A Grimm Knight 101: Dragons

Hey there Brave Knights!

Bouncing by with some help with A Grimm Knight in Quahog Event. With Phase 2 now live in our games, I wanted to focus on all the options I am now seeing for the Dragon Battles.

White Dragon Blue Dragon

In this post I will be going over some of the Basic Information from what I am seeing in my game and hopefully help you get some Clarification on the Dragon Battles too.

For more information on the Main Event, go to the Event Page HERE.

 


WHEN DO I START SEEING DRAGONS?

I started seeing Dragons right around Pt. 2 in the Week 1 Main Questline. It does not really matter when they show up, I would suggest using the downtime to stockpile a good amount of Potions first before trying to take one down.

 


WHAT DO I USE TO BATTLE THEM?

Fireball Potion Earth Potion Lightning Potion

Potions. Potions. Potions

 


WHERE DO I GET POTIONS? 

Most of the New Event Characters have 3 separate Tasks (one for each kind of Potion) that are now an Always drop. All of the Tasks are 4hrs each.

Potion Earning Characters:

Sir Peter   Sir Peter: Talk Like Frasier (Earth) OR Be A Knight Rider (Fire) OR Lance Everything (Lightning)

WestleyWestley: Die (Earth) OR Enjoy a Swanson Dinner (Fire) OR Ruin Romance for Other Men (Lightning)

Black KnightBlack Knight: Practice Sword Fighting (Lightning) OR Worry About R.O.U.S. (Earth) OR Shop for a Round Table (Fire)

Chris the Giant Crush ItChris the Giant: Eat Magic Beans (Fire) OR Bake Bonemeal Bread (Lightning) OR Step on Englishmen (Earth)

 

You can also splurge if you want and buy the Potions from the Shopping Cart Menu for Clams. They are cheaper to buy this way then to speed up a 4hr Task, as the Task only will give you 1 and costs 10 Clams each time. So if you don’t mind the splurge, they could be worth it to you… but are Optional so your choice if you want to get them or not this way.

Clam Purchased Potions

Fireball PotionFireball Potion (3): 18 Clam IconClams

Earth PotionEarth Potion (3): 18 Clam IconClams

Lightning PotionLightning Potion (3): 18 Clam IconClams

 


HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO BATTLE THEM?

Dragon Timer

The ONLY time you need to worry about is the overall timer on the Dragons. You have 24hrs TOTAL to defeat any Dragon to the Highest Level possible you can. (Right now that is 5x Level.) Just watch the timer above the Castle. It also shows in the Pop Up Screen for the Dragon Battles.

Keep collecting and using Potions until you either take them all the way up to 5x Level and they go away, or until your timer runs out.

 


WHAT KIND OF DRAGONS WILL I SEE? 

This varies. I am seeing reports of Players seeing only one kind of Dragon over and over. That is OK, that may happen. Perfectly Normal. In my game, it rotates between White & Blue.

This is the best way to look at the Dragons:

White DragonWhite Dragon– Common

Blue DragonBlue Dragon– Uncommon/Rare

Black Dragon– Extra Rare (I have not seen one yet and I have Battled close to 15 already)

You can see, with White being the most Common, it wouldn’t be odd at all to have them appear over n over. Just keep taking them down and eventually more will cycle around.

 


WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN THE BLUE, WHITE, & BLACK DRAGONS?

From what I see in my game and my results, the more Rare Dragons take MORE Potions to take down. However, they also pay out MORE Materials too.

 


HOW DO I BATTLE A DRAGON?

White Dragon

When you see a Dragon over at the Castle in the Event Area, tap on the Timer or Dragon to open up the information screen. It will tell you how many Potions you currently “OWNED”, how many Potions you will “NEED” and what kind for the current Attack, the “REWARD” of payouts you can get, the current Level (1X-5X) you are on for the Dragon, and the amount of “TIME LEFT” to Battle that Dragon to get as high as you can.

Dragon Screen

 

If you have enough Potions you “NEED” to Attack the Dragon, you will see “FIGHT” lit up in Bright Green.

Dragon Screen FIGHT Bright Green

Tapping on “FIGHT” will turn the screen into a Letterbox and you will see the game launch either a Rock (Earth Potion), A Fireball (Fireball Potion), or Lightning Strike (Lightning Potion) at the Dragon. Once it hits the Dragon, your payout will drop out. You do NOT have to tap on it to collect it if you do not want to. If you wait a few moments, the game will do it for you.

