Now it's dragon time. Follow these steps to deal it a deathly blow:
1. Position yourself on any raised area of ground. It's easier to spot the dragon this
way because it can actually dive through surrounding hills if you're in a valley,
catching you by surprise. For the same reason, burrowing into the ground to find
shelter doesn't work. The dragon can dive through and hit you just as hard—you
just won't see it coming!
2. Keep your bow fully charged with the arrow ready to fly with a critical hit.
3. Take your time waiting for the dragon to start its attack run. It flaps around in the
distance for a while. Don't waste arrows firing at the dragon until you see it turn
and head directly toward you. Figure 12.12 shows the moment you should unleash
the arrow. Aim your crosshairs directly at the dragon's head. (My aim is a little off
in that screenshot. Let me just say that it can be quite difficult to fight an Ender
Dragon and take screen shots at the same time!)

4. A hit directly into the head causes maximum damage. You'll see the dragon flash
red and quickly change direction. With correct timing, you can repeatedly hit the
dragon without taking any damage.
5. Keep track of the dragon through the gaps in the pumpkin helmet. You don't need
to worry about looking out for anything else except its position. It should take your
full focus.
