Okay, so in general I like the game. I played DivDiv over and over for a couple of years and loved it and the right things have come along with for me to like Divinity 2.

Except.


I beat Razakel and I beat Laiken and I gotr my dragon stone. Great. Bloody great. I have died *47* times this morning trying just to fight the stupid mandatory scene with the stupid little flying things and the nests. I can take the 3 nests out no problem but then I die, die, die.


I have health potions, I have 2 skill points (well, 1+ a bonus) in dragon healing, I have two pieces of dragon armor on... Given that I'm finding this harder than all of the expletive boss fights I've done so far, what am I missing? This can't *actually* be impossible, right?

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.

The ballistas shouldn't be much more difficult than the nests, as long as you don't hover in one place or fly straight at one. You can fly away behind the battle tower, or whatever, to heal or otherwise rest up. Save before making a run at the ballistas, and you should be able to whittle them down.

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

Why is dragon so hard?

Just a quick question - I never use dragon burst because every time I do it completely fries me and is therefore more of a self destruct button that either wastes me utterly or leaves me on death's door than anything else.. or so it seems. I figure that the skill is meant to clear the area when you get a bit too swamped for comfort and although I can appreciate why it might drain a few hp, it doesn't seem to mention such an enormous health sacrifice in the skill description. Is this meant to happen, or is it just a bug?

AFAIK there is no direct hit point penalty for using Dragon Burst. You may be a little more vulnerable while it is being cast, or something, though the few times I used this skill I didn't notice a huge difference in damage taken (obviously even a brief stop while you are being attacked is going to allow the possibility of greater damage). Try it when there are no opponents around (don't think it requires a target).

I had no idea about the quick speed burst! That actually did help. I couldn't get targets to lock (I even checked my key mapping; I was using the right [re-mapped-by-me-earlier] key). But eventually, after walking away for most of the day and figuring out that speed burst, I got it.

Cheers. smile I don't think I'll ever prefer dragon form (more's the pity; I've just seen the geography of Orobas Fjords...) but at least I got my tower!

Well venting and taking my time instead of rushing in seemed to help lol... got through it and went on to finish the game. What a awesome journey it was.
