Hey -- glad someone liked it.

I actually have had a lot of fun killing Drakes. Every once and a while I take a trip back there, just for kicks and giggles. If you stand around long enough one will respawn. *be warned though* these "respawns" will NOT be as polite as the originals. They do *not* hold still...they will come after you with a fiery vengeance.

I found either one of these two techniques to work well:

a) Get to the nearby shrine and run around it so that the Drake is on one side, and you on the other. Use the pillars as shields. If the drake starts to move, move the opposite direction so you are always across from each other. Meanwhile, conitnually pelt the beast wit ha distance weapon!

OR

b) I started doing this after finding a "Dagger of Winter" in a Northlands chest. THe trick to this is getting to the same physical level as the Drake...so either you'll need to wait until it sits down (not recommended!), or run up to a small hill. Whack it with the freeze weapon continually. If your agility is fairly hihg (mine is 67) you'll be able to keep it frozen and nearly never get hit. (This is almost so easy I felt guilty!)

Have fun!
