Dragon on Dark = idiotic
This boss fight was clearly not designd with the Dark difficutly setting in mind. Unavoidable attacks (it's redicilous that these are even a thing) that take about 90% of your helth in one hit (with full Kinslayer set, potions, etc...) and the completly stupid mechanics that so many devs are obsessed with: Staggering and regdolling. As boarderline-gamebreaking as these are in general imo, they are ok I guess as long as such attacks are avoidable.

This fight has nothing to do with challanging or difficult. It's plain and simple unfair.

Your lacrimosity is ridiculous. Not the devs or the fight are idiotic, it's you. Your decision to play the game in dark mode was hubris. Git gud, Stinker.

Right, that's why the rest of the game was a cakewalk. I knew those childish comment where comming. I may have taken you serious, if not for your unnessecary insults and that "git gud" at the end. Realy just makes me laugh and sad at the same time.

That is almost exploiting, with this kind of sheer damage output. The rest of the fight, is borderline impossible due to unavoidable attacks. Besides beating a boss like that is realy just cheap.

But hey, if cheap tactics are required to win a battle, well that's just bad game design imo. Also dosen't make unavoidable instantkills less stupid.

Made up your mind already, is it a cheap, easy boss or "boarderline-gamebreaking" one.
And how's it cheap to beat a boss like that if a game let's you do that fair and square?

Just learn the patterns man it is not really that hard. With a solid understanding of the game you can almost 1 shot the dragon with 1000+ damage attacks.

taunt him, roll back, attack him, repeat. keep Quen up as always.
I just go full damage (Thunderbolt, Rook, Wheatstone, Poisoned Talents) and just drops her health to 1 in Sille's room. Then i just use a bomb, or a igni in the top of the tower to finish it.

Only real difficult fight in the game is the secret boss in Act 3 because of the small room.
