The Flying Barding is a mechanical steed that first appears in the original Dragon's Lair . A floating horse barding that may or may not be sentient, it quickly takes off at full speed with Dirk just barely managing to navigate its direction. As Dirk flies through the room, he must quickly act to evade the walls of stone and fire. If Dirk crashes into any of the walls, the Barding is destroyed in the collision. After the Barding crash lands at the end of the stage, Dirk is able to use an exit in order to advance.
