There is no defense against the Dragonlord's shadowy breath and lobbed shadow ball attacks other than avoiding them.
When the Dragonlord hops away from the bridge, it either charges dark energy to lob a shadow ball or summons minions
(and then charges dark energy).
Watch the counter in the corner to see how many minions you must defeat. The summoned enemies become more powerful
as the Dragonlord's health decreases. After he summons two dragons, he won't summon any additional reinforcements.
Manage your resources carefully. Don 't panic and place an incorrect item just because your health is low, or you failed
to avoid an incoming hit. Losing an item like a magic cannon will extend the battle, which rarely works out in your favour.
When the Dragonlord is nearly defeated, you 'll lose some of the helpful messages the game provides. They simply inform
you of the Dragonlord's situation. Press home the attack and restore clear skies to Alefgard!
After the battle, return to Tantegel Castle. Save if you need to complete challenges but don't want to battle the
Dragonlord again. Speak with the Princess, then everyone else. Finally, speak to the Princess again. Congratulations!
