ok time to raid a dragon's lair

I spent the last 30 minutes making the perfect orbal setup so I feel great. I'm prepated to kill even Loewe if he appears in front of me

Olivier is the man of choice here, and his spell list is multiple pages long

after a lot of walking around and trying to convince an npc to help us, we enter a dungeon where the normal enemies look like bosses

have heard this game took long to release in the rest, but wow

I was expecting to have to fight Loewe. We have to fight the dragon.

The dragon is... kind of easy? It has one attack that deals massive aoe damage, but only uses that once and then spends the rest of the battle doing nothing. The 25k hp is a lot but its defense isn't much greater than average so it goes down eventually

Tita gains 4 levels, Agate/Olivier gain 2 and Estelle gains 1. That's nice.

obviously, the thing is not really dead. That was like the first hp bar. it rampages

clearly the solution is to fight in a cutscene, not in a gameplay battle. The protagonists do that and it works. They don't kill the dragon, but destroy the thing controlling it

the dragon gameplay fight was completely pointless but the devs wanted to throw the player a bone, I suppose

the dragon decides to atone for his sin. In gold, like a good dragon

Agate decides to barter with the dragon. Lmao

Who do you think you are, Bilbo Baggins?

oh hes just making the dragon "hire" him to deliver the rest of the gold to the villages. Ok.

the dragon says Cassius once challenged him to a duel. I wish I could see that in all its sprite glory

he says more cryptic stuff and leaves, like a good npc god

we get an ominous scene where Agate, Tita, Mogran.... and Loewe, mourn at some graves. They mention Hamel, the city Joshua is apparently from. Interesting

Chapter 5: "Shen Long just gives people gold": beaten

Cool chapter. I think 3 is still my favorite in this game so far, the build up to Renne was just perfect. But this was a really cool (and bizarre) sequence.
