He is a brave and loyal warrior swordsman sworn to avenge the death of his parents by destroying the Black Monster. Dart carries the soul of the Dragoon. His destiny will take him far beyond a simple quest for revenge.

-The manual


Dart Feld (ダート・フェルド, Dāto Ferudo) is the primary protagonist of The Legend of Dragoon and one of the Dragoon heroes. He is the son of Zieg Feld and Claire Feld, and was one of the few survivors of the tragedy that befell his home town of Neet, in which the mysterious Black Monster attacked and destroyed the town. Years later, Dart would set out to seek out revenge on the creature who destroyed his hometown.

Character Design[]

Dart has short spiked blonde hair with fringes in each sides, and blue eyes. He usually wears a red headband.

His trademark is a vibrant red armor with a single gauntlet on the left and a black high-neck undershirt, blue-gray pants with a brown belt along with a matching side belt on his waist and red knee-pads on his knees and dark brown leather boots with beige folded sleeves. He also wears dark brown gloves and wields a sword. In his CGI art, his pants appears to be black instead of blue gray.

As a child during the tragic event in his hometown in Neet, he wore a brown winter jacket with a white high-neck undershirt, dark green pants and black shoes.

In his Red-Eye Dragoon form, Dart's appearance is identical to his father Zieg in his Dragoon form who wears the red Dragoon armor with a green gem in the center of the chest, matching greaves, blue green pants and a light red knee-high Dragoon armor boots with a green gem in the center. He also wears a matching gauntlets and his sword transforms into a Dragoon Sword. His red headband is brighter and with a dragon motif, while his Dragoon wings are pale green and light red with blue green outlines.

Promo legend of dragoon cast

A promotional image depicting the cast of The Legend of Dragoon in their Dragoon forms, showing Dart in his Divine Dragoon form.

In his Divine Dragoon form, his Dragoon armor envelops his entire body, resembling the Divine Dragon's appearance. The armor is white with red and orange accents with an olive green gem with red line in the center of his armor, resembling the Divine Dragon's eye. His left arm becomes like a "cannon", similar to the Divine Dragon Cannon, with dark red outlines. He further wears a reddish-orange headband with seven green gems on its forehead and a green optic eyepiece on his left eye. His Dragoon armor boots with round, reddish-orange designs resembles a dragon's feet and his six Dragoon wings are of glowing orange and white with gray outlines. In his right hand, he wields a mighty Sword that resembles a sharp dragon fang-like blade with light red outlines.

Personality[]

Dart is a young man whose life turned tragic when an attack on his village wiped out everything he holds dear. Although his heart is heavy, Dart has a positive outlook and will always help a friend in need. His loyalty and unwavering bravery stand out throughout his adventure. While otherwise straightforward and practical, during his travels as a Dragoon he accepts and expresses his feelings for Shana, treats each of his companions with respect and camaraderie, and eventually comes to a closure about his past.

Gameplay[]

Abilities and Attributes[]

Dart is the all-rounder in the party. Literally being average in all stats with the exception for his above average HP, Dart has a surprising amount of survivability. This makes him a solid and consistent contributor throughout the entire game, being a permanent and non-replacable part of the player’s battle group anyway. He also is the male character with the strongest magical attack and defense.

Among the cast, Dart also has the highest amount of additions, with almost all of them having the potential of being useful at some point in the game. While some additions deal high damage and give only a small amount of SP (such as Volcano or Moon Strike), others give high SP at the cost of lower damage (Burning Rush and Madness Hero), while his 4th addition, Crush Dance, can be seen as a solid all-around addition. Having by far the longest play time of all characters, Dart has the potential to master all of his additions and unlocking his final addition without the need of any surplus addition grinding, and is almost guaranteed to reach Dragoon level 5 during the regular course of the game as long as the player is able to pull off his additions consistently.

Dart’s fire element can also be seen as beneficial considering that a decent amount of enemies in the game are of the water element. This comes particularly in effect when using his Dragoon form and Dragoon magic, which is rather simple yet effective. All of his magical spells deal damage to single or multiple enemies with no further effect. Given his decent magical attack, Dart can deal high damage as a Dragoon, most notably with Final Burst.

Overall, Dart has no outstanding strengths, but no noteworthy weaknesses either. He shines the brightest when good use is made of his fire element and dragoon form, and is arguably the most consistent and least polarizing character of the cast.

