Welcome to our strategy guide video on how to beat the first - fairly annoying - Dragon boss in the game.
We'll talk you through our strategies, some of the things you should learn to do from this battle onwards and how to beat it with the minimum of frustration.

Ouch, this bad boy can sure pack a punch. For a chance of success, you'll need high defence; trek back to Yulyana's to buy better gear if necessary (you can also rest in the bedroom to recover HP and MP). The dragon uses Mow Down to do hefty damage to your whole party, so group-cast Cure to keep your health up.
Default to keep damage to a minimal and unleash the attacks when the dragon has negative BP from attacking twice (you'll probably be healing at this time too). If it doesn't look like the dragon's going to Brave, cast Cure to keep everyone's HP up or Protect to bolster someone's defence.
Occasionally the dragon will Brave and use Mow Down followed by Bully, a single-attack move, which combined can K.O. a party member if you're unlucky or not careful. If somebody bites the dust, Brave and use a Phoenix Down and Hi-Potion to bring them back into the game--ideally the turn they have negative BP.
As the dragon sustains damage, it will Brave with increased frequency, so it's important your characters can sustain the pain. If you brought a Black Mage along, Blizzard can eat a good amount of the dragon's HP.
