Can You Fight the Dragon in Nord Mines?

Fight After Getting Mage Archetype to Rank 2

Once you reach the sleeping dragon, your party will try their best to let you know that facing it should be avoided and could possibly lead to everyone's demise. However, players can take on the dragon with relative ease should they prepare beforehand.

Before pursuing the fire dragon, be sure to equip a character with the Mage Archetype and leveling it to rank 2 in order to obtain Blizz, in order to exploit its main weakness.

Fire Dragon Mauna is still able to knock you and your party members out so make sure to guard, or use Dei or other healing items to heal your HP back up if needed.
