TTHHEE LLEEGGEENNDD OOFF TTHHEE SSPPIIRRIITT DDRRAAGGOONNSS
600 years ago, during the Golden Age in the World of Drakan, humans and
dragons were allies and the world flourished. The symbol of this alliance
was the Order of the Flame. Within the Order, honored human knights and
dragons of the Elder Breed joined their souls in a pact called the Bond.
Dragon and rider soared over every realm of Drakan insuring the peace and
helping those in need. While under the guardianship of the Order, the world
knew prosperity and harmony.
But there are those who watch a peaceful day and see nothing to savor. An
evil fire burns in their souls that can never be extinguished. These want only
power over others. Traitors, some even within the Order of the Flame, made
a grab for power and the
Golden Age disintegrated
into warfare. When the
blood dried on the last
battlefield, there were no
victors. No bonded pairs
of human and dragon
remained. The dragons
retreated into deep sleep
and Drakan began its
centuries long decay.
To this day, Drakan suffers from that war so long ago. Lawlessness rules as
roving bandits attack the few pockets of civilized society left in Drakan.
Predatory monsters roam the land and feral dragons terrorize the skies.
All this misery is fomented by a tribe of sorcerers, named the Desert Lords,
who thrive on chaos and now threaten to enslave all of Drakan.
The warrior Rynn grew up amid this evil. Through a twist of fate, she
revived a sleeping dragon named Arokh. He was a fierce and noble dragon
of the Elder Breed, who had not stirred in six centuries. Arokh fought in the
Dark Wars, and with his rider, had struck the final blow against Navaros,
the leader of those who betrayed peace on Drakan. Arokh and Rynn bonded
and, souls entwined, she became a Knight of the Order.

Of the great towns that were once plentiful in Drakan, only the castle fortress
of Surdana survives. Within Surdana lies one of the Rune Gates that once
served as a portal to cities around the world. Trapped within the Rune Gates
are the Spirit Dragons, immortal defenders of the ancient empire. If the
Spirit Dragons can be freed, the Desert Lords can be defeated and civilization
will be restored. But freeing the Spirit Dragons will be no easy task. The
Desert Lords will focus their evil on anyone attempting to save the legendary
dragons. And evil monsters, bandits and mercenaries will attempt to take
Rynn and Arokh’s gold, and even their life. But heroism and the strength of
these two warriors are strong. As Rynn and Arokh unite to save the Spirit
Dragons, the battle for the future of humanity roars.

In large open spaces, Rynn and Arokh travel together. The mighty dragon
must have room to fly, land or walk. Where space is tight, Rynn must dismount
and leave Arokh in a clear landing area. Arokh will attempt to protect Rynn
in dangerous situations as long as he has room to attack from overhead.
During some missions, Rynn must travel completely alone to places that are
too confined for Arokh.
IInnjjuurryy
Both Rynn and Arokh can be injured in battle and since their souls are bonded,
damage to one is dealt to both. Rynn can injure herself by falling too great a
distance. Rynn can also drown in deep water. Each time Rynn or Arokh is
injured, the Health Glass loses some blood. Restore health by using a Health
Elixir or Potion of Life. If all the blood in the Health Glass disappears, Arokh
and Rynn die and the game is over.

Mana is the force that powers Rynn’s spells and power is what delivers Arokh’s
fire. Arokh can replenish his power from within. But Rynn must find and
drink mana in order to recover it. As mana or power is used up, it drains
the Mana/Power glass.
Tip: To replenish Arokh’s power, stop attacking for a few moments.
• Find Half Mana or Full Mana to restore Rynn’s mana.
• When Rynn is equipped with the bow or magical weapon, a number appears
in the Mana/Power Glass showing how many arrows or charges remain.
• Later in the quest, Rynn can increase her magical skill, which will restore her
mana slowly over time. This rate will increase as her magic skill level increases.

durability remaining. The number on the right is the maximum durability
of the weapon. If the weapon wears out, it becomes unusable and must be
repaired. Armor cannot be repaired once it has worn out. While using a bow
and arrow, this rating tells the number of arrows remaining.

Lightweight weapons are easy to handle and fast. Heavier weapons are
harder to swing and take more time to deliver multiple blows, but usually
do more damage.

