Dragon Hunt
Pyrokar sends the hero to the Valley of Mines to slay the four dragons that have taken up residence there. The quest begins after the Eye of Innos has been repaired. Before heading out, it is highly recommended to bring at least 3 Laboratory Water Flasks to recharge the Eye of Innos after each dragon kill. Learning the skills Take Dragon Scales and Tap Dragon Blood from Gestath is also worthwhile, especially for Dragon Hunters or anyone looking to earn a lot of gold. The four dragons are the Swamp Dragon in the Swamp, the Stone Dragon at the Mountain Fortress, the Fire Dragon at the Volcano, and the Ice Dragon in the Ice Waste. Note: The dragons' health regeneration is tied to the game's framerate due to a known engine bug. On modern hardware with high FPS, dragons can regenerate faster than you can damage them. Cap your framerate to 30 FPS (via SystemPack.ini) or install the Dragon Patch from the Steam Workshop to fix this.
Rewards
2000 XP + 1200 gold (500 XP and 300 gold per dragon from Garond) + dragon loot (hearts, blood, scales)
Walkthrough
**Swamp Dragon:** Travel west to the Swamp. On the way you can recruit Rod and Cipher from their camp as backup. Equip the Eye of Innos before approaching the dragon. You must wear it to be able to speak to him. After the conversation, the fight begins and the dragon becomes vulnerable. Defeat him and loot everything you can. Teleport back to the Castle and recharge the Eye of Innos at the alchemy table using a Laboratory Water Flask and a dragon heart.
**Stone Dragon:** Head to the Mountain Fortress. You can get help from Gorn, who can be found at Gestath's camp. Fight through lizardmen, stone golems, and harpies on the plateau. Equip the Eye of Innos, speak to the dragon, defeat him, loot, and teleport back to recharge.
**Fire Dragon:** Oric reports that a volcano has formed near the castle. Climb the Volcano and find the Fire Dragon at the top. His hoard is on a higher ledge reachable by climbing. Equip the Eye of Innos, speak, fight, loot, recharge.
**Ice Dragon:** The final dragon resides deep in the Ice Waste in the west, the frozen remains of the old New Camp. The Ice Dragon is the most powerful of the four. Equip the Eye of Innos and speak to him. He reveals the location of their master on Irdorath. Defeat him and loot his hoard.
After slaying all four dragons, return to Garond at the Castle. He rewards you with 500 XP and 300 gold for each dragon (2000 XP and 1200 gold total). Leave the Valley of Mines and report to Pyrokar that the dragons are dead.
