Dragons but not really dragons

Quickstart

1. Get the Dragon Codex. You receive one when you first spawn. If you need another, craft it with gold, emeralds, and a book:

1. Use the Dragon Codex to open its menu. Choose Browse all 90 dragons, then select a dragon to summon it nearby.
2. Summon dragons in a clear area. Sky dragons appear above you, while the other dragons appear closer to ground level.
3. To tame a wild dragon, feed it golden apples or apples. One golden apple fills its temper completely; five apples do the same.
4. Interact with a tamed dragon to mount it. Each dragon has one player seat and does not require a saddle.
5. Use the Codex to build the Skyfire Aerie, a large sanctuary for your dragons. Place it in a loaded, open area.

You can also spawn dragons directly with their Dragon Spawn Eggs from the Creative inventory.

Overview

Dragons but not really dragons adds 90 massive dragons, each with a distinct name, appearance, and personality-inspired identity. The Codex groups them into four types:

• Sky dragons — flying dragons
• Land dragons — walking dragons
• Burrowing dragons — digging dragons
• Cuddle dragons — cute dragons

Wild dragons are dangerous and can attack nearby creatures. After taming, a dragon becomes non-hostile, follows its owner, and can be ridden.

What It Adds

• 90 named dragons
• A Dragon Codex for browsing and summoning dragons
• A Dragon Spawn Egg for every dragon
• Taming with apples and golden apples
• Rideable, owner-following tamed dragons
• The Skyfire Aerie sanctuary
• A Dragon Discoveries counter that tracks progress up to 90
• Saddles as possible drops when dragons are defeated by a player

How To Use

Dragon Codex

Use the Dragon Codex to open the Saints Dragons 2.0 menu. It provides these options:

• Browse all 90 dragons — view every dragon and summon a specific one
• Call a random sky dragon — summon a random Sky dragon
• Call a random burrowing dragon — summon a random Burrowing dragon
• View discoveries — check your current progress
• Build Skyfire Aerie — create the dragon sanctuary around you

The Codex shows each dragon's category and appearance summary before you summon it.

If a summoned dragon cannot find a clear landing place, move to an open area and try again.

Spawn Eggs

Every dragon has its own spawn egg in the Creative inventory. Place or use a spawn egg to summon that specific dragon.

Taming

Wild dragons can be tamed with:

• Golden apples: one fills the dragon's temper completely
• Apples: each apple increases temper by 2; five apples are enough when starting from zero

Feed the dragon until it becomes tamed. Tamed dragons stop being hostile, follow their owner, and can be mounted.

Riding

Interact with a tamed dragon to mount it. Dragons have one seat and can be controlled with the normal mounted-movement controls. Interact again or use the standard dismount control to get off.

Crafting And Obtaining

The Dragon Codex is the main way to access the dragon roster. It is automatically given to a player on their first spawn and can also be crafted:

Dragon Spawn Eggs are available in Creative mode. Dragons can also be summoned through the Codex without using an egg.

A dragon defeated by a player can drop a saddle.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Dragons are large, tough creatures with substantial health and strong attacks.
• Wild dragons are hostile and may attack players, villagers, and other nearby targets.
• Dragons can break various natural plants and soft vegetation as they move and fight.
• Tamed dragons follow their owner when they get far away.
• Tamed dragons can be ridden without equipping a saddle.
• The Skyfire Aerie provides an open nesting court and a dedicated place to gather your dragons.
• Your discovery total appears in the Codex and on-screen while playing.

Appearance Markers

The Codex summarizes each dragon with horns and wing pairs:

• Most dragons have 2 horns and 1 wing pair.
• Aurora Guardian has 3 horns.
• Flamecrest has 4 horns.
• Ancient has 5 horns.
• Cloudsong has 2 wing pairs.

Progression And Strategy

1. Start by using the Codex to summon a few different categories of dragon.
2. Tame a dragon with apples if you want to conserve golden apples, or use one golden apple for an immediate tame.
3. Build the Skyfire Aerie in a clear location and use it as a gathering place.
4. Try both specific selections and the random Sky and Burrowing dragon options.
5. Defeat dragons that you summoned to increase the Dragon Discoveries counter. The counter can advance up to 90/90.
6. Keep a saddle ready if you want to use the drops from defeated dragons, but remember that saddles are not required to ride a tamed dragon.
