Description

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. Follow the rings again to your destination and use Surge Forward when prompted to maintain your speed. 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 DragonLevel 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. As long as you fly well, you can conserve your momentum and gain some height after a dive. Fly through the rings to the target location.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Need For Higher AltitudesLevel 10-70

    To gain height, use Skyward Ascent. Follow the rings again to your destination, using Skyward Ascent when you need upward momentum. If you find yourself stuck, use the Bronze Timepiece and Celormu will reset you.
