Defeating The Red Dragon - Page 2

I didn't realize that dragon's breath would heal Fire Elementals but I did notice that they were the only summoned creatures that lasted against Firkraag. I LOVED it that the tomato draco attacked them instead of me. Using a 12th level mage I found chroamtic orb great after a couple of lower resistance and a greater malison spell.

Oddly enough, it seems that fire elementals CAN hurt firkraag. When I fought firkraag, my fire elemental hit him twice at about 17 damage per hit. I don't know why. Maybe the elemental's attack is considered a physical attack of some sort instead of a "fire" attack.

Fire Elementals do deal physical damage and fire damage. Firkragg will heal from the fire damage, but the end result is that Firkragg will still get hurt.

What we are trying to say is, the Fire Elementals' attacks are not so effective against Firkragg.

One good way to defeat Firkraag is to have someone who's good at the katana attack him with the Celestial Fury. That weapon's every-hit-save or be thunderbolted is incredibly effective. One thunderbolt hit with little else and Firkraag was a toasted crisp on the dungeon floor.
In case you want to know where this weapon of incredible might is:

It may be found in the locked compound in the temple district after you defeat the owners. You also get some other very strong items in that house.

I was the "lower resistance" and "greater malison" combination type. Had Aerie memorize and cast them two or three times... then with the Dragonslayer sword and a couple of summoned creatures it turned out much easier a battle than what I thought...

Before this thread winds up can I thank you all for your responses to my plea for help. I look forward to returning to the Windspear Hills and putting some of your tips and sugestions in to practice. Just of the small matter of the Druid Grove to sort out first ( such a hard life!). Truely impressed by the
"Global" nature of the co-operation. Again many thanks.
