    Best way to do it when you're lvl 30 is to play or replay the Fire and Fury quest from Eltariel.

    You have to kill three drakes at the start, so simply bring one down, summon your graug and have some fun!

    I found it much easier than trying to get one in open play.

    Draco719You don't even have to bring it out of the sky, you can just be riding it while shooting it with arrows

    Phoenix C64I was just roaming around Gorgoroth when I saw a Drake, lowered it's HP, shadow mounted it. Then I flew around through some outposts, looking for a Graug bait. Broke it, waited for the Graug to be mountable, went on it and killed the Drake with arrows = achievement.

    Jonah FalconEh, just make sure you damage it. Orc archers often help.

    Fast travel to the Haedir point in the middle of Nurnen or bottom of Seregost. There is approximately a 25% chance of a drake spawning, just keep using the "advance time" option until one spawns.

    Next, you'll also need a Graug, so I would recommend the Upgrade: Graug Call for the Call Mount skill under the Mounted skill chain. Equip this.

    To set up you'll want to attack the drake to approximately half health using your Elf-Shot, then go to a large open area and spawn you Graug; then mount them, The next step involves getting the drake to attack you with the fireball attack, so get close to them and follow them around the map if necessary. As they are about to attack, they will stop, hover, open their wings and shoot a fireball. As they are doing this attack, you must hit them in the head with an arrow to bring them down to the ground. Once on the ground, use your Graug to attack them and kill them. Repeat until it works to unlock the achievement.

    TheBigBBThis is much easier to do by just shooting the thing dead from the Graug's back. So much so that I think the solution needs to be revised.

    AradorAn easier method to get Drakes is have a Feral Tribe Overlord and the Fortress will have a couple of Drake Baits in it

    I finished this achievement, with a slight variation to those above...
    Quick version: dominate a wild Graug, and use Dragon Song to summon a Drake... Being a summoned mount, it won't fight back making taking it down very quick and easy...

    Longer version:
    - You'll need to have completed all the Carnan quests, to unlock the Dragon Song skill... As a result, this method is probably best for those near completion, and looking to mop up the last few achievements, so wouldn't recommend it on a fresh start...
    - Fast travel to the Haedir located in the South West corner of Seregost (over looks the Ice Plans to the left of the map)...
    Every time I travelled here, a Graug spawned just north of the Haedir tower, close enough to see on the mini map... Other guides mention a Drake spawning near here, which I didn't have any luck with after 10ish "Advance Times" unfortunately cry, so found this method worked a treat...
    - Head to the Graug, weaken then dominate it, then mount up and travel out to the far reaches of the Ice Plans
    - Summon your Drake, then go to town on it with your bow (charged headshots will kill the Drake the quickest)

    Any suggestions to improve or flesh out this guide, let me know toast

    I Argonaut IEasiest Method by far. And dont bother trying to bring it down to the ground like the other guides mention, just shoot it with head shots while mounted on the graug. I had 2x of the Feral Legendary set on that let me mount the graug without breaking it which made this ultra easy. Just head shot the drake a few times, let your focus build back up and head shot a few more times with your best bow.

    PuckJunkieGreat solution. I combined it with the achievement for riding all beasts... go find poison graug (or ice, or fire), break him, and ride him as needed for the achievement - then summon the drake and kill him while still riding the graug.

    cogmiosand turn off the skill "your drake will take far less damage" for extra speed.
