How to cope with a bad dragon
4 years ago
California, USA

I just lost a run which would be my first ever completed run after 4 and a half months of grinding. It would have been a 42, if the dragon had not been stupid. I placed the lava for one-cycling and went down to blow up the beds, but when the lava came down a bit the dragon flew away and kept doing the same thing every time it perched usually within 5 seconds of it perching. Is there a way to prevent this?

Three things:

  1. The dragon will fly away after about 3-4 dragon breath attacks, so you might not be going fast enough.
  2. If the dragon takes too much damage it will fly away. Make sure you're only hitting it five crits with the sword or else it will fly away.
  3. Make sure you place the lava far enough away so that it doesn't actually hit the dragon.

The only other bit of advice I can give you is to go watch some WR runs and copy what they do. Hope this helps!

This is the tutorial that I learned from. I actually requested it, and global did a great job. Make sure you follow the steps in this.

So I mean, after awhile of speedrunning, I already know these things. I went fast enough and did everything right, (I would know)but the dragon must have ben glitched i guess.

New proof rules for top level runs

Hello Runners.

We have a new rule for all platforms, for random seed runs.

After completing a Top Run (Top 5 Main Category/1st ILs), you must exit the world and go to the main menu.

For top Windows runners, you still have to do PowerShell verification.

For Ps4/Ps5, this rule
