactics of letting your henchman take the damage while you run around with ranged weapons. Go for the fight with some endurance/bull strentgh potions and you`ll be surprised how easy it is!
I was quite shocked that my fighter character was so strong at level 16, but I defetead "Astonishing-beauty" Morag and her nice companions in a fight without much challenge.
I`ll try a harder difficulty level now... sorry for boring you people but wondered if everyone found it as easy!
