The Dragon Slayer Overview

The Dragon Slayer Objectives

Help Taash Bait the Dragon

Upon entering the area, you will meet Taash, who will join you for the quest. Make your way through the ruins and fight the Antaam that you encounter. Continue on after defeating them and reach the beach.

Once you are at the beat, fight and take down the Deepstalkers. Once the initial wave of Deepstalkers are dead, a Deepstalker Matriarch will arrive. Defeat her as well. Be careful of the Matriarch's poison spit, as well as the exploding barrels in the area.

After defeating the Matriarch and putting the dead Deepstalkers in the fire, climb up and blow the horn to attract the dragon.

Investigate the Fort

Continue climbing up until you reach the fort via the long fallen log. Follow the fort's hallways until you reach some boxes. Destroy them to gain access to the zipline.

Once you reach the other side, enter the fort to engage and fight the Antaam stationed there. After you have defeated them, make your way forward until you reach a room with a chest.

Investigate the note near the chains to discover that the Antaam are planning to take the dragon for themselves. Go through the door to stop them.

Defend the Dragon

Make your way through the rest of the ruins, taking out any Antaam that you find. Right before reaching the beach, a cutscene will play, revealing Taash's secret.

After the cutscene, a fight will commence between your party and the Antaam, lead by Flameseeking Karasaad. Defeat all of them to save the dragon.

After defeating the dragon, talk to Taash to free the dragon. Remember to loot the area before talking to them to make sure you don't miss anything.