Weapons[]

Dart's weapons in order of attack power and discovery in the game:

Additions[]

Main article: Additions

Dart has the largest amount of additions among the entire cast. His long play time allows him to level up his additions consistently throughout the game, and gives him the possibility to unlock his final addition throughout the normal course of the game. His variety of additions can be changed specifically for certain battles and situations; some additions such as Volcano and Moon Strike deal high damage at the cost of low SP gain, while some others like Burning Rush or Madness Hero are weaker, but gain at least a full Dragoon round upon completion.

His final addition is the third weakest (or fourth strongest) of the cast at a maxed 450% damage multiplier, but provides a very respectable 150 SP at the highest level.

Story[]

This article is in need of a cleaning or re-build. You can help The Legend of Dragoon Wiki by reorganizing it to our specifications.

WARNING: Section contains Spoilers.

Past[]

Young Dart discovering his father's Dragoon Spirit.

Dart was born in Neet to Zieg Feld and Claire Feld. When Dart was five years old, Neet was attacked by the Black Monster. Dart, Zieg and Claire escaped and ran to a nearby forest. Zieg and Claire went back to find survivors but did not return. When Dart returned to search for them, all he could find was his father's memento.

Dart later moved to Seles where he met his childhood friend Shana. 13 years after Neet was destroyed, Dart sets out on a journey to find and kill the Black Monster. On this journey he meets Haschel, who is looking for his runaway daughter Claire.

Chapter 1: The Serdian War[]

The Return Home[]

Dart portrait

Dart's Menu Portrait

Five years after Dart set out on his quest, he returns to his home. While resting on a log on the outskirts of Seles, he hears the sound of horses running. He runs to go see the source: The Sandora army returning from burning Seles to the ground.

Two soldiers stop and one of them holds a spear to Dart's neck to ask him if he is from Bale. In defense, Dart draws his sword to attack them; the approach of the dragon Feyrbrand scares off the soldiers. Dart is knocked to the side as the dragon casually swipes at him; realizing the creature is too strong, Dart runs. A female warrior clad in black sweeps Dart to safety with unnatural speed and the dragon thunders off.

The warrior puzzles over why a dragon was necessary to destroy Seles. Dart cares considerably less for speculation than Seles, and runs off to save it. Even from the top of the hill, he can see it is deserted and in shambles. He clears out the remaining Serdian soldiers and the mayor reveals to him that Shana has been taken to Hellena Prison. Dart sets out to save Shana from whatever fate they have planned for her.

A Friend in Hellena[]

Dart arrives at Hellena, sneaking in via the back of a merchant's wagon. As he searches for Shana, he finds three knights of Basil trying to escape, only to have one survive. Dart and the last knight, Lavitz Slambert, join together and resume their search for Shana.

They find Shana, and after a quick battle, free her from her cell. As they escape, the head warden of Hellena, Fruegel finds them and tries to prevent them from escaping. After a battle with him they soon find out that they can not defeat him and they run away to a prairie north of Hellena.

Escape from Hellena[]

As they run from Hellena, Lavitz gets a cut from an arrow shot by a Hellena soldier. The three run into a bush, to evade capture. They later find a shed to rest in, and Shana covers Lavitz's wound.

A talk about the war begins. Dart asks Lavitz what is going on and how the truce became broken. Lavitz states that the Dragon added power to Sandora and the treaty was broken due to that. Dart responds that there was no way a dragon could be used in a war. Dart then reveals he was attacked by Feyrbrand and saved by a passing warrior.

Shana then asks Dart why he left Seles for so long. Dart reveals he was searching for the Black Monster who destroyed his hometown Neet. His mother and father left him to help the village, resulting in their deaths. When Dart came to the village all he found was his father's precious memento.

When they cross the Prairie they come to the Limestone Cave. While crossing a stepping stone path, Lavitz trips and almost falls down the waterfall. Dart helps him up, and their friendship grows. As they venture to the end of the Limestone Cave, the rumored Guardian of the Cave, Urobolus attacks them. After the battle, Urobolus attacks Shana one more time. However, a mysterious power and light awakens from Shana's forehead and disintegrates Urobolus. Dart and Lavitz are left wondering what that power was.

The party is soon able to reach Bale, hometown of Lavitz. They go to King Albert and report what happened to the Knighthood that was destroyed. Two men are shown beside him, one is Minister Noish, and the other is known as The Man In The Hood. Albert shows his gratitude to Dart by introducing Minister Noish to him. Dart asks him about the Black Monster, but he doesn't know much apart from it being called the "Devil" and appearing in the history books since approximately 11.000 years, when the Dragon Campaign ended. Dart is instead told the story of the Dragon Campaign, as the Black Monster first appeared in history after the war. After the story, Dart asks Albert if Shana could be left at the castle. Albert politely says no and tells Dart that he is the only one who can protect her. A meeting is held, Shana and Dart go outside to view the city. Lavitz comes out and tells them they are going to the Fort Hoax. Dart has resolved to help end the war and return home with Shana. The three leave the castle, see Lavitz's mother and head off to Hoax, after meeting Martel, the Stardust collector, on the way.

