Long ago, the evil Red Dragon ruled the world through flame and fear.

That threat was ultimately defeated by a band of brave adventurers, and peace returned to the land of Blanche.

One hundred years later—

A dark presence stirs once again on Firebreath Mountain, rising on the fringes of Blanche.

The Cult of Flame, seeking to conquer the world, has begun a secret ritual to resurrect the Red Dragon.

The one who hears these rumors is Solva, a young warrior descended from the heroes of legend.

To protect the world, you now set out on a journey to Firebreath Mountain.

The adventure begins.

Growing Stronger as Solva

Solva grows through combat, exploration, and various actions, gaining levels and becoming more powerful.

Further strength comes from equipment and temporary buff items.

Weapons and shields can be purchased in the fortress city of Faybrune, while rare equipment can be found in the Catacombs, recovered from the remains of past adventurers.

Conquering the Dungeons

Defeat bosses to obtain key items and solve the puzzles hidden within each dungeon.

Key items allow Solva to:

• Reveal hidden paths

• Turn invisible

• Jump to higher places

The Firebreath Mountain dungeon is divided into six areas, four of which are guarded by powerful bosses.

Defeating the Dragon

To challenge the Red Dragon, you must collect three sacred Dragon Buster relics:

• Dragon Shield

• Dragon Crown

Only by gathering all three can you face the ultimate foe.
