Kor Dragan Stronghold Walkthrough

Get to Level 25

Kor Dragan is the only stronghold in Fractured Peaks whose minimum level requirement stays constant at Level 25+. Regardless of your current level, enemies in Kor Dragan will always be Level 25. It is recommended to be at least Level 25 so that enemies and bosses will not be too powerful.

While you can solo this Stronghold, the run will also be easier by inviting other players to help you out. Not only will this allow you to beat the Stronghold at lower levels, but partying up will also net you bonus EXP for faster leveling.

Destroy the Vampiric Corruption in the Area

Find and destroy the Vampiric Corruption found throughout the stronghold. These things are protecting a Vampiric Incubator, and you cannot progress unless you destroy them first. After getting rid of a Vampiric Corruption, kill the group of enemies that appear.

Destroy the Vampiric Incubator

Next, destroy the Vampiric Incubator which can be found near the center of the encircled area. It will also be marked on your minimap with an icon. When you destroy it, be prepared to battle an Elite Knight.

There are two more Vampiric Incubators in the stronghold. To progress, you will have to repeat and destroy the corruption and the other two incubators.

Go to the Room Beside the Church

Once all the Vampiric Incubators are destroyed, go to the room beside the church and destroy the Vampiric Abberation blocking the way. The hallway will lead to a room where you battle Nilcar, the Forgotten Bishop. Read the following tips down below to know everything you need to beat Nilcar.

How to Beat Nilcar, Forgotten Bishop

Move Away From His Blood Bullets

From time to time, Nilcar will attack you with Blood Bullets, a move that shoots fast and deadly projectiles. This is Nilcar's most dangerous move so move away to the side and dodge if you have to. This attack can deplete your health quickly if you are not careful.

Kill the Sanguine Monster First

As the fight progresses, Nilcar will unleash a Sanguine monster from the incubators in the room. Three of them will be summoned one by one throughout the battle. Prioritize killing the Sanguine as they appear since they can overwhelm you if all three are present.

Take note that Nilcar can revive the Sanguine after a certain period of time, so deal as much damage as you can to him while they are down.

Avoid the Hellbinder's Area or Destroy It

One of the Sanguine monsters can spawn a Hellbinder that shackles you and restricts your movement. You cannot dodge Nilcar's Blood Bullets when it shackles you, resulting in a quick death. To stop this, avoid the Hellbinder's area as much as possible. If you get stuck in it, quickly destroy it to get out.
