===============================================================================I. I N T R O D U C T I O N ............................................*INTRO===============================================================================

I was not intending to write a FAQ for DQV, but the further I got into the gamethe more I fell in love with it, and wanted to discover as much as I could. The

Page 6: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

best way to ensure this was to write a walkthrough, and so I've included thekinds of things I wanted to know, for example: what increases to attack anddefence the equipment has, and what I'm supposed to do next, when I've justspent hours gambling at the Casino and totally forgotten.

I played the (EU) game for the first time without any prior knowledge of thestory, and that's the best way if you can manage it. Therefore, I've tried notto spoil the story, though sometimes my enthusiasm might get the better of me!Anyway, that's why I've given place names in the contents, and divided thewalkthrough into three parts, (the three 'generations') so you can look up aparticular location and not find out more that you might want to know, for thatpoint in the game.

Shoulder buttons are used to change the camera angle.Start and select are not used.Directional buttons are for moving, and to scroll through items or partymembers.

--------------------02. SAVING YOUR GAME--------------------The game can be saved when you speak to a nun or priest inside a church. Theyare usually standing at an altar. You can only have three permanent saves,although you can make a temporary save anywhere. This will suspend the gameuntil you reload from that suspended save. Use this if you are somewhere withno church nearby.

-------------03. MAIN MENU-------------Main menu: always available wherever you are! Press X to see this menu, and Bto cancel.

o Talk Use this command to talk to people, or just click A. If there are people in the party, then you can press Talk and individuals will comment. These comments usually relate to the current situation. If you want to get comments from party members, use the B button to activate "Party Chat"

o Magic This option shows you the current party (including those in the wagon) and you can use the directional buttons to see each individual's current MP (on the bottom screen), and all spells that can be used in the Field are shown on the top screen. Press A to select from these spells.

o Items This option also shows the current party, and you can use the directional buttons to view each individual's current items, which includes equipment. Select the Bag and you can view all items held here, and press A to choose one.

ITEM MENU Use : Select to use the item

Page 8: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Transfer: Select to move the item somewhere else Discard : Throw away the item (there is a chance to change your mind) Peep : Get additional information about the item, its uses, who can equip it (if relevant) and what price it would fetch if you sold it. Nothing : Close the menu

o Examine If you are standing somewhere then you will examine the ground. If you are next to something, then you will get some information about it.

o Attributes This option will show all current party members (and the wagon) on the bottom screen and their attributes and equipment on the top screen. Scroll with the directional buttons to change the selection.

ATTRIBUTES: EXPLANATION HP : Hit Points. MP : Magic Points are required to cast spells. Strength : Determines the power of attacks when combined with a weapon. Agility : Determines how fast the character will act in a battle. Resilience: Determines overall defence when combined with armour. It helps reduce damage from physical attacks but not from spell damage. Wisdom : Determines resistance to magic effects, but not to overall magic attack damage. (Equipment can help to lessen some magic damage.) Luck : Determines chance of making critical attacks. Attack : Physical attack power deteremined by adding Strength to attack value of equipped weapon. Defence : Ability to withstand physical attacks is determined by adding Resilience to defence values of all equipped armour.

WAGON: You can also check on the wagon and see a summary of: Casino Tokens : These can only be bought or won at the two casinos. Mini Medals : These are found in your travels and can be exchanged at King Dominicus' Dominion for rare equipment. Gold Carried : As it says. Gold Banked : If you have deposited gold in the bank. Time Spent Adventuring : Overall play-time.

QUICK CHECK: With the cursor on the Attributes, press A and then the left directional button to see the wagon and this summary.

Page 9: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

o Miscellaneous This menu has some very useful and necessary options.

Heal All : Select with A and everyone will be healed using current spells and party members. Very useful for quick healing Equip : Check and change equipment of party members Line-Up : Only available in some dungeons or on the world map. You will see a list of each party member's battle magic on the top screen, and four options. Select 4 to be your active party and then confirm by pressing A on the large arrow. Tactics : Current tactics for everyone appears on the top screen. Choose each member in turn to change their tactics. (See more details in the battle menu section.) Organise Items : Select one and you have the option to place all non-essential (not equipped) items in the bag. Choose the Wagon and you can do this for everyone at once. Sort Bag : Sort by Type, or Alphabetical Order. Battle Message Speed: Change message speed and BGM and SE volume here. If the battle message speed is set to 1 (FAST) then battles will be much faster. Quick Save : You can make a quick save and stop playing if you are not near a church. You will have to turn off the game, and when you reload, choose to "Continue a Suspended Adventure"

---------------04. BATTLE MENU---------------The battle system is turn-based, and you can take as much time as you like toselect your attacks. After that, the battle will commence, and enemies and yourteam will make their moves for that round. However, speed is crucial. Thehigher a character's agility, the faster their attack, and you might be able tokill off all enemies before they have a chance to do anything at all.

When a battle starts you will see four options on the bottom screen.

o Fight : Choose this and you have four more options: - Attack: Make a physical attack (select the target enemy)

Page 10: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

- Magic : Use any spell - Items : Use an item (a number of weapons have special uses as items) or change equipment. (You can't use anything from the bag. - Defend: Reduce damageo Party : Allows you to change one or all party memberso Tactics: Allows you to change the tactics of one or all party memberso Flee : Simply select this to run. Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't, though it's less likely to be successful in a confined space.

TACTICSWhile in the field you can set the tactics for everyone or for each individualin the party, and you can change these during a battle at the start of eachround. There are 6 possible options.

o Show No Mercy : Ally will use their most powerful spells and attacks.o Fight Wisely : Ally will choose the best attacks to defeat the enemy and heal if needed.o Watch My Back : Ally will defend, or use spells like Kasap and Snooze, but not attack directly. Only the Hero will fight.o Don't Use Magic : As it says. No spells will be used.o Focus on Healing: Ally will attack, but heal others whenever needed.o Follow Orders : Player controls the ally.

------------------05. STATUS CHANGES------------------Bad status effects are not so bad in this game, because you can always switchin unaffected party members on the next turn, assuming you have some, ofcourse. Only Poison, and sometimes Curse, lasts after the battle, and mostother effects wear off quickly. You can inflict these on enemies as well.

----------+-----------------------------------+--------------------------------Status | Effect | Cures----------+-----------------------------------+--------------------------------Confuse | Various: e.g. - attack/hug/chat | Cherub Chime----------+-----------------------------------+--------------------------------Curse | Take damage while attacking/Cannot| Sheen spell, Benediction-church | attack at all. |----------+-----------------------------------+--------------------------------Dance | Do nothing (boogie) | Nothing

--------------06. CHARACTERS--------------At the beginning of the game you have the option to name the main character, (Irefer to him as Hero) and he will be on his own at first. However, what makesthis game such enormous fun, is that you will add many more characters to yourparty, some of whom are human, but most of which are monsters that you recruit.How many, and which of these you obtain, is dependent partly on luck andpersistence. See the Lists section if you want more details about yourpotential allies, and their potential powers!

Note that later in the game your human allies will have to be added to theparty. To do this you must speak to Patty the Party Planner, who is found in

Page 12: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

the bar at Gotha Castle. Also, if you have four humans in the party, then theywill automatically appear in the active group when you enter a town, or startexploring a dungeon that restricts the number to four. You can change them fromthe Miscellaneous "Line-Up" menu.

----------------07. MAGIC SPELLS----------------The Hero learns these skills and spells as he (yep, no gender option) gainsexperience from battles, and levels up. Some spells are only for battle, andothers can only be used in the field. Healing spells can be used at any time.The last two spells on the list are event-based.

-------------.----.----.-----.-----.-------------------------------------------Skill/Spell | Lv | MP | Fld | Bat | Effect-------------+----+----+-----+-----+-------------------------------------------Heal | 4 | 3 | Yes | Yes | Restores at least 30 HP to one ally.Squelch | 6 | 2 | Yes | Yes | Cures one ally of poisonWoosh | 8 | 2 | No | Yes | Slice a group of enemies with a whirlwindBuff | 9 | 2 | No | Yes | Raises defence of one party memberMidheal | 11 | 5 | Yes | Yes | Restores at least 75 HP to one allyPeep | 12 | 3 | Yes | No | Reveals contents of treasure in chest. | | | | | Gives information about items/equipmentEvac | 14 | 8 | Yes | No | Exit instantly from dungeon/cave/tower.Swoosh | 16 | 8 | No | Yes | A whirlwind attack on a group - more powerAbsorb Magic | 18 | 2 | No | Yes | Absorb MP of an incoming spellFullheal | 22 | 7 | Yes | Yes | Restores all HP of a single allyZing | 25 | 10 | Yes | Yes | Occasionally resurrects dead ally+half HPKerplunk * | 28 | All| No | Yes | Sacrifice self to resurrect everyone elseKaswoosh | 32 | 32 | No | Yes | A ferocious whirlwind attack on a group.Zoom | - | 8 | Yes | No | Return instantly to various locations.Hocus Pocus | - | 20 | No | Yes | Random effect battle spell._____________|____|____|_____|_____|___________________________________________

Kerplunk * This spell requires at least 1 MP to use, but actually it drains allMP.

Page 13: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

-----------------------08. MONSTER RECRUITMENT-----------------------Soon after the start of the second part of the game (generation 2) you will beable to start recruiting monsters to your team. When you reach a town calledFortuna, you can buy a wagon (ONLY AT NIGHT), from a special shop situated inthe north-west corner. You must also talk to Monty the Monster Monitor, who hasa comfortable monster cave in Fortuna, and will explain the system ofrecruitment. After this, you can recruit monsters simply by fighting one andkilling it. Then, it might decide to join you, and you have the option toaccept or reject its offer. Make sure that the one you want to recruit is thelast monster that you kill if there is more than one recruitable type in theenemy group. Monsters in your party will not respond to your commands untilthey achieve 20 points for the Wisdom attribute, so it's a good idea to keepthem out of the active team until you can give them orders.

Not all monsters can be recruited, (see the monster lists for details of whichones can and which can't), and you don't have to recruit any at all if youdon't want to. But they can make the difference between winning and losingbattles more often than you might expect, and anyway, recruitment is a largepart of the fun! Recruitment really depends on player luck (not the game luckstatistic) and your current level, and some monsters are very hard to get. Themore of a particular kind that you kill, the better the chance that one mightjoin you. Your current level is also a factor, and you are are unlikely to beable to recruit monsters that are more powerful than you.

A little later (after completing events with Harry at Abovitall Tower andCoburg) you can buy the Big Book of Beasts from the same shop in Fortuna. Thisgives you details of all monsters you have killed, whether or not they can berecruited, and various other information, including what item they might drop.However, enemy drops are only shown if you have received the item already, orkilled 11 or more of that monster. The recruitment categories are: Easy,Occasionally and Hard to recruit, and lastly: Unrecruitable.

You can have up to eight active members of your party at one time, and everyone

Page 14: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

will gain equal experience from battles, whether or not they are in yourfighting team of four. Excess monsters travel in the wagon and can be used inbattle if you change the line-up at the start of a turn. However, there aresome dungeons where the wagon is not permitted access, and only the four partymembers will receive experience.

You can have nearly as many monsters as you like (there is an upper limit ofaround 70, I believe, though I haven't confirmed this), and they will stay withMonty the Monster Monitor until you decide to add them to the party. You canalso recruit up to three of one kind, (although it is harder to recruit anotherone of the same type) and change their given names as well. Monsters leftbehind with Monty won't gain any experience, and any items they are carryingwill be returned to you, although they hang on to their equipment.

NOTE: Enemies listed in the walkthrough with an (R) can be recruited.

-----------09. STORAGE-----------Character: 12 items including all equipped things.Bag : Unlimited storage.Wagon : Limited to 4 allies, whether human or monster.Monsters : Store spare monsters with Monty.Bank : Store your gold here in case of defeat. (No interest is paid.)

------------------10. LIFE AND DEATH------------------If your HP or that of an ally reaches 0, then you will be incapacitated, andwill have to be resurrected at a church. The priest will charge for thisservice, based on how high the levels. Later on you will have access to a spell(Zing) which has a chance of resurrecting a party member, and some allies willhave the spell (Kazing) which guarantees resurrection. Also, you can obtain theitem Yggdrasil Leaf, which restores life as well as full health. There areother spells which can be used in an emergency, but you won't have access tothose until much later in the game.

If the main character dies, the battle will continue and, when you enter atown, the party will take you to the church and there is no charge for

Page 15: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

resurrection. However, if you move the Hero to the wagon after death, thenyou'll have to take him to the church yourself and pay for the resurrection. Ifeveryone dies then you will lose half your cash, but other than that there isno penalty.

During the early stages of the game, if someone dies in battle, then after thefight has ended they will be restored with 1 HP, so you don't have to keepusing the church for resurrection. Inns are a useful standby, and cheap, andthe price is based on the number of party members.

---------------11. THE CHURCH--------------The church offers a number of services besides saving your game.

Confession - Save your game.Resurrection - Bring back from the dead at a cost based on current level.Benediction - Remove a curse at a cost based on current level.Divination - Tell you how many experience points are needed for the next level for all party members.Purification - Cure poison.

-----------------12. DAY AND NIGHT-----------------Time passes and day turns to night, and night to day. This occurs quickly whilewalking and fighting on the world map, and is clearly visible. Sometimes it'sessential to be in a town at night if you want to find a particular shop open,or it might need to be daylight for houses to be open and available to raid foritems and chat to the inhabitants. You can use a spell: "Tick-Tock" to changefrom one to the other, or use the item "Night-Light" to change day to night.

----------13. EXTRAS----------There are a number of optional extras in this game, besides the challenge ofrecruiting all the recruitable monsters. You can visit two casinos and play avariety of mini-games there, and collect Knick-Knacks and Mini Medals. You can

Page 16: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

test your luck on a tombola and your DS stylus skills with a slime version ofWhack-a-Mole. There are also 5 T'n'T boards to find and conquer, and for theseyou require a T'n'T Ticket to play. (Although later you can win a free pass.)

The Knick-Knacks are really just collectible items, and you can show them in akind of museum, although some of them have other uses, besides display. TheT'n'T boards give some excellent items and prizes, and the casino allows you tobuy a range of items with the tokens you win. Collect a lot of Mini Medals andyou can 'buy' some equipment with these.

===============================================================================III. H I N T S A N D T I P S ........................................*TIPS===============================================================================

o Use the PEEP command on any item or piece of equipment to be shown details of what it can be used for, and how much money you sell it for. You will also be told exactly who (in your current party) can equip a piece of armour or weapon.

o If you are trying to recruit particular monsters, then use the skill "Whistle" to trigger a battle. You can also use the item "Musk" or "Monster Munchies" to attract enemies for a short time. This is especially useful if you find some rare ones in a particular place and don't want to keep walking around hoping for a random fight.

o Later in the game you can obtain the item, Sands of Time, (a prize for the 4th T'n'T Board) and this can be used to rewind to the start of a battle. Use this to help defeat and recruit monsters that run away!

o Keep just_recruited allies in the wagon to level them up before bringing them into the active party. Remember that monsters must have 20 Wisdom points before they will obey orders!

o Answering No to some questions will prompt information. (You don't know something, so people will tell you things!) However, you can always pick the alternative answer if you don't get what you want the first time.

Page 17: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

o You can change weapons and armour during a battle, as well as using many of them as an item, whether or not they are equipped. Changing equipment does not take up a turn, although using something as an item does.

o Give a staff or weapon to someone, and with your tactics set to Fight Wisely, they might use this as an item (even if it's something they cannot equip). This could be to heal someone, or cast a defensive or attack spell. This is handy, as it saves on MP use.

o When you have the option to add or remove human party members, you must talk to Patty the Party Planner, who is found in the bar on the second floor of Gotha Castle. This is the ONLY place where you can do this!

o If you can't find an item that you know have obtained, first check out the bag, and then the item inventory of your current team. Some items go directly into the bag, and others into the first open inventory slot. If you still can't find something, then check the inventories of any monsters you have left in the Monster Garden.

===============================================================================

IV. W A L K T H R O U G H ................. *WALK

===============================================================================

Please note that I have given strategies based on the human characters in thegame. Monster recruitment is unpredictable, and very much depends on how longyou play for, and chance. If you have some powerful and useful monsters in yourteam, then many battles will be much easier to win!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TASK : Search the ship for all the items and talk to everyone. Finally, : return to the deck and the ship will dock.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Items : Seed of Resilience, Medicinal Herb x4, T'n'T Ticket x2-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Choose your hero's name and then watch the introductory scenes until youfinally gain control of Hero (child).

Talk to Pankraz and then start your 'raid the ship' mission. There is a [SEEDOF RESILIENCE] in the left hand chest and a [MEDICINAL HERB] in the right. Thebarrels contain nothing, so just climb the stairs and exit the door in the nextroom. You'll find yourself at the bow of a large sailing ship.

