What does cheesing mean? I tanked it with one fighter and rest of my party surrounded it from all sides and hacked away, because my characters were surrounding it, only one got hit at a time. Tank needed 5 major endurance potions to keep alive. Only 2 other characters were hit and both stayed alive barely. How? I put every max endurance piece of gear I had on my Paladin tank, then buffed him with the +50 endur potion and he STILL was one shot by the crush or the breath. Mine took about 60-70% damage and i immediately healed with potion + durance. My Eder has 250 endurance, the breath did something like 180-200 damage i think. Defences around 100 each, deflection highest with 115. 15DR with corrode. Base DR 12. The buffs might have helped too, i buffed him with Durances spells every now and then. How did you heal when your tank spends the fight on their ass between its attacks? Tank got on its ass few times but then i used Durance, and 99% of the time tank was drinking potions or trying to. Edar also had some boots that helped with knockdown defence.

Hi I've read the forums and people are complaining about adra dragon or saying it is impossible to beat without minmaxing, cheesing or bugs. I don't agree, at least on difficulty levels other than path of the damned. I beat it on normal with my normal party, only thing i did to prepare is give major endurance potions to my tank (edar) so he stayed alive. On hard should be more adds, but generally that shouldn't matter, as when you are ready to engage Adra Dragon, adds are easy to dispatch. Party: Edar - tank Pellagia - DPS semi tank Sagani - Ranged - bow Durance - Ranged - Healer support Me - Ranged - Mage Hiravius - Ranged - Druid Strategy: - Edar charges dragon and tries to keep dragon aggro to him - Other characters summon spiders/delemgan/wurm and attack adds with those - Wait first breath, then all other characters attack adds too - concentrate firepower in this phase - Adds dead - Surround dragon from all sides, keep distance between characters. Priest stayed near Edar to support heal/buff - Hack dragon to pieces / attack with raw damage spells if available (i basicly had ****ty grimoire for this and only hiravius had some raw damage spells) Result: - Dragon attacked 90% Edar, Edar needed 5 endurance potions to keep alive + durances heals/buffs - 2 other characters were attacked with breath, hiravius and durance, both survived barely - Dragon dead - felt easy, there weren't any panicked moments or such. - As long as you keep your characters away from each other, this should be reasonable fight.

On my playthrough, accuracy wasn't problem, you will get lots of it later on.

I played with normal, so dragon stats should be same. The base tactic was same as told here earlier, one melee char to take the attention of the dragon, i needed 5 endurance potions. Clear out any helpers with your other chars, then place your character in circle around the dragon so only one gets the breath if it does it and then just kill it. Took few minutes. I expected much worse from forum talk. It really doesn't matter do you have melee chars or not as the dragon only attacks one at the time + fear + possession. On my kill, it hacked my melee tank almost exclusively, only twice got any other character damage and those were because bad location so they got taste of the dragon's breath. If you just position your party around the dragon so that your characters aren't too close to each other, it is easy. I didn't have second wind and didn't need it. Forgot the party composition: - Edar, using sword&shield - taking aggro of the dragon and drinking potions. - Pellagiani - Two handed sword/pistol - Sagani - Bow - didnt use dog, kept him away - Durance - Pistol - Healing/buffing Edar - Me - Mage - bow/wand - not very useful in this encounter, didn't have raw damage spells - Druid companion don't remember the name - bow - casting raw damage druid spells on the dragon.

Yeah, i have defiance bay inaccessible as well, then got new bounties, one of the bounties is in the catacombs, which are now unaccessible. That means i'm unable to get new bounties before doing the catacomb one :|
