Preparing for the Fight
Assuming that you’ve leveled mostly as a Sorcerer, then you should be able to take on the offline Ur-Dragon once you get to level 50. The Holy exploit is an effective tactic to use against it, making the fight less of a challenge and more of an exercise in patience.
Bring the following:
- 8 Demon’s Periapts – For buffing Magick. Purchased from Fournival.
- 1 Veteran’s Periapt – To boost your XP gains. Ditto, but only if your affinity with Fournival’s high enough.
- 1-2 Wakestones – In case you die.
The Fight Itself
You know where he lands, right?. Stand as close as you can in front of him, use 4 Demon’s Periapts to get max Magick boost and then attack. The Holy bolts are capable of piercing through the initial hit, so when you attack from the front you’re maximizing the number of hits that you can get. This will cause the dragon to stagger, so don’t worry too much about him attacking you. You can use this tactic repeatedly until he’s past half his health. If your buff runs out before that then use your remaining periapts.
