Note: This walkthrough is based on a German walkthrough (by Volker Doril with
additions by Frank Kryszon). This is not a verbatim translation. I like to have
two walkthroughs for games I play to give me a different perspective. There is
only one English walkthrough I am aware of: the one by Crash. Many thanks to my
sister, Alyssa Edmonds, for her translation.
This is a frustrating game that boasts excellent graphics and pathetically
abysmal gameplay. One point in its favor is a flexibility due to RPG elements,
whereby different players will experience different events in a slightly
different order. However, I doubt very many people would stick it out to the
bitter end due to numerous problems with the design of the game. This
walkthrough, for example, is much shorter than Crash's, yet some events are
different.
Castle
After viewing the beginning video sequence and meeting the sorcerer, you start
off in the castle. Go straight ahead through the doors to the cavern below the
castle. There are two important chambers in the cavern, the weapon room and the
smithy. In each of the chambers, you will meet a man. Talk to the man; he will
tell you what you need for your journey. Take everything you can. After you have
taken all you can, ask the man to show you the armory. When you have collected
all items, the blacksmith will prepare your dragonet.
Just Before You Leave ...
As the portcullis ascends, the sorcerer appears again. Ask him all the dialog
choices. He will offer you a healing ring. It is essential that you take it.
Then, you depart.
Journey
A short video with beautiful graphics begins. The dragonet is attacked by
dragons
(or other dragonets). It is severely injured, and both you and it fall to earth.
The dragonet is killed in the fall. The healing ring saves your life.
In the Forest
Investigate the area around the dragonet. You find some food. When you examine
the dragonet, you find an empty bottle. This bottle can be filled at the stream
as required. The game is extremely hard to map and is often a case of stumbling
over something important. As such, there is no clear direction on what to do
here. The in-game map is next to useless and completely confusing.
In your travels, you will meet a gnome. Ask him all the questions you can (he is
a friendly fellow!), and he will eventually give you a magic acorn.
Take berries as rations as you find them. Other areas follow.
Goblins
The goblins want your money. The first time you meet them, if you give them
money, they will let you pass. The next time, you cannot give them money to
pass.
To pass the goblins most efficiently, tell them you are a dragon lord. The
goblins believe that your dragon is hovering above them out of sight, and they
flee! You can then take one piece of meat. You cannot take more even when you
come across the camp again.
Enchanted Tree
Converse with the tree to gain as much information as possible. When you
convince
the tree that you wish to help it, it will give you a seed to plant. Take the
seed. Turn around and continue back to the river. At the river, turn left. Head
north to the quicksand. Later you will need to return to the tree.
Quicksand
Go into the quicksand. Quick thinking will save you from losing your life. Get
your rope out of inventory. Click it on the stump. You will pull yourself out
and
end up standing next to the stump. Notice the amulet on the stump. Ensure you
are
fully healed at this point. Do not take the amulet! You must first plant the
seed. The action of planting the seed wakes a demon. Fight the demon with the
ax.
When you have dispatched the demon, you can take the amulet.
Rune Stone
Use a stone on the stone to reveal the runes. Use a read spell to read the
runes.
After reading the runes, you can sleep safely here to recover some health. A
short video follows.
Goblin's Net
If you get caught in the goblin's net, do not give them any money or they will
hang you and a vulture will feast on you. You can free yourself with a lock
pick.
Enchanted Tree II
Return to the tree and tell it you planted the seed. It has renewed vigor and
transports you out of the forest. Another video follows, and you are on the way
to Draconia.
Draconia Gate
You can get past the guards by being clever and not annoying them. Tell the
truth
about where you got your possessions and reasons for being in Draconia and tell
them you wish to take part in the tournament. Tell them you are tired.
Draconia
You are now in the small town of Draconia. At night, goblins roam the streets
and
murder anything out there. Just inside the gate, you find a fellow who wishes to
buy your steed. Ask him all the questions you can. After the transaction, go up
the stairs to the marketplace. Go past the fountain and to the last shop on the
right. Buy a water bottle, some string, and a map of Draconia. Converse with the
people at the tables. When complete, leave the shop. Other more detailed areas
follow.
Fountain
Use the fountain to refurbish your water supply as required.
