The game blends exploration across five biomes with a base‑building system that grows as loot accumulates.

Story and Characters
Erik and his sister Mia live on a Viking longship, dreaming of worldwide treasure hunts. One night they meet otherworldly beings Porcus and Purrsula, who transport them to Draconia, a land of monsters and hidden riches. Their adventure begins as they seek the legendary Dragonstones.
The narrative follows their transition from ship‑bound dreamers to active treasure hunters, emphasizing the bond between the siblings and their growing gang. Their journey is driven by the desire to explore Draconia’s floating islands and collect as much loot as possible.
- Focus on early story moments to understand each sibling’s motivation.
- Pay attention to encounters with Porcus and Purrsula for clues about Draconia’s secrets.

Exploration and Biomes
Draconia consists of six floating islands created from the bodies of two Golden Dragons. Players can scout five distinct biomes, including volcanic mountains, bone‑dry deserts, and frozen wastelands. Each island hosts a variety of monsters and hidden treasure.
The terrain influences how you navigate; some areas require aerial or subterranean movement, which is facilitated by monster Fortes. Exploring each biome thoroughly yields the most valuable loot.
- Map each island’s terrain before hunting to plan monster recruitment.
- Use monsters with aerial Fortes for volcanic peaks.

Monster Recruitment
Using the Dragon Daggers, Erik and Mia can recruit monsters encountered in the field. Each monster possesses a special ability called a "Forte" that lets it soar, dive, or otherwise bypass obstacles, aiding treasure collection.
Recruited monsters join the gang and contribute their Fortes during hunts, allowing players to reach otherwise inaccessible loot and solve environmental puzzles.
- Prioritize monsters with Fortes that match the current biome’s challenges.
- Balance your gang with both aerial and ground‑based Fortes for flexibility.
04 / THE GUIDE
Base and Gang Rank
Erik and Mia establish a base of operations where all acquired loot is stored. The total value of the treasure vault determines the gang’s rank. Reaching higher ranks unlocks new treasure‑hunting abilities and allows upgrades to the base’s amenities.
The base serves as a hub for managing loot, tracking rank progress, and preparing for future raids against rival gangs.
- Focus on accumulating high‑value loot early to trigger rank upgrades.
- Upgrade base amenities after each rank increase for maximum benefit.
05 / THE GUIDE
Rival Gangs and Raid Mechanics
Other treasure‑hunting crews, known as Rival Gangs, compete for the same loot. They may attack you in the field or launch raids on your base, threatening your accumulated treasure.
Defending against rival attacks and planning counter‑raids are part of the strategic layer, encouraging players to strengthen their gang and base defenses.
- Maintain a balanced gang to repel field attacks effectively.
- Invest in base upgrades that improve defensive capabilities before rival raids.
