In both online and offline modes, the Ur-Dragon must be defeated within its timed round and will fly away once the allotted time runs out. If the player has participated in killing the online Ur-Dragon, the next time they enter the Chamber of Lament while online (or immediately if the player has achieved a kill), a cutscene pointing to the loot will play loot not collected after exiting the Chamber of Lament will vanish. For more details see Ur-Dragon (offline). Offline players are able to take on the Ur-Dragon alone, but will face a weaker version of it, and receive different and less powerful rewards compared to that from the online foe. Leaving early is not typical behavior.Īll slayers of the Ur-Dragon have their names and play times recorded in the Hall of Fame. Normally the Ur-Dragon is a timed round that lasts approximately eight minutes from landing to making an exit, however it can leave the Chamber early, at random. The round ends when either the Ur-Dragon flies away or the player exits the Chamber. This grace period is finite and when over, a new generation spawns. All active hearts must be destroyed in one round to get a kill rounds may be repeated until either a kill is achieved or the grace period terminates.

If anyone enters the Chamber of Lament during the grace period, they will have a chance to kill the Ur-Dragon and obtain great rewards, along with other loot, and every item currently equipped on the Arisen will become Dragonforged.

Eventually, when it is killed by the first Arisen, the Ur-Dragon will go into a 'grace period', where it will appear with very little to no health and one to fifteen hearts will be brightly lit. Over time, as players contribute their effort towards the common goal, the Ur-Dragon's global health will decline. Defeating the Ur-Dragon online ultimately requires multiple encounters over the course of its life, but all players who inflict damage on the Ur-Dragon are eligible to receive rewards. The Ur-Dragon encounter takes two forms: a static offline battle, and an asynchronous online encounter, where players and their parties from around the world both contribute and compete online to take down the Ur-Dragon.

Destroying hearts is the most effective way to inflict damage to the Ur-Dragon, and doing so will cause the Ur-Dragon to drop plenty of valuable materials. Each time a heart is destroyed, the area around it will rot and fall, revealing the Ur-Dragon's true form. However, unlike The Dragon, the Ur-Dragon has thirty 'hearts' located all over its body, which will glow as the Arisen and/or their Pawns approach the area. The Ur-Dragon's appearance is the same as The Dragon, but with a gray/lavender palette. General Battle Mechanics For vocation-specific tactics, see Ur-Dragon Class Strategies.
