Preparation Follow the twisting passages through to the green star on the mission map. You should collect some Dragonsblood Spears on your way past the barrels, interacting will grant you the special action skill. You can optionally pick up some food from the marked table, though this will prevent you from obtaining the "Stubborn" achievement. Interact with the Command Table once you reach your allies. When the dialogue finishes, follow your allies down the curved sloping tunnel to emerge on the edge of an enormous cavern. Throughout the rest of the mission there will be curving purple branded marks on the floor - touching these will lose the Electrophobia achievement eligibility, as will touching the lightning bolts or pools of branded electric lightning. A note about checkpoints: The checkpoints in this mission are notorious for placing characters in a previous area, preventing characters from returning to the fight. Avoid dying! Likewise avoid being crushed by rubble as this may cause you to become stuck, and using /stuck will return you to an equally poorly placed checkpoint. First fight Talk to Aurene and Caithe when you're ready. A timer will appear in the user interface - move up to the platform at the top with the crystal whilst waiting for Kralkatorrik to arrive. From here onwards the Crystal Circuit Racer achievement is active. Stand in the marked circle, face towards the Resonating Crystal, and use the Resonating Blast special action skill when it appears - this will bring the dragon down to your level. Hammer it with everything you have, activating your Dragonsblood Spear special key when possible; this is a strong breakbar breaker and inflicts high damage. When the wound is brought down to 0%, step back from Kralkatorrik, clamber back to another marked area with white swirling light, and use the special action skill . You'll float up over the dragon to the other side of the cavern - you have virtually no control over this movement so don't worry about steering. You will be under the effect for the duration of the flight. Second fight Ignore your allies fighting random spawns in the corridor, and make your way on a mount to the next fighting area. Grab some more Dragonblood Spears on the way into the room. In the second room you need to charge 3 Energy-Crystals before you can blast Kralkatorrik. Do this by either killing branded within the area of the crystal or by throwing branded shards dropped by the branded. Kill sappers as a priority since these prevent the crystals being charged by killing branded, although throwing shards are still effective - use the Dragonsblood Spear special action skill on them. Charge the highest crystal last to minimize the distance from the final crystal back to the focal point to use the Resonating Blast special action skill. Grab more spears and hurt Kralkatorrik again. Beware his hitbox when he spawns as it will instantly kill the player. Use the special action skill to float over the cavern again once he's retreated. Third fight This corridor is longer than the previous one and has a couple of branded spikes that stick out of the wall as you approach - try to avoid being dismounted. When you come to a dead end, the ground moves and a bunch of dredge appear with a tank. They're here to blast through the wall - do not stand anywhere near the wall as it is very easy to become trapped within the wall or die due to the rubble. When the rubble has settled, use a Springer to clamber up then down into the hallway beyond. This time there are four Energy-Crystals that need to be charged. Kill the branded, again charging the top platform last to minimise travel distance. Use Resonating Blast when it is ready. Kralkatorrik will now charge up a massive attack - if you can see him, hide behind Braham to avoid being downed. Last fight When Kralkatorrik begins fleeing, chase on your mount round the corner to poke him in the eye. Orange warning triangles appear on the ground radiating out from his eye - avoid these as they deal significant damage. Use any remaining spears you have, combo-ing with Aurene when your special action skill changes. Kralkatorrik will move downhill during this fight - go down to where Aurene is to finish him off. Any achievements you're still eligible for will now be received (i.e. Stubborn, Electrophobia or Crystal Circuit Racer). After the cutscene your user interface will be largely hidden due to - walk down the slope to discuss the aftermath with your allies.
When Kralkatorrik charges up for his breath attack after the third crystal, the images and colors of Zhaitan, Mordremoth, and Balthazar surround him and mix in with his own purple colored energy, indicating the incorporation of those respective magical energies in the attack. Amira was erroneously named Jaynes in the release of the episode, but the name was changed in the 22 January 2019 patch. During this fight there are two types of usable "Resonating Blast" skills sharing the same name and icon, one is the actual Resonating Blast wherein the Commander channels Aurene's Power in an explosive blast, while the other is actually Coordinated Attack (unlocked) wherein the commander and Aurene preform a Weapon/Fiery Breath Attack Combo. There are some locations, usually around crystal formations, where it is possible to get "stuck". In cases where the "/stuck" chat command does not help, the only recourse is to exit and re-start the chapter. de:Kristalldrache es:El dragón de cristal fr:Le dragon de cristal
