Adder and asks to avenge him before passing away. Tyris fights her way through the land of Yuria to the castle of Death Adder. Even though he is wielding the legendary Golden Axe, Tyris is victorious and saves the king and his daughter. A few years after Death Adder's defeat, Dark Guld claims the power of the Golden Axe conquer the land in Golden Axe II (1991) and the three warriors go into battle again to deal with this new menace. She makes a cameo appearance in the action-adventure game Golden Axe Warrior. One of playable characters in the fighting game spin-off Golden Axe: The Duel is also Tyris' relative named Milan Flare. A different Tyris Flare is the protagonist of the 2008 reboot game Golden Axe: Beast Rider, in which she is a "half-gladiator/half-barbarian" defender of the Axirian Priestesses, a female sect worshipping the Great Dragon in the Island of Axir. After the sisterhood is wiped out by Death Adder's forces, she takes up sword and sorcery to avenge them and stop him from taking over the world. The game ends with her killing Death Adder in a snake form. Gameplay and design In Golden Axe and Golden Axe II, the Tyris has the shortest melee attack range among the heroes, but is most agile and has the most powerful spells; her magic attacks are all fire-based, including the summoning of a giant, flame-spewing dragon. In Golden Axe II, she has a new outfit. She is blonde in the first game but her hair color changes through the series. According to Beast Rider developer Secret Level, the focus was on reimagining her in the reboot. In their game, she has darker skin, shorter red hair, and white warpaint around her green eyes, uses various swords, and wears several different, mostly tribal-like outfits (and her original costume) that can be unlocked by the player. The game's producer Nigel Cook said: "We gathered many opinions from internal Sega employees and from actual Golden Axe fans. To be honest it was pretty much a split decision between Tyris Flare and Gilius Thunderhead. What pushed us over the edge in choosing Tyris was her unique combat style—a mixture of half gladiator, half barbarian along with her motivation for revenge against Death Adder. She is also very pleasing on the eye!" Other appearances In the early-1990s Golden Axe II sequel comic serialized in Sonic
