How to defeat Dragon Lord Placidusax
We are not going to deceive you, it is one of the most complicated bosses in the game. So let’s start with the basics: save it for the final straight, or at least until your level is 100 or more . The impressive two-headed dragon has a huge amount of health, and while it’s easy to memorize his moves, the damage his attacks deal is so high it’s scary.
Placidusax behaves in a similar way to that of any other dragon, with one difference: this one is capable of becoming invisible at any time and appearing in another place with the intention of attacking you in a very violent way . So as soon as you see him disappear, he gently turns the camera looking for some magical effect to identify the place where he is about to appear. At that point, focus on rolling towards him just as he lunges at you. If you overcome this blow, you have everything in your face to win.
Except for the movement that we have explained above, the rest of the enemy’s attacks should not worry you. If he creates lightning bolts that appear on the ground, move away from the area and wait for them to finish falling. For the rest, you can block his claws, tail swipes, and head slams like any other dragon and hit him right after
