Despite a whole world filled with arena fights, plants you can feed to your dragons, side missions, and colorful characters, the game just seems tedious.
Given that it takes maybe 15 hours to complete, that's a lot of tedium. Primarily, the issue is that the less action-oriented elements - such as feeding and taking care of your dragons and carrying out the weak side missions most of which just require you to roam around collecting stuff - take up too much time. This game just isn't compelling in these ways, and the developers would have done better to focus on what kids really want to do: get in fights with other dragons.
Take, for example, the mini-games that earn you experience points. Many are simple matters of timing you have to hit a button repeatedly to fill a meter and stop when it hits the right spot , and none are particularly inventive. Perhaps the best is Flying Shepherd, in which you pick up sheep and return them to a fenced-in area.
The developers could have found some way to take the dragon concept and run with it for these games, but instead, they gave us the equivalent of a bargain-bin Wii title. When you go to use the experience points you earned in the mini-games, you find that the RPG elements aren't convincing, either. There are definitely kids who love RPGs we have fond memories of Final Fantasy games on Game Boy circa , but here, to 'level up' each dragon and learn new combos, you're stuck grinding on practice fights against enemies that hardly move.
While some of the villagers argue against leaving their homes, Hiccup tells them that they are Berk no matter where they live. However, Grimmel was counting on them to abandon their homes all along, and he plans to keep tracking Toothless with reluctant help from the warlords. The Berkians travel with the dragons to another island to stay temporarily.
The Light Fury appears to follow the group, but she vanishes after knocking Hiccup off of Toothless's back after mistaking him for an enemy. She reappears later that night, and Toothless goes after her.
Hiccup wakes up and goes to try and help him out. Toothless does goofy dances to court the Light Fury, which does not impress her. He then manages to draw her face in the sand, which she seems to like. Unfortunately, she flies away again when she spots Hiccup, and Toothless is unable to fly after her because of his bad fin. Hiccup later decides to fix up the fin and paint it black so that Toothless can go and find the Light Fury.
Valka heads back out on Cloudjumper to make sure the villagers weren't followed. They are spotted by the Deathgrippers, who try to attack and bring them down, but the two manage to escape and head back to warn Hiccup.
Toothless flies until he finds the Light Fury. They take flight together as she demonstrates her ability to camouflage herself using her fire breath. With her help, Toothless is able to use his own power with lightning to achieve the same effect. They continue flying until the Light Fury brings Toothless to a waterfall. After learning Grimmel is hot on their trail, Hiccup leads the Dragon Riders to catch him, but he was expecting this, so they have fallen into his trap.
He sends the Deathgrippers after them, but they manage to evade them and escape. They accidentally leave Ruffnut behind and don't realize it until they return to the island. Hiccup is then pressured into finding another solution to stopping Grimmel. He notices Toothless hasn't returned, and Astrid reminds him that he gave Toothless his freedom to be with the Light Fury.
As Grimmel tries to make his next move, Ruffnut starts to annoy the hell out of him with her endless talking, so he frees her. Ruffnut inadvertently blabs about their new location, so he keeps a close eye on her to see where she's headed. Hiccup and Astrid ride Stormfly to find Toothless. They come across the waterfall and are flown down into the hidden dragon world, which is vast and beautiful.
They see Hiccup acting as the alpha to all the dragons you can even see Drago's Bewilderbeest among them , with the Light Fury now officially being his mate. The other dragons spot Hiccup and Astrid and chase after them.
Toothless and Stormfly grab them and flee. Hiccup starts to figure that the Berkians couldn't live with the dragons in their world and that maybe that's where the dragons ought to be. Ruffnut returns to the village, and Grimmel has followed her back.
