Battle For Riverhold

[Maj. Grumpy]

I can't kill that dragon, can't even get him to half health. I've tried about 15 times now. I wish to skip this whole quest. Can I skip it and continue to play? Or do I have to kill it to continue? I'd like to move on to other quests but this is the only one I have right now.

Have you used the ballista? It takes the dragon down to under half hp....

[Lemilys]

I've had this problem. Used the ballista, he fell to the ground and immediately returned to full health - I don't think that is supposed to happen...

I am in the same situation with my level 16 dragon knight. Before i am even close enough to him to do any damage i am on threshold of death and when i try to run behind one of the houses.. to recover some or come up with anything remotely planlike the dragon wiggles with his fingers and pulls me through the house, through the ground, through everything back under his wing WTF?

Is this a feature to promote strageic playing with reseting every movement you could come up with.

I guess i´ll take this as a lesson that melee just suck to the sky in this game and continue questing with my caster. She can win fights with blinded eyes and her hands on her back in shackles, that my melee has to use every single skill and jump around like a maniac to survive.

But perhaps i should have teleported to vaardenfell right at the start and not play on a dlc map from lvl 5 on...
