I am having big problems with this fight. I've tried and failed three times to beat the dragon and with no success. Each of those attempts has lasted in the neighborhood of 90 mins and I am exhausted and discouraged. I am sure it's my fault as I have not leveled properly. Thing is my chars are all lvl 21 and the dragon is lvl 20.
Biggest problems:
1.Unlike the fight with the Trife Astarte is useless in this fight. I am puzzled by why she stands still the whole fight with the dragon which is unlike the previous fight. If she is transfixed by the dragon then the developers of this game have failed to give her dialogue that would indicate this. She also will not aid my fighters as she did in the fight with the Trife. This is a bad design decision and I am not pleased with it.
2. This might be a bug but my melee fighters, when they are close to the dragon, do little more than kick at it with their feet and refuse to use their weapons (which are elite and or Tenebrium). I've checked the condition of the weapons and they are not broken nor are my melee fighters under any weakness spell or any other spell.
Coupled with the fact that my chars get two attacks while a lower lvl dragon gets 4 each turn and this is absurd.
Also I never seem to have the ap to allow Jahan to use a meteor strike. And if he gets close to being able to use it he usually has to heal Astarte or something.
I am going to try again on the weekend but I've reloaded an earlier save so I can make sure everyone has ice shards and rain or whatever it will take to stun these creeps. I have been playing this for a month and I do not want to have to start all over again. I am a relatively inexperienced gamer despite being 46. I never played many rpg's and this is one of the first so I may have plotted this whole thing wrong due to inexperience. I was enjoying the game until this point and now I am pretty disgusted. I even dropped the difficulty down to easy for this fight and it's still a grind.
