First thing, as soon as possible is to get the Assassin perk. Assassin perk is pretty useless against the little monsters but it's invalubale vs. the bosses. Secondly, stay far away from the dragon boss. When he strats to pull you in, he won't pull you all the way in. If you are close to him, he will pull you all the way in. But keep your distance, and as soon as he starts to pull, let him. When the pulling is done, run away !
