How to clear the Dragon in Level 5 of the Endless Paths

Spoilers ahead, few hours into game!

In game playing for 17 days, slain 259 enemies. Party all level 5.

I've gotten to Endless Paths of Old Nua level 5 and I can't beat this dragon no matter how hard I try. Am I supposed to beat him now or should I pay him a visit later?

The Endless Paths is a 15 level optional dungeon of ever increasing difficulty. The bottom levels include some of the most difficult content in the game. It's possible to get further than you are at the level you're at -positioning and gear matters more than anything - but it's very difficult to do so, and really, there's no reason to force it. If you can't handle it now, come back later.
