Final Battle | Act VI Dragon's Dogma Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
In short: The final battle with a Dragon that will change everything!
Difficulty level: Very hard. Repeat: a battle with a DRAGON!
Before you rush out to fight the Dragon, get councel from Dragonforged. It's not mandatory, but in return you'll receive a scroll with techniques against dragons, which will allow the Pawns to learn a few tricks.
Before the journey to the Greatwall Encampment, you need to prepare really well. You're probably have to fight a Dragon there, and not only. Upgrade your weapons, buy lots of health and stamina curatives - in short, prepare for the worst. Ice and Dark magick will be useful against the Dragon.
Depart when you're ready. Once you get there, enter the keep and go straight ahead.
In the land controlled by the Dragon you'll encounter upgraded version of the well-known enemies. First, there are Geo Saurians - a very tough bunch. Make sure to cut their tails before they can do anything else.
Then, there are Succubi - stronger Harpies. Their voice can put you to sleep much quicker. Use Ice spells to kill them as fast as you can.
The Succubi will be back later, this time with the support of Hellhounds. Those are really challenging version of Wolves. It's not enough that they jump at your throat, they can also shoot fireballs. Gentlemen, Ice attacks work best.
Finally, you need to defeat a Gorechimera, and upgraded version of the lion-goat-and-snake mixture. The beast is more powerful and parts of it can resurrect after death, but the strategy is the same as with the regular Chimera.
In order to open the way to the Dragon, activate three buttons on the ground (step on them).
In the battle with the Dragon, the hero's beloved will appear. The Dragon will give you a simple choice: if you sacrifice the life of your beloved and leave, it will leave the land and the hero will become the new ruler of Gran Soren (so it's not the final ending!). If you want to save your beloved, you need to face the beast.
Approach the Dragon to challenge it. It'll ask you again if you're certain. Answer yes.
