Dragon Rock
Scale the wall to the north east and you will find a ladder. Climb up the ladder avoiding the fire. Climb up the small ladder to your right and then climb down another ladder after the flames. Run down the path avoiding all the flames until you find a barrel bomb. Pick up the bomb and run it to where the switch is you passed while avoiding flames. Set the bomb down on the magnet spot and activate the switch. Quickly climb up the ladder and stand on the switch in front of the flame to turn it off. When the bomb passes you, quickly run to the second switch and turn off the other flame. When the bomb is safely dropped, pick it up and throw it at the wooded barricade to create your path.
Run up the ramp and dodge the spinning flames in the next room. Flip the switch on the wall to lower a gate that is trapping an EarthWalker. Run back outside and climb back down the ladder. Run all the way to the south side of the level to find the freed EarthWalker. Run up and talk to him. He says that there are still others to find and rescue. He says to hop on his back to continue the mission.
Get on its back and start some destruction. Whenever you see a green tile-line like wall, use the EarthWalker to smash it. First run northwest near your arwing. A little northeast of your arwing on a tree is the first shield generator. Smash the green line with the EarthWalker and then turn around. Run towards the large rock taking the whole center of the level. (Let’s call this Dragon Rock.) Scale Dragon Rock clockwise and you should find the second generator. Smash it then run all the way to the northeast of the level. The last green generator is to the right on the wall by the two dinosaurs. Smash it and then run to the southeast side of the area. On a large tree/rock you can find the last green generator. Smash it then run north of Dragon Rock. You will find a little incline where you can dismount the EarthWalker. Get off of him and then destroy the four patrolling robots in the sky with your fire blaster to open a gate.
The gate is located directly east of where the ladder is. Run inside to find a captured HighTop. Use the Staff Rocket Boost behind him to get to his level. Run around to his head and talk to him. He mentions that he cannot break the ropes that are holding him. At the end of each rope on the wall are sun tiles. Simply shoot all four to free him. He will say that he will now cross the plain. But you have you protect him from enemy fire. As you begin, keep you aim on top of Dragon Rock. You have unlimited ammo so don’t worry about that. The first few waves are very simple. But as you progress more enemies will start to come at once. Just repeatedly tap the A button as fast as you can while aiming at the swarms. Once you walk to the southeastern area you will be finished. The HighTop will open a gate for you.
You will dismount from the HighTop and will be standing in front of your next path. Set your ice blaster as your quick Y button. You must kill all the enemies to dispel a magic barrier. Once you come to face an enemy freeze it with your ice blaster. You may have to freeze it for a few seconds. Once it’s frozen, smash it with your staff. Repeat this to the other two enemies in the area to dispel the barrier. Climb up the ladder and pick up the bomb. Wait until the fire stops and then jump into the air vent, aiming to the ledge. Jump over the next air vent avoiding the flame. Do the same over the third gap. If you miss, don’t worry just try and push the bomb to the ledge. Try not to worry so much about the flames you have a lot of space.
Pick up the barrel and run across the bridge. Throw the bomb at the wooden barricade to your left. Once destroyed, run through. Drop down into the groove and activate the switch. This will cause the bird’s cage to move. When the cage is in the middle, turn the switch back off. Jump down and light the furnace with Tricky. This will cause the rope on the cage to burn and break, leaving the cage to fall. The bird ends up being Krystal’s faithful companion HighWind. He mentions that after he helped Krystal at the galleon, he was captured by Scales. Hop on his back.
You will now be flying in the air and you mission is to destroy the four towers that are shielding Dragon Rock. Once you destroy them you can enter inside and fight the boss. Start out by shooting the enemies that come from the tower. This is very easy and you should not have any problems. You may get hit a few times but you have a large life bar. When you near a tower, aim for the large red circle on it. It is possible that the tower may not be destroyed on your first go so fly around another lap to finish it. Once all four towers are destroyed, HighWind will take you to the top of Dragon Rock. There you will jump in and fight Dragon Rock boss: Drakor.
Dragon Rock Boss: Drakor
You will be on a platform moving through a lava tunnel. You will be in first person shooter mode and your objective is to shoot Drakor to his death. Drakor will send bombs while you chase him so shoot them before they get to you. He will also send blue mines that look like air; shoot these also as they will do great damage. You will come to a part where there are a continuous train of flames on the wall. There are sun tiles next to each one so shoot them to turn off the flames. The whole boss takes eye coordination so try and keep your aim on him the whole time. There’s not much strategy with this boss, just shoot him down until his health depletes. Once his health runs out, he will fall into the lava and burn to his death. You will catch the SpellStone and meet the dinosaurs outside your arwing. They will thank you and will tell you to take the SpellStone to the Ocean Force Point Temple.
