Previously, the party defeated the Silver Dragon in the third Dragovian Trial. Davilas chose the Dragovian Shield as his prize. Now, they will undertake the next Dragovian Trial.

The party resumes in the Dragovian Sanctuary. The protagonist, Morrie, Red, and Jessica go in the lineup.

When they are ready, the party heads off to the Heavenly Dais (time 3:31). As before, they make their way straight to the Dragovian Lord's lair without engaging enemies.

When they arrive, the party speaks to the Lord of the Dragovians in his lair (time 6:39). When they say yes to another Dragovian Trial, he heals them up. As usual, the party must defeat the Lord of the Dragovians in his humanoid form.

Next, the Lord of the Dragovians transforms to his fourth dragon form, the Golden Dragon (time 9:32). They are starting to get dangerous. The Golden Dragon can act three times in a round, especially when psyching up. Its bite and critical attacks are stronger than ever. It can cast Kaboom and Kasizzle. It can blind the party with Gigaflash. Its Divine Intervention (a "strange glow") can lower the entire party's magic resistance. It is also fairly fast.

The Golden Dragon's tension is its main threat. If it psyches up enough, its attack can instantly kill an ally with a single attack. Morrie's Rake 'n' Break can be useful for getting rid of the Golden Dragon's tension. Disruptive Wave is not a problem, so you can buff as much as you want. Be sure to stay healed.

The party defeats the Golden Dragon (time 15:13). Davilas reaches Level 62. He obtains 2 skill points. He puts them into Courage for a total of 100. At 100 points in Courage, he becomes Truly Valiant. He learns the spell Kazap and the ability Gigagash. To learn Gigagash, he must max Swords and Courage. The Golden Dragon drops another Seed of Skill.

A scene takes place after the battle (time 16:08). For the next prize, the party chooses the Dragovian Helm, the last Dragovian equipment piece available. His Dragovian Lordship transports the party back to the Sanctuary.

The party arrives in the Dragovian Sanctuary (time 17:41). Davilas puts on the Dragovian Helm and passes the Metal King Helm on to Morrie. Now that Davilas has a full set of Dragovian gear, he has an awesome costume change.

Red uses the Seed of Skill to obtain 5 skill points (time 19:20). She puts them into Fans for a total of 91.

The party takes off with the Godbird's Soulstone (time 19:52).

They land on Howlwind Hill (time 20:14). They resume the hunt for Liquid Metal and Metal King Slimes.

Yangus reaches Level 64 (time 23:34). He obtains 1 skill point. He puts it into Humanity for a total of 90.

Red reaches Level 62 (time 26:12). She obtains 2 skill points. She puts them into Fans for a total of 93. Angelo reaches Level 62. He obtains 2 skill points. He puts them into Fisticuffs for a total of 50.

Davilas reaches Level 63 (time 28:32). He obtains 2 skill points. He puts them into Spears for a total of 79. Jessica reaches Level 60. She obtains 2 skill points. She puts them into Sex Appeal for a total of 42. Morrie reaches Level 63. He obtains 2 skill points. He puts them into Passion for a total of 93.

The party Zooms back to the Dragovian Sanctuary (time 30:07). After setting up for the next Trial, they save.

Next time, the party will work on the fifth Dragovian Trial.

Thanks for watching!
