A Chimera is part lion, goat, and snake.
Meanwhile, the goat will cast magick attacks that can put you to sleep.

A Chimera is part lion, goat, and snake.
How to beat it:I suggest taking down the goat head first to stop its ranged attacks.

He uses similar spells, including periodic lightning attacks, meteor summons, and even debilitations including silence.

I found this quite hard to pull off as a sorcerer, but you may fair better.
Eventually he will tire and land of his own accord.