 

If you do NOT have enough Potions you “NEED” to Attack the Dragon, you will see “FIGHT” Darkened out. You will need to collect more Potions before being able to move on and Attack the Dragon.

Dragon Screen FIGHT Darkened

 


WILL THE POTIONS BE THE SAME EVERYTIME?

Fireball Potion Earth Potion Lightning Potion

No. What Potion is required will constantly change. All I can suggest is try to load up on as many as you can to get a good run at the Dragons before trying to take one down.

 


WHAT REWARDS DO I GET FOR BATTLING THEM?

Here are some of the Results I saw in my game for Phase 1

*The Princess Hats no longer showed as a count so I tried to count them before they collected, so the numbers for the Higher Levels may be slightly off. Also, Princess Hats and Dragon Boogers continue to drop even after you have all you need.

As I have yet to see a Black Dragon, I do not have any stats for them. If you have, feel free to share your results in the comments below.

 

 

 


AM I GETTING MORE MAGIC BEANS THEN LISTED?

Magic Beans

YES! I noted this in another post, but the Magic Beans list the amount you will at least get for defeating the Dragon at each Level. However, the payout of Magic Beans you actually get is definitely a HUGE amount more.

These are some Examples I got in my game Phase 1 (they did vary on the Paid amount, but this is an overall of what I saw)

Blue Dragon Magic Beans ListedMagic Bean Magic Beans PaidMagic Beans
1st Battle 50 200
2nd Battle 120 200
3rd Battle 280 2000
4th Battle 480 2000

Blue Dragon Magic Beans ListedMagic Bean Magic Beans PaidMagic Beans
1st Battle 50 50
2nd Battle 120 200

2nd Battle 50 800
3rd Battle 120 1000
4th Battle 245 1000
5th Battle 450 6000

As you can see, the Dragons will give you a HUGE boost in your Magic Beans. The best thing to do is load up on Potions then take one down up to the Highest Possible point to get the best results.

 


HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR THEM TO COME BACK?

Dragon Icon

This one is not able to be calculated as there are many variables to it. The exacts are not known nor released from TinyCo. From the information they did provide to Players, the respawn can take at LEAST 12-27hrs for a Dragon to spawn again if not more. All I can suggest is just keep checking for when YOUR Dragon will return. If it has been more than 48hrs, let TinyCo know.

 


IF I DO NOT DEFEAT THE DRAGON, WHAT HAPPENS?

If you are unable to completely destroy a Dragon to the Highest Level possible, it will disappear once the 24hr timer is up. Tapping on the Dragon Icon over the Castle will then give you the option to pay a Clam amount to Revive the same Dragon you were battling at the same Level you left it.

Dragon Did Not Defeat Screen

The Clam amount will vary on your progress when the timer ran out, so the only way to know the amount is tap on the Icon and open the information window.

Again, optional. You do not HAVE to Revive the Dragon and continue the Battle if you do not want to. You can just wait for the next one to arrive.

 


HOW DO I KNOW HOW MANY POTIONS I HAVE?

You can see it in the main Battle Screen like noted above. After that… well that one can be a lil tricky. If you completely defeat the Dragon to the top Level possible for it, it will immediately go away. At that point you will be able to get a New Dragon to come back right away for Clams (Mine is usually 40 Clams to get a new one). Also on this screen will be the current amount of Potions you have in the game.

Dragon Revive Screen with Potion Count

This is the ONLY time the screen will show the Potion counts while the Dragon is gone. A full to the Top Level Defeated Dragon. If the 24hr timer just passed and you were not able to Defeat it to the top level, you will only see the Revive screen above instead and no Potion Counts.

 


QUICK TIPS

  • Gather as much Potions in all varieties as you can while you are waiting on the Dragon
  • Tap on the Castle/Dragon Area to start an Attack
  • Defeat the Current Dragon to the Highest Level Possible
  • Repeat

 


There you have it, an overall look at the Dragons that are being offered in our games, some of their payouts, as well as a look at how the Dragon Battles work.

What do you think of the Dragons? Are you getting a lot of Magic Beans from them yet? How many have you attacked? Seeing mostly White or Blue? Seen a Black Dragon yet? Let us know.