Page 19: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Use the shoulder buttons to change the angle of view, and chat to everyonewhile you find all the items. If you want to speed things up a bit, enter thecabin at the right of the wheel and speak to the captain. Then, explore theship, and when you've spoken to all the sailors (you don't have to talk to theguard on the left stairs, but you might as well) return to the deck and theship will dock. Don't miss the chap by the bath in the captain's room. Thebookshelf here has a book called "The Monster Book of Jokes" (you'll find a fewtitles throughout the world) with a joke, and there's nothing in the two chestsof drawers. The joke's on you if you haven't spoken to everyone on board ship(or if you haven't got a legitimate copy...) as the ship won't land.

There is another [MEDICINAL HERB] in the middle of three right hand barrels,and a [T'N'T TICKET] in the last of the four barrels up the right hand steps.Enter the door here and go down the steps, and down again into another room.You'll see 8 locked treasure chests, but you will NEVER be able to unlockthese. The lower row of barrels contains another [MEDICINAL HERB], and the topleft one has another [T'N'T TICKET]. Return to the deck and enter the door atthe far left and climb the stairs, and there is a [MEDICINAL HERB] in the righthand chest of the posh bedroom.

After docking, return to the cabin in under the mast and speak with Pankraz,and you will get the option to check back if you've missed anything. Walk upthe deck and you'll find him waiting by the gangplank with the Captain. Speakto him to trigger a short scene. (Pay attention as later decisions might beinfluenced by what you observe.) Speak to Pankraz once more and answer yes(unless you want to chat to the girl in the posh room), and you will leave theship.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TASK : Obtain the items and leave the port.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Items : Adventurer's Map, 10 GoldArea Enemies: 001 Slime, 009 Funky Ferret, 015 Jailcat-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before anything else happens, Pankraz will give you the [ADVENTURER'S MAP] andinstructs you to go play. Walk down onto the wooden floor and break the rightbarrel for [10 GOLD]. Don't bother with the rest of the barrels, and there'snothing in the small house, but a bit of chat with the woman. Leave, and you'llfind yourself on the world map.

Check your equipment and status if you like (press X) and select items, andHero has Cypress Stick and Plain Clothes, and starts at level 1. Walk north andin your first battle Pankraz will turn up. Don't use up your healing herbswhile with Pankraz as he will always heal you. He'll lead the party north, andyou don't have any control over him, so just follow in dad's footsteps. After asecond battle you should gain a level, and then you will arrive at Whealbrook.

Your first major decision for the day is to play with Bianca, and after thatanswer whatever you like. Talk to her again and she'll leave, as will Pankrazafter you speak to him. Now, you're free to explore! Go down the hole in thecorner of the room and you'll be in a cellar. (Move the camera to view the opendoor in here.) There's a useful [SEED OF STRENGTH] in the pot in the corner. Abook about recipes is in the right bookshelf at the back of the main room, andthere is a [POT LID] shield in the pot at the left of the bookshelves (althoughyou cannot equip this.) There is a [MEDICINAL HERB] inside the cupboardopposite the bed. You'll find a [LEATHER HAT] inside the wardrobe upstairs.Equip the Hat and use the Seeds to boost Hero's attributes. By the way, if youcan't find an item in Hero's inventory, and you know you picked up, it will beinside the bag and you can equip something directly from here.

Leave the house and enter the well. You'll see a few of these on your travels,and they often contain something useful. There is a sparkling item on theground so check it out and you'll pick up the [STONE FROM WHEALBROOK]. Now,head over the bridge to the left and talk to man tilling his garden. He willtell you about the Whealstone bluestones.

NOTE If you don't find the stone in the well, and talk to the farmer, then youwon't find this item in the cave. Believe me, I checked! However, there isanother chance to find it much later in the game, if you happen to miss it now.

Page 22: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Enter the weapon shop and there is a [MEDICINAL HERB] inside the cupboard. Bynow you'll notice that excess items get placed in the bag. You can only carry12 items, but the bag has endless capacity, so no worries about running out ofspace. Also, press Y and you'll see the layout of the town. There's the weaponshop, item shop, inn and church, and you should save your game there beforegoing any further afield. Bianca is staying at the inn, if you want to chat toher again, and her mum will tell you about a missing man, but there's nothingto find in here. If you check out the item shop behind the church, it won't beselling anything just yet, and access to the back room is blocked. You can'tenter the house by the river, so that's everything for now.

You won't be permitted to leave town, so head down the path alongside the riverand you can enter the Whealbrook Adit (cave).

===============================================================================WHEALBROOK ADIT (CAVE) ................................................. *W04===============================================================================

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TASK : Explore the cave and find the missing man. Get to level 4.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Items : Medicinal Herb, 50 Gold, Leather Shield, Wayfarer's Clothes, Handwoven Cape (in town after events)Knick-Knacks: Whealbrook Bluestone (This is turned into the Whealbrook Sapphire later in the game, and is used as part of another Knick-Knack.)Enemies : 001 Slime, 002 Burr Baby, 003 Boring Bug, 004 Dracky, 005 Hammerhood, 006 Bunicorn-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Walk down the left bank of the stream and enter the cave. If you wish to saveon herbs, after fighting a few battles, then leave the cave and return toSancho's house (where you're staying) and you can sleep and heal by talking tohim. You can do this as often as you like until you find the missing man. Thefirst side path to the left has a treasure chest with a [MEDICINAL HERB].

Page 23: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Level up to 3 on the first floor where the enemies are easy to defeat, and thenenter the hole in the second left path that takes you down to the next floor.(Buy the Bamboo Spear if you want to increase your attack power a little, butit's not essential. By the way, if you want to know how much experience ittakes to reach the next level you must talk to the priest and ask forDivination.)

You'll arrive in the middle of a larger cave, First head right and down to finda treasure chest with [50 GOLD]. Watch out for the Hammerhood enemy as it cando a desperate attack that will hurt for anything up to 18 HP, and if there area group of them you could be in trouble. Walk left from the stairs and up pastthe sign and you'll find another chest with a [LEATHER SHIELD]. Equip thisimmediately.

The next floor is reached from a hole at the end of the bottom left path. Walkup the path and you will find the missing man (with the appropriate name ofRockfeller). Speak to him and then, stand next to the rock and agree to pushit. He'll leave, and you can walk up the path to the left and open a treasurechest for [WAYFARER'S CLOTHES], which you can equip. Return to the rock andcheck it, and you will find the [WHEALBROOK BLUESTONE]. Walk down the path tothe right and you'll find a helpful slime that tells you that there are moremonsters in forest and mountain areas than out in the open country.

Keep using Herbs (or sleeping back home) to stay fully healed and when youreach level 4 you'll get the Heal Spell. When you return to the village youcan chat to Bianca's mum and she'll react to the finding of the missing man.Enter the item shop and it will now be open for business and you can sneakilyswipe a [HANDWOVEN CAPE] from the cupboard in the back room, or be polite andtalk to the man you rescued first. If you return home and sleep, then eventswill proceed and you'll leave Whealbrook, like it or not.

When you're back in charge, attempt to leave the room and Bianca will join you.First check the bookshelf at the back of this room and there is someinformation about furry friends. Walk up the stairs to the top floor of the Innand there is a [CHIMAERA WING] inside the left drawers, and a [SEED OFRESILIENCE] in the right. Go through the lower door on the second floor andthis takes you to the balcony where a chap will tell you about the "Toff's TeaSet" at Uptaten Towers. If you exit the door that is opposite the door to theback room you'll find someone in the garden with yet more information about thetoffs and towers.

Leave the inn and explore, though there's nothing else to find. However, if youwalk left over the small bridge, you'll find two boys teasing a cat. Talk tothe them both and there will be a challenge. Defeat the ghosts in UptatenTowers and you can have the cat. However, if you try to leave town you won't bepermitted, so there's nothing for it but to return to the inn and speak toPankraz. That night, Bianca will wake you up and it's time to go ghost hunting!

You can buy weapons and armour at night, but you might want to save up for theBoomerang and Thorn Whip which are excellent weapons for the two of you. I soldoff the excess Pot Lid and Handwoven Cape (Bianca comes ready equipped withthese, as well as a Paring Knife and a Seed of Resilience) and just bought theCopper Sword for now. When you've saved (advisable), set off into the darkwilderness.

The Towers is to the north of Roundbeck, but it's a good plan to do a bit ofgeneral fighting first, in order to gain some gold for better equipment and tolevel up Bianca. She starts at level 1 with no skills or spells, but will

Page 26: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

quickly level up and gain the Frizz spell at level 3. You can return toWhealbrook, but you won't get past the sleeping guard. When you've had enoughfor one night return to the inn and you will automatically go back to bed.After the first trip, speak to Pankraz and you'll find he has a bad cold and soyou're going to stay in Roundbeck for the duration. What this means is that youcan take as long as you like in exploring Uptaten. To progress to the nextnight, walk back downstairs and you'll find Bianca at the table next to the inncounter. Speak to her and agree to sleep. She'll wake you up again, and it'sback to work! That's the pattern of things until you've successfully achievedyour goal.

===============================================================================UPTATEN TOWERS .......................................................... *W06===============================================================================

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TASK : Defeat the ghosts and rescue cat. Find the Toff's Teaset.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Items : Chimaera Wing, Medicinal Herb x3, Silver Tea Tray, Handwoven Cape, Silver Teacup, 30 Gold, Seed of Strength, Torch, Chimaera Wing, Silver Teapot.Story Item : GOLD ORBKnick-Knacks: Collect all three Silver items to make the Toff's Teaset.Enemies : 004 Dracky, 009 Funky Ferret, 010 Bubble Slime, 011 Fat Rat, 012 Bona Constrictor, 025 Ghost, 026 Wax Murderer.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------MAP : http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/ds/file/942423/55988-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From Roundbeck walk west, until you reach the coastline, and then head northuntil you are stopped by some mountains. Go east and you'll find the Towers.There is an alternative route that involves crossing a couple of small bridgesto the north west of Roundbeck where Jailcats can be encountered. Enter the

Page 27: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

tower when both of you are at least level 6, and have upgraded your equipment,as you won't find anything useful inside the Towers and the enemies are tough.I bought the Thorn Whip for Bianca and the Leather Dress when I could affordit.

-------Arrival-------The front door is locked and so is the door inside the underground caveentrance near the fire. Head to the right and break the two pots for a[CHIMAERA WING] and a [MEDICINAL HERB], and then continue around to the back ofthe building. (Use the DS shoulder buttons to change the view so you can seethe steps that lead up to the roof of the castle.) Climb to the top (there isanother locked door to the right if you walk along the balcony). When you enterthe tower you'll be locked in and a Chimaera Wing won't take you out, sothere's nothing for it, but to carry on until you find an exit. You are onfloor 7 and in a room with lots of coffins. Ignore these (there's nothinginside any of them...) and approach the stairs to floor 6. Bianca willdisappear so Hero is now alone.

-------Floor 6-------On floor 6, walk up between some statues and enter a door to the left. Thisleads to the top balcony where you'll see two gravestones. (If you enter thedoor here, you'll be in a library and can meet the Countess, but there is noexit from this room, although one of the shelves has a Collection of LovePoems.) Check the left gravestone and you'll find Bianca. Go through the doorto the library and speak to the countess who will now reveal a staircase to thelower floor.

------------------------Floor 6 - Secret Statue!------------------------Once you have Bianca back in the team, return to the room with the 6 statuesand investigate the middle one at the left as you face the stairs. It will keepturning to follow your movements after the initial attempt to talk to it, but

Page 28: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

talk to it again and it comes alive! It looks much like a terracotta warriortype enemy that you won't meet until a little later in the game. At Level 6hero will do around 11 points of damage and Bianca's Frizz does a bit more thanthat. Use Dazzle on it, and Kasap will lower its defence if Bianca has reachedLevel 7, when she learns that spell.

The statue does around the same in response and with Dazzle in place there's agood chance its attacks will miss. However, there's also a chance that it willdo a desperate attack which causes around 30-40 damage and can kill Biancaoutright. His other option is to assess the situation and do nothing at all.He's not too difficult to beat (even without Bianca's help) with around 100 HP,and you get 85 experience points and 70 Gold, as well as a treasure chest. Thiscontains a Seed of Resilience which is a nice bonus. After the battle thestatue will be gone. Continue past the two graves (you can use a Chimera Wingnow if you wish to leave) into the library. (Many thanks to chaoyun2k forinformation about this optional battle.)

--------------Floor 5, and 4--------------There are still no monsters to fight, so take your time to explore the largebedroom. The cupboard in the bottom left corner contains the [SILVER TEATRAY], and the one opposite on the far wall has a [MEDICINAL HERB]. The nextone has [HANDWOVEN CAPE]. Chat to the Countess who's sitting on one of thesofas, and then walk through the Silver Door to the right. Here you'll see achandelier on the floor and a broken floor. Either jump down the hole ordescend the stairs, but either way, you'll find yourself in an area that's darkand contains lots of ghosts, although they won't attack you. There's anotherhole in the floor but it's surrounded by ghosts so you'll have to use thestairs again to reach floor 3. Wait until the lightning strikes and you can seewhere you're going.

----------------Floor 3, 2 and 1----------------Battles start here! You might fall down the hole, which is fine, but the more

Page 29: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

obvious route is to walk left through the door and across a narrow path overthe ground floor. If you go down the hole you'll be in a room on floor 2, witha chatty ghost. Speak to him for some information about the dark world, andthen go through the door to the left that takes you over the main hall. Whenyou reach the room at the far side climb up the stairs and you'll see the countgo through the blue door at the far end of the room.

If you don't fall through the hole, then walk along the path (you can't falloff) and you'll find the Count standing by the stairs and he'll head throughthe blue door onto the balcony. (The stairs near the blue door lead up to anarea with more ghosts that block the way.)

Follow him to the outside balcony and talk to him. You'll have to say yeseventually, but you can say no if you like. After talking to the Count, go backinside and he will glide after you and give more help. You're going to requiresome light, and you will find a [TORCH] in a jar in the basement. He will alsoopen the rusty doors, which means that the front door will open, as well as thedoor to the inn.

Descend the stairs and this takes you to floor 2. Walk through the door to theright crossing back over the lower hall. Then, go down the stairs, and all youneed to do is walk left and you'll be in the main hall. First of all, open thedoor to the entrance hall and then the main door, and now you can freely comeand go without having to go the long way round.

---------------------------Finding the Secret Treasure---------------------------Use a Chimaera Wing to nip back to Roundbeck if you wish, but you might as wellcontinue, because you now have access to an inn. Enter the left door and walkup and speak to the flame innkeeper. Agree to stay, (it's free) and you willfind yourselves back outside with an old man, next to the fire in front of thecave. Walk into the cave and check the door, and now it will open. Follow thepathway to the right and then up the stairs. You are now in the kitchen, but in

Page 30: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

a walled off area. The right TC has the [SILVER TEACUP], the middle one [30GOLD] and the left a [SEED OF STRENGTH]. Head back down the stairs and outsideagain. Go back inside the Towers and this time head left and down the stairs inthe inn area to the kitchen.

-----------The Kitchen-----------There are two pots in the top right corner of the kitchen and the [TORCH] is inthe right one. There's a [MEDICINAL HERB] in the left one. If you want a quickway out of the kitchen and a battle, then approach the skeletons and attempt totalk to them. (If you talk to the skeletons before taking the items there won'tbe a battle with them.)

--------------With the Torch--------------Return to stairs in the left room from the main hall and climb up to the nextfloor where the Count will be standing. Head right over the main hall and inthe next room you'll see the treasure chests you cannot reach. Go up the stairsand it will be dark, so open your inventory and select to use the Torch. Theghosts will disappear and now you can jump down the hole, and you'll land nextto the chests. The right one has a [CHIMAERA WING], and the left one has the[SILVER TEAPOT]. Jump down the hole and walk left back across the main hall.Now you can climb the stairs at the top of this room and, after using the Torchagain, the ghosts will disappear. Walk down the room and then right and youwill be at the open door to the boss of this place.

Walk up to him and whatever you answer, you'll drop through a trapdoor down tothe kitchen. (You can repeatedly say No, but eventually you'll have to say Yesto proceed.) After a bit of careful seasoning you'll be back at the main halland have to fight three easy Wax Murderers. They use Frizz spells but theseshouldn't do much damage to you.

Page 31: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

From the main hall walk left and up the two sets of stairs until you reach thedark floor again. Use the Torch once again and this time when you approach theroom with the boss, he will move out onto the balcony. Follow him through thedoors and talk to him to initiate the battle.

o-----------------------------------o| B O S S - HAUNTED HOUSEKEEPER |o-----------------------------------oRewards: 300 Experience each, 180 Gold.

If Bianca is at level 7 then you will have no difficulties at all since she cancast Kasap to lower the monster's defence as well as Dazzle, which willpartially blind him and cause his attacks to miss. He will use Sizzle, whichis a more powerful spell that targets both of you for 12-20 HP damage, andDazzle doesn't stop spells from hitting. Keep healed and use Dazzle again whenthe effects wear off. Other than that, keep hitting him and use Sizz withBianca.

After the battle you'll be forced to forgive the monsters, even if you don'twant to. The Count and Miss Count will leave you the gift of a GOLD ORB, andyou'll be back at the two graves. From here you can use a Chimaera Wing or walkback down and collect any treasure that you missed. There are no more monstershere. Ever! Also, I've been informed by a very reliable source (thank youchaoyun2k!) that there are no monsters on the world map for the time being.

