Now you have to fight Mecha Dragon. Jump and hit him on his head to destroy him. LIZARD-MAN Attack Points: 0 Defense Points: 0 Carm Points: 0 Level: Desert ABILITY The Lizard-Man breathes fire and is the only one who can walk through lava without the Dragon Mail. After you've got the Thunder Saber the lizard can shatter blocks with his head. Game Gear: Breath fire to shatter blocks. LEVEL You can reach the desert by going through the tower. The key to open the tower is located at the end of the sea. Once in the desert you can go to the right and try to get the Dragon Mail. This armor allows you to walk through lava in other shapes.
