I just beat on her. Hid behind the torch thing that she starts off next to, then run in and beat her again.

She has a pretty dumb rotation - black dragon bolt, some 500+ dragon breath, black dragon bolt/or fear, some 500+ dragon breath, etc etc etc.

BB Kiting...

If you manage to get her up the stairs towards the shrine, there's a semi safe spot on top of the wall... She can probably still range you, but you should be same from most of trash mob ( unless they have the idea to range you too ) and safe from her breath. 

I haven't tested it I was busy running after little spinning stones and spamming BB/Hjeal Self/BB/Cocoon/BB/Grab Stone/BB/Hjeal Self/BB ... ( and getting the spinning stones near the shrine on hte way to the top of the stairs to jump from there... that's how I discovered that spot on the wall )

Went in there for the first time yesterday and discovered the safe spot quite by accident.  She's a nasty piece of work on a melee with no big burst healing; I was on a 1st-life ungeared out-of-destiny pure monk, and wasn't at all prepared for the 1,009 points of no-save damage I got in the face the first time.

Thankfully, I had pulled her out anyway and was near the shrine.  Light Monks thankfully have a no-fail, unlimited-range easy button for pulling mobs one at a time without attracting unwanted notice   Grin

Yeah, she wasn't too bad the second time. I just wasn't expecting to get the big can of whoopass unleashed compared to the rest of the levels. I didn't even bother to move out of melee range in the other flagging encounter.

The number of mobs does seem to get pretty funny in a full party though Cheesy

You can also get on top of the gate and dot or range her from there. You can jump from the shrines to get to the top of the gate.

Yeah, after being there a second time, my safe spot is in fact on top of the gate.

\o/ I was able to kill her myself on my lvl 25 bardcher. Smiley Just manyshot + kiting and self healing. Tbh I was more annoyed with all the darn trash, so I ran away to kill off some of the trash before focusing on her again.

But yeah, I needed 3x manyshot before she was dead, but hey, I did it myself on a lvl 25 bard, with no cheats and in a leveling ED. And I didn't die. So yay me. Grin

I'm 99% certain that I read in the release notes they were giving that breath a save.

I beat her up yesterday and WOW was she tough compared to most of the enemies around that level.  It wouldn't be so bad if she had only fire breath, but switching elements like that makes her a lot harder to prepare for.

Dealing with the trash wasn't too bad since they ran faster than she did, so I could kill them while she was on the other side of a building, but killing her was challenging.

Her breath should allow for a save, it's a nasty bug it doesn't.

As someone already stated there are 2 buildings that you can ff to and range and caste from.  There are also a couple ledges at the top of the stairs you can run on to.  I kited her onto that ledge (which she just stayed on), jumped off and we ranged and everything from the building tops.  She never really figured out how to jump back onto the stairs to follow us.

If you take her back towards the stairs, at some point she stops chasing you and just throws stuff and casts BDB at you. I was feeling lazy so I just started chucking tornadoes in a bottle at her until she was dead. It only took like 15.

Something else that's interesting is that when you charm stuff down there, it stays charmed for a LONG time. If she spawns enough stuff, you can just charm it all and let them fight it out. That's what I did on my wizard. Somehow managed to get a battlerager charmed (without the pink hat) and he just killed everything. He wasn't even targetable. Very weird.

The easiest for me has been to just to pull her up to the top stairs (above shrine). If you stand near the edge her spells get caught on the top stair (from her distance away from you)
Whatever your class you can ping her off. Just have gh or the cow will keep fearing you (if your will sucks).

Jeweled Cloak, then swap to PLIS. If that isn't enough then uninstall.

Her no-save dragon breath attack should be fixed in 21.1
Hopefully.
