Key Takeaways:
- Stay on Horseback and melee the boss’s feet for an easier fight.
- Use torrent to close the distance and attack the boss’s legs.
- Take advantage of moments where the boss lowers its head to perform jump attacks on its head for increased damage.
- When the boss’s chest starts burning, run away to avoid its large AOE fire attack.
Fighting on Horseback
If you prefer to fight the Ghostflame Dragon boss on Horseback, it’s recommended to continuously ride around the boss and attack its legs. This strategy allows you to easily maneuver and deal damage while minimizing the risk of getting hit. By staying on Horseback, you can quickly defeat the boss without much difficulty.
Fighting on the Ground
If you choose to fight the boss on the ground, it’s important to use torrent at the start of the fight to close the distance and reach the boss’s legs. This will allow you to start attacking the boss and dealing damage. Additionally, when the boss lowers its head while breathing fire, take the opportunity to perform jump attacks on its head. This will not only increase the damage you deal but also increase the boss’s stagger meter, making it more likely to stagger.
Dealing with the Boss’s Attacks
The Ghostflame Dragon boss has several attacks that you need to be aware of. At around 60% health, the boss’s chest will start burning, indicating that it’s about to unleash a large AOE fire attack. When this happens, quickly run away in the opposite direction to avoid getting hit. Once the attack is over, you can safely return to continue the fight. Additionally, the boss will occasionally perform a stomp attack that deals AOE fire damage. Be cautious and try to stay away from its legs to avoid getting hit by this attack. Pay attention to the boss’s movements and adjust your positioning accordingly to avoid taking unnecessary damage.
