Sky Fortress/Fire Path

The Fire path is one of the three main paths you can take in Sky Fortress. While it is optional to go through, completing it and obtaining the Fire Orb is required to gain access to the Sky Garden. The boss at the end of this path is Moltres. No matter which part of the path you are on, the weather could be sunny, either through normal means or due to the Ninetales or Torkoal spawning.

Attributes
After reaching the stairs of the 99th floor, the player is brought into a room with various Unown, much like the Unown chambers for previous paths, where each one will drop a letter stone. These Unown spell out "MOLTRES", foreshadowing the keeper and boss of the path. All stones are needed in a player's bag to open the sealed door leading to the rooftop. A way to cross lava is required for this specific Unown chamber due to the lava blocking the top half of the room.

Boss
Upom reaching the rooftop of the Fire path, Moltres appears and tells the player that the Slowking they met is not an ally. Moltres then says that he will be ready to crush all who dare to challenge him. Then, Moltres tells the player to cast their spell, kindle their flame, and ignite in the name of all passion, fiery and feisty and to witness the magician within. It then attacks the player. After defeat, Moltres says that the blazes had died down, and then leaves, but not before warning the player of the dangers ahead and to not blind themselves by blinding the magical flare within.

Boss drop:
 * Fire Orb
 * Moltres' Heart Slate

Before Fighting: After Defeating:
 * ???: Gyyoooouuuuh...!
 * ???: Halt!
 * Moltres: Who dares disturb the ash fall sorcerer at this hour!?
 * [Player Name]: !!!
 * Moltres: And who are you, a peasant?
 * [Player Name]: (...!?)
 * Moltres: Here to stop my wrath? What is this nonsense!
 * Moltres: This is no wrath! This is my ultimate judgement.
 * Moltres: Has that cursed Slowking sent you here? Pay no heed to his words, that heavy headed mollusc is no ally of yours.
 * Moltres: ...Gyyyuuooooh! I shall not stop you, if you wish to fight. I am ever ready to crush all those who dare challenge my undisputed sorcery.
 * Moltres: But before we proceed, I must tell you who I am. For I take great pleasure in giving my victims the right of knowledge who seals their fate.
 * Moltres: I am Moltres - Caster of eruption, controller of the seas of lava, bringer of the ash fall, and king of this very fortress! Gyuoooh!
 * Moltres: Cast your spell, kindle your flame, and ignite in the name of all passion, fiery and fiesty. Witness the magician within!
 * Moltres: Here I come, Gyuuuooooh!
 * Moltres: Gyuuuooh! Urrrf...
 * Moltres: These fragile blazes have died down, it appears...
 * Moltres: Glory be to you, the vitor.
 * Moltres: I must withdraw for now. But take my words with caution, do not blind yourself by blinding the magical fire within...
 * Moltres: Passion is a dangerous thing. And the skies that burn with my inferno, are not keen to please those who choose to walk the path of ignorance.
 * Moltres: I praise your ardour...But I shell depart for now...
 * Moltres: Gyoooouuuh!

Dungeon Objective
The main objective of this path is to reach the end and defeat Moltres, who drops a Fire Orb that is needed to progress into Sky Fortress Garden. Secondary objectives include obtaining Moltres' Heart Slate, obtaining Fletchling and Darumaka from eggs. Players can also use this path for training Pokémon.

Restrictions

 * Must have a Flying-type on the team.

Tips

 * Due to the lava tiles giving the burn status, it is recommended to equip a Rawst Scarf on a Pokémon that can cross them.
 * A Pokémon that knows Refresh can work too, but you would need to be careful.
 * Bring an Ability or move that can alter the weather, Cloud Nine or Rain Dance for a few examples. This is due to the use of the sunny weather, which boosts the damage of Fire-type moves.