  1. Is there any “bonus” for actually defeating a dragon? Besides getting whatever it says it’s going to drop. Do we advance a level or something?

  3. I’ve been battling the white dragons up to level 5 and the light blue one to level 3 or 4. I think the dark blue one has popped up but I don’t fight him past level 3. I’ve spent somewhere around 100 clams total between buying potions and a few items to unlock characters. something that was very useful was the fairy tale Library, I purchased it right after the event started I believe on day 3. I did the math and for 250 clams it would drive about a total of 300 so a net gain of 50. since then I have realized that when the timer reads 3 hours or less it only cost one clam to make it drop thus making it drop 5 clams every 9 hours making it even more worthwhile.

  4. I think they might have reversed the rarities of the dragons I have only gotten the white dragon once and the black dragon 3 times but I need scales and boogers but can’t afford the black dragons and have to wait almost 2 days every time hopefully my luck changes in 2 more days

    • I’ve gotten the black dragon three times in a row (I’ve only seen the white one maybe twice and the light blue one once). I am usually only able to hit him (black dragon) one time, because the second hit calls for a large amount of potions that I do not have stockpiled and cannot make in the time that he is around.

WAAAY less than I waited last time..haha. Super random. Either 4 hours or 36 in my game….

  8. Hi, I’m battling a White Dragon at the moment but no Boogers have been dropped, my previous Dragon was Blue and that dropped Boogers! I messaged Tinyco today but they said everything was working ok, Is it only Blue Dragons that drop them, or is it because I didn’t completely defeat it? If that’s the case I’ve wasted potions on it and should have waited for another Blue one!. Thanks 🤔

I’m closer to unlocking Giant Chris than I am to unlocking Westley. :”'( I STILL need 12 more scales and since boogers drop in higher quantities than scales do, I’m afraid I will unlock Giant Chris before I unlock Westley even though I placed Westley nearly a week prior to G. Chris, lol….shucks! Anyone else feeling the grind of the dragon scales like I am? Just curious if others are having a similar experience. I didn’t purchase the Black Knight, so I’m sure those that did are having NO problem whatsoever, lol.

    • Definitely not easy getting the Dragon Scales, without the Black Knight or School of Witchcraft & Wizardry. I’ve “passed” on two dragons already, and am waiting for time to run out on a third, as I don’t have the potions to beat him. (Debating buying some potions, but not sure if its worth it. I should be able to get the scales I need on the next dragon, as long as it’s not the Black one, so I would only be buying a bit of time…) And tying up Sir Peter on this is really hurting my Sapphire Egg collection, as I can’t train anyone in Wrestling!

  14. Gidday! Can you please clarify the “between dragon attacks” screens? It would seem logical to me that “Revive” would bring back the last dragon, at its last strength, while “Summon” would bring a NEW dragon (though with a chance of it being the same colour as the last), at level 1. The post above hints at the opposite, though.

  23. Shortly after phase 2 hit, and while the Big and Tall shop was being built (but not completed) I got a white dragon. I beat it 4 times Thursday night and it dropped boogers each time (I wasn’t sure what they were at that point, since I hadn’t started collecting for Chris the Giant yet). Friday morning I finished the building and defeated the dragon a fifth time (it disappeared) and when I checked Chris I had 15 boogers. All good so far. Friday night I got another white dragon and defeated him once, no boogers. I did again this morning, again no boogers. I reported it already.

  24. Thanks for the full break down, interesting stuff.

    My game seems to be going against the odds in that my first dragon was White followed by 5 Blue ones before I eventually got another White.

    Hopefully the White ones continue as they are a lot easier to beat and get materials (even with the lower payout).

    Have TC given you any information about the Boogers not dropping? going off your list I should already have 15 that I’ve missed out on. I’ve reported it to them myself but with it being the weekend I don’t expect a reply before Monday.

  25. My dragon experience. White, White, Blue and I logged in to see a Black Dragon this morning. It needs 5 potions for the first attack. It says the first attack reward is 130 beans, 3 dragon boogers, and 2 dragon scales. No mention of princess hats. I am definitely hoping to see more white dragons so that I can gain more materials for smaller potion requirements. I have only unlocked Sir Peter, (still working on Westley) so potions are not easy to come by as yet.
