Caldera Drake
Mini-bossThe old stories say that if a drake lives a thousand years, it grows into a dragon. Read the tale
Field notes
A young cousin of the dragons, nesting in the craters. Old stories say the drakes grow into dragons if they live a thousand years.
Where it lives
Ember Wastes, in Ashland, Caldera. Seen from level 15. Its level depends on where you meet it: at home, how far from the village you are; on the other lands, that land's band, lowest near the harbour side. It is stronger at night. Stronger ones are called Murky Caldera Drake (level 15+), Deep Caldera Drake (level 40+), Elder Caldera Drake (level 80+).
How to calm it
Weak to (takes more): Ice +50%
Tough against (takes less): Fire −90%
Its attack: the leap. It is slow to wind up (wind-up 1 s, then 2.8 s before the next).
Caldera Drakes are weak to ice but shrug off fire. They're slow to wind up their leap: step out of the ring that shows where they'll land.
