Dragon Eggs

As you dig deeper in your dungeon, you may find dragon eggs. By placing a dragon egg in an area and feeding it the blood of heroes, it will hatch and become a Dragon (Lv.1). Dragon eggs can only be placed on the geothermally hot floors of B10 and deeper. As dragon eggs cannot attack, it will be necessary to defeat heroes with only Zombies and traps. In the later parts of the game, please design your dungeon so that heroes can make it to B10 and below, where your dragon can lie in wait for them.

Game Hints

* Removing monsters (excluding Zombies) from the area they have been placed will slowly restore their HP. * If the heroes are too strong, remove the Last-Boss and the Big Four. (Hero levels are proportional to the levels of your Last-Boss and the Big Four) * Make sure to always use your best item as the Last-Item. * Starting in the middle of the game, decide which floor will be your main combat floor and lie in wait for the heroes there. * In order that your high-level monsters don't get killed, be sure to make them flee before things go too far. Alternatively, you can set them as the Last-Boss or as one of the Big Four to prevent them from dying (Dark-Velis is required). * If the heroes are leaving your dungeon too close to the surface, try adjusting the number of Zombies and the structure of the dungeon to lower the difficulty for the heroes. * Monster attack power and defense power can be increased by setting a floor element. * Clicking "Create Gauge" at the bottom of the screen will convert 100 Velis into 50 Dark-Velis. * On the first options screen, the game's difficulty can be set to Hard. In Hard Mode, monster levels increase more easily.
