Is there any way to get rid of the dornbeast?

1. You can fight the dornbeast, but you're not likely to survive. Only the most powerful Magick can destroy him. That dorn is tough... but not invulnerable.
2. Read The Lore and Legends of Quendor.
3. Have you studied the illustration of the dornbeast?
4. The dornbeast has 69 sensitive eyes.
5. There's an object in the game which can wreak havoc on sensitive eyes.
6. It's in the tavern.
7. It's the giant onion in the kitchen.
8. Roll the giant onion into the Lamphouse. CUT THE GIANT ONION WITH THE DAGGER (or any other sharp weapon). This will inconvenience the dornbeast long enough for you to GET THE SEA CHEST and scram! (Refer to a previous question if you can't take the giant onion.)
9. You don't need to kill the dornbeast, but if you want to get maximum experience in the story (for more endurance) you can repeatedly cut the onion and attack the dornbeast while he's disabled by the onion. Alternately, POINT THE WAND (or whatever) OF ANNIHILATION AT THE DORNBEAST.
