Everything from the other solution is correct, however, just to add some more information:
The Ur-Dragon is a post-game boss. You can find it in Everfall in the Chamber of Lament.
As stated, the online Ur-Dragon is community based. You'd have to get the final shot to win the achievement. So offline is preferable. You can change this in settings.
Level 60 and up is still fine for the Ur-Dragon, but it will definitely take a few tries. Just remember that you can continue coming back to deal damage for as long as you'd like. Easy mode is also smart, as he said.
Before going offline, you can also borrow higher level pawns if need be. Make sure their equipment/skills are well suited for the Ur-Dragon. You can see this before hiring them from the rift. There's also a pawn thread already set up if you don't have any friends with high enough pawns.
To elaborate on what is a good set-up, try not to use mages/sorcerers unless they're outfitted with holy magic. Instead rely on classes with a bow, since alot of the hearts (the weakpoints) are not accessible without them. otherwise, you'll have to climb alot. Having a party of striders isn't so bad of an idea.
The hearts glow a pink-purple color and they're scattered across the Ur-Dragon's body. Targeting anything other than the hearts is practically useless, so don't waste your time.
Blast Arrows work really well to do damage fast. You can also use a maker's finger, but it won't be an insta-kill like usual. And you have to hit the heart to deal the damage. Liquid Vim and health poultices are obviously wise as well.
There's a few good tactics for the fight:
Avoid the fire, you can tell when it's about to spit
Don't stand in the line of its attacks (especially when it whips its tail)
Again, always attack the hearts, not anywhere else
When it perches on the tower, try to use Maelstrom or any archer skills
Strike the legs first, since it will cause the dragon to tumble
As Ostrowidzki said, the dragon flies off after 8 minutes or so. However, he will return with the same health you left him with. In order to get it to return, you need to pass 7 days in-game. This is the same for all large monsters in Everfall. Sleeping at an inn can make it faster.
EDIT: A few commentors said you can just fast travel via port crystals and not have to wait the 7 days
Hope this helps!

As of this writing, you no longer have to wait seven days to fight again. There is a Riftstone on the small beach (Starfall Bay) in Cassardis that will let you reenter the fight repeatedly.

No clue what pre-requisite was needed by Laralas, but there is not a Riftstone on any beach in Cassardis. Least not in offline mode on 1st playthrough. I engaged Ur-Dragon once in Everfall, but it has not respawned nor is there a Riftstone for me.
