Your Golden Crown, I'll Take It

Under normal dungeon-clearing conditions, without skills like theft or plunder involved, even if Players could temporarily use their own side's or the enemy's Weapons and Equipment, they could not gain the corresponding Attribute bonuses, much less take them directly out of the dungeon.

Usually, only items dropped from treasure chests counted as portable items officially certified by the Space Prompt.

However, some items were rather special: Equipment and Items that certain bosses were guaranteed to drop under the original game settings.

A classic example was the two massive meat-cleaver blades wielded by the Bald Butcher in Dino Crisis. In the normal game, attacking him would knock the cleavers from his hands, and Players could control their characters to pick up the dropped cleavers and hack at enemies with them.

Yes, that was exactly what Fang, who had evolved from a certain King O, did.

If such guaranteed-drop Equipment and Items were obtained under the right circumstances, they could be acquired directly without going through a treasure chest. It was a kind of hidden bonus.

Archduke Garibaldi's Golden Crown was one such item.

In the game, once Players reduced the Archduke's health to roughly 40% while he was in mounted mode, he would abandon his horse and enter his second form. At the same time, he would discard his Golden Crown, which normally took the form of a full-coverage knight's helmet.

If a Player picked it up immediately, the Golden Crown would restore 100% of their health. Even someone at a sliver of health would be instantly healed to full.

However, if they delayed even slightly and failed to pick it up at once, the Golden Crown would flash a few times before rapidly melting away and disappearing.

Earlier, the Archduke had clearly used a magic shield as a substitute cost
