Dangers

Fire mobs deal heavy fire damage and fire giants hit hard; over-pulling near Nagafen can wake the dragon onto an unprepared group before you're ready for him.

Tips

Bring strong fire resistance, and treat Nagafen as a real boss fight, not a trash pull, cap your fire resist before you engage. Farm the giants and kobolds well away from the dragon's lair until you're ready.