-----------Return Home-----------As soon as you enter Roundbeck it will be the end of this adventure, and thenext day there will be a scene with the boys and the cat. Bianca will offer aseries of names and you can accept one or not. Eventually she will start thelist again with the name Saber (I've used this name). Pick the one you want,and you now have a new party member!

Save your game at the church, and you might think about stripping Bianca of allher stuff, since you won't be seeing her for a while yet, but in fact the game

Page 32: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

does this for you. You should have enough cash by now to buy the Boomerang orsome better armour for Hero, and it's the last chance ever to buy the Hairbandas the items for sale change by the time you visit here again. When you'reready, talk to Pankraz who is waiting for you at the door to the inn. He'llgive you a chance to say your last goodbyes if there's anything you'veforgotten, and then heads off back to Whealbrook with you in tow. Bianca givesyou her ribbon as you leave. If you have a battle on the way, your new ally,Saber, will join in the fray. Yep, you've got a fighting cat!

NOTE: If you sleep at the inn, you will wake up back in Whealbrook. To returnto Faerie Lea, go down to the basement and up the magic stairs again.

The route to Faerie Lea is a slightly convoluted one. After your success atUptaten Towers, you will be back in Whealbrook, and Pankraz is busy and tellsyou to amuse yourself, but not leave town. Wander around the place (with Saberand his ribbon) and you'll find out that weird things are happening. There isalso a new arrival standing next to the church. If you speak to him, you'llhave to show him your Gold Orb. (I could make a joke about golden balls, but Iwon't.) By the way, you might think this is an essential encounter, but itisn't, so there's no need to worry if you happen to miss it.

Now, investigate the other odd occurrences. Check with Sancho, the lady in thefirst house, the Innkeeper, the barman, and...look carefully and you will see aghostly figure next to the bar directly opposite the stairs that lead down fromthe ground floor of the inn.

Talk to the apparition, and then head back home to Sancho's house and go downinto the cellar. Here you will find Honey, the faerie. Who could resist aninvitation to faerie land? Well, even if you try, there's no point, sinceyou'll end up there anyway.

This is an icy realm, and Treacle (the leader) will explain that the Herald ofSpring, one of the faerie treasures, is missing. It's been stolen, and withoutit spring will never arrive, and the poor things are condemned to everlastingwinter. Agree to help them, and Honey will join the party. (I kept hoping torun into a faerie called Golden Syrup but maybe that's just a British thing.)Go down the stairs and there is a church where you can save your game beforesetting forth. Honey joins you at level 7 and she has the Heal spell, as well

Page 34: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

as a full set of equipment, but you cannot change her stuff or directly controlher.

Take the stairs down to the next level and this is a library where you can findout a little more about where you should go. North, of course! Leave thelibrary by the doors at the bottom of the screen. Walk directly south acrossthe ice and you will be on a snow covered island. Look closely to your rightand there is something gold and sparkling on the ground. You can pick up a[SEED OF LIFE].

Continue, and you will enter the village. There is a Village Shop inside theinn, selling pretty much the same stuff you've seen already. However you canbuy Stone Fangs for Saber. Talk to the skeleton and say no, and he will giveyou some information about a Dwarf who knows about locks.

The Armour shop is over to the right, and there is a [HOLY WATER] inside in thecupboard. You could invest in the Leather Kilt for Saber to boost his defenceby quite a bit. When you start exploring you'll find that Saber and Honeycannot be directly controlled, although Honey will act sensibly and heal youwhen needed. Saber (and any monster you recruit later on) won't respond to yourorders until his Wisdom reaches 20 points.

From Faerie Lea, walk to the west following the line of woods, and then gonorth towards the mountains at the west of the map. Here you'll find a caveopening.

Once inside, walk down and then left to find two treasure chests containing [25Gold] and [100 GOLD]. Talk to the slime and Dwarf in the central room andyou'll find out that Dwight has gone off somewhere, and the item you need islocked away in a chest. Continue heading down the passage to a hole in thefloor.

There is another hole just to your left when you arrive at the bottom of thestairs, but this just leads to an empty cave with a fellow adventurer and aharmful pond of purple. Instead, head up the cave and take the first turning tothe right to find the next stairs down.

Walk right a few steps, and you'll find a chest with a [SEED OF AGILITY]. Takethe next path to the right and there is another hole in the ground stair. Godown here and north and you'll find the book ['LOTS ABOUT LOCKS']. Head back tothe blue doors and they will magically open. There's another treasure chest onthe other side, with [128 GOLD]. Down the screen is another chest with a [SEEDOF LIFE]. Open the doors next to it and climb up the stairs. Walk left and upthe stairs ahead of you. Then go left again and down the cave to find thestairs back to the first floor. You can chat to the dwarf again if you wish,but you don't need to. (And you won't find Dwight just yet.)

After this short excursion head back to Faerie Lea, and you might want to buybetter equipment as well as sleep at the inn. If you do that, you'll wake upback in Whealbrook. Go down to the basement again to return to Faerie Lea.

===============================================================================THE WINTER PALACE ....................................................... *W09===============================================================================

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 36: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

TASK : Beat the boss to obtain the Herald of Spring for the Faeries.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Items : Seed of Wisdom, Chimaera Wing, 5 Gold, Boomerang, Herald of Spring.Knick-Knacks: Blooming Branch (on return to Whealbrook)Enemies : 018 Prestidigitator, 024 Drackyma, 028 Spiked Hare, 029 Brrrattling Snake,Area Enemies: 012 Bona Constrictor, 013 Lickspittle, 016 Mental Pitcher, 018 Prestidigitator, 019 Cactiball.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------MAP : http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/ds/file/942423/56017-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WARNING: After completing this task, the Winter Palace will disappear, so makesure to obtain all treasure, although most of it is not worth the effort. Youalso might want to fight a dozen or so of every enemy here, if you aim tocomplete your list of all monsters and the items they drop.

Before setting out, make sure you have some spare Medicinal Herbs and the bestarmour you can afford. This place specialises in groups of enemies that canhurt you badly, and you've got to walk all the way there. Walk to thenorth-west area of the map where you can see a small lake. Enter the cavernand first of all walk/slide left along the ice to find a chest containing a[SEED OF WISDOM]. The Brrrattling Snake enemies can pose a problem if they turnup in groups, which they will. They use an ice spell on everyone which can do alot of damage if three of them use this during one turn. Keep healed, althougheven if someone 'dies' they will be restored to life after the battle ends, andyou can heal them back to full health. You'll also notice that Hero moves witha sliding motion progressing four steps at once. And, yes, you've guessedalready, this is going to be one of those sliding puzzle places.

--------Entrance--------After learning the lock lore from the book in the Dwarf's cave you can open thedoor. You are faced with a room of ice blocks, and a hole directly in front ofyou. Slide forwards and drop down to the next floor.

Page 37: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

---------Floor 2 A---------Slide up one step and then left, then up to the block at the left side of theroom, then right as far as your slide takes you. Go up, then right and up, andyou will be at the stairs back up to the main floor.

-------------------Treasure - Optional-------------------If you want to get the treasure, then it's a long journey and you'll end upwith insufficient MP for the boss fights, so you will probably need to leaveand return. I did, anyway. From the stairs, on Floor 1, slide all the way downas far as you can go. Then slide left, up as far as you can go, left, to an iceblock, down to another, left again to the wall and down all the way to thestairs down to another Floor 2 (B)

Floor 2 B bottom left chest contains a [CHIMAERA WING], the top right chest isempty, and the top left one contains [5 GOLD]. Here's how to reach them.From the stairs, slide up, left down and left to reach the chest in the bottomleft corner. Then, slide right twice, and up twice and you can slide left andup one step to the chest in the upper left corner. The third chest is empty, soit's back to the stairs. Slide down, right twice, and down to the bottom walland then right to the stairs. When back on Floor 1, slide up and right and downto reach the hole, and you'll be back on Floor 2 A.

-------------Route to Boss-------------From the stairs, slide down twice, and then left to the ice block and up, thenright to another block and down. From here it's a straight line to the stairsup to the boss floor.

Ground Floor (Boss)From the stairs slide left to the ice block, down to the wall, left to anotherblock, down to the wall and left one step to a block. Then slide up, left, downto the wall and right, and from here you can head straight up to the waiting

dwarf.

o---------------------o| B O S S - DWIGHT |o---------------------oRewards: 105 experience, 50 Gold. You might also get a Magic Water from him ifyou've nearly run out of MP.

This isn't really much of a fight, as Dwight doesn't use any spells, and willjust heal himself when he's lost a lot of HP. Keep hitting him and keep healed.Now, the REAL boss will turn up.

o---------------------------o| B O S S - WINTER QUEEN |o---------------------------oRewards: 650 Experience, 200 Gold, Chimaera Wing.

The Winter Queen is no pushover, especially if you're running low on MP anddon't have many Medicinal Herbs left. You can only control Hero so you've gotto rely on Saber and Honey being sensible, though Saber only has two options:attack or defend. If you've got sufficient MP to spare from healing, then Herocan use the Buff spell to protect a bit, but I didn't.

The Cool Breath attack will hurt you and Saber for around 15 HP or moredepending on levels and equipment, but Honey won't be damaged as much.Sometimes she will take a deep breath on one turn and on the next do herpowerful magic attack, so you can defend if you wish to decrease the damage.Crack is a one person ice attack for around 20 HP. Hope that Honey uses Kasapor Dazzle, but if she doesn't there's not much you can do about that. The Queenalso heals herself when her HP is getting low, so you'll know there's not muchlonger to go!

After the battle Dwight the White Dwarf departs, and you can open the twotreasure chests. The left one has a [BOOMERANG] and the right has the [HERALDOF SPRING] item. Now you have to get out of there as a Chimaera Wing won'twork. Slide down and right, then up and right to reach the stairs. In the nextroom head down, then right, down and then left, and down again to reach theentrance. Once you return to Faerie Lea you can't sleep in the inn again as

Page 39: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

everyone knows you've been successful in your quest, so that's the end of youraccess here for some time.

-------------------------------Final Events and a Knick-Knack!-------------------------------Enter the tree place and go upstairs to find Treacle in the throne room. Talkto her, and Honey will give you a branch. After a pause for some pretty action,you'll be back in Whealbrook. Head up the stairs, and after getting a messagefrom Sancho about dad, go to leave, and Sancho will stop you. He will put theflowering branch in your room. Follow him, and take the [BLOOMING BRANCH]knick-knack.

Go to the church as usual, no doubt expecting to save your game, and you'llfind that Pankraz is there. You can save after talking to him, and then meet upat the town gate.

NOTES: Blooming Branch and Purple StrangerI had thought that if you miss the Blooming Branch now, there's no chance toget it later, but in fact you can. It is found inside the basement room ofSancho's house. See the Knick-Knacks section in the lists for more details.

By the way, the purple stranger has gone by this point, so if you missedtalking to him the chance is gone forever... Fortunately, this doesn't matterat all. The game is designed so you cannot mess up. Anything you have to do,you'll be able to, and anything you don't have to do, well, you'll find outwhat happens eventually.

Pankraz leads you and your cat to Coburg, and all the way to the King's throneroom. At this point you're told to go off and amuse yourself. The room abovethe King is guarded and the two side doors lead out to the roof, so to saveyourself trouble, just head down the stairs and take the door to the right. At

Page 41: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

the end of this hall is another door and in here you'll find Prince Harry.Agree to be his lackey, (you don't really get any choice about this), and thenexplore the castle.

You need to talk to everyone before events will proceed. That's the queen andWilbur, the Chamberlain who's found on a balcony on the roof, the people in thekitchen, the guards, and a nun. Head to the dining room (up the stairs at theleft of the entrance hall) for some revealing information from all threepeople. (There's a blue locked door here which you'll be able to open when youget the Castle Key a bit later in the game.)

There's a [SEED OF MAGIC] in the left chest in the church's bedroom, butnothing else in any drawers or pots. You'll know when you've spoken to everyonebecause Pankraz will have gone when you return to see the king. (He's alwaysrunning off.) Now you'll find that you've got to make friends with Harry. Goback down the stairs and take the door to the right that leads to Harry's room,and you'll find Pankraz. Enter Harry's room and talk to him. Now he's a littlemore pleasant and you can open the chest in the next room, but it's empty. He'splaying silly buggers. He's not in his room, but if you check the spot where hewas standing (to the right of the door next to the table with a plant pot)there is a secret passage.

You'll find Harry in the hall below, but so does someone else. Follow themthrough the door to the right and watch the scene. Go back inside and make yourway back up to the hall where Pankraz is waiting. The route is: out to thegarden, back into the kitchen, left, up the stairs, right into the circularhall and right again.

Speak to Pankraz and follow him, first into Harry's room and then down thesecret stair. He disappears through the door leading to the river and thenaround the corner of the castle and out of view. First time I spent agessearching the river for him... Anyway, don't bother with that, and return tothe town. You'll find an itinerant armour salesman by the bridge to the castle,and can buy some better defensive gear. Might be a good idea to invest in Iron

Page 42: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Armour if you can afford it. Time to raid the town, except there's nothing tofind, although the girl by the bridge tells you about a ruin near town. I thinkwe guessed that already.

Dad has disappeared again, so all you can do is leave town, and find theAncient Ruins. Pankraz doesn't mess about and is hot on the trail, and you needto catch up with him fast.

===============================================================================ANCIENT RUINS ........................................................... *W11===============================================================================

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TASK : Find Pankraz, then find Harry.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Items : 180 Gold, Antidotal Herb, T'n'T Ticket, Seed of Strength, Monster Munchies, Elfin Elixir.Enemies : 027 Lesionnaire, 029 Brrrattling Snake, 030 Healslime, 033 Sizzard, 035 Terracotta Warrior, 036 Eyelasher, 037 Slime Knight, 038 Bag o' Laughs, 039 Brownie,Area enemies: 001 Slime, 030 Healslime, 031 Screwball Pitcher, 033 Sizzard, 037 Slime Knight, 038 Bag o' Laughs, 039 Brownie,-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are lots of enemy groups on the way to the Ancient Ruins and if you arehaving any trouble with them, then fight a while, and use a Chimera Wing tozoom back to Coburg to heal and replenish supplies. The inn only costs 12 goldfor the two of you, so it's worth while. If you run into lots of Slime Knightsand Healslimes then you could have a tussle to defeat them all, since not onlydo they heal each other, but the Slime Knights will drain your magic. Don'tenter the cave without MP or Medicinal Herbs. Try to be around level 12 forhero and 10 for Saber.

Head south of the castle to skirt around the mountains, and then east towardsthe coast, and north until you see a purple pond with a sign stuck in it. Avoidthat poisonous water and go north to find the cave opening to the north east of

Page 43: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

the pond. Remember that you cannot use a Chimaera Wing inside a dungeon, andyou'll have to walk out if you want to leave. One warning, after teaming upwith Pankraz you won't be allowed to leave the Ruins.

---------------Finding Pankraz---------------There is nothing to find, and no enemies, in the entrance room, so carry oninto the next area where you'll see Pankraz about to fight three enemies. Youcannot reach him yet, and will have to find a route around the paths. Walkright and follow the path until you can go right again across a small bridge.

Head down the path at the crossroads, and there is a set of stairs. Take theseand walk up to open the first treasure chest containing [180 GOLD COINS).Then, return to the stairs and go back up to the crossroads. This time walkright and up the next set of stairs.

Keep going until you end up back on the ground again, where there is a secondchest with an [ANTIDOTAL HERB]. There is another set of stairs opposite you,but ignore these and walk up to a door. Go inside and chat to the bad menthere. They won't attack. Break the barrels and the second one from the righthas a [T'N'T TICKET]. Leave the room through the door and walk up and all theway around the building, heading back down keeping next to the far right wall.At the corner go left, and nip inside the open doorway for the third chest(SEED OF STRENGTH]. Then, go up the set of stairs. This takes you to a widerpath that leads up to a double wooden doors. Go through here into an area withwater. (Don't bother heading up along the eastern path as there is nothing tofind.)

Turn left and down the stairs and back down the screen, and you'll be in anarrow path between sets of pillars. Follow this to the left, and through theopen doorway that leads to the room with Pankraz and the enemies. You mightwant to heal up before joining in the battle, but it's not necessary.

Once he joins you, and after beating up the monsters (a Slime Knight, Dracky

Page 44: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

and Prestidigitator), you can take your time and find all the treasure if youmissed any. In fact, you can even return here later in the game and you'll finda wandering warrior to talk to, though no enemies.

--------Waterway--------With Pankraz in the team now, walk forwards onto the small square in themiddle of the area and this will open the door ahead. Go through the door intothe Waterway. You cannot control Pankraz but he's fast and furious and battlesare easy from now on. Hop on the handy raft and move off to the left and downthe screen to find a chest with [MONSTER MUNCHIES].

Keep going up following the channel as it zigzags to the top right of the room,and let Pankraz do all the work! You could spend a fair bit of time fightingwith him before progressing the story, as he will heal you as well asdispatching all enemies. There is another chest by the north wall, with theuseful [ELFIN ELIXIR] which heals all MP. Keep heading right and you'll seethat you are back at the area where you walked before meeting Pankraz. Hop offhere if you want to retrieve any treasure left behind.

