Thanks for the replies and your best wishes.
I'm afraid that after another 90 minutes I'm not much further forward.
I can,with difficulty,get my zeppelin to the point where the golden arrows turn sharp left,with 2/3 health.
However at that point it gets destroyed very quickly.
I've no idea how much further there is to go at that point.
Presumably,if my zeppelin is being destroyed so quickly,I've not taken out enough of the opposition.
At the turn there are two large islands,one right,one left. I've only managed to take out either one so far and cannot do the second because the patriarch attack takes so long to cool down. Perhaps this is the problem.
I can't believe I'm finding this so hard. Maybe it's easier with a game pad and I'm the first to admit I'm not very good with keyboard and mouse,but on easiest difficulty I'm still finding it impossible.
Therefore,I believe that there is some method to doing this that,despite all my attempts and all my searching of the boards and the help I've been given above,I'm still not understanding.
I'm an old fashioned RPG'er and I've found some of the more console-ish parts of this excellent game difficult but I've always managed after a few tries.
I would be very disappointed if I could not finish this "action RPG" because my console skills are not good enough.
I've played ED through twice and now DKS right through,I've never done this with any other game before (except Wizardry 8) which shows how much I've enjoyed it.
I do not want to feel that this time has not been well spent because the game ends with a console episode that I do not have the skills for.
If anyone thinks they might know what I haven't understood about how to complete the zeppelin mission,I would be very grateful for their help.
If it's simply a matter of my console skills not being good enough,I call it poor game design to have a vital mission in a RPG that can only be completed if you're fast enough on the keyboard.
