Baldur’s Gate 3: How to Beat Ansur in BG3

gamepur.com:

One of the last lines of defense in Baldur’s Gate 3 is Ansur, a bronze dragon who swore to protect the city when it needed him most. However, when you enter this area, he’s not too happy to meet you or the Emperor.

Upon encountering the Emperor, and believing you to be his thrall, Ansur attacks you and your party. Ansur is a large, undead dragon ready to rip everyone apart. Here’s what you need to know about how to beat Ansur in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Ansur is a level 17 Undead Dragon in Baldur’s Gate 3, making him an extremely difficult encounter, even if you reach the maximum level of 12. Thankfully, it only has an AC 19, oso it shouldn’t be too difficult to hit. However, it has a high resistance to Magical attacks, and you’ll want to rely on Melee or Ranged hits to do the most damage or find a way to have an advantage on any attack rolls against it. You can find Ansur after exploring Wyrmway and finishing the trials.

For my party, I brought in Shadowheart, Wyll, and Karlach to fight Ansur. My character was also a level 8 Monk and a level 3 Rogue. However, a big problem with getting into close range against Ansur is that it will typically have an Attack of Opportunity against someone unless they’re using a Polearm with Extra Reach. If you don’t have this, expect Ansur to take a swipe at your Baldur’s Gate 3 party member, and they might get knocked prone from the attack. Ranged attacks might be better, or if you have a feat that prevents attacks of opportunity against your character.

Because Ansur has 400 health, damaging it quickly is your highest priority. With Karlach, I was able to do at least 100 damage within the first round, and Wyll can do some decent long-range
