Tips
  • When fighting the White Dragon, maintain distance and watch for its projectile attacks. Attack after it finishes a volley of crystals, but don't overstay your welcome due to its spin attack.
  • Dodge the shockwaves of ice and ground stomps.
  • During the White Dragon's Emanation attack, focus on dodging the beams from the circling crystals rather than attacking.
  • Be prepared for the dragon's wing slams, dives, and ice breath, which create hazardous paths on the ground.
  • In the second phase, the dragon's attacks become more aggressive, and it can summon vertical beams from the ground.
  • During the Dragon Dance attack (late in the fight), dodge the combination of spheres and beams.
  • When fighting Elite War Wyrms, use abilities like Deathly Embrace or Phoenix Shift to close the distance quickly.
  • When facing multiple Dragoons, focus on ranged or support enemies like Astrologers first.
