After defeating a few knights abhorrent, and walking past
a dread dragon still behind a gate, look for medicinal herb After defeating the
(x3) in a treasure chest. dread dragon, descend
the steps to get a ruby
of protection from the
treasure chest. Equip it.
Now. The chest on the
opposite end of the room has a scare root.
Examine the dragon throne, then investigate the wall behind
it. Break through the weaker blocks and follow the hall to the
Dragonlord's true throne room .
To kick off the fight, the Dragonlord hides behind a magic shield and sends out duplicates.
Other hazards in the room include the evil idols (which you can knock out quickly with a
hammer) and orbs summoned by the Dragonlord that send out fiery blasts you must
avoid. He also sends out blasts from his energy screen. In addition, he attempts to
curse you from time to time, blocking out your access to items.
The smaller duplicates are strictly melee fighters whose only strength comes
from numbers. The larger duplicates charge up a powerful dash attack. To avoid
the dash attack, try moving to a higher spot (the top of the steps, for example),
then counterattack. If you 're comfortable in the Bashmobile, use it here to fight
the duplicates. However you eliminate them, their numbers are tracked in the lower
corner of the screen.
If you survive two to three more rounds of eliminating
duplicates, you will defeat the Dragonlord's human form .
Before you remove that last tick of health, you should
consume any remaining seeds of life in your inventory. If
you're trying for the challenge, this is your last chance to
stash the legendary equipment into the colossal coffer.
Don't worry if this battle used up every Yggdrasil essence
you were able to craft. There's one more battle ahead, but
no items will carry over.
The Dragonlord pauses long enough to pose questions to you.
Respond NO to the first to begin the battle against the Dragonlord's
true form. (Note that responding YES twice results in death, and you
start again from your last game save.) All your items, except any
legendary equipment, are removed.
