> > > I can't seem to figure out how to defeat the drake in FQ2. I have the sword, and I have tried fighting the drake for a long time. I even mapped out all (I think) of the possible "paths" through the fight! I have also searched through the hints board, and found nothing helpful. Everyone seems to defeat the drake easily as soon as they have the sword. As far as I can tell, one of the following is true:

I don't think this is the case, but here's my inventory: Onions, Crown, Cross, Pliers, Sack, Float Ring, Roc Feather, Iron Support, Small Silver Coin, Sap Tap, Coconut, Sword, Silver Key, Bucket of Sea Water, Blue Ball, and Sunstone.

> Yes, and no. Try all the moves again and read the screen to see if it tells you that you've scored a hit on a certain part of the dragon's body. Then try and score a hit on the other side of the body, and then you've weakened him enough, to try something else. If you know which part of the body I'm talking about think how you can force the drake to use that part of the body by doing something that would normally be suicidal.

***And as an addendum: Don't forget to use the middle column of choices, not just the attacks in the right column. That's the key.
