2 Dragon Riding
Probably one of the most exciting things about the How to Train Your Dragon DLC is the fact that it not only includes many of the iconic dragons from the series but that players will also be given the opportunity to ride said dragons.
Dragons will be littered throughout the world, and just like with many other Minecraft creatures, players who find them can tame them. Like horses, players can then ride their tamed dragons throughout the game world. Most areas of the map can be reached on foot or by dragon flight, but most fans of the series probably would choose the latter.
Part of the joy of Minecraft is the ability for players to craft their own adventure. But for those who are maybe seeking a little bit more of a clear objective in their games, the How to Train Your Dragon DLC has them covered. Players can take on quests littered throughout the world, often teaming with characters from the movies such as Hiccup or Astrid.
Quests can be a simple as learning how to train every kind of dragon or as complex as finding and releasing captured dragons from around the world. Some quests can even involve dragon racing competitions, not unlike the opening of How to Train Your Dragon 2.
How to Explore the Barbaric Archipelago
“This… is Berk. It snows nine months of the year and hails the other three. Any food that grows here is tough and tasteless. The people that grow here are even more so. The only upsides are the pets. While other places have…ponies or parrots, we have… dragons!”
– Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III
The steadfast town of Berk acts as a central hub for your adventures. Here you can meet the riders, play minigames and start your quests! But first, you’ll need to get your dragon flying license by passing Hiccup’s specially designed course at Berk’s Dragon Academy. Back in the day it was used to teach Vikings how to fight dragons, but thanks to Hiccup and Toothless, dragons and Berkians live in harmony.
Hiccup has also tasked you with exploring the entire barbaric archipelago and helping him complete his map! Really, it’s just an excuse to tame a dragon, take to the skies and tour the picturesque places you’ll find around this meticulously crafted Minecraft world. We drew inspiration from both the movie trilogy and the television series, so you’ll find your favourite locations all over. And if you’re not familiar with the franchise, exploring it with your new dragon companions is a great way to discover the world of How to Train Your Dragon.
I won’t spoil any of the secrets the world has to offer, you’ll have to get out there and find them yourself. But now I’m sure you’re thinking “But Mysterious-and-probably-incredibly-cool Blog Person? How do I train my dragon?” Wow, that’s a pretty good question, maybe we should have an entire section about it–
