    This is the hardest achievement in the game period! It took me a good 100 or so tries over the course of a few nights to beat the Dragon. I was not expecting this kind of difficulty so I was playing the game nonchalantly until I found him. To start the Dragon has a staggering 1100+ HP. It has a slew of attacks that can devastate you quickly. I had to change up my tactics multiple times. It took me 200+ rounds to win. This was the spell combo that finally worked for my Assassin with 228 HP on normal difficulty.

    Spells
    -------
    Calm - To remove poison
    Charm - Destroys skulls to heal you
    Blackjack - Stuns enemy for 3 rounds
    Weaken - Cuts one enemy mana reserve in half of your choice without losing a turn
    Shadowstrike - Destroys purple gems which damages the enemy

    Weapons
    -----------
    Epic Hellforged Longsword (16/23) - 46 HP Crits
    Epic Glyphic Wyrven Poison - The blade applies a 14HP poison DOT for 8 round (112 HP Damage when said and done)

    Character stats
    ------------------
    Strength - 48
    Agility - 14
    Intelligence - 2
    Stamina - 1
    Morale - 28

    My Tactics
    ------------
    1) You will get poisoned very quickly, cure it with CALM as soon as you can and you will be fine for the rest of the match. Otherwise you will take 3 damage for 100 rounds. That will be 300 damage if you live that long.
    2) You will have to do your best to prevent the Dragon from acquiring purple gems and gauntlets.
    3) Use BLACKJACK to stun in conjunction with CHARM, SHADOWSTRIKE, & a poison strike when possible (The Dragon will resist your spells from time ti time).
    4) Use WEAKEN to manipulate the board to your advantage as it destroys the single gem color you choose to cut the enemy reserve in half. Use this to keep the enemy's purple reserve under 5.
    5) Use WEAKEN on the other reserves as long as purple is under control. Destroying all the purples on the board with SHADOWSTRIKE will help you work the other gems to set up 4 gem clears giving you extra turns, thus manipulating the board to your advantage.
    6) Cast CHARM when you don't want to make a move on the board or if there are a good deal of skulls in play to heal yourself. Healing is better then damaging the enemy with 3-5 skull combos.
    7) Gather gauntlets to build up your poison blade attack. For me it meant 20 gauntlets for 112 HP of damage
    8) Use the 2nd blade for a possible 40+ HP critical strikes as long as you have enough gauntlets in reserve to be able to use another poison strike again. You don't know when you will be able to gather another 20 gauntlets and you want poison working on the Dragon every round. So poison over critical strikes always.

    To sum up, build your gauntlet/gem reserves so you can damage with poison, SHADOWSTRIKE, & critical stikes. Heal with Charm. Stun with BLACKJACK so you can damage & heal.

    Good Luck
