Talon - Dungeon Siege 2 boss creature

Template name: talon_stats

Dragons are as mysterious as they are exotic, though some have a reputation for their fierceness or destructive abilities. Only the Dark Wizards proved successful in taming these beasts, which Valdis used to his advantage in the creation of his armies.

No resistances or weaknesses are written in the template.

Where it is found

Places the map files put it in (the numbers can be 100 or more)
Place	Placed	Spawned	Random encounters
The Snowbrook Haven Courtyard	1

A story scene or conversation gives credit without a fight.

Confidence: Medium From the game’s map files. How many random encounters you meet is a roll the data does not fix.

Does it count for the Bestiary?

Can be completed

Enough of them exist, or a scene or conversation gives the credit.

Base game book: No. 288
Kills needed: 1 kill

1 placed, 1 needed.

Confidence: High the audit of the data files, confirmed by the in-game kill test

In-game kill test: unlocked after 1 kills (agrees with the data audit)

Natural spawn census: seen in 0 of 10 runs. A lower bound; a run only loads the areas near the party.

Kill counts are kept separately for Mercenary, Veteran and Elite. See how the Bestiary works.
