Get ready, for this is going to be a tough fight. The dragon is greeted with lightning strikes from the heavens throughout the arena, so movement is the key to success. Moving from side to side, get to Placidusax, coming close. At this moment, strike his paws and urgently retreat. next to the monster, a lot of dangers await you, from its flapping of its wings to the discharge of fiery electricity into the character's head.

The secret to victory is to constantly move to the right, keeping your preferred distance from the dragon. If you constantly run in circles in one direction, the dragon will not have time to tuck behind you. When he starts to lag, close the distance while still running to the right and quickly kick his legs or tail several times. Do not linger next to him for more than 3 seconds, because he will punish you for being greedy and slow.

Soon the dragon will take off and dissolve. This is a very good time to call on the ashes of the spirit for help!

The second phase of the battle will begin. Your target does not change - these are his legs, but by no means his head. I won’t reassure you, but it’s not safe at your feet either. The creature turns its head and pours fire on the character like a flamethrower. Getting away from the attack is almost impossible. To do this, you must have an impressive supply of flasks to restore XP. At any convenient moment, heal and keep the character in good shape.

At about 30% XP, the monster will fly away and return, swooping down on you from a height. Dodge or die!

Then the light show will start Rammstein. This fight is a visual spectacle, that's for sure! Dodge falling attacks, don't get hit by the flames spewing from his heads, watch out for his electrified wing attacks, and keep moving. This will lead you to victory!
