Unmoored World, fighting Bestiary's version of the drake on Volcanic Island, aggressive as fuck but fair, it takes very little damage unless its heart is exposed so timing and positioning are essential. The beast does not relent, it's fast, it uses its tail swipe a lot more often, it tricks you with a double slam. Gobbos and rock lizards join the fight and they don't give a shit about waiting for their turn, so they just jump at you while you're trying to strike the drake's heart, and you have to turn quickly to parry them with your shield, then switch to your mace to send them flying away with a charged attack so that your pawns can finish the job. The drake's heart is still exposed, it lifts into the air to roast you with its flames. There's no time to lose, you must jump and cling onto it or else the fight will take too long. You land a successful gutting skewer on its tail at the last moment, you climb it while it's spamming flames, and start mashing buttons right onto its heart. The winged fucker won't have any of it though, it crushes you into the ground while your sword is still stuck in its chest. You're dead, good thing you were carrying a single wakestone or it would have been game over in UW. The drake doesn't have much health left, but it goes into a rage and starts using its tail swipe while it spits fire at your entire party. Its ground smash attack now causes flames to erupt from the terrain, you must avoid them to get to its heart. One of the explosions throws you into the air, you're almost dead again, it's time to put those Allheal Elixirs to good use now because you can't heal from zero HP anymore and if you die you're fucked. Drake grabs you, one of your pawns casts silence on its hand and you're free, you swing your sword desperately while Gil spams meteoron all around you, a rock lizard's charge is interrupted by an explosion and you watch it fly while the slow-mo from the final blow to the drake kicks in.
