Description
After going up and down the holes in the previous area, you finally get to your destination of
the boss fight. All you will find in this area of is Dozekar the Dragon who is introduced via
a cutscene. Dozekar has the Shard of Fire, and once you have it you can return it to
Mithaniel
Marr as proof that you are worthy to get his Shard of Valor. Before you leave, make sure to
run around and collect the many little piles of gold all throughout the Lair of the Dragon.
Dozekar is primarily a melee attacker with very long reach. For melee attacks Dozekar can bite,
and he can hit you with his claws, wings and tail. All are very powerful with a chance to stun.
For special attacks, Dozekar breathes fire, casts fire storm, and uses a non-damaging wing buffet
to push you quickly away. And it's no surprise that he is immune to fire, and you should have
a high fire resistance by this time too.
It is possible to fight Dozekar using running away and using ranged attacks, or by blocking in
melee and timing attacks. Ranged attacks are generally more effective because Dozekar only has
fire storm at ranged. You can tell he is casting fire storm because he puts his head into the
air. You can avoid the rain of fire by looking for the circle of orange to appear on the floor
and then avoiding that area. When fighting in melee stay to his front half to avoid his tail.
Wait until he inhales to get a couple of hits in and then block again. If you are lucky his
breath will miss you and you can stop blocking for couple more hits. If not, blocking stops
most of the damage and a potion should keep you stable. If he casts fire storm you may be able
to get in a few hits if running up to him won't put you in the area of effect.
Whatever your character type, the best strategy is to follow the hint given you on the loading
screen. Find the portal using your mini map and try and keep the portal between you and the
dragon. Use the portal as a shield as you wait for Dozekar to breathe fire, and then rush in
to attack. If Dozekar breathes to the side, he actually hits a much larger area in front of
him than you would think. Try to get him to breathe straight for a smaller area of effect.
You can also use spells that aren't blocked by the portal to whittle his health away, and
you can use the time he spends confused by the obstacle to let potions do their thing.