Ride the raft up the room under the overhang and events will take over. You'llend up with Prince Harry in your team, and lose Pankraz. Not a fair exchange, alevel 1 brat to look after, and you cannot control him in battle. He isequipped with a Bronze Knife and Prince's Outfit, not that it makes anydifference.

Hop back on the raft and ride back down to the main cave. There are no moreenemies to fight, and in fact there's a short cut to save trudging around allthose pathways again. Sail all the way to the lower left of the waterways, towhere you found the treasure chest with the Monster Munchies. Stop on theisland to the right of this chest and there is a doorway between two torches inthe right wall. This takes you back to the area near the entrance. Go throughthe opening and you're nearly out of the Ruins, but then...

Page 45: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Not really a boss battle, because this is one you can't win. As soon as heroloses all his HP, it's over. Just don't waste any healing items, especiallythat precious Elfin Elixir. After this, stuff happens, and there is a battlewith Slon the Rook and Kon the Knight. Not so good, but this is the end of theChildhood (Generation One) section of the game.

SLAVE QUARRY-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TASK : Find Harry and Maria's brother. Sleep. Fight. Escape.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------It's now 10 years later, and you start in somewhat inauspicious circumstances,to say the least. You have no items, no equipment besides Serf Wear, and yourstatus might be described as near death, with 1 HP and no MP. The good news isthat you've kept your levels, and you can control Hero. Hero is likely to be atLevel 11/12.

Page 47: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

You're in a large area with many guards and slaves, however, they don't seem tobother you too much and you can walk around and chat to anyone with impunity.Walk up the ramp and under the archway, and then climb either set of stairs upto a large area out in the open. There's a grand view of mountains, but you'renot here to sight-see. Walk down the area to the right and you'll find a greenhaired Harry for a brief review of the last ten years. After chatting to him,walk left and you'll find a small hole in the floor. Go down these stairs andtalk to the soldier you'll find there. (If you head down the room through theopening and then left through another, you'll end up in a graveyard and thenext room is a prison, with nothing to find.) Return to the open air platform,and it will be the end of the day's work.

You'll awaken in full health and locked inside a sleeping area with otherslaves. You have to talk to every single one of them, even the ones apparentlystill sleeping, to progress the story. Once everyone has left the room, followthem through the door (it's the one that was locked, inside the room with thesoldier) and then up the stairs to the upper area. Now, walk down one of theramps back to the lower area where you started out.

You'll run into Harry and a scene. Talk to Harry and he gets involved. You canchat to the other people, but nothing will happen until you join Harry and talkto one of the guards with a whip.

o------------------------------o| B O S S - SLAVE-DRIVER x2 |o------------------------------oYou and Harry have to fight two Slave Drivers. Although you don't have weaponsyou DO have your spells, so use these. Harry should cast Frizz and make sure tokeep him healed. You could also use Buff on him since he's still at level 1.You get 100 Experience and 120 Gold, and this will raise Harry's level to 3.However, you both get chucked into jail for your trouble.

Talk to Harry, who's surprisingly philosophical about your predicament and liesdown to rest, but talk to him again and something will happen. Walk into the

barrel to end your time of slavery. (I felt like shouting BARREL! like they doin Atelier Iris games.)

You'll awaken in near darkness, but just move and the room will be brightlylit. Talk to the nun and you will have all your gear back. Open the door andHarry is waiting for you. After a short ceremony, you'll be free to move again.The room at the back of the church has a book entitled "The Maiden ofAbovitall Tower", and yes, you can read now. Slave school, I guess.

Head back up the stairs and you'll find Maria in the room at the right. Talk toher and she'll give you [1000 GOLD COINS]. Go down the stairs in this room andhead up through the rooms to the last one. The nun there will give you a [CRUDEIMAGE]. This is a Knick-Knack and it's also an accessory that will boost yourluck by 15 points. Might as well equip it now. The little girl will mention abig town to the north of the Abbey, your next destination. That's all in theAbbey, so it's time to leave, unless you want to climb up to the bell tower fora nice view. Harry will be waiting at the gate. Tell him you're ready to go andhe'll offer to join you. After more farewells you can finally depart.

You're free to go wherever you like, but the next destination has already beensuggested, and it's a good place to go, as well as being only a few steps tothe north.

There's nothing to find inside the well at the north-east corner, butthere is a [MEDICINAL HERB] inside the chest of drawers in the house next doorto it, and you can speak to Mystic Mridula here. She'll tell your fortune eventhough it's daytime, but she'll give more details if you stop by her stall atnight. It's the small counter to the right of the church.

Keep going left along the north wall and you can pop through the door and chatto some kids, or enter the hole in the floor leading to the town jail. Youcan't do much in here now, but later on you'll be able to open the cells.

Go inside the Casino and you'll spot two holes in the floor next to the MonsterArena. The right one leads to a room with slimes wandering around, (theSlurpodome - slime racing) and there is a [T'N'T TICKET] in the top left pot.The left hole leads to the T'N'T board and you can have a go at this and see ifyou can reach the finish. One ticket per round! Walk to the top of the mainfloor and you'll find the dancer's dressing room. Simply walk onto the stage

and then down the steps to the left to enter it. Raid the cupboards here for a[SILVER TIARA] in the left one, and a [SILK ROBE] in the right. (Even thoughno-one can equip these, don't sell them yet.)

Walk to the left of the entrance and you'll see a walled area with a hole inthe floor. Descend the stairs and you'll find Monty the Monster Trainer. He'llexplain how to go about recruiting monsters, and that you need a wagon. There'sa [POT LID] in the pot close to the bed and [MONSTER MUNCHIES] in the onenearest the entrance.

-----------------Getting the Wagon-----------------There are lots of fun things to do in Fortuna, and you could spend money andtime in the casino as well as purchasing better equipment, but the priority isthe Wagon. When you're done raiding the town and talking to everyone(optional), leave town and walk around for a few seconds, and day will turn tonight. Fortuna at night has different people wandering around, and the shopsare closed. You can talk to the Mystic woman who has a stall next to thechurch, and she'll tell you to go north, young man!

From the entrance to the town, walk left and up, keeping close to the left wallwhere you'll find a sign, and a soldier who'll tell you about the shop in thecorner. It's only open at night. Second time playing all I wanted to do was tostart recruiting and see who I could add to my team, and that's not a bad plan.You're going to need a range of skills and the more monsters you can recruitthe better, and the sooner you get them, the better too, because not only willthey make battles much easier to win, but they will gain the same amount ofexperience as you and Harry.

Enter the Old Curiosity Shop in the north-west corner. Agree to buy the Wagonfor 300 Gold. Visit Monty the "monster monitor" if you haven't already done so,and you're good to go!

The local monsters include quite a number that can be recruited, such as theJailcat, Brownie, Slime and Healslime (if you're very lucky). Make sure to

Page 52: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

equip any that join, as their starting level is 1 and they can be killed offeasily. Also, equip Harry before starting to fight. The Chain Whip is a goodweapon for him as it attacks groups of enemies, and you could upgrade Hero'sboomerang and buy the Edged Boomerang. But if you want to save your cash, tryout the T'n'T board instead, as it's quite easy to win, and one of the prizesis an Edged Boomerang. There are two armour shops in Fortuna, and the one withthe body armour is the stall to the left of the Church.

You could test out your skills on the T'n'T board for the first time, andattempt to reach the Finish, where you'll find two treasure chests with theprizes of [EDGED BOOMERANG] and a [MINI MEDAL]. This board is verystraightforward, and each of the two warp tiles simply sends you across to theother one. You have to land directly on the finish tile to access the prizes,and if you overshoot, then you'll go backwards. You can keep going and tryingto land on the Finish line until you run out of rolls of the dice.

There was a hint from the Mystic woman about going north, and from the worldmap it's easy to see that Whealbrook isn't that far away. Also, at some point,you might want to take Harry back to Coburg and see what's happened to thekingdom in his long absence.

From Fortuna, travel over the bridge and then head north-east, until you seethe gate by the river, that leads to Coburg. You won't be permitted throughhere, but Whealbrook is close by, just to the north. It's going to be a bit ofa shock when you arrive. The item shop is now the inn, and the church stillsurvives, but that's about all. However, you can finally access the old man'shouse by the river. Go inside and he'll recognise you, and tell you aboutsomething precious that Pankraz hid away in the cave. There's a [SEED OFWISDOM] inside the pot in his house. Talk to the nun in the church for moreinformation about what happened to the place.

Now, head through the old man's house and you can use the raft to ride into thecave from this side of the river.

Page 56: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If your Hero reaches level 14 by this point, he will learn the spell EVAC. Thisis handy since it means you can evacuate most dungeons instantaneously. Notethat you cannot take the Wagon in here, which means that you cannot change youractive party once inside, although this won't prevent you from recruitingmonsters.

Ride up the water until you reach a small island and disembark to descend thestairs. Head down the next stairs to a larger area. You will spot a treasurechest at the top of the screen, so follow the path up to this for [850 GOLDCOINS]. Walk back to the first junction and turn left, and then head up to findanother set of stairs down.

-------Floor 3-------You'll arrive facing left and just follow your nose along the path until youfind two treasure chests at the far end with an [IRON CUIRASS] and [SEED OFAGILITY]. By the way, the Wrytle enemy resists physical attacks and it'squicker to use a spell on these, and you might also run into a few Metal Slimeson this floor. With luck you'll defeat one and gain a nice amount ofexperience. They are recruitable but it's unlikely you'll manage it at thisstage of the game. Come back later!

Take the stairs that lead up from this floor, (just down from the two chests)and you'll be on a small floor with lots of stones. The idea is make these fallto the lower floor so you can cross the water. Just walk over them all and theyhalf disappear. You won't fall, though, and can use the stairs down to Floor 3.You can now access the stony area and open the treasure chest for a [NIGHTLIGHT] and reach the stairs to the right of the stones. (The Night Light is oneof those handy things that you might never use. It summons nightfall as manytimes as you like.)

-------Floor 4

Page 57: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

-------This is a large area and your target is to find the stairs. You arrive at thetop right corner, and the stairs are all the way down at the far end. There areno treasure chests to distract you, but there are ponds in the way...why youcan't just wade through I don't know. From the start go all the way to theleft, and then right and down between the pillars to find the stairs.

-------Floor 5-------Search the cupboard to find a [LEATHER KILT] and open the chest for [PANKRAZ'SLETTER]. This informs you about the legendary hero and the Zenithian equipmentthat only he can use. You need to track him down in order to rescue your motherwho is in Nadiria, the dark realm. Now, your task is set. Find the LH(legendary hero) and all the Zenithia Equipment and save your mother! You canpull out the [ZENITHIA SWORD], but...you cannot equip it. However, you CAN useit as an item during fights, and it has the neat power of being able to nullifyenemy magic, such as boosts to defence or attack power. Leave by the way youcame in, OR use Evac, and the raft will be back where you started.

You should also take a trip to Roundbeck for more news of Coburg and the eventsof the past 10 years. In fact, this is the only way to gain access through thegate back to Coburg. Head north to the area near Uptaten for some morepotential monster recruits.

You're old enough to drink now, so head for the bar, but refuse a drink, andthe girl will open the door to the back room. Here you'll find a man who knowsmore about the LH (legendary hero), at least, he tells you the names of thefour pieces of Zenithia equipment you've got to find. Take a quick trip downthe hole in the corner of the room and you'll find a pot with a [MINI MEDAL]and a red locked door. You will be able to access this much later in the game,but leave it for now. Chat to the old man and nun in the inn for some moreinformation

Head to the inn and talk to the woman in the back room for some information andshe'll tell you to stay two nights and you'll get a souvenir. Stay one nightand Harry will wake you up for a chat. He wants to take a trip back to Coburgand he's terribly polite about it. Stay two nights while you're here, (any twonights will do, so head off and fight a bit and then return when you're ready)

Page 59: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

and you will receive the [ZIZZWIZZ PILLOW]. This knick-knack can also be usedas a battle item to put enemies to sleep and it never breaks...pillows don't.

After you're done in Roundbeck walk back east to the gatehouse by the river,and this time Harry will intervene and Frank O'Phobe (get it?) will let youpass. From the Gatehouse on the far side of the river, walk due north andyou'll arrive at Coburg.

===============================================================================COBURG CASTLE .......................................................... *W18===============================================================================

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TASK : Find your way inside the Castle and speak to the King.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Items : Steel Fangs, Shellmet, Iron Armour, 1200 Gold and Seed of Life.Mini Medal : 02MM Coburg: Corner Pot in secret room. Need Coburg Castle Key.Knick-Knacks: NoneEnemies : 037 Slime Knight(R), 047 Walking Corpse(R), 051 Wrytle, 056 Eyepod, 055 Grudgergiar(R), 052 Legerdeman.Area Enemies: 032 Fandangow(R), 037 Slime Knight(R), 048 Owlbear, 049 Powie Yowie(R), 053 Small Fry(R)Recruit : Try and recruit a Slime Knight if nothing else!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE ON RECRUITMENTIf you are having difficulties recruiting monsters then raise your levels abit. I found that with Hero at level 14 I was recruiting all the 'easy torecruit' monsters at the first battle. Maybe having the Crude Image equippedmight have helped, although I believe that your luck stat is irrelevant.

If you come across a lot of Powie Yowies be very careful, since they can makeeveryone freeze with fear which means they won't do anything and can easily getpummelled to within an inch of life. Make use of your additional party membersand switch them into battle, and use all enemy attack spells such as Bang (withHarry) or a sleep or poison spell.

Page 60: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

If you arrive at Coburg during the night, then the drawbridge will be up andyou'll have to wait until the morning, although you can glean a littleinformation from a couple of people. The inn is expensive with 8 party members,but you could just fight some more to make the time pass til daybreak. Help outthe beggar children and chat to the people you find in the daytime, and thenenter the Castle.

-------------------------Getting inside the Castle-------------------------From the entrance hall go left and up the stairs, and talk to the diners andguards in the dining hall, if you like. You'll find out a little more about thecurrent state of the kingdom, but you can't get any further into the castle. Asyou leave, Harry will remember a secret way in. Leave the building and walk tothe right, along the narrow path between the castle and the river, and you'llfind a raft. Ride the raft around to the drawbridge and stop. There is a secretentrance going under the castle entrance. Once inside, move off the raft andstand on the yellow mark in the middle of the platform, and this will open adoor. Go inside and you're in the secret underground area of the castle.

----------------------Exploring the Dungeons----------------------Although you won't have the option to switch party members, all monsters in thewagon will still gain experience, even though they are not with you. There's alocked door to the left, so walk right instead, and follow the corridor. Godown the hole in the floor to the next level. Walk left as far as you can go,and then up to find two treasure chests with [STEEL FANGS] in the left one anda [SHELLMET] monster helmet, in the other. Walk back and then up the otherpassage where you'll find some prison cells, but nothing else. Carry onfollowing the passage and you'll arrive at a single cell with a woman claimingto be the Queen Dowager, but you can't do anything other than hear hercomplaints.

At the end of passage take the stairs up, walk forwards, and stand on the

Page 61: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

yellow mark in the floor and this opens the door to the right, which enablesyou to leave and return quickly if you wish. Climb the stairs, and you'reinside the Castle Garden. There are no more monsters and you can talk to theguards if you wish. Go through the large doors into the kitchen, and out by theleft door, and up the stairs. Walk right, into the large circular hall, and upthe stairs to the throne room where you'll meet King Wilbur. Wilbur gives Harrythe Key to Coburg and asks you to check out a mysterious mirror.

Return to the garden area (the two dogs running around are in fact monsters!)and this time, open the door to the right of the kitchen door. Inside here isthe hallway where Harry was kidnapped all those years ago. Use the key to openthe door to the river if you wish, and you can nip back around to the front ofthe castle and save your game, and heal up at the inn. With this key you canalso open the blue door off the dining hall, and find three treasure chests:[IRON ARMOUR], [1200 GOLD] and [SEED OF LIFE]. To get there, just go up thestairs at the left of the main hall on the ground floor (opposite the church).Return to the hallway between the river and the garden.

With this key you can open the blue locked door in Harry's hallway. Break thepots to find a [MINI MEDAL] inside the corner one, and you'll find an ancientdiary in the right bookshelf. It tells of a teleporter and an ancient towerwhere a powerful mirror can be found. Go down the hole in the floor and heypresto, what's here?! Yep, a teleporter. Step inside!

