I was struggling with this boss and worked out an effective strategy. Figured I would post it because it was a fun fight to master.

Phase 1 is mostly about dodging and attacking the weak point when you can [the dragon's head]. I didn't find much use for my shields. I'd recommend 2-handing a weapon with some decent reach to make it easier to connect to the dragon's head during opportunities. Prime positioning for phase 1 is a medium distance away from the dragon's face. If you are directly beneath the dragon, it will try to breathe fire on you and you don't want that. At a moderate distance, any attack they try can be countered handily.

Phase 2: You want to close the distance as soon as possible because he will just bomb you with obnoxious spells at range. A fast weapon and a nice shield helps. I was using a shield with 100 physical and high lightning resist, and found I didn't need to roll much as a result. He uses some very powerful lightning abilities, but with the right shield you can easily block the bulk of the damage instead of trying to evade it.

Both boss phases have opportunities to riposte the boss from its face for lots of damage. I don't know why, but my heavy weapons didn't present me these opportunities at all whereas my straight sword gave me them consistently.

The music was added by somebody to my random stream playlist. it is "Torn from the Heavens" from FFXIV.
