What you will meet
Your trial concludes with a bond or a failed run (a burn is the one we logged), displaying either your dragon result card or a failure screen.
The confirmed burn screen advises players to gather their common sense, read the guide, and return in a few hours because their dragon still waits in the valley.

What we saw
- Our run 1: Burned at the two green dragons; screen advised returning in a few hours.
- Our run 2: Restarted when checked at 21:41 (the gap since the first burn is not recorded), reached step 5, burned, and saw the same return prompt.
- Our entry check: Checked start screen after run 2 and observed an active countdown showing 3:39 and 3:38.
Counts, not odds. These observations document one account over two runs and one countdown check, not a fixed server clock.
If it goes wrong
| If your run ended here | What players tried next | Seen by |

| Uncertain when the retry window opens. | Navigated to the start screen to inspect the active on-screen countdown timer. | Seen on screen, Oct 5 ✓ Confirmed |
Players tried these next steps; none guarantees a fix.
