After weeks of being unable to do this, I finally found how to get shot of these horrible dragonriding games and move on to the proper stories.

For the first three quests (gliding, diving momentum). I got on the dragon and aimed at any ring I could see from the parapet. If I passed through it, I made the dragon jump to go upwards and tried to aim for another ring if I saw one. If I missed, I let the dragon fall to the ground. The secret I found at this point is not to give up the quest or use the timer thing, because using that sets it all to zero again. Not using the timer meant I kept the score for the rings I had managed to pass. Once the blue ovals on the screen filled up again, I made the dragon jump again and tried to get near a ring. Each time I passed through a new ring, it added to the score and it didn't matter in what order or direction I passed through nor how many times I tried. Once I had all the rings, I tried jumping up to the landing target until I managed that. Climbing some rocks to get higher before jumping helped me to reach the rings and the landing target. I'm not sure whether it matters, but I made sure I stayed inside the blue quest area marked on the minimap until I had finished the quest I was on. I needed very many attempts, but finally got through all the rings for all three of these quests.

For the final quest, ignore the guy who tries to force you to race him to the observatory. Just make your way to the bottom of the observatory in your own time by any route you want. There is a "ferry" there, which will take you to the top. Once you are at the top, the quest is marked as completed.

Description

Now what if there is an obstacle in your way? As long as you fly well, you can conserve your momentum and gain some height after a dive. When you dive this time you will find your flight path takes you below the landing area. By using your momentum you can regain lost height at the end of the course to still land in the target area. If you find yourself stuck, use the Bronze Timepiece and Celormu will reset you.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • How to Dive with Your DragonThe Waking Shores · Level 10-70

    Gliding will get you to where you want to go. But what if you want to get there faster? Diving after jumping from somewhere high will give you a speed boost. Fly through the rings to the target location. If you find yourself stuck, use the Bronze Timepiece and Celormu will reset you.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Need For Higher VelocitiesThe Waking Shores · Level 10-70

    Sometimes you'll need to travel longer distances. If you don't need to travel up and over any obstacles using Surge Forward is the easiest way to maintain a good forward speed to prevent yourself from plummeting out of the sky.
