Episode 1 Bosses - Dragon
The dragon is the first boss you will encounter in PSO. It is pretty easy to beat if you follow these basic steps. When you first enter the dragon room, run towards it legs and not it front of it. The reason being, it starts breathing fire nearly as soon as you enter, This can do massive damage to you.
Blade style weapon:
Run up to the dragon's legs and start hitting them. After a few powerful hits its head should drop to the floor. Go hit it as it does the most damage (fast hitting weapons are best here like the twin brand, daggers, etc).
When the head lifts up, the dragon is about to take to the sky. If you run back to its legs and hit them you can sometimes stop this, if not get running.
When it its in the air it has two attacks:
1. It will shoot fireballs: It is really easy to avoid these, Just stand under the dragon and it will miss you. Make sure you move when it is coming down or it will land on you cause damage.
2. It will dive underground and start moving about really fast. To avoid this run around the outside of the area until it comes up.
When it lands go for the legs again until the head drops, attack that & repeat until it is dead.
Gun style weapon:
Run towards the legs as above, to avoid the fire then go for the head. Don't bother shooting the legs. When it is in the air, follow the same tactics as above. Trying to shoot the dragon when it is in the air often proves to be a waste of time as you miss and you cant seem to target it most of the time.
Force:
If you are a force then ice spells and grants seem to work the best .
Follow these steps and you will soon be in the caves.
Episode 1 Bosses - De Rol Le
The second boss is De Rol Le, he is much tougher than the dragon for a start. You are on a little raft so you don't have much room to run around.
The best type of weapons to use are ones that can hit multiple targets such as swords, glaives, etc for hunters, and shots for rangers. The spread needle is a really good weapon to use if you have one.
If you are a force then bombard it with fire spells as they do the most damage.
De Rol Le has a lot of attacks so I will go into them and tell you as best I can, how to avoid them.
Purple blobs:
The first attack he will use is a sort of purple blob projectile. The thing is he fires about 25 all at once the best way to dodge these is to run back and forward near his head until they stop.
Exploding spikes:
Next he will launch about 7 little spikes on to the raft. Make sure you destroy these ASAP as they will explode if u don't. I think you can get them all then get 2 corner ones and the middle one, hide in a corner that doesn't have a spike anymore (little lines start coming off them just before they explode).
Exploding spikes that surround you:
Sometimes he will fire three of those spikes and they appear around your character If you move, so do they, so you need to destroy them fast. He will fire the purple blobs straight after.
Rocks:
When De Rol flys across the room dropping rocks, run right into the corner that is as far away from him as possible. If you are in the corner enough, then the rocks will miss you.
Energy beam:
When he stands up and fires the energy beam at you simply run from side to side.
If you are using a sword then you can only really hit him when he lands on the raft, the best place to stand if you are using a multiple hit weapon is his head looking down his body this way you can get several parts of him per hit making the fight much shorter.
If you are using a gun you can hit him pretty much when ever you like it is still best to aim for the head as this does the most damage.
If you are using a fire spell don't stop attacking as you will hit him every time.
Episode 1 Bosses - Vol Opt
This has to be the easiest boss I have ever seen in my life, it can be killed in about 2 minutes.
Around the outside of the area there are monitors, when Vol Opt is moving in them simply shoot them with your spread needle or hit them with a multiple hitting "Sword". If you are a force use lightening spells.
Then little Vol Opts come out of the floor, hit the red one until it blows up.
Once you have destroyed all the monitors or mini Vol Opts (or caused enough damage), it will blow up and then the second form appear.
While in the first form the only attack is has it lightening, it doesn't do much damage and I don't know of a way to dodge it.
The second form can be a bit tricky but it’s still easy.
The first attack it will do is fire missiles run around to avoid them, then you will see a red beam lock on you, hit Vol Opt until you see the big red flap go up when you see this start running because he is about to try and flatten you, (this attack will kill you if it hits you depending on your level), after three pole like things have came down attack him again, he will then try to flatten you again so get running. All you have to do is run around him. Next he will heal him self so keep attacking, when you see a little energy ball coming towards you, don't run away as it will catch you, run on the spot instead.
Repeat until dead

Keep up the good work- I am looking forward to seeing the addition of falz/ ep 2 bosses as well as Ultimate guides. As a suggestion, maybe you could just make edits under the regular boss to show the diff between it and its ultimate counterpart. I could help you with this if you'd like
