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, he can destroy any doors in his way, and his breath attack leaves a cloud of fire at the end of its range. Butchering Xtahua's corpse may produce an inscribed fire dragon hide, though it is no different from the hides of more mundane fire dragons.

Tips & Tricks

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

History

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