The Iron Kingdom
Clive and Jill infiltrate the volcanic island of the Iron Kingdom during the main scenario quest "The Crystals' Curse" to shatter Drake's Breath. The party fights past fanatical Ironblood zealots and volcanic beasts as they ascend the volcanic temple complex. The mission culminates in an Eikon confrontation involving Liquid Flame, Jill's unresolved trauma with the Ironblood, and the destruction of the Mothercrystal.

Enemies
basic foot soldier armed with swords and axes that attacks in aggressive packs
heavily armored elite knight with a tower shield that must be staggered or bypassed from behind
large fiery reptilian beast that breathes fire streams and charges across the arena
main boss of Drake's Breath that shifts forms between a humanoid, a wyvern, and a beast of flame
Tips
- Use Garuda's Deadly Embrace when Liquid Flame or other large enemies reach a half-stagger state to drag them down and create an extended attack window.
- Liquid Flame frequently shifts into a wyvern shape and flies across the arena during "Eradication," requiring precision dodging rather than greed for melee hits.
- Equipping fire-resistant accessories or abilities that offer fast gap-closers like Phoenix Shift helps counter the wide-range lava hazards scattered throughout the interior chambers.
