Overview
The dragon circles the central island healing off the obsidian pillars, so the fight begins by destroying every end crystal on top of them, iron-caged ones included. Once healing is cut it perches on the portal and takes melee damage, then resumes strafing runs, wing-buffeting you off the island and dropping pools of dragon's breath that deal damage over time. It cannot be hit by ordinary arrows while healing. First kill awards 12,000 experience and opens the gateway to the outer islands.