Birth of a Dragoon[]

The party arrive in Hoax and go see Kaiser. A meeting is held, afterward, Lavitz and Dart are posted at the top of the fort at nightfall. Hoax is soon attacked by the Sandora army. Dart and Lavitz fight together to defeat multiple enemies. Kongol arrives, he is of the Giganto race. Before the final blow is struck, Kongol knocks Dart to the ground. Before executing the killing blow, the passing warrior from before shoots from the sky and stops the attack, wearing strange armor with wings. She then tells him "Wake up! Dragoon of the Red-Eye Dragon!" The memento of Dart's father shines and he is engulfed by fire. Dart shoots into the sky and comes down showing only a sphere with two wings supporting it. It attacks Kongol and knocks him out. Dart lands wearing the same armor but a red color with transformed shape.

Kongol awakens and retreats along with two other soldiers. After Shana arrives, Dart reverts back to normal and falls unconscious. The next day, Dart awakens into an argument between the warrior and Shana. The warrior is known as Rose, a Dragoon. Rose was following Dart to see if he was a Dragoon. There is news of a battle in the Marshland also there was a nest of the dragon. The soldiers have little hope in beating Feyrbrand. Rose agrees with them that Humans are no match, but then states that Dragoons can defeat him. Dart begins to accept his fate and vows to overcome the dragon. The roar of Feyrbrand is heard.

Overcoming the Dragon[]

The party arrives in the Marshland. To the north was the battle, to the east was the Volcano Villude. In the aftermath of the battle, multiple corpses were found due to the dragon's poison. Dart felt nothing but sympathy for all who lost their lives; he even expressed sorrow for the fallen Sandoran soldiers stating that there were no allies or foes in death.

On the way to Volcano Villude, Shana twists her ankle, and Dart gives her a piggy-back ride, much to Shana's refusal. Shana reveals her insecurities but Dart tells her not to worry, because he is there. After she recovers, the group goes to the Volcano Villude.

As they travel through the Volcano Villude, they are attacked by Firebird, from whom they successfully escape. They venture deep into the volcano. Shana hears a voice while crossing a sea of lava. A Virage led her to it. Rose explained that seeing as Dragoons used dragons, Winglies used Virage. The Virage attacks them, but is defeated in battle and driven back into a pit of lava. Shana and the others move on, while Rose looks at the Virage sink in. Dart tells her to come for it is too dangerous to stay there.

On the way out they meet a traveling merchant named Dabas, who is looking for a rare gem. He's about to fall when they first see him, he will give a Sapphire Pin after the party rescue him. The group move on and are stopped by Firebird. The party defeat him and they move on.

As the warriors journey through the Dragon's Nest, Shana becomes poisoned by the Dragon poison. She stops to rest, and Dart worries about her. Once she had rested they move on. The group venture to the heart of the nest where they find Greham. Lavitz is enraged by his presence. It is revealed that Greham killed Lavitz's father, and deflected to Sandora. Greham turns into the Jade Dragoon. Rose demanded him to tell her where he got his powers from. Greham said he obtained it from Emperor Doel, who again obtained it from the reborn Emperor Diaz. Rose was puzzled about this, as Diaz died during the Dragon campaign.

Ferybrand arrives and together they try to crush the party. After the battle, Greham is on his back dying. He reveals his regret to everything he did. Greham dies and Lavitz receives the Dragoon Spirit. The poison in Shana's body begins to take more effect, and Shana passes out.

A Cure for Shana[]

Dart enters Lohan carrying Shana to the clinic. The doctor states that Shana consumed a lot of the Dragon's poison and will die if not treated quickly with the Dragoni Plant. According to Dabas it is found in Shirley's Shrine.

Once inside the shrine, there is a picture of a Dragon. It is revealed that there is a Dragoon Spirit inside. They make it past all the traps and puzzles. They also encounter Drake the Bandit, who accuses them of being thieves trying to steal Shirley's treasure. Dart pleads with him, trying to explain the situation, but Drake does not listen. A fight ensues, Drake almost dies, and Shirley appears.

