In the distance you see an enemy vulture appear on a creator pad. You ready your lance and prepare to do battle. as you draw close to the enemy Bounder, you rise above him and prepare to defeat him with a quick swooping attack. You sweep down from the sky and dismount the enemy rider with a powerful blow. You have defeated the enemy ... this time.

Schwingt euch auf den noblen Strauß und reitet im Klassiker Joust™ in den Kampf! Wenn ihr mit einem Freund auf die reise geht, nimmt er den stolzen Storch. Zusammen müsst ihr drei Arten feindlicher Ritter bezwingen: rote Grenzer, silberne Jäger und dunkelblaue Schattenherren. Diese Bösewichte fliegen auf schnellen Bussarden durch die Höhlen. Ihr könnt sie von oben mit eurer Lanze angreifen. Fangt die fallen gelassenen Eier, bevor noch stärkere Gegner daraus schlüpfen. Achtet auf die Pterodactyli, die diese Höhlen bevölkern. Dauert eure Quest zu lang, greifen sie an. Und die Lava in der Grube steig höher und höher – also nicht das Flügel schlagen vergessen, damit ihr oben bleibt. Damit seid ihr auch außer Reichweite der Trolle, die euch in die feurige Tiefe ziehen wollen.