===============================================================================ABOVITALL TOWER ......................................................... *W19===============================================================================

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TASK : Obtain Ra's Mirror at the top of the tower. Return to Coburg.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Items : 650 Gold, Scale Shield, Seed of Magic, Magic Water, Tombola Ticket (from Harry)

Page 62: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Mini Medals : NoneKnick-Knacks: NoneEnemies : 027 Lesionnaire, 030 Healslime(R), 037 Slime Knight(R), 038 Bag o' Laughs(R), 043 Metal Slime(R), 054 Ruff Ruffian, 053 Small Fry(R), 056 Eyepod, 057 Hulagan(R), 058 Cross Eye(R), 060 Gourdzilla, 062 Restless Armour(R).Area Enemies: 040 Rotten Apple(R), 048 Owlbear, 052 Legerdeman, 054 Ruff Ruffian, 055 Grudgerigar(R).-------------------------------------------------------------------------------MAP : http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/ds/file/942423/56048-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The location of this tower is south of the teleporter arrival temple typeplace. If you want to go back to Coburg through the teleporter, you can only goduring the day. An old man won't let you through at night. This area is southof Heaven's Above Abbey, and you can easily walk back here if you want to saveyour game, or even take a quick trip to Fortuna for a spot of gambling. Infact, you're going to find that you HAVE to visit the Abbey, because the doorto the Tower won't open, and didn't the diary mention something about the keybeing held by a monk?

After finding the door is locked, walk north to the Abbey and enter to findMaria praying at the left of the main church. Before she will say much you needto talk to the nun near the organ. Answer Yes, and Maria will join your party.When you can move (in my game this took what seemed ages before hero could moveagain) return to the Tower. Maria isn't an active party member, but tags along.

Approach the door and Maria will do her stuff. Enter, and go straight forwardsinto the garden where you'll see someone familiar... Head for the stairs in thetop right corner and walk down the corridor on the next floor, to pick up [650GOLD] from a treasure chest. Walk back, and cross the narrow central path tothe south side of this floor. If you fall off you'll be back in the garden onfloor 1. Watch out for the Restless Armour enemies as one stroke from one ofthese can take out someone. I was getting complacent and rolling along nicely,but Hero wasn't at full health when one 75 HP hit suddenly killed him off.

Page 63: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Ouch! The best way to deal with Restless Armours is to put them all to sleepand then kill them off using either the Boomerang/Whip or Swoosh spell withHero, which you'll get at level 16.

---------Floor 3/4---------First of all, walk right, and up the corridor to reach the stairs in the topright corner. On floor 4 walk down the corridor and break the left pot for[MAGIC WATER}. Then return to floor 3. Edge around the central narrow path tothe far side, and open the two chests here for a [SCALE SHIELD] and {SEED OFMAGIC]. There's an exit to the left corridor in the middle of the narrow path.Turn the camera to see it. (Don't fall off, or you'll be back in the gardenagain. Just take it carefully and one step at a time.) Then, take the stairs inthe top left corner up to Floor 4. Head down the corridor and climb the stairsnext to the two flaming urns.

-------Floor 5-------Simple, so far? Well, now the path has a gap, and you can't jump. It's aquestion of guessing correctly or plunging to an ignominious death...well, notreally, since falling from a great height is nothing worse than a minorannoyance. Keep left OR right and you'll walk straight across the invisiblebridge. (The middle path takes you down to the narrow bridge on floor 2.) TakeRa's Mirror from the plinth. (Use the talk option for some comments fromHarry.) Exit the tower using a Chimaera's Wing, or just fall down to thegarden if you want to save on these. One more thing: you cannot enter thistower again unless you have Maria with you, and that's not going to bepossible. If you hope to recruit some of the monsters in here, or plan to fighta few Metal Slimes, then stay awhile longer.

-----------------Coburg Conquered!-----------------Back to Coburg through the teleporter. If you want to make a save beforeprogressing further, then leave the castle by the side door and make your way

Page 64: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

around to the entrance and save at the church. You can also stay at the inn ifneed be. The guard at the left door still won't let you through, so you'll haveto return outside and re-enter through the side door. (If you enter the hole inthe garden back to the dungeons, you'll find that the queen dowager is nolonger in her cell.) To reach the King's room from the side door, enter thedoor to the garden and thence to the kitchen. Go through the left door and upthe stairs, then right to the circular hall, and up the stairs. The king isn'tthere, but you can talk to the Chancellor, and then head up to the top roomwhere you'll find Wilbur and TWO Dowager Queens. Poor Wilbur can't work outwhich is his mother.

Stand in front of one of them and use the Ra's Mirror from the inventory. TheQueen at the right is an elderly lady, and the one on the left has a verydifferent message. Fight!

o---------------------------o| B O S S - FAUX DOWAGER |o---------------------------oReward: 830 experience points, 509 Gold Coins. (Depends on how many allies shecalls.)

Harry can use Kasap on her, to lower her defence, and Hero can use Buff onsomeone if you need to increase your defence against the dowager. Dazzle willwork on her as well, but sleep doesn't appear to have any effect. When shetakes a deep breath, be careful! This might mean that she's about to use apowerful physical attack on one. Defend if you like, and I think she's mostlikely to target Harry, so maybe Buff and defend with him. You cannot replaceanyone who dies so try and keep everyone alive. She will call for back up andthe extra monster could be a Bag 'o Laughs or a Lesionniare.

It's now time to say farewell to Harry. If you got him up to level 15 you'llhave seen his final spell, Holy Protection, and that's as far as it goes withhim. You'll see him again, but he won't fight alongside you again. You'll getall his equipment and he'll donate a [TOMBOLA TICKET] to the cause, if you

Page 65: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

speak to him. He'll also tell you that the ships will be sailing again and youcan find one at Littlehaven. (If you want a quick exit from the castle, then goright or left from the throne room and out onto the roof. A Chimaera Wing willdeposit you outside the town.)

===============================================================================LITTLEHAVEN AND THE BIG BOOK OF BEASTS .................................. *W20===============================================================================

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TASK : Buy the Big Book of Beasts at Fortuna. Take the Boat from Littlehaven-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Return to Fortuna before doing anything else. (Either go back via theteleporter and walk north, or cross the passage under the river and walk southfrom Coburg.) Enter at night and make your way to the Old Curiosity Shop in thetop left corner. Here you can buy the BIG BOOK OF BEASTS at a discounted price!(1000 Gold.) Now you can check up on the details of all monsters you'veencountered so far, though you must be outside town and on the world map toopen the book. Just select to use it from the inventory. By this stage in thegame I had pages 1-3 complete and most of 4. You can also call in on Monty andadd a monster to the line-up now that Harry's gone.

Littlehaven is the small port where you first gained control of Hero after theship landed, right back at the start of the game. It's due south fromWhealbrook, and doesn't look like a port, just a small hut on the world map.Speak to the woman here, and she'll tell you that a ship has landed: at least,she will if it's the daytime. Board the ship, and yes, it's the same one fromthe start of the game, except that you can't explore this time. This is a onetime trip to Lodestar, and you'll be deposited at the dock. Leave the dock areaand you'll be at the edge of the town.

Walk to the right of the dock and all the way around the wall to find a hole inthe stone, and stairs leading down. Monty the Monster Monitor is hiding outthere and you can check up on your monsters and change any if you wish. There'sa [T'N'T TICKET] in the left pot. Then, walk all the way left and you'll findthe Lighthouse. Is there a terrible ogre living there? You'll soon find out ifyou climb to the top room, but there is a [MINI MEDAL] in the chest drawer, soit's worth the effort, and you'll find the Lighthouse keeper's diary in thebookshelf. Try going during the day to discover more. You can look through oneof the telescopes from the pinnacle of the lighthouse. Nice sky. You can use aChimaera Wing to fly out of there if you can't be bothered to climb back downall the stairs.

Head for the bar and you'll get a hint about an old man who can create a spellto make travelling easier. His home town is found in a westerly direction. Talkto the old man at the bar and agree to give him a few coins and you'll learn alittle about Pankraz. The Tombola is under the bar if you go down the hole atthe left of the stage.

Upstairs you can rifle the rooms for a few things. There are [50 GOLD COINS] ina pot in the first room, a [T'N'T TICKET] in the drawers in the second, butnothing in the third. You'll see a couple of treasure chests in the last room.These can only be accessed from the area behind the stage during the daytime,and you'll need a special key to open the room which you don't yet possess.

Page 68: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

During the day (stay at the inn if you want to change the time) you can crossthe stage to the dressing rooms. There is a [SILK APRON] in the secondcupboard. However, you might be stopped in your tracks (depending on which dooryou used to enter the building) by a scene. It's obvious some country hick isabout to get beaten up and robbed, so agree to have some of the action! You'llfight two easy Ruff Ruffians and then agree to take on a task for the farmer.He'll pay you [1500 GOLD] up front, with more to come when you save their cropsfrom a beast. Speak to him again and you'll discover the place is called Hay(...) and it's down south from here.

The man inside the house to the right of the bar will tell you where to find a[MINI MEDAL], in the flower-bed to the right of the church. Talk to the man ingreen who is wandering around here and answer No, and he'll give you moreinformation about the instant travel spell. You can find [100 GOLD] in theflowerbed at the left of the church. Go upstairs inside the Armour/Weapon shopand take the [BOXER SHORTS] from the cupboard.

Now you've got some decent cash, buy some better weapons for your monster team.The Item Shop also sells the Magic Shield, if you can afford that as well, andthis shield deflects damage from magic and fire-based attacks. (If you buy thisshield or a few cheaper items there's a good chance that the owner will giveyou a Tombola Ticket as a thank you.)

You now have two choices. You can walk to Zoomingale in the west andinvestigate the spell, or head for Hay to fulfill the request and obtain therest of the cash. Hay makes more sense, partly because it's closer, but alsobecause the enemies west of Zoomingale are tougher. However, you could take aquick trip there for the better equipment.

Talk to the people you find, and you'll discover more about the wolf monsterwho has been raiding the fields. The church is located inside the Item Shop atthe far side of the village. Cross the bridge and then go back across the lowerone and there is a stone on the river bank. Click on it and it will move. Godown the hole and you'll find a treasure chest with the [KAMIKAZE BRACER]inside. Enter the small house just over the bridge and you'll find a [SEED OFSTRENGTH] in one of the pots, and a [MINI MEDAL] in the right hand one. The

Page 70: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

woman will tell you where to go: the large house with the horses. First goinside the next small house and break the left barrel for a [LEATHER HAT]. Theman in here will mention his terrorcrow scarecrow, and if you return after allthe events are completed, he'll let you take this Knick-Knack item from hisfield.

Finally, enter the largest building (change the camera angle if you can't seethe entrance door) and there will be a scene. After it's over, head up thestairs and break the first pot to find another [MINI MEDAL]. The right pot hasa [MAGIC WATER]. Speak to the hayseed you met before and then the BailiffBails, to be told where to find the monster. If you want to catch sight of it,then return to the village at night, but otherwise just leave and walknorth-west, keeping the sea to your left, to find the lair.

You enter at the top left and there's nothing to find if you go down the firstpassage, so head right, and at the large rock walk down to where you'll find askeleton. There's something sparkling here. It's a [MINI MEDAL!] From here, goleft to the end of the passage, where you'll find a chest containing a [STONE

Page 71: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

AXE]. Go back to the fork, and walk to the right, and down, to find a hole tothe next floor.

-------Floor 2-------This is slightly more complicated. First of all, walk down and left, to find achest that is in fact a CANNIBOX monster. It might drop a MINI MEDAL. Walk backand drop down the hole at the bottom of the screen and you'll land near atreasure chest. This contains an [IRON CUIRASS]. Walk up the right side of thecavern all the way to the top, and take the stairs back up to the next floor.

From here you can chat to the soldier and scare him into falling down to thelower floor, or just leave him be and walk down the room taking care not tofall, and back to the hole where you dropped down. Then head left, edging alongthe path to avoid falling, and descend the stairs in the middle of cavern.

--------------Floor 3 Centre--------------Enter the cavern here, and you'll find the monster that's been raiding thevillage of Hay. Now, if you get into a battle with the Great Sabrecat you mightsurvive for a long time, but you will never win. (I attempted this and foughtfor ages until I gave up.) You can flee if necessary, but the way to defeat thecat is to use BIANCA'S RIBBON during the battle. You'll need to have the itemin Hero's inventory and not in the bag. This reminds Saber of the past and hebecomes tame again. You'll get [PANKRAZ'S SWORD]! This is a great weapon forHero and I used it for a long time before upgrading to something better. Sabrenow joins your party. He was level 15 for me (with Hero at 18) and this meantthat his wisdom was high enough to be controlled in battle. He won't have anyequipment, but you can give him various kinds of Fangs. Keep him in your teamand he will learn the skill War Cry at level 21. This has the effect of makingall enemies afraid, and is an excellent skill to use against enemy groups that

Page 72: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

comprise of lots of individuals.

Use Evac to leave the cave quickly, and return to Hay to collect the other halfof the reward, [1500 GOLD COINS], although you won't win any popularitycontest. Don't forget to chat to the scarecrow maker and then take the[TERRORCROW] from the field.

Walk due west from Lodestar Harbour and you'll soon find Zoomingale. The placecan seem a little confusing at first, as there are walkways with dead ends, andhidden passages under the walls, however, it's pretty simple. One thing to bearin mind is that the weapon and armour shops use the same location so you canonly access one of them at a time, day or night. You'll also find more peopleand information in the bar at night.

From the entrance, you'll see the inn at the left, and the church is up thesteps to the right. Head inside the inn and upstairs where you can break a potfor a [MINI MEDAL]. You can walk up to the top floor and this takes you ontothe roof. Walk down the stairs and you'll be at the entrance to the bar.There's a [TOMBOLA TICKET] inside the barrel in the bottom right corner of theroom. Go up the stairs in here and there are four rooms, and the end of thecorridor takes you into the church. Remember this: the bar and church areconnected. The left room has [SEED OF MAGIC] in the corner barrel. The next twohave nothing to find, and the fourth has a [T'N'T TICKET] in the drawers aswell as a pot that cannot be broken. You'll find out more about what is inside

Page 74: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

if you enter the church, then go into the back room and answer no to the oldman, and you'll be informed about Zoomshine, the local brew. There's a bookabout "King Korol's Catechism" in the left bookshelf. Return to this area atnight and there will be a man standing in front of the pot who'll try topretend that it isn't Zoomshine.

Leave the church and you'll see purple smoke slowly escaping from a chimney.That's the Professor's house and the ultimate destination. For now, walk right,and then up, and you can descend some steps into an open area with a man andthree pots. The single one contains a [MINI MEDAL], and the right one has a[SEED OF AGILITY]. The weapon/armour shop is to the right and you can access itby going down the stairs on the roof. Otherwise head back to the entrance, andthere's a longer route. By the way, if you climb to the roof above the churchand bar you'll be told some news about Harry. Another good reason for gettingthat Zoom spell from the Professor is that you can pay Harry a visit.

The item shop is at the left of the bar entrance, and from here follow the patharound to the back of the town. Change the camera angle to see a long path thatends on a couple of sets of steps opposite a windmill. Go down onto the grassand turn down the screen (if you walk straight ahead you'll be back on theworld map). There's a hidden opening under the wall that emerges in theProfessor's back yard. (To reach the weapon shop turn under the wall betweenthe two sets of steps.)

Nip down the well and talk to the cat who will tell you about the special items(Knick-Knacks) you've been collecting. There's a pot by the door with a[CHIMAERA WING]. Inside the house there's a [MAGIC WATER] inside one of thebarrels to the right of the cauldron, and a [MEDICINAL HERB] in one of the potsunder the stairs. Check the middle bookshelf and there's a book called "AnIllustrated Guide to Medicinal Herbs".

Talk to Professor Trubble in his room and tell him you'll help. The cursor onthe world map shows the location of the item, Lunar Zoombloom. It's a long wayto the west and is found at the end of the narrow strip of land that sticks out

Page 75: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

to the south. Leave the town and start the long trek to the west.

----------------------------------------------Finding the Lunar Zoombloom and the Zoom Spell----------------------------------------------Watch out for the Pocus Poppet monsters as they will inflict confused anddazzled status, as well as decreasing defence, and the Drooling Ghouls can makesomeone go unconscious (not dead).

From Zoomingale, walk west and north a few steps and you'll have to climb upand cross a bridge. Make your way around the side of the pond and down the nextset of steps. From here, walk to the edge of the sea and then south, and ifit's night you'll see a golden glowing spot on the grass. Press A whilestanding on top of it and you will obtain a [LUNAR ZOOMBLOOM]. You need to gosufficiently far south so you can't see the patch of sandy ground on yourscreen, and not so far that you reach the bottom edge of the land. The glowingspot will ONLY APPEAR AT NIGHT!

NOTE: You can explore to the north of this area and you'll find Restless Armourmonsters and lots of Magic Marionettes.

Return to town (day or night) and find the Professor in his bed. He's happy tobe woken up, and when you talk to him again, at his cauldron, he'll throwsomething into it and make with the purple smoke. After that, speak to himagain and he asks you to test out the spell. This might be confusing at first:where the hell is the spell? Guess. Yep, that's right, in Hero's list ofspells. Just pick the Zoom spell from the list, and you'll have a selection ofplaces that you can zoom to. Coburg, Fortuna, Lodestar Harbour and Zoomingale,just the places you've visited in this second part of the game. Select a town,press A, and you'll be there. It really is that simple.

----------------------Have ZOOM. Can travel!----------------------You've got a fair few options now, You could head back to Coburg and visitHarry, and also backtrack to Whealbrook, Roundbeck and Heaven's Above Abbey toadd them to your list of zoomable locations. There's also one more location notso far away, that you could visit now, but it's just an inn and you cannot get

Page 76: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

further south until you've met Harry again.

