How To Train Your Dragon Guide

Complete the entire main story through Island 2 and defeat the Red Death boss. The Night Fury Egg drops as a guaranteed story reward after the fight. Hatch it in the Hatchery on Berk. Toothless is account-bound and cannot be traded to other players.

Toothless (Night Fury) has the highest speed and strongest single-target damage. For group combat, the Skrill's chain-lightning outdamages everything else. The Light Fury is best for boss fights thanks to her invisibility cooldown. The 'best' depends on what you are doing.

Five classes are in the game: Boulder (Gronckle), Tracker (Deadly Nadder), Mystery (Hideous Zippleback), Stoker (Monstrous Nightmare), and Strike (Night Fury, Light Fury, Skrill). Strike Class dragons have the highest speed and attack stats overall.

Reach Dragon Rider Level 5. Once you hit Level 5, a quest becomes available on Berk that leads you to find a Deadly Nadder egg. The Nadder is the first dragon upgrade most players get after their starter Gronckle.

No. The Red Death is a boss-only dragon and cannot be tamed, hatched, or added to your roster. It exists as the final boss of the Island 2 story. Defeating it rewards the Night Fury Egg and a chance at the Celestial Egg on repeat kills.

The Light Fury hatches from the Celestial Egg, the rarest egg in the game. Celestial Eggs drop from the Red Death boss on repeat kills at a low rate, or appear in the event shop during limited-time windows. There is no guaranteed way to get one outside of events.

Flight Level (speed and aerial abilities), Bonding Level (rider synergy and passive buffs), Fishing Level (catch rate and fish quality), and Combat Level (attack power and combat abilities). Each one caps at 100 and levels independently through specific activities.

Against groups of enemies, the Skrill's chain-lightning deals more total damage. Against single targets and bosses, Toothless wins with higher per-hit damage and the dive-boost mechanic. The Skrill also gets a stat boost during rain weather. They serve different roles.

Each dimension levels from specific activities: fly for Flight Level, spend time with your dragon and complete quests for Bonding, fish for Fishing Level, and fight enemies for Combat Level. Quests often give bonus XP to multiple dimensions at once, so chain quests for the fastest overall progress.

Your starter Gronckle is the best early investment. Focus its Combat Level so you can clear Island 1 content. At Dragon Rider Level 5, switch your main to the Deadly Nadder for its tracking ability and better speed. Save serious investment for Toothless once you beat the Red Death.
