Fatalis shoots a wide spread of fire from his mouth that can easily kill you if you get hit by it.

Target his head for the majority of time to deal more damage and weaken his fire attack. Stay behind him and attack his tail and legs to make him fall to the ground.
The General will shout when Fatalis is about to unleash an extremely powerful fire attack, so that will be the sign for you to take cover behind the barricade.
