The Dragon of Fyresdal
The “Dragon of Fyresdal” is not a dragon at all, but a large and dangerous forktail. The villagers of Fyresdal on Ard Skellig were sure a dragon was killing their livestock and children, but as the bestiary puts it, few people have any real idea what a dragon looks like, so all sorts of draconids get the title. This one carries an endless store of deadly venom and nests in the ruins of a wrecked siege tower near the village.
Forktails are fast, aggressive draconids that strike with claws, teeth and a forked tail, and they mix diving attacks from the air with fighting on the ground.
You hunt it in Contract: Dragon, from the Fyresdal notice board or the village elder Vagn. The bodies of two boys show claw and bite marks but no burns, and a trail of blood past a dead cow and a dog leads Geralt to the truth. As bait, Vagn hands over a sheep named Mia, which you herd to the nest. The forktail drops a forktail trophy and the silver sword Dancer. Tell Vagn the truth about the “dragon,” and he will only pay half.
Combat strategy
Go in with a potion that protects you against poison or helps you regenerate, since its venom is the real threat. The bestiary says fighting it without one is close to suicide. Bring it down with Aard when it lands or swoops, then work on it while it is grounded. Sidestep the tail sweeps rather than rolling back. If you want to keep Mia alive, herd her normally rather than with Axii, so she runs off when the fight starts.
- Coat your silver sword with draconid oil.
- Cast Aard to knock it out of the air.
- Grapeshot bombs do heavy damage.
- Drink Golden Oriole against its poison.
- Look for a chest around the base of the ruined tower.
- Signs Weakness: aard
- Oil Weakness: draconid oil
