Larian Studios Forums Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis (English) Help/Tips/Tricks What am I doing wrong?

I just got dragon form and OH MY GOD it is hard. what the hell? i'm a freakin' DRAGON why do I die so easily? 2-3 hits and i'm dead.

I just don't know what to do, the only way I can destroy towers is getting right up close to them and breathing on them for ages which leaves me open to attack for ages and usually end up dying, then there's those dragon hunter wyverns flying everywhere which have homing missiles for attacks so I can't even avoid them, dragon shield and dragon spirit do nothing to help at all, i'm just seriously stuck, I even turned the game down from "Normal" to "Easy" mode and nothing changed! i'm seriously considering using a trainer otherwise I don't see how I can even complete the game, it was going great up until now!

you give up so easly
I finish game on hard without weapon and you give up juts becoase you can"t fly as dragon ?

well boy

first of all
learn to avoid
and lean

that will save you
there is no point in standing and breathing fire

also circle around enemies
circle araound everything especially towers
get fireball spell caose its juts too awesome

Keep moving; hit target lock for towers/nests and circle around while holding the Fire Breath trigger/key down. Once you take out most of the opponents you will automatically return to the battle tower.

You should have one skill point that you can put into Dragon Spirit, and can fly away behind the battle tower and use it to heal or otherwise rest up. You can get a second dragon skill point if you explore the fjords before getting the tower.

On the Xbox, a burst of speed is triggered by the left shoulder button. On the PC this is done by right clicking.


first time dragon help needed please

Why is dragon so hard?


What level are you? If you have a save before entering the summoning chamber, you can always reload and head to the fjords to level (presumably you've already finished everything in Broken Valley and sentinel island, except for one quest in each that will have to wait until you get the battle tower).
At level 20 the first dragon battle is pretty easy if you keep moving, heal a couple times and pay attention to your surroundings. At level 23 you don't really need to keep moving (though sitting in place too long would be bad) or pay too much attention to your surroundings, and you probably wouldn't need to heal.


Welcome to the forum.

ok uhm, I pretty much killed everything I could in this valley except the things behind the anti dragon barriers and nothing happened, there's nothing left to kill I didn't get auto transferred back to the tower or anything. what the heck do I do now? I can't go anywhere @_@

Where are you, exactly? I don't recall there being any anti-dragon shields at sentinel island (though you are blocked from flying / swimming to the fjords, etc).

Did you fly around the various levels of platforms and make sure there are no ballistas left? Presumably if there were any nests left you would start seeing opponents on your mini-map, at least.

Try transforming into human form above one of the platforms, over a couple trees with nests containing treasure chests or the tree with a ship in it (where you will find a quest item, that you might want to use yourself instead). Maybe transforming back into a dragon will trigger something.

Did you try using the teleporter shrine outside the battle tower? The one that was beside the locked door when you were trying to get into the tower is above the poison gas.

I didn't realise that I could simply transform back into a human anywhere, I went behind a waterfall and explored inside, but I couldn't get anywhere because there was a door blocked by 3 statues which I guess I gotta finish the quests for.

and then I went into some cave and now i've gotta fight some Barnabus guy. anyway it seems i've figured it out thanks!

Barnabus is tough cook
I was level 21 when I killed him but if you are warrior type then he have one of best weaponsi n game

There are 3 teleporters in the cave with Barnabus, which you should explore before taking out Barnabus (you only need to do the 2 with the generators, but a couple people had problems getting the last door open in the highest area if they killed Barnabus first).

Back in the fjords, there is a bunker high in the mountains behind those anti-dragon shields and defenses. That is where you need to get to lower the barrier and disable the shields (there are a couple traders in there, as well, after they surrender).
You can either use a teleporter to get up there (the Camp Sentinel View teleporter, on the west side of the island in the middle of the channel, will bring you to Camp Eagle's Nest, where you can access the bunker) or it is also possible to fly above the anti-dragon shield and drop down in human form, if you find the right spot.
