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.

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. It knows the moves Agility, Ancient Power, Fire Blast, and Sky Attack.

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 or doing missions. Players can also use this path for training Pokémon.

Restrictions

 * Must have a Flying-type Pokémon in the team.

Tips

 * Due to the lava tiles giving the status, it is recommended to equip a  or  if you can cross them. Eating a Rawst Berry gives the same effect.
 * A Pokémon that knows Refresh or other status healing moves can work too, but you would need to be careful.
 * If using status immunity, a Magma Emblem will let you cross them which helps for faster travel.
 * 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.
