This playthrough starts at act 5, when you make your final mythic path choice. If you are wondering how to unlock the Gold Dragon, these are the rough steps you need to take. 1. Act 1: Get the scale from under Kenabres. There are two of them, you need to keep one for the Storyteller (obviously you need to save him in the library,) and show it to him. 2. Act 2: Get the claw off the cart in the northwest part of the cave in Lepers Smile. It's south of where the Lich wand is, just before you find the water. 3. Act 3: Save the Storyteller (might be optional since mine didn't show up in my war camp in act 2... he was meant to be there.) 4. Act 3: Show the claw to the Storyteller and go to the location he tells you about. 5. Act 3: Spare the cultists in that location. After that you are pretty much set for the Dragon Path. You will know if you have the route unlocked when examining the map of Drezen at the very start of act 5. You should see an npc called "Hal" outside the gates of the Citadel. If you don't see him, you likely missed a step and will have to go back to act 3 to finish something. the scale is act 1 exclusive, but the claw should be able to be found after act 2.

To me, the Lich redemption arc felt like best way to get started with the Gold Dragon Mythic path. The Angel is already good, so it would be a horizontal shift. The Azata might be interesting (because of the dragon companion,) but odds are nothing would really happen. The Trickster seems to be above it all. The Aeon also seems to be above being a Gold Dragon. The Demon just doesn't really make sense to go Dragon.

With that out of the way, this episode is numbered as episode zero because it's more or less showing the transition into the Dragon path. That includes the class changed that are required to maximize the benefits from the change. This episode is skippable.

Next time, we will be dealing with the consequences of shifting from Lich to Dragon.

By the way, this playthrough is slightly behind my lich playthrough, so only the dragon exclusive content is new to me. I will try to focus in on tasks for this playthrough. Episodes will be from thirty minutes to an hour. Army battles will be done off camera, since they take up the majority of my play time.
