One of my wife’s favorite lines in the cinematics comes before this fight. “Aren’t skeletons supposed to be dead?!”

And yes, they ARE supposed to be dead. Why don’t we fix that, shall we?

Yeah, I know, he’s big. I know, he’s scary. But you know what else? He can’t take his own fire and ice blasts.

This is where a good command of the camera control (right analog stick) comes in VERY handy. You need to be able to run around this Draik WITHOUT losing sight of his chest.

That’s right, his CHEST.

Watch him closely as you run for your life. Eventually, his chest will glow red or blue. When this happens, STOP RUNNING, and turn to face him with your shield up QUICKLY. He will blast you with fire (red glow) or ice (blue glow), but because your shield and armor are Nova Moted, they’ll just bounce right back at him.

Quick, run up and slash, whack, and slash again at his legs. You can usually hit him three or four times before he recovers. Once he does, start running and start the process all over again.

A third of the way through the fight, he’ll lose his legs. Yeah… He’s coming after you dragging his rib cage with his arms now. But he still has a chest, so just keep doing the same thing. After another third, he’ll just have to get ahead.

Sorry, I couldn’t resist the pun.

Yeah, now all he is, is a Draik HEAD, bouncing around and trying to bite you. He doesn’t have a chest to watch now, but that’s fine, because his invincibility is gone. Keep hacking away at his head and soon he’ll just be an annoying memory.

The Meridell Treasure Vault and everything in it (including, finally, Fyora’s Rod) is yours!
