How To Train Your Dragon is an RPG set in the world of the films, where you travel across islands, bond with your dragon, and take on quests and boss battles alongside other players. This guide walks you through getting started, training your dragon, tackling bosses, and picking up free items along the way.
In shortYour first job is to work through the opening story and get comfortable with flight training.
When you load in, the game walks you through a story that introduces you to your dragon. Once that opens up, flight training becomes available and you can start practising in the air. Every training session you finish deepens your bond with your dragon and pushes the story forward.
Work through the storyfollow the opening quests to unlock flight training and meet characters from the films.
Try your first flight trainingread the on-screen goal before you take off so you know exactly what to do.
Watch your dragonas your bond grows, new parts of the story and new regions open up.
In shortRepeated training is the core loop — bond and level go hand in hand, and both determine how far you can progress.
Finishing a training session earns your dragon experience, which raises its level and makes it hit harder in battles. Your bond deepens at the same time, and a stronger bond unlocks new story scenes and lets you reach areas that were previously closed off. There is no shortcut — consistent training is what moves everything forward.
Tips worth knowing
Replay training sessions you have already cleared; each run still gives experience and bond progress.
Chase bonus challenges when they appear — the rewards are better than a standard run.
Check your bond gauge regularly, because a higher bond directly increases your dragon's power.
Keep questing across the islands; story quests introduce new enemies and new regions that push your dragon's growth.

In shortReading the goal before you start saves a lot of frustration, because every training type plays differently.
Flight training covers several different challenge types, and each one has its own objective. The game displays instructions on screen at the start of every session, so a quick read before you move helps.

In shortBosses are built for groups, so coordinating with your team and arriving with a well-levelled dragon is the key to winning.
As the story progresses, multiplayer boss battles open up. Your dragon's level and bond both affect how much damage you deal, so underprepared players will struggle. The game uses matchmaking to assemble a team automatically, and working together makes even the toughest enemies manageable.
