Big Red Dragon we like to call Firkraag

[Tom]

How do you kill the dragon without wand of cloudkill or a priest using harm?

[Melusine]

Tom, I'd be glad to help you, but have you tried a search on this subject? There have been countless threads about this and the responses there are probably much better than the ones I could give
So please just use a search. One useful tip though; when Firkraags circle is still cyan in colour (i.e. when he's not yet in attacking mode), a very useful spell is the 5th level priest spell Magic Resistance. Because of Firkraag's very high resistance, this normally defensive spell will actually *lower* his resistance without making him turn "red". Alternatively, use the 5th level mage spell Lower Resistance (note that this WILL turn him red)
Good luck!!

Ya, you are a bit lazy, but it's ok. Try to use magic resistance removers. Than kill him like a normal enemy. Also, protection from fire is very usefull.

[Aurum]

Yes, kill you, if can!

I summon a bunch o critters and send them in first, then I have Jaheria do her magic resistance gig, (he ain't even mad yet) then I light off with one or two of the critters and sphere them (otto's sphere of don't even bother) Sometimes the old lizzard just beats on that sphere while Minsc and Company beat him to death.. the spells usually hammer it pretty good too.. By the way.. off topic but Minsc is just to much fun to dump for the dwarf..

Same here. Don't forget to put Haste and Resist Fear on the summoned critters and tanks

How about tickling it under the chin going "coochy coochy coo"? It might die of embarassment. Either that or sit on you and scrape

1. Learn Greater Malison and as much Feebleminds as possible. Go to Firkraag (Shadow Dragon, Adalon). Save the game.
2. A bug with dragon causes that the non-hostile dragon does not become hostile when you cast Greater Malison or Feeblemind on it. Therefore:
3. Cast Greater Malison on the dragon.
4. Repeat casting Feeblemind until you suceed. Most probably, you will need to restart and repeat.
5. Once the dragon is feebleminded, it will not attack even if it will be beaten by anybody around. Therefore, dragon feebleminded? Beat it, beat it, beat it!
Smells of Cheddar? Yes. But there is NO good fighting strategy against dragons. All so called strategies are results of pure luck. Either you are faster than the dragon (or you suceed with some spell) or some of your guys are dead.
