I like the magic user strategy personally, with Dark Bead (from the expansion) he is a push over. ‎  Lower him to half health with the arrow technique you describe then when he lands blast him twice with Dark Bead and hes done.

But that isn't a natural resolution. It's the furthest thing from it. I was referring to opening the area behind him up. Which you can do at a relatively early point of the game as soon as you have a half decent bow. It reminds of The Hobbit cartoon. Or my vague memories of it.

EDITED: Anyway. Every description of this guy on the internet before I mentioned this, like years after the game was released, talk about this dragon as if he's the last thing in the game to do. That's very misleading. With the right starting class you can tackle him as soon as you see him. Although a little padding would make it less risky. Time waste wise.