Zoomshine Knick-KnackProvided you have already checked the man with the pot in the room behind thechurch (at night), you can return to visit the Professor at any time, and whenhe asks if you've come for another spell, say no. Then he will give you abottle of Zoomshine.

King Korol's Catechism (item)Return here later in the game and speak to the woman sitting at the table ontop of the church. Buy her book for 3000 Gold. She won't sell this while she'sstill chatting about Harry's wedding. (You can also find this book, for free,in one of the treasure troves in the Nadiria T'n'T Board.)

Talk to King Wilbur and he'll tell you about the Shield that resides inMostroferrato, in the continent of Southern Zephyrus. Go upstairs to the upperroom and speak to the guard who'll let you through to see Harry and his bride,the lovely Maria!

Now, you're sent on a bit of a wild goose chase, but just go along with it andreturn to Harry's old room. That's down the stairs to the room below the King'schamber, and then right. Harry's room is now occupied by the Queen Dowager, butjust go through and open the chest. It's empty, but there's a message. Returnto speak to Harry and he'll give you the [MARITAL ORGAN] Knick-Knick. (Notethat he says they were going to set a jewel in the lid, and the woman on the

Page 77: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

rooftop will mention a jeweller at Gotha Castle. In fact you can arrange thisyourself later in the game to improve the quality of the knick-knack.) Allthis chat about marriage might be a hint that the heavenly bride could be onthe horizon.

From Coburg, you can zoom back to Zoomingale and head south to Scuttlebutt andinto the tunnel to Mostroferrato, or first of all return to Whealbrook,Roundbeck and Heaven's Above Abbey, to get them on your zoom locations list.You also may find that some monsters are now much easier to recruit in thoselocations, now that your levels are that much higher. To make a quick exit fromthe castle, use Zoom (select Coburg as your destination) while on the rooftopand you can zoom to the world map just outside of Coburg, or choose anywhereelse for that matter!

Walk due south from Zoomingale and you'll find a small settlement comprising aninn, a church and a few people. Walk down the left side of the building andbreak the second pot to find a [TOMBOLA TICKET]. Enter the left part of thebuilding and jump down the well where you'll see a sparkle at the left. Yay!Another [MINI MEDAL]. Chat to the people outside and inside and you'll find out

Page 78: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

a few things about Debora and Mostroferrato. Click on the purple book on theinn counter and it's a Knick-Knack item, the so-called [SCUTTLEBUTT ALLEDGER].

You can chat to the innkeeper and his wife about that, and hear more aboutHarry and the zoom spell. Leave the location and walk south a few steps andyou'll find a cave. This is the underground route to Mostroferrato. If you goinside there before returning to Coburg, there will be a soldier blocking thepath, and he'll tell you to go to Coburg and see Harry. You can't progress anyfurther until you meet up with your old friend again. But we've done thatalready, so we're good to go!

Mostroferrato is in effect on an island, and is connected to the surroundingland by bridges. There are also two separate locations here, and the tower (LaGuardia) at the west side of the town has to be accessed directly from theworld map, However, there's nothing to find there beyond two chatty guards, soyou can safely leave it alone for now.

Enter the town for a scene with a dog called Bingo and a pleasant blue hairedgirl. Explore and you'll soon discover that all anyone will talk about ismarriage. While all the young men are busy at the mansion, you can freely raidthe town. There's an [IRON SHIELD] inside a drawer in the second room in theInn. Enter the small house opposite the Inn and chat to the old folks if youwant, but make sure to get the [MINI MEDAL] from the drawers in the bedroom. Goupstairs and you'll find a book called "Wholesome Matrimony" in the leftbookcase. You should read this convincing case for marriage! The adjoiningchest of drawers contains a [TOMBOLA TICKET]

There's nothing to find in the well next to this house, and the item and weaponshops have no-one serving, although that doesn't mean you can steal anything.The armour shop is open for business and you can enter it from the back doorand talk to the man there, for a picture of a thoroughly modern partnership...

Walk to the west end of town and you'll find a large mansion and a villa. Enterthe villa and purloin (sounds more polite than pinch) a [SEED OF WISDOM] fromthe chest of drawers downstairs. Finally, enter the big house.

Talk to the maid and agree that you're here to see the man about the girl,Nera. Talk to all three suitors and then talk to the first one a second time(or maybe just talk to the maid again) to trigger the appearance of Rodrigo(Rod) Briscoletti. You'll meet Debora as well as Nera. He sets the challenge:find two rings, the Circle of Fire and the Circle of Water and you get Nera'shand in marriage as well as the treasured Briscoletti shield. The Circle of

Page 81: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Fire is found in a cave of fire (dun dun dun!)

After the suitors leave, you're free to raid the place, although you cannotopen the two treasure chests in the room. Check out the bookshelf near thedining table area doorway, and there's a [CHIMAERA WING] inside it. Go up thestairs to the next floor and you can chat to Nera in the room to the right,before searching through her wardrobes... (It's alright, she doesn't mind.)There's a [SILVER TIARA] in the left one. Rod is waiting inside the otherbedroom and will confirm that the Circle of Fire is in a cave to the southeastof the town. There's a [T'N'T TICKET] inside the left cupboard drawer and a[SILK APRON] in the right one.

Climb the stairs up to the top floor, where Debora has the whole floor toherself. There is nothing at all in the various chests of drawers andwardrobes, but there is a cute mini-game called BRUISE THE OOZE! It's thebright greeny blue machine near the bathroom.

Leave the mansion, and now the item and weapon shops will be open. Upgrade yourequipment, and you could invest in a Cloak of Evasion for a monster or two, asthis will give them additional protection from attack. I'd also suggest buyinga couple of Magic Shields from Zoomingale or Lodestar before you set off forthe fire cave. After you get the Circle of Fire, give it to Rod and he'll giveyou the use of his ship!

I hope you've been keeping a Slime in your active party, because you'll needthem now. This monster learns the spell SAFE PASSAGE at level 25, if you'vemanaged to reach that high, and this will protect you inside the lava cave.Needless to say, I hadn't reached that level with my Slime, but you can managethe volcano with a little judicious juggling of party members, and maybe a fewMedicinal Herbs to give you extra healing options so you don't run out of MP.

Walk southfrom Mostroferrato, (cross the bridges to the east or west) and then go eastwhere the mountains end, and then head north though the brown bumpy area tofind the volcano.

Take care when fightng the Phantaseyes you'll find en route, since they have ahabit of charging at someone and sending them flying back into the wagon. Addsomeone else to the line-up as soon as you get a turn or you could be at asevere disadvantage. Also, be very careful of the Rockbombs. Destroy them asfast as you can or they might blow up in a kamikaze attack and kill everyone!

------------------Inside the Volcano------------------This place can be tough if you don't have helpful monsters and decentequipment. It's quite a long way to the goal, and then you're faced with a bossto defeat, so you need to keep a good amount of MP for the journey. Fortunatelythere is a healing place just before the boss area, and you are able to bring

Page 83: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

the wagon with you, so make sure to have a full team of eight. You'll need ahealer (Slime Knight, most likely) and monsters with status attacks. If youmeet a group of Flamethrowers then beware! They will use a fire magic attack oneveryone that can hurt for around 50 HP depending on your equipment, and ifmore than one uses this attack you'll be in trouble. Put them to sleep orparalyse them if you can't defeat them fast.

From the entrance, walk left and chat to Crispin, one of the suitors, if youwant. Walk down the second path next to him, and you'll find a treasure chestcontaining [450 GOLD COINS]. The other path leads to nothing, so ignore that.Return to the main path and follow it up, and all the way around the edge ofthe cavern, until you reach a hole leading down to the next floor.

-------Floor 2-------Walk up and right, and up again, to find a treasure chest with a [T'N'TTICKET]. Walk back a few steps and then right, and you'll see a path leadingdown into the lava. If you've got the Safe Passage magic then use it now,otherwise, tough it out! An alternative to this, is to use your spare monstersfor the fire walking, and switch the healthy team back into the line-up if youfind yourself in a battle. Walk down the path and left onto the lava, andyou'll see a path leading to a treasure chest. This contains the [STAFF OFANTIMAGIC]. You can equip this or use it to prevent enemies from using magic.In fact the lava doesn't hurt for too much damage, and the only problem will beif you have a fight and don't keep everyone healed up. Return to the main path,and walk left, and down. Then, follow the path to the right, and take the firstfork down, where you'll find a treasure chest with an [IRON HELMET]. Equip thisto someone, and then walk back up the path, go left, and up the long path tofind the next hole in the floor.

-------Floor 3-------Head right, and follow the safe path until you reach a narrow patch of lava

Page 84: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

across the path that goes directly up. Cross this, and you'll find a treasurechest with a [SEED OF RESILIENCE]. From here you can see two holes in the floorat the upper right of the cavern. This is where you'll reach the next floor anda healing place. Return to the main path and head left, following the safe pathuntil you can walk up and left. Here the floor is hot again, but cross it andyou'll find a treasure chest with [1500 GOLD COINS]. Return all the way backdown the safe path and stop at the point where there is a path up the centre ofthe cavern that has a long stretch of fiery floor. This is where Safe Passagewould be useful if you've got the spell, but, assuming you haven't, make sureeveryone is at full health, take a deep breath and walk across the floor to thefar side.

Back on safe ground, walk right, and you'll see the hole down to the nextfloor. The top one leads to the boss area, but if you want to heal up first,(advisable), take the lower path (harmful) and enter the hole in the floor.You're in a safe haven and there is a healing circle. Return to the other holeand walk up the path to find the Circle of Fire ring. But it's not going to beas easy as that!

NOTE: You could fight lots of battles in the area near the healing circle, toraise levels, earn gold, and maybe recruit some monsters.

o--------------------o| B O S S - MAGMEN |o--------------------oReward: 1050 experience points, 750 Gold Coins.

Yeah, this boss is plural, and though each one doesn't have a lot of HP, theircombined Fierce Fire attack can hurt your party a lot if they all decide to usethat attack in the same round. In fact if they did that it would probably killeveryone. There are three of them, and the best strategy is to take them outone at a time. You need a dedicated healer in the active party, and someone whocan decrease their defence with Kasap (a Slime should do that) and maybe evenput them to sleep. Although I found that only one out of the three would be

Page 85: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

affected by Sweet Breath or the Zizzwizz pillow at one time, nonetheless I keptusing this attack and eventually two of them were asleep. Once one is defeatedthen it's downhill all the way. (My team had Hero at level 20 with a SlimeKnight, Cross Eye and Hulagan for their Sweet Breath, and Slime for Kasap.)

After you defeat them, you'll receive the Circle of Fire, and can cast Evac toleave and Zoom back to Mostroferrato. (Make sure Hero has sufficient MP left ifyou plan to do this, but if not, head back to the healing circle to replenish.)Return to Rod's mansion in the daytime and give him the Circle of Fire. Inreturn you'll be given the use of a SHIP!

===============================================================================STOCKENBARREL ........................................................... *W30===============================================================================

Location: This town cannot be accessed using the Zoom spell. It is a short boatride up the river to the north of Mostroferrato. Stop at the gate on the riverand walk east.

NOTE: 189 Pollywiggle* seems only to appear during Generation 2 in thislocation: the river and sea north of Stockenbarrel. Finding it again inGeneration 3 has eluded me and other players too. Make sure to bag this enemynow if you want to complete your Big Book of Beasts! (It may be found in laterT'n'T boards if you miss it now, but that's a more time-consuming method.)

You'll find the ship waiting for you next to the bridge at the west of theMostroferrato. Simply walk onto it and move with the directional buttons. Youcan only go a short distance heading north up the river. Make sure to includesome monsters in your party again, as they will have been taken out when youvisited the mansion. I guess monsters aren't allowed inside posh houses.

You'll arrive at a gate that blocks further access up the river, so stop off onthe east bank where there's a signpost. Read this and you'll now have to findthe town of Stockenbarrel, and the person who can unlock the rivergate. Walk tothe east from the gate and you'll find the settlement surrounded by trees.

The church is found inside the first house to the right. Pop down the well andthere's a man who wants a Desert Rose in exchange for some bath salts. You'll

Page 87: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

find the Desert Rose when you have access to the south continent, but that'snot for a little while yet.

There are two pots in the Item Shop and the first of them contains a [SEED OFSTRENGTH] The second one is an URNEXPECTED monster! You can paralyse it withBurning Breath magic and then just hit it to death. The Weapon Shop is insidethe Inn, and if you head up the stairs the woman will tell you about Bianca andthere's a 'Hurrah for Herbs' and two other food books in the left bookshelf.Don't stay at the inn as you'll get a free night's rest in a while. Head up thesecond set of stairs and there's a [MEDICINAL HERB] in the right chest ofdrawers. Go down the hole in the corner ground floor and you'll be in the bar.There's a [MINI MEDAL] inside the corner barrel. Return here at night andthere's a group of drinkers with more chat about Bianca.

From the ground floor you can go through the open door and chat to the bathersin the pool, but there's nothing to find there. Head up towards the large houseat the top of the village and stop off at the graveyard. Check the right graveand you'll find a [MINI MEDAL] and a girl. Walk underneath the house set onpoles, and jump down the well where you'll find a [T'N'T TICKET] in a treasurechest at the bottom. Go inside the large house and walk right to trigger ascene with Whitey. (There's nothing to find in the cupboards and shelves insidethe house.)

After this, Bianca will turn up, Next day you can't leave until you have spokento Whitey and Bianca, after which you must say Yes to Bianca when she offers tohelp. Talk to her again and say you're ready to leave and she'll join theparty. If you have a full party, you'll have to send someone back to Monty.Check up on Bianca's equipment (her level will be at 16 or 17) and then walkback to the ship. Sail up to the gate and Bianca will open it.

===============================================================================CATARACT CAVES .......................................................... *W31===============================================================================

Page 88: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Location: Inside the large lake to the north west of Zoomingale. Onlyaccessible by boat, starting at Mostroferrato, sailing north up the river,and then across the sea heading north east, and up another river.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TASK : Search the caves to find the Circle of Water ring.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Items : Robe of Serenity, 1200 Gold Coins, Circle of Water, Elfin Elixir.Mini Medals : NoneKnick-Knacks: NoneEnemies : 027 Lesionnaire, 043 Metal Slime(R), 080 Wormbat, 081 Poxtongue, 082 Phantaseyes, 084 Jiggery-Pokery, 085 Monster Tamer, 086 Hotbog, 087 Goodybag(R), 088 Cureslime(R), 089 Gastank, 090 Orc, 180 Pollywiggle, 183 Suckling Ocker, 184 Merman,Sea Enemies : 180 Pollywiggle, 182 Morphean Mollusc, 183 Suckling Ocker, 184 Merman, 186 Sea Dog.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With the ship you can sail around a small area of sea and add more monsters tothe Big Book of Beasts, although none of them are recruitable. There is a smallisland where you'll find some Corpse Corporals, Drooling Ghouls, and MagicMarionettes. Sail a little way to the east of the island and then go north, andyou'll find another river between some mountains and trees. Keep sailing northand you'll arrive a waterfall. This is just to the west of Zoomingale, but ifyou rest up at the inn before entering the caves, next morning you'll find thatthe ship has disappeared and returned of its own volition back toMostroferrato. You can save your game at the church in Zoomingale if you want.At this point Hero is likely to be at around Level 22.

When you arrive inside the caves Bianca starts laying on the memories. Rememberwhen we...etc. Harden your heart if you want to resist her guilt tripping youto marry her, and avoid the Talk option altogether!

You leave the ship at the entrance and cannot take the Wagon with you, soyou'll just have to make do with four party members. Walk up and follow thepath around the next four floors until you arrive at a large waterfall, whereBianca will comment about the scenery. There's only one route to take up to

Page 89: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

this point, and nothing to find. Enemies can use poison attacks so you'll needsome Antidotal Herbs and a monster with the Squelch spell, although Hero hasthis spell, so you shouldn't have too many problems.

----------------Floor 4, 5 and 6----------------In the cave after the big waterfall you'll find an adventurer, and lots ofwater. Walk up the cave hugging the right wall, all the way towards the otherside, and then walk down and left until you arrive back on brown colouredground. There's a large hole in the floor and if you jump down this, and thenwalk down the next room and along the path that crosses the waterfall, you'llfind the [ROBE OF SERENITY] inside a treasure chest. You can equip this toBianca.

Return to the cave where you dropped down, and now jump into the large hole inthe floor. You'll land just in front of some steps leading up to the nextfloor. Ignore this for now and walk up the cave and enter the hole leading downto Floor 7.

----------------Floor 7, 8 and 9----------------I found a nice group of Metal Slimes here and two of them let me defeat them!Walk down the path and you'll exit near the waterfall again, and Bianca willcomment like the dumb tourist she is. Walk left and follow the brown path downthe cave until you reach some steps into the water. Then walk up and follow thegreen ground all the way to the treasure chest containing [1200 GOLD COINS].There's a dark opening just to left of this, under the waterfall, and in hereis the cavern where you'll find the [CIRCLE OF WATER].

