Easy way to kill any dragon at average party level 11+
Use alternating Druid/Mage Spells:
Magic Resistance- Lower Resistance (or pierce magic, but lower resistance is better)-Doom (try a few for added effect, Mage Spell greater mallison also works well)- Feeblemind.

Magic Resistance sets the dragons magic resistance to 2%/caster level.. note it says SET not RAISE, in other words: if the MR of the creature is higher than what is conferred, it lowers it to the set amount.
Lower Resistance does exactly that- lowers it`s resistance by 10%+1&/caster level. Pierce Magic lowers it by 1%/caster level; thus Lower Resistance although it is a lower level spell is better, as it lowers the resistance by an extra 10%.
Doom/Greater Mallison- lowers saves... very important for the feeblemind.
Feeblemind- don`t cast until you`ve lowered the saves by a bit, as it has a save vs spell... once the save is failed, the Dragon has the intelligance of a rock. A *sleeping* rock

It forgets how to attack, and how to use it`s special dragon abilities, so feel free to whack/poke/stab/shoot it to death

tsss..... why try the hard way when it's actually really easy, try feeblemind.

I've tried turning Firkrag into a squirrel using polymorph other. That was fun. But nowhere near so much as discovering he could still breathe fire afterwards.

He also seemed pretty much invulnerable, but I was only using low level weapons (i.e. +1 or +2).

This was before I patched the game, so I don't know if this still happens.

Killing "evil" dragons by becoming the slayer.. Who's more evil, the dragon or the one who becomes the Slayer?
I don't like people whose advice on a difficult battle is to become the Slayer. It's no fun to beat it the easy, evil way.. unless you're playing a NE or CE char. Even then, the victory is cheap and hollow... In my OH-so-humble opinion, of course!

how does one get to become the slayer?

Illumina Drathiran'ar · 08-03-2002, 06:14 PM

Play the game.. Believe me, you won't overlook it when it comes.

Oh do mean the slayer is more powerful when your alignment is evil?

Jon Irenicus · 08-03-2002, 08:14 PM

I don't think so... but I do know that the Slayer is "extremely" powerful when hasted!!!
