Dragon lair slaughter and egg question!
« on: November 04, 2012, 06:46:29 pm »

So my second encounter with a dragon, ever, in adventure mode, went much better than my first.  First time around, the dragon lit me on fire and I died without even having a chance to do anything.

This time around, I had powered up my character for a while, acquired some buddies, and snuck in as my stupid companions just charged in.  They were all dead in short order, but they had managed to injure all three of the resident dragons.  I slowly enticed them to come near the lair's entrance and brained them when they peeped their head up.  I'm guessing dragonfire only works on one Z level because they never even got a chance to breathe on me.

Anyway, among the loot was a a worn crown and an earring, and a bunch of coins from around the world.  Those dragons get around!  Also, I found four dragon eggs.  Can I keep them in my pack and expect them to hatch eventually?  Or are they just food items / missile weapons?  It'd be neat to have a pet dragon in adventure mode.

Unfortunately, you can't do anything with eggs (dragon or otherwise) at the moment in Adventure mode besides simply collecting them. You can't even eat them:


Also just FYI, you can block dragonfire if you have a shield. But it's much more Fun to go without.

But in dwarf mode you can mod eggs to actually hatch. Don't ask me how to do it just look online.

Oh geez, the idea of having Dragon pets in Adventure Mode is just awesome. You could see it grow and it could maybe accidentally burn you to death.

Hoping to get that feature in.

That would indeed be one awesome feature.
