i just killed the giants, but it would be interesting to know... im assuming that its somewhere in the montains and that they put the location on your map

As I played a good character I gave the Giants the benefit of the doubt and they said that if I killed the dragon they would give me the belt.

Cannot remember if they mark the map, but you come out of the fire giant encampment and then make your way to the top of the map from the east side. Basically the area transition is the same height as the fire giant one, but to the right abit. There is no shortcut to it apart from going south and then east and then north. Hope that makes sense.

The dragon will then give you the option that if you kill the fire giants he will help you. Go back to the fire encampment and kill them all mwahahahaha...sorry did I say I played a good character

What I did was go talk to the dragon and agree to kill the giants then I talked to the giants and said I would kill the dragon. Then the dragon shows up to help me kill the giants and i chose the option of attack both. I immediately disengaged and let the dragon and giants go at it for a bit then went after the dragon. Had to reload quite a bit to find a good plan but finally did it. Once I looted everything I headed back to the dragon's hoard and got it.

Does anyone out there have any particular strategies for defeating the Red Dragon?

I'll admit that I am attempting it at the moment with what I consider to be my B-team (ie I have no real offensive spell casters), but I am having no luck what-so-ever. In fact, so far the best I have managed is to get her down to half health.

I have also not really focused on creating decent items as so far I haven't needed them. Although I'm sure that going from a long sword +3 to +5, and full plate +5 will make a world of difference.

However I am wondering if anyone has found a reliable way of defeating her. Do particular spells work well, is a particular buff useful, is the loot worth the effort, etc?

Any suggestions or observations would be most welcome.

It's pretty simple. You lie him, and you lure him to the fire giants camp. There, when you have to choose who are you fighting with, you fight against the dragon. After you defeat him, let your companions fight with the red giants, and retreat to the place you entered in the camp. From there, you beat the fire giants. One-by-one !!!

I got Quara far away from the dragon lady, sent everyone else to fight her, and didn't stop casting umm... someone's... greater missile storm at her

I waited untill i had reformed the shards into the sword, then went back and used the shard storm on it. with all my other characters helping out i defeated it in 2 mins.

i killed her in her lair
and then went over to Fire Giants and killed them

Shud be able to kill her without spellcasters,
get urself +2 or +3 gear and it will be easy