AArrmmoorr
Armor increases Rynn’s resistance to attack.
She begins the quest without armor. Be sure
to save some gold to purchase armor. There
are several different types of armor, each
with varying levels of protection, called its
“Armor Rating.” Equip armor on the
Weapons/Items screen by selecting it and
pressing the √ button.
SS hh iiee llddss
Shields can be equipped along with
one-handed melee weapons to use during
combat. The advantage of a shield over a
parry block is that the shield can be held
up in defense as long as necessary. However,
shields do not absorb as much damage. Equip a shield in the Weapons/Items
screen by selecting it and pressing the √ button.
EEnncc hh aanntteedd WWeeaappoonnss
Some weapons are charged with magical abilities that can be used to exact
additional damage on Rynn’s enemies. When an enchanted weapon is equipped,
the number of charges will appear in the Mana/Power Glass. To execute this
magical ability, press the Ω button. Once the number of charges is depleted,
the magical ability is lost forever.
Note: If Rynn is equipped with a shield, the Ω button will always block with
the shield instead of activating an enchanted weapon’s magic. Deactivate all
shields to allow Rynn to use a weapon’s magical ability.
SS PPEELLLL CCAASSTTIINNGG
A Dragon Knight practices the deadly art of spell casting. Rynn can set her
enemies afire, freeze them mid-stride or frighten them into retreat without
drawing her sword. As with weapons, Rynn must attain specific skill levels
before she can use or purchase certain magical spells.
To cast a spell, Rynn must have it stored in her Spell screen in the Items Menu.
22 44
Combust [≤, ∫, ñ, ≤] (Offensive) — The power of Rynn’s mind causes
enemies to spontaneously catch fire. Higher power levels inflict more
damage and burn longer.
Lightning [µ, ∫, ñ, ≤] (Offensive) — Hurl a bolt of lightning, which can
conduct through multiple enemies. Higher power levels inflict more
damage and can conduct through a greater number of enemies at once.
Ice Blast [µ, ∫, ñ, µ] (Offensive) — Rynn delivers a searing frost that
freezes an enemy. Higher power levels inflict more damage and will be
more likely to freeze enemies.
Fireball [µ, ∫, ≤, ñ, µ] (Offensive) — Rynn hurls a fireball as devastating
as Arokh’s. Higher power levels inflict more damage and have a greater
blast radius.
Soul Steal [∫, µ, ≤, ñ] (All advantage) — The victim’s soul is ripped
from his body and he perishes without a scratch. The soul will return to
Rynn increasing her health. Higher power levels inflict more damage
and give more health back to Rynn.
AARROOKKHH IINN FFLLIIGGHHTT
Press the ç button and Arokh will jump into the air or increase in altitude.
• Press the Directional button
or left analog stick UP to fly
Arokh forward.
• Press the Directional button or

Arokh backward.
• Press the ≈ button to decrease
in altitude.
• If a target is locked onto (R2 button), Arokh will turn sharply to face the
direction of the target. Release the target lock (R2 button) if you want to
fly to another area.
22 33
SS ppeellllss aanndd MMaannaa
Mana is the force that powers a spell. Each time Rynn casts a spell, her Mana
is reduced. When mana is depleted, Rynn can no longer cast a spell. Watch
the Mana/Power Glass to monitor remaining mana. Find Full Mana and Half
Mana potions to rejuvenate the Mana/Power Glass. Mana can be purchased
from merchants or discovered in wooden crates, treasure chests and barrels.
Mana will also recharge slowly. The higher Rynn’s magic skill, the faster her
mana will recharge.
TThhee SSppee llllss
To cast the spells below, they must be held on the Spell screen in the Items Menu.
Each spell has up to three power levels, each with increasing amounts of damage
or duration. Press and hold the Ω button. Then press the Directional buttons
to summon the spell you want Rynn to use. For offensive spells, when Rynn is
armed with the spell, press the √ button to use the spell. Defensive spells will
be used immediately upon summoning.
Note: The Directional button sequence follows the name of each spell.
Fear [ñ, µ, ≤, ∫] (Defensive) — This spell causes enemies to run away or
cower in terror as Rynn approaches them. Higher power levels make the
spell last longer.
Clone [≤, ñ, µ, ∫, ≤] (Defensive) — Rynn’s clone will distract the
enemy allowing her to slip by unnoticed and stealthily kill enemies.
Higher power levels make the spell last longer.
Time Slow [≤, ñ, ∫] (All advantage) — Slows down the speed of an
enemy’s movement and attacks. This spell lasts between 20 and 60
seconds depending on power level.
Rejuvenate [∫, ñ, ∫, ñ] (Defensive) — Raises Rynn’s Health level fully.
Higher power levels restore more of Rynn’s health with each cast of
this spell.
Impale [µ, ñ, ∫, ≤] (Offensive) — A
spear appears in Rynn’s hand. When
she plunges it downward, an enemy
becomes impaled by a magical blade
even though he stands at a distance
from Rynn and the spear. Higher power levels inflict more damage.
22 66
TTaarrggeett LLoocckkiinngg
Press the R2 button to lock onto an enemy.
When the enemy falls, the lock will drop
away or jump to the next closest target.
Target locking is less effective with airborne
adversaries who can change position rapidly.
Pressing the L2 button when locking onto a
group of enemies will cycle the target lock
to the next nearest enemy.
• The target lock is yellow when tracking a strong or undamaged enemy. When
you have damaged an adversary, the lock turns white for a moment. When it
turns red, the enemy is close to destruction.
Note: A blue target lock indicates that the target is not vulnerable to attack at
the moment. Damage may be inflicted on it at a later time or by some means
other than standard weapons.
• Once Rynn or Arokh have targeted an enemy, they will always face the target.
In addition, the normal “Turn” function of the left analog stick (LEFT/RIGHT)
becomes a side-to-side, circling movement around the target. Press the
R2 button again to untarget and move normally.
DDee ffeennddiinngg RRyynnnn
When Rynn is on the ground, Arokh will sometimes take a defensive position
above her. If anything attempts to attack her, Arokh will want to lay down
defensive fire on nearby enemies. Move Rynn out of the way to allow Arokh
to do his work. Fortunately Rynn is immune to damage from Arokh’s attacks.
CCaalllliinngg aanndd MM oouunnttii nn gg AArroo kkhh
When Rynn is on the ground and wishes to mount Arokh, she must first call
him to land. Press and hold the L1 button for at least two seconds until Rynn
calls out for Arokh. She may not be able to call him from within caves or houses.
Once Arokh lands, walk near his head and Rynn will automatically mount
him. Press the ≈ button to dismount again if Arokh is on the ground. Press
the ç button to take to the air once Rynn has mounted Arokh. Arokh may
not be able to take off if there is a low ceiling above him.
22 55
HHoo vveerr ii nn gg aanndd CCiirrcclliinngg
Hover by not pressing the Directional

