The Dragon:
At the SW tip of Sparkfly Fen, the Splintered Coast is home to none other than the poison-breathing undead-dragon himself, Tequatl the Sunless.
The Fight:
Handling the AoE poison-attacks from Tequatl's chaffed underwings is a breeze with a dodge or two, but no matter what, you just can't hold up to the stench of his breath. To combat the inevitable, run straight towards Tequatl while he is preparing to grace you with his fear-inducing, obnoxiously-foul poison-breath. When you come back to your senses, you should be up close and personal with Tequatl, never missing a beat and maximizing your DPS.
Stumpatech's Pro Tip:
Spread your attention to Tequatl's reinforcements that spawn near the cannons. Doing so will give you two or three times the amount of loot you would receive from just the chest. If experience is what you are after, spend some time resurrecting the NPC's back there as well.

The Dragon:
Just north of the heart of Blazeridge Steppes, the Lowland Burns waypoint is home to where the first dragon you will likely come across in your adventures. The Shatterer is probably the most intimidating of the dragons, but the one that packs the least punch.
The Fight:
Get up close to one of Shatterer's targets, unload your dps and stay aware of any AoE attacks. A few times throughout the fight you will want to concentrate on killing the adds that spawn, ensuring they do not reach the cannons that pummel the dragon. About halfway through the fight, the Shatterer tries to be sneaky by spawning crystals that heal him. Be sure to take those crystals down as soon as possible to avoid any setbacks.
Stumpatech's Pro Tip:
Be lazy when it comes to the pre-event. The more people doing this event, means the more total parts to turn in, but there seems to be a shortage of them to go around.

The Dragon:
Halfway betweeen Slough of Despond and Earthshake waypoints, Frostgorge Sound plays host to the most robust dragon the world of Tyria has seen thus far. Clocking in at 80, the Claw of Jormag is the highest level, spawns the least, and takes the longest to kill.
The Fight:
The Claw of Jormag enters the first of two phases after a pre-event where you destroy a few dragon crystals. As ice spikes coming out of the ground try to prevent you from getting close to Claw, you will want to pick up a charzooka cannon from one of the barrels at the base of the camp. Be sure to ctrl+right-click skill 1 for the auto-attack and make your way to the left, just a touch outside of those spikes. You will be able to hug the left side of the ramp and reach a mound where you can easily attack the ice shield without being pushed back by the spikes. Every once in a while the Claw will let you know how poor his hygiene is and you will have to re-position, but no big deal. Once the shield is downed, the Claw will be stunned and you should run up and fire away until he..well..flies away. The gunners at the camp will bring him down for you to repeat the process two more times.
After taking to the sky, the Claw is brought down once more to begin the second phase, but in a location slightly to the west of the first. You will want to keep that charzooka cannon and keep your eye out for friendly golems coming from the camp behind you. These golems are wielding stun bombs that allow you to pump out some massive dps, but they need to reach the dragon to work. So whether it be a crystal or a mob, do all that you can to clear the golems' paths down to Claw and enjoy a much quicker victory.
Stumpatech's Pro Tip:
Do not get sucked in to the vortex that is Nub Rock. You can find the majority of your group slightly ahead and to the right of Claw in the second phase, wasting away with ranged attacks that hardly do any damage. Do not be a rock nub.
