2-7: The Fall of Emperor Norton

Little Tokyo

Bryllcream is a little worn out from his captivity—he has been locked up for almost the entire catastrophe, over sixteen days—and he’ll need your help getting back to base. Heft Bryllcream (carrying him is just like carrying a keg or case of water) and go to the Japanese Heritage Museum, makeshift home of Troop Bushido. It’s the return of the king, with your help. Once you return to the museum, an unspeakable series of events will be carried out as Emperor Norton realizes he has been totally exposed. With no way out, he does the unthinkable.

Enter The Dragon

Norton Dragon erupts from the museum and begins floating throughout the city like a perverse parade day float. The Dragon blasts flame along the land and buildings before it, and will even twist his head back to spit fireballs at you. The Dragon flies quickly, but not so quickly that you can’t keep up with him. Dodge his fireballs and any other enemies you see along the way so you can gain the higher ground just above the beast. From here, you can fall onto his back and grind along its spine toward his head, where you can deliver the powerful “dragonstrike” blow with B.

Norton Dragon will be shaken up after one blow to the back of the head, but he won’t be deterred. He only becomes angrier, displaying long spines along his back and blasting more quickly. You’ll also begin to notice Gunkers in the area, gunking up the grind routes along the Dragon. Keep up with the serpent and aim at his back with an explosive or automatic gun to blow off all the spikes. With the back de-spined, you can jump on top of the Dragon and grind up its back and whack it in the skull once more.

Norton Dragon is resilient, but he can’t put up with this forever. He’ll shake off a second attack, but won’t survive a third. He’ll grow a new set of spines, but you can blast these off same as before, opening the path to grind on his spine. One final pierce to the brain will dethrone the Emperor while finally truly rescuing Troop Master Bryllcream.

Completing “The Fall of Emperor Norton” ends Act 2. You’ll unlock “The Firework Show” Quest, along with three Challenges: Bomb Delivery #5, Episode 3 – Buck’s Revenge, and Traversal Challenge #10. Two Hat Jack begins selling One-Handed Dragon, a one-handed launcher that fires slightly-homing incendiary flares. This is a cool (er, hot) little pistol, especially for its relatively low cost in Overcharge.