or left analog stick LEFT or RIGHT will
cause Arokh to circle the target.
LLaannddiinngg aanndd WWaallkkiinngg
Press and hold the ≈ button to land Arokh. He must have a landing area
large enough to accommodate his wingspan. Once Arokh has landed, press
the Directional buttons or left analog stick to walk Arokh over the ground.
AARROOKKHH IINN BBAATTTTLLEE
Arokh’s primary attack is his fiery breath. By finding and flying into Dragon
Icons throughout Drakan, you can add to his attacks.
Each attack can be delivered in
two different ways:
• Press the √ button and Arokh
fires a standard attack. Use
Target Locking (R2 button) to
increase the accuracy of long
range attacks.
• Press the Ω button to fire a
secondary attack. Secondary attacks require more mana but inflict more
damage and affect a larger radius.
AArroo kkhh’’ ss PPooww ee rr
When Arokh attacks, he depletes his power. Similar to Rynn’s mana, Arokh
recharges his power, but it takes less time. When the Mana/Power Glass empties,
stop attacking to allow power to return to the glass.

Search for objects during your travels. Pick them up by walking over them.
• Some objects, such as weapons or items, will sparkle to attract your attention.
Others may appear when Rynn defeats an enemy.
• Strongboxes and treasure chests will open when Rynn approaches them
and may spill their contents. Some strongboxes are empty.
• Many important things are contained in barrels and wooden crates that
must be broken open to reveal what’s inside. Beware…some containers
may be explosive!
• Some barrels and crates with metal reinforcing cannot be broken.
• Items you pick up appear on the Weapons/Items Menu and must be
equipped for use.
• Items that serve a single purpose may be used automatically when the

AArrookkhh’’ss BBrreeaatthh AAttttaacc kkss
Any one of Arokh’s attacks has a primary (√ button) and secondary (Ω button)
capability. Arokh begins armed only with Fire. He can win additional attacks
in the form of bright flares that hover in the position where an enemy fell.
Just fly into them and they become part of Arokh’s arsenal. Some of the flares
may give Arokh health instead of a new attack. Press the L1 button to change
Arokh’s attack.
Fire — The primary attack is a fireball. As a secondary attack, Arokh breathes
the legendary blast of flame.
Lightning — Arokh lets off a powerful bolt of lightning that can conduct
through multiple objects and enemies at one time. His secondary
lightning attack is a ball of lightning that flies through the air and
zaps electricity at anything nearby.
Ice — Deliver a shattering freeze with the primary attack that causes enemies
to crystallize and explode when their health is low. With the secondary
attack, shoot out a winter storm to freeze nearby enemies.
Sonic — Launch pulverizing sound waves that can tear an enemy to pieces.
The primary attack releases sonic bursts. The secondary attack results
in a bomb-like explosion.
Darkness — Release hungry souls that seek out enemies, rip their life force
from them and return it to Arokh, increasing your health. The secondary
attack opens up a vortex to hell that sucks in all surrounding life.
AArrookkhh’’ss BBiittee AAttttaacc kk
When Arokh is on the ground, he can bite nearby enemies to inflict heavy
damage. To perform a bite attack, press the Directional button UP and press
the √ button. This will rip apart a foe with Arokh’s sharp teeth and claws.

the Store Menu appears. Press the R1 or L1 buttons to switch from your
personal inventory (Weapons and Magic you already have) to the Store
screen that displays the merchant’s offerings. Merchants usually specialize
in only one type of product: armor and weapons, potions, or spells.

Consider the amount of gold you have and Rynn’s skill level to guide your
purchases. Press the Directional button LEFT/RIGHT to scroll through the
