Dragons per stage and boss route

Stage	What to do
Level 1 · 1	Charge through the first jars. Use the first teleporter to enter the Shadow Realm. Pick up the yellow crescent to the right for Chi, use it on the enemy and touch the crystal dragon beyond it.
Level 2 · 4	Get the key from the jar above the first locked door. Pick up the blue crescent beyond it to learn Tail. Climb the branches above the second teleporter in the Shadow Realm for a dragon. Use the Material Realm to continue.
Level 3 · 5	Take the key before the first teleporter and cross the Shadow Realm bridge. At the first wasp, drop to the right onto a hidden ledge. Later, check the yellow chest before the locked door for a key. For the last dragon, go left past the exit and use the next Shadow teleporter.
Level 4 · 5	Climb on the Shadow Realm’s ice platforms. The first door key is past the spikes to the left of the door. A yellow chest below the spikes in the Material Realm contains a heart upgrade. The last dragon is in the Shadow Realm beyond several rows of spikes.
Level 5 · 6	Take the keys near the first ice bridge and at the end of the blue gem trail. Use them to open the Material Realm doors. The ice platforms past the fifth dragon lead to the sixth and the exit.
Level 6 · 7	Keep left when dropping along the yellow gems to avoid spikes. Later, a blue chest holds a door key. At the top of the final ice-platform climb, go right past the exit to reach the seventh dragon.
Level 7 · Sorcerer	Take the heart along the upper path if needed. Use the teleporter whenever the boss changes realms. Use Tail in the Material Realm and Chi in the Shadow Realm. Jump over fireballs and ground flames in the later phases.
