Dragons meteor attack?

[Simbolic]

First tried Youtube videos not helping only finding methods of one shot and easy kills.
Idc about that all I want to know is how to defend there spamming meteor attacks.
Just decided finally attempt to try to kill one. Was doing fine until the Dragon got down to about two health bars. Then just stood up on his feet and kept spamming some homing meteor attacks. That kills all my pawns and myself. had to constantly revive pawns and use wakestones. Until like the seventh time in row of the dragon casting. I Just said ♥♥♥♥ this! gotta be missing something cuz this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. spamming that and only takes him like 8 or 10 seconds to cast it. The only thing could think of his a nailing a weak spot to stop him from channeling. I already shattered his heart weak spot so unclear where to hit him if required.

if you are playing the mystic spearhand: spam the shield ability
if not, tell your pawns to follow you and just sprint around during the meteor attack. it really is just about dodging.

also: you can make the weak spot reappear by attacking the head. heart gets more and more exposed the more you hit the head

Dodging it is your best bet. Pawns aren't as good at it.

If you feel like you can't stagger it out of the spell you likely have low knockdown power. Ring of Vehemence is extremely strong.

Another method is using Mage's silence (Solemnity).

Problem is not enough time by the time i hit follow and start running. Still takes pawns moment to stop what there doing to follow. Just seconds away from the dragon casting.
I tried running and I couldn't even escape it.
I actually haven't unlocked the vocation either been playing slow as death. Since loved the first so really just trying to milk this and enjoy it as much as I can. Right now lvl 40 Been playing either Rogue or Warrior. Was playing warrior on that battle originally.

The spell is extremely paragraphed. Stop what you are doing, spam "to me" then once the meteors start raining spam the "go" command. Pawns will start avoiding WAY more consistently like this, just make sure you lead them through easily traversable terrain and not into further meteors (thats what the "go" follow up is there for)

I believe been using that ring through entire playthrough. Seems best way to utilize that is to use one of the warriors charged attacks. Which I really don't like to play same for casters.

Oh yeah probably helps to mention I play this while it's constantly lagging and freezing up. Like really bad been playing with the terrible performance for a long time. Cuz I just really want to play the game. Come to think if it that might be what is really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ me up. Been playing that way for so long now never crossed my mind.

pawns are bad at dodging it its easy for players, a mage pawn using high paladium skill will use it so save the other pawns since it avoids all dmg they would have taken, another way to deal with it is to just attack the heart weakspot when hes casting the spell, it takes a long time to get the cast off and u can stun the boss while hes charging it up, if u have a high kncokdown pawn set-up or you urself have high knockdown (using dwarf smith on warrior weapons makes ur knockdown very high) then its worth stunning him over running. Early game ur prob bttr off running unless u have a blunt 2h weapon on your character.

Yeah homing meteor attack is pretty op. Can one or two shot you but once you learn to spot the cast animation it is easy to avoid. You just have to run around.

[Ponyeater]

You could also try the classic true-and-tried methodology of fire resistance maxxing and see if you can take it to the face. Not the best solution, but if everything else fails why not?

Also just running, dodging the incoming projectiles is what you should do. The problem is the pawns still eating the meteors often enough.

[Infevo]

I just sprint across a wide area and never get hit by any of them.

[Simbolic]

Seems like best bet is to stagger him before casting. Are attacks that produce explosions effective at all? wasn't sure since kind of a fire elemental.

[saice]

the Silence effect is pretty good. You can cast it or there is some items that have it as a damage effect

[Insanitor]

People get hit by these?! They make a massive marker on the ground and then takes 3-5 business days before they actualy land.

Just like... Walk away. That's it.
That's the trick.
