General Tips

  • Don't forget to have a mount, it will make the fight much easier, allowing you to quickly close the distance and dodge the flames.
  • Long weapons can also make the task easier.
  • If the situation allows, attack Aghil in the head : The creature will take more damage than hitting legs or wings. However, don't overdo it: the dragon can interrupt the series of blows with its horn or maw.

Melee

Fighting dragons causes Melee classes are especially difficult, as closing the distance in such a short period of time is impossible. In addition, trying to get close always means that the risk of getting burned increases exponentially.

The main strategy is to taunt the dragon into positional strikes. It is important to constantly be in front of the Winged Aghil, forcing him to hit with the limb next to which the Extinguished One stands. By hitting with its wing, the dragon will allow you to strike at its head. Repeat this algorithm several times to deal significant damage in a short period of time.

If the dragon loses too much health at once, this will open up the opportunity to deal critical damage.

When the dragon makes a series of strikes, for example, bites several times in a row, immediately get close and hit him. One or two hits and move away so as not to die.

As soon as it becomes noticeable that the dragon takes off, then just run. Don't try to block or dodge – run away: this attack is very difficult to survive, so it will most likely kill the Extinguished.

If the dragon just took off but didn't spew flames, be prepared to dodge. Wait for the last moment and dodge the attack. Hit the paws or wings while the creature is trying to recover.

Don't stay behind Eghil for too long, as he always attacks with his tailin such situation. If the dragon takes off again, but this time it is going to fly around the arena, then immediately summon the steed.

Ranged combat

Ranged combat strategy is almost the same as melee. The only exception is range: all flasks are most likely aimed at mana. This means that it is unacceptable to receive extra hits from the dragon. As a result, at any sign that signals a dragon to take off or dash, immediately run away.
