Single Archer? Simple enough... ...

Since this is Firkragg, boost your Fire Resistance to 127%( the maximum) using spells and/or potions. To prevent Chaos, either wear Aeger's Hide or have Aerie cast Chaotic Commands on your Archer. Other alternatives include the Potion of Clarity.

Gulp an Oil of Speed Potion( if you do not have the Boots of Speed) and run in circles, with the Dragon chasing after you. Every now and then, stop to fire a few shots at the Dragon.

NEVER LET THE DRAGON COME NEAR YOU.

Good ammunitions to use include Ice Arrows and Acid Arrows( especially since Firkragg usually has Stoneskins). Note that if Firkragg casts Protection from Magical Weapons, just run around for four rounds.

Eventually, Firkragg will fall.

if you wear aegar hide, Dundee's tactics still work without the intervention of a mage.

Dude, I gave 3 options to deal with the Chaos spell. Only one of them involved party intervation. This is more or less how my own solo Archer dealt with Firkragg.

I'm not sure, but if its small enough he may be kept out of melee range. You would still face the wrath of his breath attack. Unless, of course, you cast enough fire resistance to your team.

You know those 5 magical arrows you got in irenicus' dungeon? (you can buy them too i think) The Arrows of Biting? The ones that take 30% of target's life? Are you thinking what i'm thinking?
