First dragon

Prepare for General Velgar

A preparation guide for the Dragon Slayer encounter, updated for the health rework.

Reviewed September 12, 2026 · Early Access

The short answer

Progress Dragon Slayer to the Challenge Horn, prepare your equipment and current healing food, and bring poison management. Place the horn only when you are ready for the encounter.

Before you start

  • Dragon Slayer progressed to the Challenge Horn
  • Appropriate gathering tools for the quest’s materials

Finish the preparation before summoning

The reported quest route sends you to Velgar’s Rise and requires a Challenge Horn crafted at the Smithing Anvil. Its ingredients include Bronze Bars, a Dragon Tooth from the Stormtouched Highlands and Bloodwood Sap from Bloodblight Swamp. Use the current recipe menu for quantities.

Treat this as the end of a preparation route. Leave ordinary crafting materials at base, check equipment, and organise the items you need during a fight before placing the horn at the arena.

Respond to the danger before chasing damage

Poison reaches the floorMove out of the affected ground; check buildup rather than assuming protection lasts through every attack.
Velgar takes to the airTrack incoming hazards and reposition. Do not spend your remaining stamina chasing a damage window.
The dragon returns to the groundReassess your position, use a controlled attack window, then leave stamina for defence.

Use a failed attempt to diagnose one problem

If poison ends the attempt, improve hazard avoidance and consumable access. If you run out of stamina, shorten attack sequences. If you cannot survive a mistake, revisit the health-progression and food guide before changing every piece of gear.

This is a researched preparation guide, not a Kingy playtest or a guaranteed boss strategy. Exact timings, damage values and a recommended build need verification in a named installed version.
