Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Dragon Rider in Warrior Guild Quest

I've been trying for an hour to kill the Dragon Rider in the quest for the warrior guild. It doesn't matter what I do, I'm killed within ten seconds. I'm a warrior, level 32,Strength 78, Agility 50. I've tried the death blade, 11-178
hit points and the bow 11-104 with arrows of elemental (which are awesome)

How do I kill this thing? I really need help with this one.
Thanks in advance.

There are many options to kill a dragonrider, but most require some effort first.

1) get yourself a skillpoint in "deadly gift" an unleash killer scorpions on the dragon rider. 5 or 6 should be enough to kill him within a minute.

2) Try to find a weapon with frost damage, these blades are extremely powerful.

3) Attack the dragonrider with the spell elementary hail! (my favorite spell)

4) Curse the dragonrider first a few times and then use polymorph.

5) Use a shadow potion and then your swirl attack. Do not direct your attack directely on the rider but slightly beneath and you won´t become visible.

What are your resistances and hit points? You should not be getting killed that quickly. Your agility could be higher (effects your chance to hit and be hit, see differences between classes (minor spoilers)).

The Stun skill really helps with melee attacks once you get close enough to start whacking.

Thanks a lot, I'll try that.

Unfortunately, my fire resistance is 0 and that's what this dragon rider is using on me. Other resistances are low (15-17.) Didn't know that they had to be higher. I concentrated on strength and agility. Strength is 78 agility 51 intel is 19. Looked everywhere for a "frost damage" weapon and can't find any merchant with them. FINALLY, got a skill point and used it for deadly gift. Can't equip that skill so how do I use it? I know when I clicked on it it said something about scorpions but how do I use this skill? Thanks again.

Your resistances are far too low. At this stage of the game you should have at least 40 points each...

Concerning deadly gift: You need scorpion traps, which you can find on random locations (also enemy drop) or you buy them (for example from Tingalf).

When you have the traps, equip the skill and then click on the scorpion traps.

rightclick and see the enemies fall.

Warning: The scorpions are extremely overpowered and the best weapon in the game. If you use them often the game might become too easy for you.

Thank you for helping an idiot out. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

As a warrior I only put 1 point into intelligence, relying on intelligence and mana bonuses on equipment for what little magic I used.

Scorpions can be bought from Tingalf in Ars Magicana or (in games started after installing the 1.34 patch) Finnigan in the Ducal Inn in Verdistis. Sometimes Blake in Ars Magicana and Mpenzak in Verdistis have them as well; otherwise they can be found in random drops or some NPC inventories. One scorpion should be enough to take out the dragon rider.

Thanks Raze for all of your helpful info. I just wish I had know before I became a level 33 warrior. I did buy a scorpion box and used it and it worked great. Then I went to Dwarven Hills and bought a great sword from the armorer there and it's awsome. Thanks again.!!!!!
