Chapter 1: Night of the Funeral
Part 6: With a Tragedy
Last we left off, we were on a race against time to stop Claus from getting killed by a Drago. Let's continue the chase!
As Alec informs us, the quickest way to Drago Plateau is through this cave. However...
It's kind of dark.
ALEC
I've been through here many a time. Just leave it to me.
But more importantly, that super-serious look on your face will only bring us trouble. You gotta relax! Understand?
Alec gives us constant directions through the darkness. It's a neat gimmick, of sorts.
Dammit, Alec.
In spite of Alec's assistance, we somehow manage to make it through the cave.
These guys again!
They don't seem too intent on sticking around, as usual. They leave, allowing me to take advantage of their Instant Revitalizing Device.
Once again, they flee in one of their spaceships.
A bit farther down the trail, we encounter something of note:
The thing the baby Drago was playing with is a shoe.
ALEC
This belongs to Claus! And that was a baby Drago just now. Claus MUST be around here somewhere!
This is a good time to go into the combat mechanics a bit.
In this battle, Flint took 180 damage in one hit -- more than he has maximum health. However, damage isn't dealt instantaneously. Your HP counter slowly rolls down until it reaches the correct number. Furthermore...
If the battle ends before it can get low enough, then you'll be saved.
Up ahead is Drago Territory...

All right, this is the big boss battle of Chapter 1. And it's hard.
Step 1: Raise Defense and Offense, so that I can have a chance of surviving.
Step 2: Apply Drago Fang to Drago.
This doesn't actually do any damage, but now we're capable of hurting it.
We've picked up a couple battle items along the way, so this is the time to use them.
Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow
We win!
