Sides, I'm assuming his party is low level and he doesn't have Greater Malison, and he says he doesn't have Lower Resist or Pierce Magic. So the Dragon is highly likely to just save against the Blind spell. Magic Missile will be a better choice, though Blind does only occupy 1 slot and who knows? The gamble might pay off. |

true.. its all dependant on everything each person has... i mean no two games are alike.. but if you have blind thats is the easiest step to kill a dragon that doesnt turn hostile untile you do something to it (i.e. talk or attack it)

I tried blind but it doesn't work. Will breach and then blind work? I do have Pierce magic and greater Malison, but Edwin isn't high enough to use them. Bummer This guy is hard, but I want to beat him so. I guess I'll have to keep trying?

even when the dragon isnt hostile.. it still has magic resistance.. try to use breach a few times.. or something to reduce their magic resistance.. then blind him and go in for the kill...

Okayyyy... ...
The following tip requires a good mouse. I call it the Chicken Run. Basically, all your party members are using ranged attacks, and only one member will engage the Dragon in melee combat. Nevertheless, cast some summons first, to absorb the Dragon's initial attack and Wing Buffet. When the Dragon engages your melee fighter who should have been at the back until now, get your melee fighter to start running in a circle. NOTE! Do not run toward the rest of the party. As the Dragon chases your melee fighter pause now and then( unless you have set Autopause for spell cast) so that your mages can cast spells at the Dragon constantly. If you have Breach, cast it when the Dragon casts Stoneskin, otherwise, nevermind and just wait for it to wear out. When the Dragon casts, Protection from Magical Weapons, get your members to switch to normal ranged members. Do not forget though! To keep your melee fighter running in circles. If your melee fighter gets hit, just grin, gulp some potions and continue running. Eventually your mages and archers will kill the Dragon. Good luck! |

Oh, but casting Greater Malison before the Dragon goes hostile is a good idea. |

What level is Wizard eye? Man I hate this guy. It's so frustrating. I've gotten him to near death but then he all of sudden starts kicking everyone's ass? It sucks.

I still can't beat the damn dragon. I'm so frustrrated at this point. I think I might use shadowkeeper to edit my game just to beat the dragon do you think I should?
