Final Boss[DCBFI]

Master the Dragon's Crown final boss fight with this comprehensive guide. Learn strategies for its fireballs, breath attacks, storms, summons, and flight phases.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• The boss has multiple attack patterns including fireballs, sweeping fire breath, screen-wide storms, explosions, thunder, bites, slams, and skeleton summons.
• It has a flight phase where it is untargetable but can be damaged indirectly.
• It can heal if its health is below a certain amount and it returns from flight phase, requiring sufficient DPS to prevent.

Phases:

1. Ground Phase: The boss utilizes a variety of direct attacks and summons.
2. Flight Phase: The boss flies away, becoming untargetable. It fires projectiles at walls, which can be reflected for minor damage. Skeletons may still spawn.

Strategy:

• Fireball: Evade or use invulnerability moves when it targets your direction.
• Breath Fire: Evade through it or use invulnerability moves during the screen-wide sweep.
• Storm: Destroy the green swirls quickly to prevent screen-wide storms, or use invulnerability moves.
• Explosion: Destroy the falling flames, especially the middle one, to create a safe zone for DPS.
• Thunder: Stay away from the indicated thunder cloud locations.
• Bite: Evade or use invulnerability moves as it's telegraphed.
• Slam: Jump, evade, or use invulnerability moves when the dragon moves upwards to slam.
• Summon Skeletons:
  • Option 1 (Kill All): Risky due to DPS loss on the boss. Wizards can use 'extinct' to manage.
  • Option 2 (Ignore): Only viable for classes that can maintain high DPS while ignoring summons (e.g., Amazon with Brandish, Dwarf with Grand Smash).
  • Option 3 (Kill Crossbow Skeleton): Prioritize killing the skeleton with the crossbow to prevent knockdowns, take its crossbow, and use it to clear other skeletons. This is generally the most effective method.
• Flight Phase:
  • Avoid the initial screen-wide fire by hiding behind walls or using invulnerability.
  • Reflect green missiles fired at the walls back at the boss for minor damage.
  • Focus on clearing any remaining skeletons during this phase.
  • Avoid the final screen-wide swipe by hiding behind walls or using invulnerability.
• Heal: Ensure your DPS is high enough to prevent the boss from healing when it returns from flight phase with low health.