Shirley challenges the party, but instead of fighting, she challenged their hearts. After passing the trials, they receive the White-Silver Dragoon Spirit. Shirley then asks if they could heal Drake, Dart holds the white dragoon spirit with his own and Drake is revived. Shirley disappears, and the party return to Lohan.

After Dart and his team arrive back in Lohan they immediately gives the spirit to Shana to cure her. They then begin to roam around. Soon, they find a spot that holds many games and activities, including the tournament to see who is the strongest person in all of Endiness. Dart participates in the tournament, meeting his old companion Haschel meanwhile, and proceeds to the final, where he suffers a complete defeat against Lloyd.

Abduction of the King[]

As soon as the festivities are over, they come across a wounded knight which tells Lavitz that the king has been taken prisoner by Sandora. As Lavitz immediately tries to get off to save him, Dart tries to calm him down only to have Haschel knock Lavitz out cold. After a while Dart tells Lavitz that they will head to Hellena Prison to save the king.

After the successful infiltration they come across Fruegel and his two minions, Guftas and Rodriguez. As Lavitz strikes Fruegel killing him, they witness that the hooded man extracting the moon gem from the king. With no hesitation Lavitz becomes a Dragoon to stop him, only to be stabbed by the Dragon Buster, a weapon exclusively designed to kill dragons. The hooded man then reveals his identity as Lloyd. After Lavitz dies, the Jade Dragoon spirit leaves him and goes to Albert. The group of heroes then return to Seles and discuss what they are going to do next.

Albert reveals information about the Moon Gem. It turns out Lloyd got his information directly from Albert as he was an advisor to the King. Dart says that the war isn't over and Albert suggests that their next plan of action will be to go to the Black Castle and defeat Emperor Doel.

The heroes visit Kazas and manage to sneak into the castle with the help of Popo who knows a secret pathway inside the castle. After bumping into a bunch of researchers and guards, our heroes meet the Commander who took Shana away to Hellena. However instead of fighting, he asks to wake up Emperor Doel so the war can end. They agree to this and he gives them a yellow stone to take them to Doel's chamber. After placing all the stones in the correct holes, a secret elevator appears in the statue of Empress Karina (his deceased wife) to finally take them to his chamber.

Shortly after this, the team meet up with Kongol again who wants payback for what happened in Hoax. After being defeated Rose manages to hack off his armour and tries to kill him but from the guidance of the others, she spares him instead.

The team finally reach Emperor Doel who says that Lloyd is a pawn and tells them that the mastermind behind everything is the reborn Emperor Diaz. Opon his death, Doel shows some remorse for what he's done and tells them to pursue Lloyd who is now in Tiberoa.

After this battle is over, Haschel gains a Dragoon spirit and the disc ends.

Trivia[]

  • If left idle, Dart has two poses he will do, his first pose is he folds his arms around his chest, leans slightly and taps his foot. He leans slightly and puts his hand on his hip and taps his foot for his second poise.
  • When dispirited, Dart let's his sword hang freely and slouches forward with knees bent slightly.
  • When Dart is in Critical Health, he leans down on one knee and lets his sword hang freely.
  • When defending, Dart holds his sword horizontally in front of his face.
  • Dart is seen transforming into his Red-Eye Dragoon form three times outside of a player-controlled battle. The first scene is his first transformation as a Dragoon to defeat Kongol before he escapes. The second scene is where he blocks the vengeful elder Bardel Brother's magic, and the last is his failed attempt to strike on his father Zieg, who is possessed by Melbu Frahma, who however overpowers him with one blow.
  • It is unclear whether Dart realizes that Haschel is his grandfather. However, before the final battle against Melbu Frahma, Haschel told him about how he looks like Dart when he was young. Dart nods, although it is disputable if this gesture implies that he knows and realizes about his grandfather.
  • Dart is the only character with 2 dragoon spirits and 2 types of element in the entire game.
  • Dart was going to be in Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale as a DLC alongside Abe from the Oddworld series. Character artist Mike Edwards even created a 3D model for the game (He published the renders in his website in June 27, 2013; see the gallery above) but developers canceled Dart due to low sales.
  • Dart's early field model had orange armor and long boots.
  • If the player uses a cheat device to obtain both the Divine Dragoon Spirit and Red Dragoon Spirit, Dart only uses the Divine Dragoon Spirit. 
  • In some early screenshots, Dart's sword looks different. Its handle appears gray and the yellow pattern on it looks completely different. The interesting part is that this sword actually appears in the finished product. It can be seen very briefly during Dart's Divine Dragon transformation sequence when he holds up the spirit. In said screenshots, his arms and legs looks way more blocky as well.
