I was trying to think back on the adventure we had in Icestorm Island, [your Viking's name]. Right before the Berserkers arrived on the island and forced us to evacuate, you and the Archaeologist found a treasure vault. Didn't you say one of the items was a lens of some sort? Do you think it was for the Dragon eye?

I know that the Archaeologist kept the artifact afterwards. Will you talk to him and see where it is? If you go now, you can catch him before he leaves Berk.

1 - Talk to the Archaeologist by the Berk docks

Great minds think alike, my friend! My thoughts began racing immediately after I saw those wonderful projections on the wall. I could never figure out the purpose of the artifact in the vault. Perhaps this was it!

I returned to the village after the Berserkers left and grabbed the artifact. Fishlegs was really interested in it, so I let him borrow it to examine it! Would you get it for me? It should still be in the Lookout.

The Archaeologist is waiting at the Great Hall.

Amazing! I am always fascinated by how efficient dragons are. It would have taken me a week to get there and back.

Will you give the Dragon Eye lens to Hiccup? He'll know how to unlock its secrets.

Welcome back, [your Viking's name]. Wow! That's definitely a Dragon Eye lens.

Ooh! The Dragon Eye lens only shows its secrets when the flame of a dragon of the same Dragon Class reflects through the artifact. The Groncicle is a Boulder class[sic] dragon. That means we need another Boulder Class like my dear Gronckle Meatlug to use the Dragon Eye!

Click on Meatlug and use the Dragon Eye!

That's fascinating... Let's take a closer look at the projection.

Here we go... The Groncicle is a Boulder Class dragon that lives in cold environments. They are a helpful, friendly race that are allies to those who treat them with respect.

It says here that the Groncicle's ice breath is amazing! There are only a few dragons that have it, such as a... "Bewilderbeast"? It says that the Groncicle can use the ice breath on clouds to condense the water vapor, causing it to rain or snow.

That would be a great way to partially control the amount or type of precipitation. That's quite an ability.

Let's test that out. You made friends with that little Groncicle in Icestorm Island, right? Take him with you to gothi's hut in Berk!

That cloud is gathering but it isn't ready to release the moisture. If we use the Groncicle's ice breath on the gathering cloud, it will allow water droplets or ice crystals to form more easily. Try it now.

8 - Use your Groncicle's ice breath on the clouds

It worked! We caused condensation in the cloud and it's starting to rain!

That's absolutely amaizing, [your viking's name]. Come back down and talk to me!

9 - Talk to Hiccup

That's another thing we need to add to the Groncicle page in the Book of Dragons. The Dragon eye is helping us gain a deeper understanding of the dragons around us. What an amaizing artifact!
