Greater Cold Resistance

Strategy

Cold Resistance Tonics are useful here since the Hakkon dragon's magical attacks are all ice element. A recipe can be found at the Old Temple for this if not already acquired.

- Equipping the party with fire-aspected weapons will help increase damage output - Dragon-Slaying Runes are also effective

Hakkon begins by unleashing a pack of Frosted Gibbering Horrors to attack. Otherwise Hakkon will follow similar High dragon attack patterns;

- Frost Breath - Cyclone that damages anyone outside it as well as pulling the party towards Hakkon - Can take off and fly around while breathing Ice at the party - Can land on the upper podium, where Hakkon will summon more horrors as well as use Ice breath attacks - Stunning Screech - When weakened, Hakkon will flee to the raised platform and the party will have to move up to attack.
