Tips
  • When Gore Magala is hovering in front of the ballista, you get free shots, but it can also attack you. Be prepared to press B to cancel out of shooting and get out of the way.
  • Do not hit the Dragonator switch immediately when Gore Magala flies to the front of the ship; wait for its attack to finish before using it.
  • If you need to heal, jump off the side of the ship. You will be pulled up on a safety line, similar to when you fought Dah’ren Mohran. A supply box and a bed are at the bottom of the ship.
