#39 Stranger of Paradise: Trials of the Dragon King - Cornelia's Hope
0The Trials of the Dragon King is the 1st of 3 DLCs of the base game. Continuing from the end of the base game, Jack (now as Chaos) started his goal of making the Warriors of Light who would then fulfill the legacy of saving Cornelia by killing him. After killing the Warriors of Light in the first cycle, Jack will notice that there is an intruder in their world who will later be of utter importance in order for his plans to bear fruit someday.
This DLC introduced new features in the game which includes the new difficulty called Bahamut which not only increases the difficulty of the game but gives all of the game’s bosses new move sets and patterns. Moreover, it added two new bosses in the game. It also introduced the Trials of the Dragon King mechanic which adds challenges/disadvantages in missions that will reward you additional Dragon Treasures which are important to advance the story and the currency needed to buy various special items and weapons in the new store called Exchange Shop. New characters upgrades were also added in the game including the new jobs Pilgrim, Evoker and Summoner as well as adding two new sub-classes in each of the classes in the game.
If you look at it, the game did not really introduced any new or worthwhile dungeons in the game so technically it is really short since it merely introduces only two new bosses and boss stages with the other missions just reusing the assets of the base game. The grinding of the dragon treasures is what just made it somewhat longer. Still, the added features and mechanics of the game are decent enough to keep you interested. Enjoy the walkthrough!!!
