As the main boss, how to defeat the giant dragon Ratatan is one of the most common challenges for new players when advancing the plot. As the gatekeeping BOSS of the game's third chapter, the giant dragon not only has a massive size but also possesses multi-stage skill cycles and area attacks, which often lead to frequent team wipes due to unfamiliarity with the mechanics. In fact, as long as you master its skill patterns, prepare your equipment, and plan your tactics, you can gradually figure out the strategy. This guide will help new players quickly get up to speed with this tricky BOSS, from basics to practical combat.

First, it's essential to understand the core mechanisms of the giant dragon, which is the foundation for defeating it. Its skills mainly have three stages: in the first stage, "Earth Spikes Eruption" and "Dragon Breath Sweep" are predominant. Earth spikes will appear with a red warning circle on the ground, erupting 2 seconds later with a range of about 5 meters, dealing 30% health damage if hit; Dragon Breath is a 180-degree frontal cone attack with a burning effect lasting 3 seconds. In the second stage, it adds "Tail Hammer Slam," with a yellow warning on the ground when the tail is raised, falling 0.8 seconds later, knocking back anyone hit, and releasing "Flame Barrage" every 30 seconds. In the third stage, all skill damage increases by 20%, and it summons 2 small flying dragons, which interfere with players at a fast movement speed. These mechanisms are interconnected, and by remembering the warning signals of each skill, you can reduce the chances of being hit.
Secondly, the equipment and skill combinations need to be adjusted specifically. For weapons, ranged classes should choose the "Precision Crossbow," which comes with a 15% critical hit rate bonus, doubling the damage when hitting the neck scales; melee classes should use the "Armor-Breaking Axe," which reduces the BOSS's defense, making combo attacks more efficient. For armor, the "Fire Resistance Cloak" is recommended, reducing fire damage by 20%, and the "Swift Hat" for a 10% increase in movement speed. In terms of skills, ranged classes should bring "Piercing Arrow" and "Blink," the former for dealing area damage when hitting weak points, and the latter for emergency evasion of Dragon Breath or Tail Hammer; melee classes should bring "Charge Slash" and "Shield," with Charge for quickly approaching weak points and Shield to mitigate some damage during the barrage phase. For items, prepare 3 bottles of "Fast Healing Potion" (restores 200 HP in 5 seconds) and 2 "Flame Traps," which slow down the giant dragon, buying time for output when it releases skills. These equipment and items can be purchased from the third chapter store without spending too many resources.
The tactical rhythm in actual combat is also crucial. At the start, move to the side of the giant dragon to avoid the frontal Dragon Breath range, and ranged classes should maintain a distance of 8-10 meters for regular attacks, moving sideways when seeing the red circle of earth spikes. After it finishes its skills, there's a 1.5-second stun, during which you should focus on attacking the neck. Melee classes should wait until it raises its head to prepare for Dragon Breath, then use Charge Slash to rush to the side and hit the weak point, immediately retreating afterward to avoid the Tail Hammer. When small flying dragons appear in the second stage, ranged classes should clear them with a Piercing Arrow first, while melee classes use area skills to handle them quickly, preventing the small dragons from disrupting positioning. During the Flame Barrage, don't be greedy for output, keep moving in a small area, and use Blink or Charge to dodge the moment the fireballs land. In the third stage, drink the healing potion when the health drops below 50%, and save the Shield skill for the Flame Barrage and Tail Hammer combo to ensure survival, taking advantage of every stun to deal burst damage. Remember, "avoiding skills is more important than dealing damage." Even if the output is slower, as long as you don't get one-shot, you can slowly wear down its health.

In summary, the core of the giant dragon BOSS tutorial for beginners is "understanding the mechanics, preparing the equipment, and controlling the rhythm." First, remember the warning signs and avoidance methods of each skill through 2-3 attempts, then switch to targeted weapons and armor, and finally, maintain the "dodge then attack" rhythm in actual combat. Even beginners can clear the level within 5 attempts. Although the giant dragon looks fierce, following this method will turn "frequent team wipes" into "stable clears," advancing the main storyline while accumulating combat experience against large bosses, laying a solid foundation for future harder levels.
