Gyths Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 There are some notable strategies in the comments provided (and probably better) but here's my stance: Have no friends to rush Dragonfly? Not manning a Wigfrid or a Wolfgang at the moment? Don't have a cane to kite Dragonfly that soon? Anxious to the fact Dragonfly is overwhelmingly overpowered for one person to take on? Want to plunder the Dragonfly before the first winter even starts?! Well there's a solution! Here, in this soon to be patched exploit strategy against Dragonfly, you can stand up against Dragonfly with a bolstered attitude! Following these steps and necessities for feats of epic proportions, you can achieve greatness in at least 16 days or less! (Assembly required) (Note: Wendy or any damage-provoking characters may have different results. Wendy could be used, but be sure to use more armor and a pan-flute/more restoratives to heal up.) Materials/Gear: 10 Trailmix (10 Birchnuts, 20 berries, 10 twigs) Wigfridge: 6 honeyed ham A freshly made hambat ~2 stacks of stone walls (~30 rocks) A firepit 3 Log Suits 3 Football Helms 12 pig skin, 12 boards, 9 cut stones for 3 pig houses (Hammer 6 pig houses and to leave the pigs for death) A birchnut A sense of dignity Construction and Stratedgy: Follow this link!: http://imgur.com/a/1fgoi Exploit Strategy (written): After the constructing is all said-n-done, go closer to the Dragonfly in her chamber of glory. Lure her back in the box (Note that you will be damaged on the way back as she is faster than you), then lure her near to the pigs for their damage, also allowing space between the opening and her. Before landing a blow, repair the stone wall opening! Fight the Dragonfly, but just a fair reminder you might want to force attack her via the mouse before you go smash a wall nearby. After she does a good amount of swings until you're below half-health, take some time to eat those trailmix! Fight Dragonfly until her health goes below ~22000/27500, then she flees but gets stuck from the pigs. GG! You can smash her about until she dies, and plunder her loot! ((((If she pierces through the pigs and goes right into the magma pools, you dun goofed))))) Tips: Using marble armor isn't a bad idea, so if you find a marble-rich set-piece, use it to your advantage! Brought friends for once? Let the rest stay in the pen while one lures the dragon. Utilizing rabbits may substitute pigs. Never construct too close to the lava pools. Remember, the pigs can be reused again for future guidance! Pig houses are usually found near pig king, or an evergreen forest. Pig houses nearby? Tame them, or lead them with light at dusk, to the desert if possible. It may take an attempt or two to get the hang of it, as this really cheesy exploit strategy is prone to flaws if not careful enough. Try hosting your own game to practice, if you could. Oh, and I am open to any suggestions and revisions! and flaming fights because both the exploit and humor is crap Happy Dragon hunting~ Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/66792-walkthrough-to-kill-the-dragonfly-solo/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clwnbaby Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Yeah here is a much easier way. Ignore the flingo, was doing that to farm rocks. Also the shell armor is unnecessary but saves on healing food. https://www.twitch.tv/clwnbaby/v/63575738 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/66792-walkthrough-to-kill-the-dragonfly-solo/#findComment-762111 Share on other sites More sharing options...

This puts my post to shame The shells are pretty simplistic, would compensate for most armor and restorative healing. Perhaps this tactic exclusive to that of Maxwell/Webber, but who am I to say? Now, if only there was a way to farm snurtles quickly without being smashed by many slurtles at a time. The fastest time with my own strategy took 7 days, but I'll continue improvising.

Quyzbuk Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Yeah you guys are all still overcomplicating this. Let me demonstrate. The fastest I've done this using this method was by day 5, with Wolfgang, but he is by no means necessary to do this strategy.

I was just playing him last night and its the only available clip i have from my stream. You can do this with any character. Getting shells is easy btw. Just go to mud biome and run around smacking mounds with your lantern until snurtles pop out.. Dont even bother with slurtles they go back in by the time you can make your round to all the mounds. Takes like a day or 2 in game. 15 minutes ago, Quyzbuk said: Yeah you guys are all still overcomplicating this Yeah ours are at least legit strats and not exploits. Yay you found something that should be patched like the fire/icestaff permafreeze exploit. As I said with my post, the armor isn't necessary. THe whole point of the video is the wall. All you need is the wall, no pan flute, no special gimmics or exploits. Everything else, as said, can be ignored.

Its a bug dude. It will get patched out one day cause it was not their intention that the Dragonfly bug out and do nothing the whole fight. Just like the icestaff/fire permafreeze got patched out.

Quyzbuk Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 You're caught red-handed mate, try to pass it off all you want, but your hubris got the better of you. And just like my method could be patched out someday, yours can too. As soon as they give the larvae pathfinding like the hounds, the ability to damage walls and/or allow them to walk over lava pits, guess what happens with your strat? Poof.

Clwnbaby Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Thats fine.... I soloed the Dragonfly in so many ways doesn't matter really. Also the larvae do have some pathfinding, if the wall isn't big enough or you're standing in the wrong spot they go around it. As for me passing it off, LOL! sure buddy. Im done responding here cause clearly you just want the last word so you can have it. I gotta better things to do.
