Hello Kind Forum,
I have been playing Pillars of Eternity on Hard Level and have very much enjoyed the challenge.
Before I jump into the pit to take care of Thaos I want to beat the Adra Dragon.
I have read every post here and on other sites and I am still unable to defeat the dragon.
My party consists of: Eder, Aloth, Durrance, Grieving Mother, Cipher Watcher, and an Elf Fighter purchased adventurer.
I did get the Scale Breaker ability and use it but it does not seem to matter.
People mention getting lucky with the Dragon Breath...it uses it not only once but sometimes up to 4 times during my fight thus decimating my party.
My Fighters withstand the breath for a little while...they consume Major Endurance Potions but before they can fight to attack the dragon it breathes on them. There is never enough time for them to get attacks in to even slightly weaken the dragon.
I try Paralyze scrolls but they never seem to last long enough...same thing with Gaze of the Adragan that Aloth uses.
Cipher "spells" are supposedly powerful in this game and they have been up until this point.
I have two members of this class in my party that try to use Metal Binding...Soul Ignition...Detonate...Disintegration.
These always fail...the Adra Dragon "eats" these and My Party Dies.
I am VERY FRUSTRATED especially since I tried this fight Over 20 times on Hard and now Over 20 times on Easy.
THANK YOU.
