Understanding Your Dragons’ Powers
Before engaging in the fight, it is essential to understand the unique strengths of each dragon:
- Mio’s Red Dragon: Distinguishes itself with the ability to unleash acidic poison that can corrode metal.
- Zoe’s Blue Dragon: Capable of smashing through tough materials like pink crystals.
Gameplay Strategy: Chasing Megalith
As the chase commences, the dragons will automatically fly forward, allowing players to control their lateral movement (sideways, up, and down). During this pursuit, Megalith will break through rocky barriers, releasing a hazardous purple energy beam that players must skillfully dodge.
Overcoming Early Obstacles
- Initially, you will encounter pink crystals. Utilize Zoe’s blue dragon to break through these barriers.
- Next, look out for a metal obstacle; employ Mio’s red dragon’s acid attack to dissolve it and move forward.
Navigating Spiky Rocks
- Watch for large, spiky rocks and navigate around them cautiously.
- Following this, you’ll be faced with another pink crystal—use Zoe’s dragon to shatter it.
Dealing with Floating Obstacles
- Next, navigate through a series of floating obstacles that require quick reflexes to avoid.
- After this section, two metal barriers will appear—melting one with Mio’s poison will allow both dragons to pass.
- Another pink crystal will soon block your way; destroy it and plunge down into a water stream while continuing the chase.
Underwater Navigation
- While pursuing Megalith underwater, it will again unleash a purple energy beam you must evade.
- Swim upward to break the water’s surface and maintain the chase cadence.
Overcoming Environmental Hazards
- Continue to use your dragons’ abilities to clear metal barriers and pink crystals as you progress.
- Megalith will start attacking the environment, causing falling rocks and debris—dodge these while trying to fly low for easier navigation.
The Climactic Finale
- Megalith will dart through the mouth of an ancient dragon skull. Follow suit, as this area presents a mix of challenges including metal barriers, pink crystals, falling rocks, and lava eruptions.
- React swiftly to these obstacles, utilizing your dragons’ abilities to clear the hurdles while adeptly avoiding the environmental hazards. This sequence is action-packed and demands your full attention.
Upon successfully navigating this intense section, you will arrive at Megalith’s lair, culminating in a cinematic cutscene. This marks the conclusion of the Into the Storm mission in the Split Fiction saga.
