I just cleared out the lower level dungeon where the Shadow Dragon is (except for the rooms with the doors that will not open with knock, next the the Sun God'd head). Anyway, I went into the room with the Dragon and it does not awake unless I talk to it - I have the Moonstone. I have tried attacking it a few times, but my guys are too low in level to kill it.

My question: If I leave, will I be able to come back and get at him later? Also, now that I have the sun disk assembled, what the heck do I do with it?

Yes, and nothing else.

Yes, you can come back to fight him later. He is the hardest dragon in the game that I've fought, despite the fact that the Black Dragon is officially stronger according to the character's most powerful vanquished history. I haven't tried backstabbing a certain "freindly" one yet though. You'll need really good protections and saving throws to beat Thraxissyllia. If you have one or more mages all you need do is cast Pierce Magic and Greater Malison and have your fighters deal a few hits before pointing your finger at him...if you survive long enough to get off 3 spells. Considering how hard he is I don't understand why the treasure isn't better. The stuff you get form Firkraag is slightly better and by the time I could beat Thraxissyllia I wasn't even using that!

Actually, the Shadow Dragon is considered by most to be the easiest Dragon to defeat. A party with an average level of 11-12 can take it on already.

Ya...I defeated him without spells with levels 10-12...

PS. Don't ask me how I did this...I don't remember, I just know I did it! (I wish I could remember the battle though...)

At lvl 11-12 there isn't much difference between the red and the shadow dragon (at least to me).



I defeated him without weapons (I had no weapons that could touch him)
with lvl 1-6 mage and druid spells (magic missile, insect plague, acid arrow, fire arrow, chromatic orb, call lightning and some summons
and my fighters as distraction.

Yeah. The Shadow one is EASY. I usually grab Edwin for the questso I can bombard him with Cloudkills and fireballs.

bee there done that... the shadow dragon is not that easy unless youre using the easy level in the difficulty bar. the shadow dragon is protected by 50% magic resistance meaning that level 1 to 3 magic are like tickling stick to him. use pierce magic and remove magic against him (i used nalia, , edwin, and aerie to lower his magic pierce). busy him with a fighter or a paladdin while you chant your spells (try finger of death or disentegrate).Aerie distegrated him the last time i killed him.

Magic Resistance? What Magic Resistance? That is what Lower Resistance is for, and level 10+ Mages can have it.

Just turn into a Slayer with healers behind ur back and u'll come out just fine, trust me!!! I killed all 3 evil dragons using this strategy.
