Hmmm...then maybe the 2hr could help. Your healing wont kick in till your hp is low anyway. So come in, use an icarus wing, etc. Then run up to spotter and 2hour. Beat the snot out of him until your hp hits 50% then turn it off and get ur wyvern back out to continue the fight using healing breaths. Of course You would need a bunch of hi-potions and yag drinks and perhaps some hi-ethers too and of course a couple of holy waters. I also like the idea to come in close to leveling to full heal halfway through that would be great.

I dunno, if you use your two hour at the start of the fight, you loose out on wyvern tp, but if the mobs use any AoE attacks, you loose out on wyvern hp, so it's kinda a toss up.

You could also try using one of the +stat potions, though it does leave you medicated. They increase the stat (str for str potion and so on) by a random amount between 15%-50% and last for about 5 minutes.

as others have said, I'd think the key to this is killing the eye fast. His magic is nasty and he has some kind of move that eats you if I remember right. I seem to remember him sucking in our whm or something like that at the beginning of the fight. Also, in all of the times that I have fought the dragon, he always does the AoE body slam move, I don't think I've ever seen him do anything else.

I personally would save SS til its down to just the dragon, then jump and high jump while its active to weaken and stun the dragon. Hopefully the TP and HP you get from your wyvern will carry you through.

I thought that this was a level 20 or level 25 cap BC fight, so high jump wouldn't work in there right? We get that at 35.

Yep, 25-cap. The Jump part for the weakened defense might still be a good strategy, though. As someone else pointed out, you could make sure your Call timer is ready, Spirit Surge and Jump the dragon, then cancel SS and Call Wyvern to get back to good old-fashioned Healing Breath soloing.

u could store up 300 tp on you and your pet, use your ws, and before your pet uses his breath, or sits there and look pretty, use your 2 hr and steal his tp

Re: Lvl25 Dragon Solo. Can it be done?

Am I wrong in thinking that TP can't be taken into the BCNM? Mission or otherwise? SInce you do "zone."

I've solod the M2-3 Dragon as RDM/BLM, and duo/trio'd it as RDM/NIN. In the RDM/NIN times, I did 80%+ of the work. The one in Palborough Mines Petrified me, and the other two jobs had to come in and try to finish it off. Petrify wore off just in time for me finish it off. Stil had to Raise one of them after it was over though.

But I agree in that MNK would be the best job to go in and solo this. Just bring your Hi-Pots, and !00 Fists away.

Re: Lvl25 Dragon Solo. Can it be done?

no you can't, but someone mentioned an icarus wing earlier, and that would be how...
also the reason to use the 2 hr would be to gain all of your pets tp which you can check
