The trio journeys to Barga, where they meet Nanu, a Dragon Master, and her Earth Dragon Kinguq. These guardians protect a secret door that leads to the mighty Earthquake Dragon known as the Naga. Behind this same door, Maldred remains trapped. Drake, Wolfgang, and Nanu must work together to prevent Zoltan from breaking through.
