The Purged Dragon is a quest in Divinity: Original Sin II. This quest is initiated upon interacting with Slane, the winter dragon.

Objectives

The sequence and content of quests vary based on party choices.

Free the Winter Dragon.
Alone on the sand, Slane the Winter Dragon was rotting in chains. The Winter Dragon is invulnerable. Whoever captured it must want it alive.

Heal the freed Winter Dragon.
The witch Radeka purged Slane. Her Purging Wand may free him. Slane is now free, but he still seems unwell.

Speak with Slane the Winter Dragon.
We gave Radeka's Purging Wand to Slane, and he transformed into a lizard.

Look for Slane's help, when the moment comes.
In return, Slane promised to help us in our hour of need.

Walkthrough

This quest is completed alongside The Dragon's Way.

Once you interact with Slane at   X: 578  Y: 160  , you will find that he cannot talk to you until you break the chains or totems. Break the two totems and talk to Slane. He will reveal that he needs Radeka's Purging Wand as she used it to steal his source and capture him. To obtain the wand, go to the 'Hollow Marshes - Dragon's Beach' waypoint found at   X: 582  Y: 103   and enter the skull-looking cavern at   X: 588  Y: 96  .

Inside the cavern, Radeka is harvesting blood roses. By either stealing it from her body or upon initiating combat, Radeka's Thorn can be looted off of her body.

Note: If fighting Radeka, be prepared for her to summon various beetles and undead enemies.

Return Radeka's Thorn to Slane for 2100 xp or keep it, which initiates combat. If you defeat him, you recieve 6000 xp and retain Radeka's Thorn.

For maximum exp, return the purging wand to Slane, granting 2100 xp, and before ending dialogue, have another party member attack Slane 3 times and then end the dialogue. This will start the combat right after he takes Radeka's thorn, and defeating him grants 6000 xp, for a total of 8100 xp. You will lose out on the purging wand with this option.

If Slane is kept alive, he purges the shriekers blocking the entrance to the final fight in Act One against Alexandar.
