As the wyrm flies overhead, starting the battle involves locating a gigas ballista whose general location is signaled by area messaging, killing the gigases guarding it (and any other creatures that wander over in the meantime), and firing the ballista into the wyrm, bringing her down to the ground.

	The first phase of the ~~real~~ battle is a conventional fight against the grounded wyrm. ~~In the second phase, the wyrm~~ can take to the skies at times, preventing many grounded attacks from hitting her. Archery, magic, and other ranged attacks still work. In the third phase, the wyrm pulls back to Wyrmreach. Up to five characters who were alive and battling against her when she withdrew go along with her for the climax of the encounter.		The first phase of the boss battle is a conventional fight against the grounded wyrm. She can take to the skies at times, preventing many grounded attacks from hitting her. Archery, magic, and other ranged attacks still work. [[Web (118)\|Web]] will bring her back down, making it immensely useful. In the second phase, the wyrm creates a mana shield that absorbs damage.

	The third phase can be the final phase if the five characters who went to Wyrmreach kill her. However, if they die in battle ~~or are otherwise unable to kill the wyrm after several minutes~~, the wyrm will return to the spot from which she departed at the end of the second phase. At ~~that~~ ~~point,~~ if a ~~remainder~~ of the ~~group~~ is ~~still~~ ~~there,~~ ~~they~~ can ~~kill~~ the wyrm ~~instead~~.		The third phase can be the final phase if the five characters who went to Wyrmreach kill her. However, if they all die in battle, the wyrm will return to the spot from which she departed at the end of the second phase. The bodies at Wyrmreach will gradually be teleported out of the area back to the spot where the wyrm returned. Other characters can also resume engaging the wyrm after she leaves Wyrmreach and whoever's in the room with the wyrm when she dies and was a top five contributor will get credit (even if dead).

	After defeating the wyrm, speak with Ulvrig in the Hinterwilds' Eldurhaart at the Altar of the Dragon (room 7503383 or Lich 30026, go door).

She can also summon gateways in adjacent rooms that need to be dispelled (effects like [[Spell Cleave]] also work) since they shoot acid through the area.
