Information and Stats

 * It is one of the dungeon bosses encountered on Bitterblack Isle
 * Appears with a downgraded Curse Dragon that it controls and takes possession of in battle
 * Will fly around the battle ground unless casting certain spells or inside the Curse Dragon
 * Magick attacks will do very little damage
 * The Curse Dragon that appears with the Dakr Bishop does not seem to fly and does not possess a crystal heart. It also has a very small health bar above it's back instead of the normal Curse Dragon health bars. This health bar represents how long it will take to either take the dragon temporaily out of commission or to remove the Dark Bishop from its possession of the dragon.
 * When the Dark Bishop disappears and the Curse Dragon glows yellow the Dark Bishop has taken possession of the dragon.

Tactics
Cursed dragons fight with a combination or ur-dragon like moves and some original onrd. The only difference is the smaller size of cursed dragons, and instead of fire it breathes out gas. The gas seems to be able to possess pawns. Try to fight from a distance with an attack like great cannon. Since this dragon does not have a crystal heart the best places to aim are the head or the wings. The dragon will also cast spells such as High Maelstrom, possibly only when the Bishop is in possession of the dragon.

It is best to have a vocation, such as Ranger, which can use long range physical attacks but also close range physical attacks on the Dark Bishop. If you wish to have your Arisen focus only on one of those aspects have a party build which will compensate as magic does very little damage. Whenever the Bishop raises the dragon be sure to remove the dragon from the battle before returnign your attentions to the Bishop.

The Bishop will come to ground periodically to cast spells and you should always bombard him then with fast physical attacks. Use the time when he is flying to conserve stamina (unless you are a long range vocation).

The Dark Bishop will take possession of the dragon and this is your chance to knock him on the ground for a while. Quickly and mercilessly attack the dragon when it glows yellow to force the Bishop out and onto the ground. Use skills here like Hundred Kisses to quickly deplete his health bar.