Leave the cavern and walk back down to the steps and take the ones to theright. You'll find a hole in the ground leading down to Floor 8 and anotherhole to Floor 9. Walk up this final cave and open the treasure chest to obtain[ELFIN ELIXIR]. This valuable item heals all MP for one, and it's a usefulthing to keep in the bag for emergencies. You can buy more using tokens at

Page 90: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Fortuna Casino, but it's nice to get a free one.

Cast EVAC, unless you want to fight more enemies in here, and you'll be backwith the ship on the world map just outside the waterfall entrance. Zoom (orsail) back to Mostroferrato.

===============================================================================MARRIAGE ................................................................ *W32===============================================================================

"For as long as you both shall be resurrected from death in the church"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TASK : Decide who you're going to marry. Collect the Wedding Veil.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Items : Wedding Veil, Seed of Wisdom (conditional), 2000 Gold Coins, Zenithian Shield.Mini Medals : NoneKnick-Knacks: Honey BunsRecruit : Whoever you marry joins the party as a permanent member.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Save your game to be on the safe side, and enter Rod's mansion inMostroferrato. He's chatting with Nera and her mother in the dining room, andyou can hand over the Circle of Water. Rod arranges for Bianca to stay in hisvilla (the house down the path from the mansion) and Hero in the inn. You'vegot to choose between Bianca and Nera so say Yes to him. Next thing, you'll beawake. It's night and you're in the inn and not sure about what decision tomake. Dammit, you haven't even been on a date with either girl.

-------------Big Decision!-------------Rather than think things over quietly, the idea is that you should talk toeveryone in the inn and town, and they will all give you advice or comments.Talk to the innkeeper too, and, only after you've spoken to everyone else,(including Bianca and the members of Rod's family), will the innkeeper finally

Page 91: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

give you the option to go back to bed.

Talk to the three people in the town, and the nun in the church. Go into Rod'splace and upstairs to find him in his bedroom. Chat to him and then findDebora and talk to her. You can answer both yes and no for differentreactions. Find Bianca upstairs in the villa and speak to her as well. Then youcan return to the inn and hopefully you've made up your mind. If not, you canstay up for longer, or just sleep on it.

The next day you'll be at the mansion and the maid escorts you to face Rodrigo.Whatever your answer to his question, he'll tell you that now you must decide.However, you now get a third option: Debora is in the running for your mate! Atthis point you're free to move, and can talk to the maid who's guarding theexit door for a possible fourth option. (Not a serious contender!) You can alsogo upstairs to find Mrs Rod, and a bit of extra dialogue.

Talk to one of the girls and answer yes if you want to pick her, or no if youdon't. You can do this as often as you like, but when you pick a girl you'llget a second option to say yes or no. Make your decision and, after anotherchance to change your mind, that's it. She's yours for life!

--------------Who To Choose?--------------It really doesn't matter which girl you choose so far as the main story isconcerned, but they do have different skills and can use different equipment.In addition to that, the "Talk" options will be completely different. Firsttime playing I went for the obvious choice, childhood friend, Bianca, but Ireally got tired of her 'lovey dovey' comments by the end. Debora is probablythe most interesting (and entertaining) option, since she's the new addition tothe game, and offers the most originality. But she's not going to make for acontented relationship. Nera has her Crispin, and makes it clear she's notgoing to be a very active participant, although she gets the most powerfulspell. She will also call you darling all the time, and be very nice.

Page 92: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

If you're not bothered about their personalities, or hair colour, then Biancais the all rounder, Nera is best at magic, and Debora is the better physicalfighter. She also is the only character that can equip the Akillics weapons,and she can equip the Hela Hammer which is useful if you're hunting MetalSlimes!. One further thing is that you'll get some additional cash if youmarry one of Rod's girls. It's not a huge amount, and given that money is notlikely to be a problem, not something to influence your decision.

----------------The Wedding Veil----------------After you've chosen your bride, the girls will depart for the villa, (Deborawon't help if you don't pick her) and Rod wants you to go and fetch a WeddingVeil from a dealer that trades in a cave in a spa town...that's Stockenbarrel.Chat to the townspeople for their reactions to your choice and leave town. Sailthe ship up the river (it will be next to the western bridge or at the north ofthe Mostroferrato island) and stop at the place where Bianca opened the gate.Walk east to Stockenbarrel and enter the item shop. Talk to the dealer andhe'll give you the [WEDDING VEIL].

Walk up to Whitey's house and go underneath to talk to the man there who willgive you a wedding gift of a [SEED OF WISDOM]. This only occurs when fetchingthe veil, and you won't get anything from him if you marry Bianca. However,there is a second chance to pick up this item if you call in here duringGeneration 3, but again, you get nothing if Bianca is your wife. (Many thanksto yingchenluo for information about this item and further confirmation fromchaoyun2k.) Call in on Whitey for his reaction to your choice (optional) andthen return to Mostroferrato. You can just zoom back.

The morning after the marriage, move Hero to leave the villa and you will findthe [HONEY BUNS].

------------------------Nera And Debora Marriage------------------------As soon as you enter the town, after fetching the Veil, events will proceed.

Page 93: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

The wedding is going to take place on board the casino ship (Vegas style!) Youare asked to cast Zoom, and the whole wedding party will be transported. Nextscene takes place in the luxury suite and all you have to do is move Hero. Whenasked if you are ready for the ceremony answer Yes, or you will get the wholedescription of what's about to happen, once more. It's the same for theceremony. Answer yes, or the priest repeats himself. At the kissing part, moveto your bride and press A to tie the knot, and after this you'll be back inMostroferrato. Answer yes to Nera/Debora's questions or she'll keep asking.

Talk to Rod back in his mansion and he'll agree that Debora/Nera canaccompany hero if they go and check the Pot at the "Pothold" shrine north ofthe town (west of Stockenbarrel) and she doesn't mess things up. You will alsobe able to open the two chests in the room at long last. The left one contains[2000 GOLD COINS] and the right has the [ZENITHIAN SHIELD].

-----------------Bianca's Marriage-----------------After getting the Veil, go the villa (down the path from Rod's mansion) andspeak to the women guarding the door. She'll tell you that the Veil must be inyour personal inventory if it's not. When it is, she'll take it from you andreturn all items Bianca might have been carrying. Go inside and speak to themaid who's blocking the staircase. After giving Bianca the veil, leave thevilla (Bianca will follow) and you'll be escorted to the church. Harry willarrive just in time, and the wedding takes place in the local church. The nextday, visit Rod and collect the items in the two treasure chests. When you talkto him he'll give you a ship! He will also tell you where to go next if youspeak to him again: go south from Lodestar harbour and you'll find the desertkingdom of Helmunaptra. You can also stop off at the Ventuno casino ship in thetown of Pontoon. He suggests you revisit a few places, and check up on oldfriends (Harry) and this really is a great idea. Take a honeymoon and have funfor a while!

Page 94: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

NOTE* If you don't marry Bianca she will leave the party forever and return to Stockenbarrel, but all her items will be in the bag.

* If you do marry Bianca you don't have to go to the Pothold.

----------------Wife's Equipment----------------DEBORAShe joins the party at level 10 and equipped with Akillics, Silver Tiara, SilkDress, Circle of Water, and has the Wedding Veil in her inventory. Equip theveil: it's a helmet. If you marry Debora you can use her room as a free inn,but you have to sleep on the floor.

NERAShe joins the party at Level 8 and equipped with Morning Star, Scale Shield,Circle of Water, Cloak of Evasion and Silver Tiara. If you marry Nera you canuse her room as a free inn, and start to get used to her calling you 'darling'.

BIANCAJoins at whatever level she has reached, possibly level 20, and with theWedding Veil and Circle of Water equipped. You'll have to re-equip her afterthe wedding.

------------------------------------Checking the Pot with Nera or Debora------------------------------------You don't have to do this if you marry Bianca. With either of the other twogirls, leave the town and sail the ship up the river to the gate that Biancaunlocked. Don't go through the open gate, but sail west and you'll be halted bysome rocks. You can land here, next to the trees, and there is a small templetype structure. Enter this, and your wife will unlock the door. Walk up theleft steps and there is a small white step that leads into the building. Walkdown the circular stairs and check out the pot at the bottom. Exit, and zoomback to Mostroferrato to report back to Rod. Answer yes or no whichever youlike.

After this the game continues as for Bianca, and you'll be told to go to

Page 95: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Lodestar Harbour and take the ship.

===============================================================================SAILING THE SEAS (OPTIONAL) ............................................. *W33===============================================================================

Your real goal is to sail south and find Helmunaptra, but you can take yourtime and go sightseeing.

First of all talkto the man at the left and you can buy a souvenir [SHIP IN A BOTTLE]Knick-Knack for 1000 Gold Coins. Speak to the sailor at the gangplank, and thenwalk up and speak to the captain. You'll now have access to the ship for therest of the game. If you enter the pub in town the locals will give you moreinformation about the desert city.

If you zoom somewhere, the ship will follow you, and you can even zoom directlyfrom the ship. Zoom to Coburg and the ship will be in a tiny pool next to thecastle, and you can sail in here and fight sea monsters! Actually, there's noneed to visit Harry at this point, as he doesn't give you anything new, or saymuch of note, but you get a chance to comment on how married life is treatingyou.

NOTE: If, for any reason, you missed getting the zoom spell, or just fancy astroll, then you'll have to walk to Lodestar Harbour. The route is: backthrough the tunnel from Mostroferrato (it's to the east of the town over thebridge and then walk a few steps north), and then walk north past Scuttlebutt,

Page 96: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

and keep going until you see another town, Zoomingale (where you get the zoomspell), and then head due east to the coast, and south a few steps to findLodestar Harbour.

The girl at the right will exchange your tokens for prizes.These are the same as at Fortuna except for the final item. The Slurpodrome is

Page 97: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

here as well. There's a man who will offer to tell you the secret of winning atpoker for 5,000 Gold Coins. Don't bother, since all he will tell you is thatthere is no way to guarantee a win! (He doesn't take your money.)

Walk along the gangplank and you'll be on board the large Casino ship. You'llrecognise it if you married Nera or Debora. The church is at the left from theentrance and it's wise to save here before you get tempted into any gambling.There is nothing inside the two barrels at the left of the church area, butthere is a [T'N'T TICKET] in the first barrel to right of main deck churcharea.

Enter the door under the church and there are a couple of crew bedrooms Thereis a [T'N'T TICKET] in the chest of drawers in the left room, and a [TOMBOLATICKET] in right room drawer. Go down the stairs from the hole in the floor andchange the camera angle to spot three barrels in this otherwise empty room.There's a [MINI MEDAL] in the barrel in the corner near the stairs. Go down thenext hole and you'll be in a small room adjacent to the finish of the T 'n' Tboard. For now, go down again and you'll be in the hold. A barrel to the rightof the door into the kitchen has [30 GOLD]. Return up the stairs and exit intothe T'N'T board area.

Walk up to the middle of the room and there's a red door that just leads toanother T'N'T room. Take either stairs at the far end of the main room andyou'll be inside the main casino. Walk down the room and there is a [CASINOTOKEN] sparkling on the floor next to the stairs that take you back onto thedeck.

The last area left to explore is the casino end of the main deck. Walk up tothe area near the sail and there is a row of barrels to the right. The thirdone contains a [T'N'T TICKET] and the fourth has a [MINI MEDAL]. There are morebarrels at the left of the sail, but they contain nothing.

Enter the door in the middle of the top deck and this is a free inn. The room

Page 98: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

to the right has a [T'N'T TICKET] in the chest of drawers. The door down thesteps leads to more bedrooms. The small middle one at the right has a [DANCER'SCOSTUME] inside the cupboard (change the camera to see it if need be.) Whew,after all this effort, time for some fun!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------iii. KNICK-KNACKATORY-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Location: This small island lies off the south coast of the central continent.Local Services: Church, Inn (10 Gold per person).-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TASK : Find a special souvenir for the old man. Open up the Knick-Knackatory and place your knick-knacks.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Items : Mini Medal, T'n'T Ticket x2, Chamois.Mini Medal : 17MM Inside a barrel in the basement room.Area Enemies: 116 Hoodlum(R), 118 Tortoceratops, 120 Drag-goon.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arrive here for the first time and Old Man Knick-Knack will be waiting for youat the door. You should already have collected a few things, but he wants ths'dream' souvenir before he'll let you in. It is located at Dominicus'sDominion, which is just a short sail to the south-east. After finding the MaxiMedal give it to Old Man Nick, and you will be granted access to theKnick-Knackatory, and appointed curator!

Go inside and place your knick-knacks on any of the pedestals. When you've donethat you can read their descriptions. You can only place or move knick-knacksat night. (Use the Night Light if you don't have access to the Tick-Tockspell.) If you speak to Old Nick he will give you the Chamois. This isn't aknick-knack but it's used to polish the Toff's Tea Set! The innkeeper is theman in green and the room behind him is Old Nick's bedroom. There is a diary inthe bookshelf that you can read, but, so far as I know, you never get to openthe treasure chest.

From the entrance go through the door to the right and down the lower set ofstairs. You'll be in a basement room (with more display pedestals) and threebarrels. There is a [MINI MEDAL] in the one in the left corner, and a [T'N'TTICKET] and another [T'N'T TICKET] in the other two.

Page 101: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

The other stairs lead down to a church, and Exotica Net Expo. You can make yourvery own knick-knacks (for free) with Exotic Annette, and they will bedisplayed in the back room. From the entrance, again, climb up the stairway tothe top floor and there is a single display where you can place an item and aman will give you more details about it. (He won't be there on this firstvisit.) Exit the doors at the bottom of the screen and you'll find a balcony.Later on visitors will be found here as well as in the rest of the building.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------iii. DOMINICUS'S DOMINION-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Location: Sail all the way south to find this large island at the south centreof the world map. It's due east of the desert continent where you'll findHelmunaptra, and a short sail south-east from the Knick-Knackatory island.

Local Services: Bank, Inn (5 Gold per person).-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TASK : Find the souvenir for Old Man Knick-Knack.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Items : Iron Mask, Maxi Medal.Mini Medals : NoneKnick-Knacks: Chocolate MedalliyumEnemies : 001 Slime(R), 010 Bubble Slime, 043 Metal Slime(R), 088 Cureslime(R), 091 King Slime(R).----------------------.------.-------.-----------------------------------------Mini Medal Prizes | COST | EQUIP | Notes----------------------+------+-------+-----------------------------------------Powjamas | 12 | HPS | +40 DEF ArmourGlombolero | 17 | BNM | +37 DEF Armour.

There's a treasure chest at the left of the building and this contains an IronMask. Other than that there's nothing to find inside the palace, just yet. On

Page 102: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

this first visit (after meeting Old Man Knick-Knack) talk to King Dominicus andanswer yes. Then talk to the lady at the inn, who gave the item to the manstanding next to the bank. He dumped it outside, so go outside and you'll see alarge golden item just to the right of the palace. Investigate it, and agree togo to the rescue. You will obtain the [MAXI MEDAL].

Return to talk to the king and he'll tell you to keep it. The king is the onewho collects Mini Medals and you could exchange some, (talk to him to see thelist of items) but I'd keep them until you can get something of more use thanPowjamas or the Glombolero. You will be able to find a large quantity of MiniMedals eventually. See the lists sections for details of where you can findthem

Buy a [CHOCOLATE MEDALLIYUM] for 480 Gold from the woman who runs the inn: youhave to ask her from the left or right of the counter, or she will just thinkyou want to stay at the inn. There is also a locked treasure room down a holein the floor behind her inn. This is only accessed with the Ultimate Key.

Dominicus's Dominion is an excellent place to gain some levels at this stageof the game. At least, it is, if you can kill some Metal Slimes before they runaway.

-----------Desert Tent-----------Location: Eastern corner of the desert continent.

Page 104: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

You'll find a single tent with an old man and advice about the location of theQueen and Dominicus. A [MINI MEDAL] is in the right pot inside the tent, and[BOXER SHORTS] in the left pot. Drop down into the Well to find a chap withadvice on the location of Dominicus's Dominion.

-----------Desert Town-----------Location: Due west of the tent. Stay at the south side of the rocks to find thecastle town.

When you arrive (if you have married Debora or Nera) speak to the guardwaiting at the bottom of the steps to the castle. He will deposit a treasurechest at your wife's feet! This [2000 GOLD COINS] is a gift from your generousfather-in-law.

Enter the Weapon Shop to find a [CHIMAERA WING] in a pot in the bottom levelroom. The man in the Armour Shop (not the shopkeeper) will give you informationabout the Desert Rose even if you visit at night. Stay the night at the inn andgo out early in the morning to find these lying in the desert. Walk a few stepssouth of the town and you'll see two rocks that weren't there yesterday. Usethe EXAMINE skill to check the rock (or just click on it) and you should find aRose. By the way, if you don't want to pay 120 Gold for a night's rest foreveryone then zoom back to a cheaper town and come back the next day for thesame result!

The Castle cannot be entered at night, but once inside there are a few thingsto find. There is a book in the right hand room that informs you yet again ofthe location of Dominius and the Knick Knack island, one with a bad monsterjoke, and another with advice about the desert. The top left bedroom has a[T'N'T TICKET] in the middle drawers. The first pot in the top right corner ofthe kitchen contains an "URNEXPECTED" monster, and the one next to it has a[SEED OF RESILIENCE]. There's a [SEED OF MAGIC] in the right hand barrel.Everyone here will talk about the Legendary Hero if you want to find out a

Page 105: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

little more.

