Holy tire smoke! I still can't believe I actually tracked down that sneaky dragon lurking on Hammer Mountain in Forza Horizon 5's Hot Wheels DLC. That scaly rascal thought it could hide from me? Pfft. After countless hairpin turns and near-death barrel rolls through Giant's Canyon, I finally stared into its glowing green eyes β and let me tell ya, my palms were sweatier than a monsoon in Mexico! This ain't just some Sunday drive mission, folks. That three-minute timer turns your adrenaline dial to "volcanic eruption" mode. Buckle up, 'cause I'm spilling all the secrets to bagging this beast!

Gear Up Right: You absolutely NEED a B-class car β anything else gets laughed off the mountain. My trusty Honda Type R 2016? Pure fire! Bought it straight from the auto show for 45,000 credits. That 6.5 speed rating? Chef's kiss! ποΈπ¨

Navigation Ninja Moves:
-
Teleport to The Nexus (center of the map, duh!)
-
Open your menu: Rookie Rank β Major Missions β DRAGON HUNTER B
-
PIN THAT SUCKER! Otherwise you'll wander like a lost armadillo
-
Follow the Emerald Trail: Hammer Mountain's in the far southeast desert. Once you blast out of the outpost, gun it down the canyon road until... BOOM! That glorious green dragon statue appears! But uh... don't get distracted by the cacti. Seriously.
β±οΈ Beat the Clock or Get Roasted
You've got exactly 3:15 minutes to reach that dragon. ONE miscorrection? Game over, pal. Here's how I shaved seconds:
| Car | Speed Rating | Terrain Advantage | Why It Slays |
|---|---|---|---|
| Honda Type R 2016 | 6.5 | Pavement Princess | Handles curves like butter |
| Exomotive Exocet | 4.5 | ALL terrains | Those monster tires eat boulders |
Pro tip: If you're flailing, open your map and zoom into Giant's Canyon. See that weird green smudge left of the biome name? That's your dragon-shaped bullseye!

-
Forest Falls' jungle jumps up north? Pure vine-swinging chaos!
-
Tank balloons? PR Stunts? Yeah, they're basically Horizon Academy's final exams
