Hello again, and welcome to my LP. Last time, Discord kicked my ass and make me dicide to take down dragons for training.

First, I'm going to answer a few questions in the comments last update. In this mod, Espers don't grant extra stat bonuses upon level up. They are used either for their summon, or to teach magic to the magic users. It is possible to just warp out of Discord's tower. There is also a hook lowered by the airship at the start you can use to get out. And yes, the Czar Dragon does exist in this mod. He was what Curbstomped me in the Cloudesseum when I opened that chest, remember?

On that note, Dragons. I have already killed a few, and I know the location of a few more. Let's start with that ice dragon in Neighshe. If I can kill that one after he killed me the first time I saw him I'm good to go!

I'm actually going to use the team I used for Discord. If that's the group I want to fight I best be getting them powerful. I've gone and given Derpy the cursed shield as well, to see If I can uncurse it. Faust will also be using steal, for even more Looting.

Ahh! I reached a area he was at, but he flew into be before I was ready! Derpy still has the cursed shield on!

It doesn't Matter. I can do this! Boss fight!

He has a wall up. This isn't a problem though. I can get around it.

Pinkie does high damage as per normal. Good.

Huh, he absorbs Wind. I guess I should use Comet, not W Wind with Twi even though it's weaker.

Ah, he froze Pinkie. The only cure for that is time or fire...

Or, he can just instant kill her instead. He has a OHKO for frozen people... At least I can just Res her.

Derpy died due to the shield's Condemned status. Luckily, she can still be rezzed, and the condemned status goes when she dies.

I've actually been trying to steal from him with Faust the entire fight so far. I haven't been successful yet, but I don't need her to fight here, so I'll been trying.

And he is dead! I didn't manage to steal from him, but he dropped 2 magic shields.

So, 5 dragons left. Next up, the one in the dungeon in the worm!

This time, I do get chance to prepare, so no cursed shield for Derpy!

Boss fight! This one is Basil. If you remember last time, he kicked my ass.

I managed to steal from him early on. I got a genji helmet. A very good helmet if I remember right.

He's still immune to all magic but water, which I don't have...

I do have that Debilitator on Faust... Will that remove his immunity?

He cast flare on himself to heal, as he absorbs Fire... Clever.

Ah, he's guarding now. I can't hurt him. I can still buff myself or debuff him though.

And the guard is back down. He didn't do anything threatening while it was up.

... Oh, he just Ko'ed Pinkie and Twi with one move. Faust lived somehow, and Derpy was airborne.

Sadly, giving him a weakness with the Debilitator doesn't actually work.

Yes, got him! He tried and take down my party with a final attack, but It didn't do enough damage. Derpy was airborne anyway.

He dropped a Katana. It's not as good as one we have already and only AJ can use them. The Genji helm is very nice though. Derpy can have it.

So, four dragons left. Next up, the one in Mount Pegasus. Boss fight!

This is the Storm dragon. Lighting and wind is what I have to deal with for this one.

Oh wow, the first round, he KOs Twi, and almost get everyone else too...

Nope, he kills me effortlessly. I'm not taking that!

... Second try, he kills me before I even move.

...

...

...

OK then. I have no idea what to do here. He has bolt3, this wind move which does a ton of damage and inflicts slow, and a move called rampage, which lets him attack many times before I can do anything. He probably has more, but that's all he needs to kill me.

Hmm, Looking at my item list, I have a plan! I have two types of shields which may be able to deal with this. Thunder shields, which absorb thunder and take no damage from wind, and though magic shields, which only take 50% damage from them, and have high Magic defence and block. No idea what I do about the Rampage though.

It works! Sort of. The magic shields are not as effective as I would have liked, but the thunder shields are perfect. The rampage is still dangerous though.

I just scanned him, and I've noticed he has little MP (Also over 65000HP). Hmm, will running out cause him to spam rampage, or will he not realise and try and cast moves he doesn't have the MP for?

Hmm, the storm dragon created a wind wall. What does it do?

I died again... That rampage is too powerful.... What if I move everyone to the back row to take less damage?

Well, let's try draining his MP. Let's see what that does.

Ah, Wind wall creates a wall on him...

I drained his MP, and as I Thought, he still tries and cast the spells, but can't due to lack of MP. He still has Rampage though. He still kills me with it. Sigh...

Well, I'm out of ideas. I also don't know the locations of any of the other dragons, bar that one in Discord's tower, so I can't go and get more. (I'm not up to raiding that tower for one dragon yet)

I'm done with dragons for today. I may grind some more, but again I will not post that unless something interesting happens.

Until next time! ^_^

For the Storm Dragon, all I can suggest is to keep at least half the party on healing duty at all times. It would be a lengthy battle, but if it's also a victorious one, it'll be worth it. The Red Dragon is in Phoenix Cave (where you found Apple Bloom), the White Dragon is in the Cultist's Tower, and the Blue Dragon is in the Ancient Castle you got to by moving Figaro Castle (and is right next to where you can swap Odin for Raiden and get an otherwise-inaccessible spell). Best of luck!

And to finish the list, copied and pasted straight from the changes.txt file in the archive, "The Czar Dragon is now ready to fight in the Cloudesseum".
