How to Beat Fell Dragon Youngling
The corrupted beast brooding atop Howling Peak, the highest point in Embervale.
Slaying it completes 'Slaying The Corrupted Beast' and yields the ingredient for the Flame Altar's eighth and final upgrade.
Strategy
Its damage is heavily reduced until you stun it, so build for stagger and unload during the grounded windows. Deflect the meteor ring back, dodge the fire-breath sweeps, and clear the summoned Vultures fast. Fire resistance gear plus warm clothing for the altitude makes the fight survivable.
