Dragon's Valley

Dragon's Valley is the third episode of Cookie Run. It is a volcano-themed stage with a lot of fire and lava, to suit the presence of the Red Dragon.

It is hard to reach the final stage without a relay, considering a very limited Health Potions and a very long and tiresome stages. The difficulty speaks for itself. It is very hard and players have to rely on experience to pass stages without colliding.

This episode is well-known for its significant amount of jellies as well as Star Jelly Fireworks. Players often rely on Riding to grab as much jellies as they can.

Episode Summary
''The air here is hotter than inside the oven. Run from the boiling lava to a safe place! Aaaagh! The ground is shaking!''

Stages
Unlike Escape from the Oven and Primeval Jungle, each stage in this Episode are very long and requires extensive health drains before getting health potions. There are only 9 available health potions in this episode. Two of them can be obtained if players are able to do a full loop in the final stage.

In the City of Wizards update, the position of the pattern changes slightly as well as the pattern itself. New obstacles are added and removed to add variety to the game.

This is the episode that has the longest stages between the four episode, with the exception of the final stage.

6. Dragon Egg Cavern
This stage is to test the player's reflex in the stage. There are lots of moving platforms, so a careful jump is essential to move forward, and not fall into the bottomless pit. Enemies are also swarming and may be hiding behind a pack of jellies, so following the jelly trail may be the best choice.


 * The second mystery box can be found here.

7. Dragon's Treasure Horde
This is the only stage where flying coins are present. There are worth tons of points, and collecting them will essentially boost the player's score. But beware, as the player will have to move through a lot of moving platform without the aid of jelly trail. There are also lots of trick platforms to trick players into making careless move to the bottomless pit.


 * The second and final Bonus Time jelly can be found here.

8. Flaming Dragon's Nest
This is the final stage. Being able to run this far proves quite a feat, and without tons of Slower Energy Drains and revives, it is virtually impossible to make it this far without Cookie Relay. Players will have to survive in this stage before their energy dried out to maximize their scores. Players will be granted two large health potions to run even longer, providing that players are able to survive long enough in the stage. But after surviving two loops, large health potions will change into giant coins for preventing the experts' infinity running.


 * The final mystery box can be found at the very beginning of the stage.

 * If you collide into an Dragon's Egg in the Flaming Dragon's Nest stage, a hatching will pop out and the dragon will breathe fire, engulfing the screen leaving behind just silhouettes for a few seconds. Following the jelly path is your safest bet during that time.
