*Xtahua can conceivably one-shot fragile, unprepared characters, and even beefier characters can't stand up to too much of her fire breath. Pile on the fire resistance (as well as [[Repel Missiles|Repel]]/[[Deflect Missiles]] to make his breath miss you entirely) and deal your damage quickly, as she's still a menace in melee range. If at all possible, use [[freezing]] weapons or [[Ice Magic]] to take advantage of her vulnerability, but avoid fire and [[poison]].

Useful Info

Xtahua the Ancient is a unique fire dragon, much more durable than normal and with upscaled physical and fire attacks. Unlike standard fire dragons, she can destroy any doors in her way, and her breath attack leaves a cloud of fire at the end of its range. If fire dragon scales are dropped when she is killed, they will be inscribed, but are no different to scales dropped by ordinary fire dragons.

Tips & Tricks

  • Xtahua can conceivably one-shot fragile, unprepared characters, and even beefier characters can't stand up to too much of her fire breath. Pile on the fire resistance (as well as Deflect Missiles to make her breath miss you entirely) and deal your damage quickly, as she's still a menace in melee range. If at all possible, use freezing weapons or Ice Magic to take advantage of her vulnerability, but avoid fire and poison.
  • Xtahua's searing breath will leave a cloud of fire at the end of its path. Try not to get backed against a wall or into a corner unless you think you can handle her while standing in the flames.

History

Prior to 0.16, Xtahua's breath attack did not leave a fire cloud, and she only opened doors instead of destroying them.
