Dragonkind Player Paths
These are two real Dragonkind runs. We wrote them up from public player videos, one screen at a time. Where the video doesn't show which button was tapped, we say so instead of guessing.
This isn't an answer key. The game says dragons follow no law but their own, so the same choices might not give you the same dragon. Use it to see what's coming and to pick on purpose.
Path 1: bonded with an orange swordtail
Result card: Daeshain, an orange swordtail. Male, 57 years old, lineage Tholiasych. The player was in Third Wing, Claw Section, First Squad.
| # | What happens | Your options | What the player picked |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Who you enter the Vale with | One squadmate / two squadmates / alone | One squadmate |
| 2 | Roar to the east, sulfur to the west. Your squadmate wants to go west | Leave your squadmate / talk them into going east / go west together | Not clear on video. The squadmate is still there next scene |
| 3 | A green dragon pushes its head through the trees and snaps at you both | Back away with eyes down / jump in front of your squadmate / hold still with eyes down | Not clear. The green burned the squadmate and let the player live |
| 4 | You walk past ash piles. After twenty minutes you hear voices, then a scream | Check on the scream / keep walking | Check on the scream |
| 5 | A friendly squadmate is holding off two cadets who've bullied them since Parapet | Help your squadmate / leave them and find your dragon | Help your squadmate |
| 6 | The bigger cadet swings a sword at your squadmate | Charge the other cadet / jump in between / stop and size it up | Not clear on video |
| 7 | The smaller cadet has a dagger ready to throw at you | Charge the bigger cadet anyway / take on the smaller cadet | Take on the smaller cadet. The player dodges the dagger |
| 8 | You and your squadmate disarm both cadets | Let your squadmate get revenge / leave them for the dragons / finish them yourself | Let your squadmate get revenge |
| 9 | You split up with your squadmate | East / west / deeper into the forest | Deeper into the forest. No dragon for most of an hour |
| 10 | A red dragon has just burned a cadet. It lowers its head at you and the game asks if you're sure | You're sure / get out of here | You're sure |
| 11 | You walk up from the left and the red growls | Back off politely / keep going | Not clear. The player survives with a 'that was close' |
| 12 | Dragons are glaring at you from the edge of a clearing | Go to the orange dragon / go to the brown dragon | Go to the orange dragon |
| 13 | The others fly off. The orange gets into an attack stance and roars | Roar right back / run | Roar right back |
| 14 | The orange looks stunned, tilts its head and spreads its claws in the grass | Run for your life / take it as an invite and climb on | Climb on. The bond happens |
What stands out: this player met a green and a red that weren't theirs and lived through both. They backed their squadmate in a fight. At the end they answered the orange dragon's roar instead of running.
Path 2: burned by a red
This run was on launch morning, and the site kept failing between choices. It ended at a red dragon. The game said the dragon found the player's choices foolish, then sent them away to wait.
| # | What happens | Your options | What the player picked |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Who you enter the Vale with | Two squadmates / alone / one squadmate | Alone |
| 2 | Roar to the east, sulfur to the west | West toward the smell / east toward the roar / middle of the forest | Not clear. The server kept failing here |
| 3 | A red dragon stalks toward you, breathing steam | Hide behind a tree / lower your eyes / meet its gaze | Not clear. The player is burned right after |
We add new paths as players post them
We still need runs that end with a black, blue, green, brown or red dragon. We check new videos every day and add each path here. Got burned? Start our retry timer, or warm up on our free simulator.
Questions people ask
Is there a Dragonkind answer key?
Not a guaranteed one. The game says dragons don't follow rules, so the same answers can end differently. Real player paths are the closest thing.
How do you get an orange dragon in Dragonkind?
In the run we wrote up, the player went to the orange dragon at the edge of a clearing, roared back at it and took its pose as an invite to climb on.
Do you meet more than one dragon?
Yes. The bonded player met a green and a red before the orange that picked them.
Does helping your squadmate get you killed?
Not in the run we watched. The player helped a squadmate against two bullies and went on to bond.
