Is There Anywhere Else To Attack Dragons Besides Their Butt?

Post » Tue Dec 20, 2011 3:01 pm

everytime i end up fighting a dragon with a non blocking character i find i end up having to run up behind him and smack his butt over and over. it gets kind of creepy after awhile. i cant attack from the front because if i cant stun him he just chomps me and i cant attack from the side cause he swipes and insta kills me with his wing or foot. has anyone else found another area you can attack in melee besides his derriere?

Hmm I always found the side works best as when I attack him from behind I get smashed with his tail.

I don't have the troubles you do from the side, but, then again, Lydia and my character's dog pretty much get most of any dragon's attention.

Their wings is a good spot to strike,

Saying you attacked it from the rear makes it sound like sixual assault

Normally I like to do it from behind.. but yeah, they have this strange sidejob fetish! :/ Don't underestimate their tailwork!

I usually attack face to face, they only chomp on you if your health is too low, that is their finishing move.
They are not defenceless when attacking from behind because they sometimes use their tail to pummel you, it probably is the easiest place (though not the most pleasant) to attack if your character is puny.

I always end up fighting them from inside their tummy... Cause they eat me.

Did you learn anything from Onyxia 40-man?

Stay away from the ass or you'll get sweeped, [censored]. Avoid the front or you'll get roasted by the [censored] breath. Don't grab aggro or you'll get [censored] by her claws. Stay away from the [censored] eggs or we're letting you [censored] die. Stay to the sides if you want to live.

Attack the wings. Dragons pretty much only attack with their heads and tails, the wings are pretty much clear. If you're at a high enough level, you can just slash em right in the face too; I can kill off some dragons (the most common ones and frost dragons) in two power attacks, it's amazing.

It's only creepy if the Dragon likes it and you carry on.
