Yes, you can! However, there is a problem with this. The dungeon is for the most part single combat. This includes the zone where you can find drakes in this dungeon. In my opinion, you should still bring your cannon with you. This is going to help you kill the drakes much faster. Your cannon can hit some very nice 30’s and help kill them off much faster. You should also bring your cannon while you are using melee, it is still going to be effective. The cannon rolls of your best attack stat, so your ranging bonus does not really work.
