GLINTSTONE DRAGON

[Stone]

How do I kill this SOB - It just wrecks me. I'm using a brass shield and the Cross-Naginata /w my jelly fish - I can't hardly scratch the damned thing.

[Dovah]

Yes

its a tanky dragon

For starters you probably should avoid trying to block his attacks, since you mentioned the shield.

Funny enough, staying close to their heads is the best way to kill the dragons, they will usually do a stomp attack thats easy to dodge and lowers their heads, which take the most dmg out of any part of their bodies, enough hits and you might even stagger them, allowing a riposte.

Would also recommend using torrent to avoid breath attacks, but not mandatory.

Any tips on taking this beast? Or should I just avoid it. I got the key that was behind the bleedin' thing. But I wanted to kill it. lol

Thanks Dollmaker

Is the Cross-Naginata a worth-while weapon or am I wasting my time with the spear.
I have a nice sword I got when wolf-boy and me took out one of his enemies.

Battles against dragons are wars of attrition, generally. Try using poison consumables, like pots that you can throw. Bows/crossbows loaded with poison or rot ammo can make a big difference as well. I would also heavily recommend using a different spirit, one that can keep the dragon's attention like Headless Lhutel.

The Cross-Naginata is a strong weapon if you build around it, as it inflicts bleed naturally. However, if you're not running an Arcane-based build, it won't do a lot. You'd need to state what stats you're focused on for us to say much more.

Forgot to add, but their large breath attack where they fly on the air and cover a wide area with it will ALWAYS aim for their left, so just run to your left to easily dodge it.

It is a decent weapon on its own, downright broken when dual wielded.

THis game - I freakin' love it, but damn if it isn't hard as hell sometimes. lol

[Stone]

You can only duel wield it in NG+, correct?

Once you learn their moveset, specially knowing how to stay close to their heads, the dragons become very easy to kill.

Not counting the Farum Azula variants that use lighting and such, those just suck.

You can dual with any weapon really, but yeah, its an item that can only be obtained once per run, unless you get a second one from someone or transfer it from another character with the help of someone.

It's a game you're meant to fail at in order to improve. Don't get down on yourself for dying, that's part of the process for this game. Go in expecting to die a lot as you figure things out, it doesn't make you a lesser player despite what the memes and elitists might tell you. You're just doing what the devs expected you to do.

[Stone]

Thanks for the pep talk guys - I needed it.

[Stone]

Damn this thing is still making a mockery of me. lol