Arena (Before the Tournament)
Speak with the person at the arena. They will send a squire to help you make
preparations. Go up stairs. Note the coat of arms (this will take on
significance
later).
Beggar
Ensure the beggar tells you the story before you pay him. He will ask you to
kill
the goblin for him. Promise him you will. He mentions a jewel.
Church
The church is a potential source of healing magic. Talk with the priest. He will
mention the clairvoyant.
Draconia by Night
Ensure you have healed before this point. The goblin is in one of the barrels
near the church. As soon as you approach, he reveals himself. He tells you he
recognizes you from the forest and asks if you have followed him. He asks if you
know the secret under Draconia. When the conversation turns to the arena, he
begins to fight.
Beggar II
When you kill the goblin, the beggar gives you some secret information.
Fountain II
When you look in the fountain, a ghost rises from it. Ask him as much as you
can.
He asks you to get a skull from the Place of the Forgotten. Agree to help him.
Wait for daybreak.
Arena II
When you arrive at the arena, first note your opponent. Go through the entrance.
Speak with the squire. He then helps you prepare. Take the healing balm on the
shelf near the table. Equip yourself with a lance. After the first joust (win or
lose), you will return to the entrance hall. Heal yourself. Note your next
opponent. Go through the process of preparing yourself again. Take another
healing balm. Talk to all people after each fight. When complete, return to the
shop.
Shop II
Buy a lantern, iron rations (until you register full rations), and a mirror.
Return to the fountain for some water. Sleep.
Draconia by Night II
Night falls. Note the figure at the arch of the door. At night, it has hands!
Place the mirror in the hands. This will open a door to the secret city of the
goblins.
City of the Goblins
Use a reading spell to read the writing above a lever. Don't pull the lever.
Fight the goblins in the chamber. Get some maps of the city. At the pit, use the
rope on the beam above the pit to swing across. Get the skull from the alcove.
Go
back to the fountain. Talk to the ghost. Go to the temple.
Temple
Talk to the priest about the ghost. Give him the skull. Go back to the fountain
and banish the ghost. Take the magic stone.
Maraach
One night, a man will bring you a parchment from Countess of Cyrene. Read it. Go
to Prince Arthus's chambers. Enter the room. Talk to the Countess. Show her the
Ring of Fire. Prince Arthus attacks you. Use the acorn. Use the magic stone.
Talk
again to Countess. Get the healing potion and rune from the table. Join the
runes
using the Ring of Fire. Go to Maraach. Talk to him. Get the Crystallian. Go back
to Draconia. Watch another video.
Adamoster
Go back to tavern. Talk to Duke Eragg and Tanathea. Talk with the people in
town.
Go to the temple. Tell the priest about Maraach. Show him the Crystallian.
You'll
be taken to the Clairvoyant. Talk to him about the Adamoster. Talk to your
mother
about Maraach and Adamoster. Talk to Arthus. Get the Sword of Fire from Arthus.
Go to Heraldry. Fill your gourd with the water from the fountain if it is empty.
Heal yourself.
Draconia by Night III
At night, go down to the City of the Goblins. Pull the lever at the entrance.
Use
the Crystallian on the mist to go past it. Enter room and arrange the gems:
white, yellow, red, green. Exit by the path between the yellow and red statues.
Turn left. Turn right and go past the dragon heads. Keep going straight. Press
the orbs in this order: yellow, red, white, green. Exit through the door between
the green and red statues. Go through the false wall, down the stairs to a
fountain. Fill the fountain. A door opens. You will fight a four-armed golem.
When you win, take the Adamoster. Return to Draconia.
Tournament of Cennmar
Talk to all the people you can. Talk to the squire. Enter the arena. When you
have defeated three people, watch a video of jousting between Hellaynea and
Cariachan. Hellaynea is badly wounded. Use the Crystallian stone to heal her.
Promise to avenge her. Talk about Cariachan to Arthus. Princess Carmine walks
out
disguised as Quentin. Promise her you will defeat Cariachan. Take the amulet.
Coronation Joust
Summon Maraach with the Ring of Fire. Ride him to the Coronation Joust. Talk to
Arthus. Talk to Tanathea. Face Duke Eragg. Cariachan shows up riding his dragon.
Watch the video of the joust. Cariachan will protest when you win. Fight him to
the death. Watch the final video.
