Howdy! Please accept my greetings for another Puzzle Quest 3 adventure guide. I've lost count at this point of how many adventure guides I have created, but there are still more adventures in PQ3 that I have not encountered yet. This was the toughest one yet, due to the available difficulties, which will be touched on in the next section.

This adventure promises a prize for completion.. it's in the name! The Dragonking's prize awaits the brave or foolhardy champion willing to face the perils to seek it out. Let's see exactly what those perils are...

In the Dragonking's Prize adventure, you will face one of the longer adventure that PQ 3 offers. It features 7 dungeons, as well as skirmishes, so you will certainly be earning the prize at the end of this one.

The adventure lasts for 6 days, and you are given free 5 energy per day. It requires all 30 energy to complete the adventure, so if you do not die in any battle, you can complete it without spending any gems for energy. If you do die, it will cost you 100 gems to revive, plus any gems you may need to spend on health potions to restore your health after reviving.



For this bad boy you only have one difficulty, and of course, it is maximum! The first time I tried this adventure, before I started writing guides on them, I was dead within 1 or 2 battles and decided I was not at a point I could complete it. Even though I now have a stronger hero, I still ended up dying when facing Ragnar, the final dragon.

If you are not certain your hero is up to the task yet, there is no harm in giving it a try. You have 5 free energy, so give the first couple battles a try just for the experience of it. Then when you are srong enough you will have a sense of satisfaction.

Dragonking's Prize adventure features a toll gate, just like the Storm The Prison adventure does. That means you need to collect 4 legendary flux in order to reach the end. You will have to fight 4 dragons to obtain it, and it is not optional. Notice that you cannot back track to obtain the legendary flux, so you have to gather it as you go, or you will be unable to continue past the toll gate!

At least there is an in-game goal for opening 10 (I think) locked gates within adventures, so eventually this will help trigger that goal, and you'll get some gems or such.



Here is the list of opponents you will be facing on your journey to acquire the Dragonking's prize! Note: Since you cannot replay it, I could only take one of the paths this play through. I will fill in the South path next time. Beware the Fallen Draconus and Cockatrice battles as they can use reflect, sending you to an early grave!

Allow me to thank you for taking time to check out my guide. I hate to sound like some pre-teen Youtuber, but if you don't mind rating this guide so I know how I am doing, it is appreciated. Scroll back to the start of the guide and there are stars on the right top corner. Comments are also welcome as it let's me connect with like-minded folks. If I missed something, that is a great way to let me know.

My king is left holding a sword, as some adventurer stole his prized axe! The nerve of some folks. Either way, I have a slew of guides for Puzzle Quest 3 you can check out, or peruse my collection of game guides Taskmaster's Guides!. Jokes, puns, short stories and more!

Until next time friend...
