Technically the official answer is that his weakness was his overreliance on specialized minions. He "gave" pieces of himself to certain minions - the Eyes and Mouths most of all - which meant killing them directly harmed Zhaitan. Combined with depriving Zhaitan of his six largest sources of magic (Artesian Waters and the five temples) on top of killing those Eyes and Mouths is what led to Zhaitan's weakened state in which we could kill him by almost literally poisoning the magic left within him. It'd be like force feeding bleach to a person who's been starved for a week while simultaneously beating them up. That said, this thread won't die, because someone's just gonna necro the topic once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Vincent III.1286 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 It seems like everyone is forgetting about Trahearn's Wild Hunt and whatever magic he injected to the land to help it "heal" that probably act as a poison to Zhaitan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mem no Fushia.7604 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 We also used foefire from ghosts from Ascalon to kill risen and sink ship - it was very effective to kill undead with power of another undead, so it could be additional weakness for dead dragon too.

Arden.7480 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Zhaitan's weakness was death. We killed his representations, he was weaken. Dragons' strengths are also their weaknesses. Josso Essher: The most important lesson an Exalted must learn is: though Elder Dragons are unimaginably powerful, they can be killed. Josso Essher: Each has a distinct flaw. Josso Essher: Mordremoth, for example, dominates thought. But its most powerful asset—its mind—is also its greatest liability. Josso Essher: Kralkatorrik's unique strength—its power to crystalize objects—is also its singular weakness. Josso Essher: Its creations share a fundamental resonance that connects them back to the crystal dragon and makes them vulnerable to each other Aka that's why Aurene was that important, she was the last remaining character that could actually be successful with killing Kralkatorrik, she, like Glint and Vlast, was Kralk's weakness. His weakness is Crystal aka his Blood, because we could see in War Eternal that his blood is actually millions millions of crystals. Mordremoth's strength was his mind, controlling over people, over Sylvari mostly, but not only. But his weakness was his strength for we actually made him killable by shattering his mind in Hearts and Minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arden.7480 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 tl;dr So basically it's like we turn their strengths into weapons against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arden.7480 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Also Josso said that Elder Dragons can be killed. Well those Elder Dragons indeed can. Now Aurene is an Elder Dragon, but she can't be killed. She is like an Immortal Soul of Tyria. First of her kind... Aside from this topic I wonder if somewhere in near future she will actually become mother for new dragons, so they will be raised by her and presumably also by us to replace the Elder Dragons...
