Dragon fights issue solved

Ok I found a solution, first before trying this, if you have mods disable them (including cosmetic ones like reshaders, anything that alters the game files), otherwise do a fresh install of the game (to get rid of them).

Don't do too much damage too quickly if you have an op build, you have stagger the the dragon at least once every phase (I believe he perches twice per fight).

This worked for me.

The issue seems to be that you didn't stagger the boss before he perched, this was the problem for me at least, this was caused by my abilities doing too much health damage and not enough stagger damage which your melee attacks and other abilities do (so bring those abilities to the fight), and being a bit overlevelled since I'm at the point of no return and doing extra things rn.

    Fangscorcher is an important fight for companion quest and is broke at 65%

    I'm stuck at the Foprmless fight. At around 69-70% health he goes up and then I can bring him down to 65% and he no longer to takes damage.  I've walked away for an hour while my companions auto attacked it and still stuck on the perch.  I went back to a save before I killed the demons to unlock Formless and still he becomes immune and stuck.  I reloaded the fight 30-40 times and still the fight is bugged.  It's bugged.

    Edit: In case people are wondering, you can stand behind the pillar of the fence right in front of him and you take no damage from his lightning bolts. That's where I AFK'd.

    I'm having the exact same problem with 2 different dragon fights. They get to certain point, then both fly up on a perch and stay there, immune to all damage. NOTHING I did fixed this and I'm not starting over after 46 hours in. I'll just drop the game for now and come back after a fix.

    Sadly didn't work for me, at the scorch dragon, no mods or anything. Only have Lucanis and Taash attacking, Im not attacking at all,  he gets staggered (falls over and shows his belly)  then flies up and just keeps attacking without doing the AOE , and not taking any more damage.

  • I staggered him before he perched and he still became immune to damage at 2/3 health.

    Just slow down the damage and WAIT - when he is up the hill just do nothing and wait until he comes down again - both times. overly damage leads to the bug again :)

    I can 100% CONFIRM if you are using mods/cheats turn them or anything OFF before you start the fight. The dragon fights (all of them) will no longer be held up.

    Just do damage. dragon flys away, sits on perch wait 2 cycles, dragon returns, end of fight. thats how ALL the fights go.
