Party: J, Vic, Aerie, Minsc, Mazzy, Me (Stalker)

First: I sourouded her from a distance, keeping out of wingbeat range. Cayle and Vic crept up. She cast magic resistance and I backstab. I do it this way because MR is being used offensively here and T SHOULD go red.

After Cayle gets tossed about by the wingbeat (Console-> Viconia:magic resistance), Mazzy and Minsc move in and begin to pepper her with arrows and get chased around a bit. They kept T busy and not interested in Aerie who began pounding her with spells and wands from a distance. J cast summon insects to no effect and Vic cast flamestrike.

Vic survives a breath weapon because of magic resistance and T starts to chase her. Vic runs outside of the pillars. Her hit points were not high enough to survive even if she made her save. Mazzy, Minsc and J take turns tossing missles and getting chased. Cayle wakes up and joined the "shoot bow... run away" game. Aerie kills dragon (OK, minus one flamestrike, one longsword backstab ~30hp and a few arrows)! My opinion of her increases...

If you do get hot with the breath weapon (assuming you make your save) run to wall to rest and use your healing. One reason this fight is easier than Firkag is that you have more room to manuever and minimize the dragons abilities. Use it well.

Do you have the instruction book? It has a description of all spells.

Negative plane protection makes u immune to level drain- which the shadow dragon is quite good at. Although when I killed him with my solo barbarian I just moved every time he was about to breathe on me and he missed. You can time this right by moving when he rears up. Boots of speed help. If he hits, bye bye 12 exp levels.

cheers vaskez

by the way all my characters have magical weapons so it comes up a lot saying he's immune to this.

how do i strip him of this'as i prefer these and don't have any normal weps at all.

cheers

p.s please don't say hit him with normal weps!!!

hi

still not done this as i left him for a while'but coming back but wanna ask some questions.

had and read vaious advice

cheezy cloudkill from a distance trick
backstab(don't know if this kills'or just causes big injury)
dragons don't like lightning'so lots of lightning magic
set snares around him before he starts becoming hostile
this fake attack thingymajiggy while still blue circle around him

how many times can this dragon cast protect from magic spells'as i keep removing his protection and he seems to keep recasting.

also i have know equipped my guys with normal weps as he seems to have a protection from magic weps spell'so can i just go hammer and tongs?

cheers

He isn't casting immunity to magic, but has a high magic resistance and so is very difficult to harm with any magic, ok
