Easiest way to beat void dragon?

CC the dragon. It seems more vulnerable to stuns. Also take advantage of summons and charms because the AI prioritizes attacks on summons and charmed enemies.

Also because the dragon has a ton of health and has a massive hitbox, the skills Flurry, Barrage and Arrow Spray (at point blank) can take off a nice chunk of its health.

Fire + poison AoE
Check my screenshots if you don't beleive that AoE aren't overpowered.

Poison AoE + Meteor seems to kill just about everything by this stage of the game, even the dragon loses a huge chunk of health to it, most otherss die instantly.

I find it hilarious that I put the game on Easy to see if it would make a tangible difference. I didn't even amke a move before Astarte died.

Or just use a Lava Core scroll. It's basically the Firefly skill except it puts down lava instead of fire. And Lava one shots stuff. It's a very rare scroll and cannot be crafted into a skill book because the book for it doesn't exist anyway.

Here's what I did... Before going into the fight be sure to enhance all your weapons (I suggest the Sword of Planets for anyone that is going to be one on one with the dragon), make sure you have some healing potions handy. One of my guys is a cleric that is VERY tanky, so I put him on the dragon and left him. I left Madora central (right behind the fountain) and basically had her stand off against most of the summons. My other 2 characters Jahan and a ranger, stood near Arastate (sp?) within range of the dragon. Basically from there I used Jahan to haste, heal, rain, and shoot lightning, ranger to shoot shock arrows, my cleric to soak, and Madora to soak. Got tense for a few turns near the end, but ended up fine.

My wife and I beat the dragon yesterday, on hard, on the first try, but it took us forever - easily thirty turns. The party was a sword and board fighter, a fire and earth mage, plus Jahan and Madora.

We killed the dragon by getting the shield fighter close to the dragon, and keeping a fire shield on him at all times. The dragon was constantly attacking him, and using breath attacks. With his resistances, the fighter did not care.

As for the void dragon summons, Jahan was teleporting them right behind the fighter, and the dragon breath was making really short work of them. Sometimes they would survive long enough to attack the fighter, not that he cared.

So the mages would hit the dragon what everything they had, and Madora would kill off any summons that made it close. Once we got our act straight, there was no drama, just a long time whittling the dragon's health.

But as I said, this was our first try, and while we were ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about the dragon's endless hit points, we were talking about what we could have done better. So here is what we came up with:
1) The void dragon saved against most of our status effects, except for freezing. So it would have been helpful if he had the "Remove willpower" spell that the dragon's summons were using on us before we got our act together. I think it's a witchcraft spell.
2) Neither of our fighters had "Nullify resistances". We never needed it before that, but it would have been useful in that fight.
3) Our weapons were less than perfect for the task, as many of the summons healed from Tenebrium. Madora would have been more effective with a plain steel, elemental weapon. As it was, she needed more than two swings on the wanderers and whisperers.
4) Blindness on our mages was a huge problem in the beginning, so blindness immunity would have been nice.

This. I said hmmmm I wonder if this will do damage about 5 turns into my first time facing the void dragon, and it instakilled him. I had to reload the fight and finish it normally because I was so unsatisfied

Mate and I needed 4 tries, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy:
Madora goes tanking with Fireshield. At this point she had like 2,1k HP and very good Resis.
Always Charm the Wanderer, he is the strongest one, since he can Knockdown, Stun and Blind you.
I highly recommend using Nullify Resistance on the Void Dragon, when everyone in your party can use one of their stronger spells.
I dont know how many turns we needed, but as long as our mage could fireshield Madora or Astarte the Void Dragon couldnt do much.
Also a safe spott to stand is behind the Godbox, as the Void Dragon can't damage you there.

Don't necro this discussion please. I've no idea how some people even find such old threads to post in the first place.

I killed the boss in the first round with the help of voodoo dolls (only 34 and it's dead)

[Madn3ss]

I play 2 knight ( 1H + 2H Madora ) and 2 mage ( 1 geo/pyro + jahan air/water ). One thing I learned is that Void Dragon and his minions LOVE casting special effect instead of dealing physical damage. My whole team had lvl5 or 6 willpower and bodybuilding at the time so enemy team failed to apply any effects 95% off the time.

During the fight I just have my 1H warrior ( with 200 armor, 80% resists and 66% block rate ) face the dragon, Jahan buff HP/shoot ice shard, pyro mage case Oath of Destruction and Haste to 1H guy, occasionally Boulder at minion from a safe distance and Madora kills everything in sight. With Astarte blessing the whole team the battle turned out to be super easy, much easier than first stage since Death Knight/Prince actually dealt some serious damages. Wish it was more challenging.

But it might still be useful to some

Use a meteor strike and target it directly on the dragon. Mine took off about quarter of his health in one shot. Then I summoned pets around it (the 2 handed undead warrior) and he just kept attacking those and not doing anything else. The rest of my party dealt with the stuff he spawned. And then a second meteor strike finished it off. Also it is weak to poison. I kept using blind but it seemed like a waste of time because he shrugged it off early. So I suggest poison and fire, and especially meteor strikes. And just leave him focused on pets.

Because in some other forum, they got flamed for starting a new thread about something for which there was already a thread. You know it happens.

Yeah you get whined at for starting a new thread, whined at for finding old threads on google. Best to ignore whiny co<ksuckers on the internet.
