Deferred Advance

Walkthrough

1. 1Summon Blackstar using D-Pad Up and mount the dragon
2. 2Fly toward the leftmost cannon (easiest target) near the mountain base
3. 3Target yellow-glowing turret sections with fire breath (R1)
4. 4Eliminate blimps firing homing missiles first — they cause sustained damage
5. 5Fly low beneath the mountain to avoid tracking projectiles from the right cannon
6. 6Land on the ground between attacks to fully recharge stamina
7. 7You deal faster damage with stamina — brief exposure beats depleted stamina
8. 8Destroy cannons in order: blimps → right → middle → left
9. 9Middle cannon requires landing below for stamina recharge between phases
10. 10Right cannon is the hardest — precise angle positioning avoids shots entirely
11. 11Return to any remaining cannons until all three are destroyed

Tips

• Build Abyssal Fusion (Dragon Armor) before starting for better defense
• Purple stamina bar depletes if you can't sustain attacks — land to recharge
• Cannot heal or dismount — avoid damage entirely when possible
• Failure occurs around 5% dragon health remaining
• Blimps cause more cumulative damage than single cannon shots
• Right cannon requires careful positioning — its projectiles track longer
• Restart forcibly if dragon health reaches critical — you cannot continue below 5%