Go down the stairs in the middle of the hallway to find Queen Cleohatra in hergarden. Answer Yes, and she will lead you to the grave of the legendary heroinside the western tower. When prompted to do so, try on the Helm. Shucks, itdoesn't fit. After this, follow the queen back up the stairs and exit thetower. Return to the castle and head back down to the garden. Talk to the queenagain and answer yes, explaining why you are chasing after the legendary hero.Wow, now we learn the truth, and the name "Gotha". Pick up the [MINI MEDAL]from the bottom of the well. You can head upstairs, but there is nothing tofind, just a couple of girls. Now you have a new task: to journey to Gotha.

There's one more thing to do. Walk up the left of the castle wall and under thesmall bridge that leads to the left tower, and you will find a man lying in thesand. Talk to him and he wants water. The only way you can give some to him, isto push him to the right, to the oasis. Turn the camera to line up behind him.When you get there, he'll recover, and open his item shop.

Before leaving, find another Desert Rose (stay the night somewhere again) andthen zoom to Mostroferrato and sail up the river to Stockenbarrel. Give it tothe man inside the well, and you receive Scintillating Sinter, the knick-knack.

(Later in the game the daughter of the weapon shop man will return home, andtell you about the man at Stockenbarrel who spoke of the Desert Rose, in caseyou forget about this. You can also find someone in the church, at night, whowill tell you how to obtain a Desert Rose.)

===============================================================================KNOT WELCOME INNE ....................................................... *W35===============================================================================

Location: Sail due east from the desert, and land on the shore of the south eastern continent. The inn is situated at the north of the patch of

Page 106: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

trees.Local Services: Inn (10 Gold per person), Church.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TASK : Rest and save before venturing into Mount Batten-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Items : T'n'T Ticket.Mini Medals : NoneKnick-Knacks: Forget-me-Knot FlagArea Enemies: 094 Lazy Eye, 095 Wizened Wizard, 096 Drag-goof(R), 101 Eyevory Tusk-Tusk, 102 Stone Golem, 104: Samigina(R), 108: Hex Hellmet, 109: Orc King(R)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The well contains a chatty Blue Slime, but nothing else, and there is a [T'N'TTICKET] in a barrel on the wooden platform to right of the Inn entrance. Chatto Granny Knot for some philosophical advice on life. Stay the night and talkto the innkeeper the next day, and you will be given a Forget-me-Knot FlagKnick-Knack. But you have to talk to him from behind the counter, and you onlyget the gift if you have a group of four or more. You'll also get someinformation about Gotha from the nun and the other visitor.

If you walk north along the coast you'll run into Hex Hellmet, Samigina, StoneGolem and Orc King enemies, but eventually you will be stopped from goingfurther by the mountains. This is quite a good place to fight these monsters,and maybe hope to recruit one, especially the Orc King who has the skill ofZing: resurrection! Watch out for groups of Eyevory Tusk Tusks, which caninflict fear on everyone and then hit you for a fair amount of damage as wellas being able to send someone back to the wagon.

From the Inne, walk north a few steps, and keep to the eastern edgeof the purple pond. (If Debora is your wife she will get the spell Safe Passageat level 18 so you could walk safely over the purple stuff). Enter the cave,which leads to a mountain pass called Mount Batten. You're on your way home!

NOTEBefore starting out for Gotha you could spend some time raising levels for yourmonsters, (and especially for your wife if you chose Nera or Debora) recruitingmore monsters, and checking out your Big Book of Beasts. With both the ship and

Page 107: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

the zoom spell, it's easy enough to dash around from place to place and revisitareas, including dungeons. Maybe complete both T'n'T boards if you haven't doneso already, and play the casinos. I tended to use this inn as a base, partlybecause it's quick to visit both church and inn, even though it's not thecheapest place to stay. Once you set out for Gotha you're committed to a longtrek and the next town is not a zoom location.

Anyhow, I'm stopping here for a while...

===============================================================================MOUNT BATTEN ............................................................ *W36===============================================================================

Location: The entrance to the mountain pass is north of the Knot Welcome Inne.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TASK : Navigate the paths through the mountain to Battenberg.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Items : 550 Gold Coins, Mini Medalx3, Prayer Ring, Flowing Dress (Nera or Debora only)Mini Medals : 20MM Mt Batten Pass: Left pot inside inhabited cave. 21MM Mt Batten Pass: Treasure chest at the far left of the path. 22MM Mt Batten Pass: Treasure chest at the left of cave.Knick-Knacks: NoneEnemies : 059 Urnexpected, 077 Hunter Mech, 090 Orc, 095 Wizened Wizard, 096 Drag-goof(R), 097 Deadcurion, 098 Wight Prince, 099 Lindworm, 103 Quack Up,-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From the Knot Welcome Inne, walk north a few steps, and edge around the purplepond. Enter the cave, which leads to a mountain pass called Mount Batten.You're on your way home!

Follow the path and, after you cross the third bridge, open the chestcontaining [550 GOLD COINS] You'll see a hole on the next ledge, so follow thepath to the left and then climb up to reach it. This leads into a desertedcavern. The pot at the left contains a [MINI MEDAL] and the one at the back

Page 108: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

wall is an "URNEXPECTED". Carry on down to the next floor and talk to the womanwho will let you stay if you say that you lost your way. That night, your wifeawakens you with some disturbing news... As a result of this encounter, Herowill gain +5 Strength points! You can stay here for free as often as you like,but you won't get another stat boost.

The next day carry on, and climb the path to the left of the cave for a chestwith a [PRAYER RING]. Then, return to the main path and walk all the way to theleft. Head down the path, to find a chest with a [MINI MEDAL]. Back to the pathand go up, and then right, as it winds around, until you reach a cave entrance.If you married one of the Briscoletti girls there will be another gift from theguard. Talk to him and he will leave a treasure chest containing a [FLOWINGDRESS]. Equip this armour, as it has the valuable property of deflecting damagefrom magic attacks, as well as fire and ice attacks. No lightning damage withthis dress!

Make sure to have a dedicated healer as one of your team in here, as theWight Prince wizards can use powerful lightning magic on everyone at once, andtry not to let the the Quack Ups live long enough to put you all to sleep!Follow the lower path to the left to find a treasure chest containing a [MINIMEDAL]. Then, walk up the path and up the stairs into another large cavern.Head down a few steps, follow the slope up to the next pathway, and continue tothe right and up to the top. Here you will cross a couple of bridges and canspeak to a travelling priest, who isn't very helpful. But that doesn't matter,since you will arrive at a village as soon as you pass through the exit.

After a free night's rest (you'll find out why it's free), you can explore theplace the next day. Chat to everyone for advice about marriage and informationabout Gotha. Note that you cannot zoom to Battenberg, so if you zooom out ofhere, the only way back is to walk.

The inn has a pack of [MONSTER MUNCHIES] in the barrel next to the stove at theright. There is a book about good inns in the bookcase inside the Church, and a[TOMBOLA TICKET] in the chest of drawers to the left of the altar.

Enter the door with the shop sign and go downstairs. There is a phial of [PAXAPUNCH] in the first pot. The left hand room has a [T'N'T TICKET] in theleft hand drawers, and a [MINI MEDAL] in the top barrel. The right hand room

Page 110: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

has nothing. The old woman in the left room here, will tell you that someonehas lost the Batten Binnacle, and you'll find the child who lost it at theentrance to the cave, if you cross the bridge. Go back and talk to grannyagain, and she'll give you the [BATTEN BINNACLE] knick-knack.

NOTE: If you miss this item during this generation, you can return later,though you'll still have to walk. Talk to the man laid out on his bed in theleft room underneath the weapon shop. I guess it's the child grown up, but hewill give you this item.

When you are ready, cross the bridge to the right, and you can see Gotha a longway down below. Enter the Pass to Gotha. It's going to be a long journey.

Page 111: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

When you start out again, you'll find that only you and your wife are in theactive party. This was a bit of shock when I was faced with the serried ranksof Deadcurions. However, the rest are still available: just make sure to putthem back in the party. At least you have the wagon and can use everyone. IfHero has reached level 25 he will learn the Spell Zing which is going to behandy in here, since he has a chance of bringing someone back to life if theydie. Watch out for the Minidemons who will change your tactics, and make sureto change them back again to your preferred option. If you want to know whichfloor you are on, then use the Batten Binnacle and it will kindly tell you!

------------------Floors 11,10 and 9------------------Enter the cave and go down two sets of steps to the Floor 9. Walk down from thestairs and to the right to get a [MINI MEDAL] from the chest. Go back to thestairs and walk right and follow the path to open two visible chests. The leftone contains [1500 GOLD COINS], and the right is a Mimic. Fight it to obtain a[MINI MEDAL]. Beware, as this enemy can use the spell Thwack which can affecteveryone and destroy you all! Ouch. I found that Saber's War Cry skill was veryeffective against mimics, making them fearful, or you would put them sleep withthe Dream Blade or a spell, or cast Fizzle to prevent them from using magic.Whack will work on them as well, and it's quite satisfying to give them a doseof their own medicine! (Mimics always drop Mini Medals so I have included thesein the main listing for Mini Medals.)

Now, still on the same floor, follow the path down the right side of the cave,and jump down when you reach the outside ledge.

-----------------Floors 7, 5 and 4-----------------Enter the cavern (floor 7) and walk left, and then down the passage to the

Page 112: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

outside. Jump down again when outside, and open a chest for [RESTLESS ARMOUR].

You're now on floor 5, so enter the cave opening and descend the stairs tofloor 4. Walk up, and open a visible treasure chest for a [YGGDRASIL LEAF].Follow the path to the right, past an island that you cannot reach just yet,and then up, to open two more chests. The first of these is another Mimic.Defeat it, to gain another [MINI MEDAL]. The chest to the right contains a[MINI MEDAL], but you don't have to fight for this!

From here, walk down and follow the passage to the left, which takes yououtside again. Open a chest for another [MINI MEDAL]. Return inside, and thengo right and down the steps to floor 3.

-----------------Floors 3, 2 and 1-----------------In front of you is another chest with [270 GOLD COINS]. Walk down the path tothe outside ledge, and then head back inside the left entrance to reach theleft side of the floor.

Walk left (don't jump down the hole) and down the stairs to floor 2. You'llarrive in the middle of this floor and there are various options now. First ofall go left and down the long path to the outside ledge. If you answer yes tothe man (and lie) he gives you a [T'N'T TICKET]. He then asks if you lost a[MINI MEDAL]. Again, answer yes and you'll get this, and there is a thirdquestion, with the same results. Keep answering NO to all three questions (tellthe truth) and you get a lot more bang for your buck. Basically, he is soimpressed that he gives you all three items! That's the ticket, the medal andthe [FLOWING DRESS].

Head back inside and you might be lucky to meet a Liquid Metal Slime. Take theleft stairs down to a small section of floor 1 and open a treasure chest for a[ROCKBOMB SHARD]. Return to floor 2. Now, walk to the right, and take thesesteps up to a small cave on floor 3.

----------------Floors 4 - 6 - 8

Page 113: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

----------------Go up the stairs from floor 3 to the island on floor 4, that you couldn't reachbefore. There's only one route and that's up and up again via floor 5, and thento floor 6. There is a treasure chest here with [1600 GOLD COINS] and threegaps in the floor. Ignore these if you want to get the rest of the treasure, orif you want a quick exit, jump down the middle one.

From floor 6 keep going up the stairs until you reach floor 8, where you willfind another room with a treasure chest. This is a MIMIC, and you will getanother [MINI MEDAL] when you beat him.

Climb the steps in the middle of the passage and immediately go back down thesesteps to emerge at the lower side of floor floor 8. There's another chest here,which contains the [STAFF OF DIVINE WRATH].

--------Floor 9-------Now, return back up the middle steps to floor 9 and in this next room there aretwo chests at the far left. The right hand one contains a [CHIMAERA WING], andthe other is a CANNIBOX monster. The other steps on floor 9 lead to floor 10and there is a hole to the right of this area. If you jump down, you will endup at the start of the dungeon again. I suppose it's a kind of long way round,short cut to Battenberg. Avoid this.

Instead, keep going back down all those stairs you climbed until you arriveback at floor 6, which is the cavern with the three holes in the floor.

------------------Floor 6 to Floor 1------------------Jump down the hole in the middle, (the other two will take you where you don'twant to go) and carry on down the passage to the outside, and finally jump downto the grass. Yay! Walk left and open a chest for a [DIEAMEND].

Go back inside the cavern and open the two chests. The one at the rightcontains a [SEED of AGILITY], and the top one is a another CANNIBOX. (Thesteps at the top just lead back to more steps that take you back to floor 6,

and a quick way back to Battenberg, if you jump down one of the side holes.)Walk left, and then down the passage, to find yourself outside again. You canchat to the person for some information, and when you continue down the pathyou will back on the world map. Don't be tempted to zoom anywhere yet, or you'dhave to go through all that again! Walk through the trees a few steps andyou'll be at Gotha Castle. Homecoming!

Gotha is a castle that hosts the town inside it, in case you were wonderingwhere the hell the town had disappeared to, and the ground floor area is thetown. You can walk through the front doors and straight down this floor, whereyou'll find a church and can save your game. If you want to stay incognito fora while, just chat to the citizens and learn a bit about the past and thepresent of Gotha and its king. You can explore this floor, and wander around abit, but you won't get past the guards into the the main castle.

To move on with the story, head to the right of the castle, just inside theouter wall, and enter the small house. Here you will meet Sancho, and he willescort you and your wife inside the castle, to meet Prince Albert. Events takeover for a while, and finally the truth about your wife's "illness" isrevealed. Talk to her for a comment (Debora's is the best), but she will leavethe party.

Check out the cupboards in this bedroom to find a [DIEAMEND] in the left one,and a [LACY BUSTIER] in the right. Enter the door in the lower wall of thebedroom, and pick up a [MINI METAL] from the balcony. Go through the hall tothe kitchen, and then into the bedroom behind it, and there is a [SEED OFRESILIENCE] in the left chest of drawers.

After finding the treasure, descend the stairs to the throne room. Albert willspeak and after this you will have another goal: to complete the Rite of

Page 116: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Passage and obtain the Royal Insignia. This place is in the forest to the eastof the castle, but there's more to do inside Gotha before starting this quest.The day will end, and the next day starts in the bedroom.

Return to the King's throne room and you can explore the castle. Leave theking's room by the front door and you can enter the door to the left and climbthe stairs to the roof if you wish, but there's nothing to find up there excepta chatty guard. Walk around the ramparts and enter the tower at the front ofthe castle. Go down one flight of stairs and talk to the guard who will let youthrough to floor 2.

-------Floor 2-------Go left to find the barracks bar, and you can chat to the guards and find outmore about the Prince and his chancellor, as well as comments from Tuppenceabout monster chess. Seems he's lost a piece. The next room has two treausrechests, but you need the Magic Key to open the door. There is a weapon shop atthe back of the lower floor and a man inside the room behind it will commentabout the Whealstone Bluestone. You cannot enter the bedroom at the top right.Enter the bathroom at the bottom right of the floor and you'll find a [MINIMEDAL] in the left of the two cabinets.

--------------------Floor 1 - Gotha Town--------------------Go down to the ground floor. If you head to the right you'll find some stairswhich lead into a small room where you can talk to the Queen's pet slime, andif you go all the way to the left, there are stairs that lead into anothersmall room with someone else who will talk to you. Both rooms have no items,though.

The armour shop is near the left steps, and the small house on the left side ofthe floor has a [TOMBOLA TICKET] in the right chest. There is a [SEED OFWISDOM] in the first barrel in the room behind the house. Go around to the

Page 117: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

front of the counter and this is the Item Shop.

Just to the left of the church you'll see a room with a row of pots. Breakthese to find: a [T'N'T TICKET] in the far left one, the next has a [MINIMEDAL], the middle one has nothing, and the next has a [SEED OF STRENGTH].

The room at the top right of the main floor has some steps up to theLibrary. There is a book entitled "The Rookie's Guide to Winning at Chess" inthe second set of shelves, (but no missing chess piece) and the librarian willmention Zenithia if you're interested enough to talk to him.

Return to Sancho's house and there is a [SEED OF LIFE] in the pot, and [BOXERSHORTS] in the left hand cupboard. That's the lot! By the way, if you head outfor a little monster bashing and want to rest, just go back to your bedroom andtalk to your wife and you can rest for free.

===============================================================================RITE OF PASSAGE - TRIALS ................................................ *W40===============================================================================

Location: Walk across the bridge to the east of Gotha Castle and then go north,to find the cave entrance.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TASK : Complete the Rite of Passage and find the Royal Insignia.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Items : Mini Medal, Spiked Armour, Royal Insignia, Talaria (in Gotha)Mini Medals : 34MM Rite of Passage: Treasure chest on 1st Underground level.Knick-Knacks: NoneEnemies : 065 Liquid Metal Slime(R), 104 Samigina(R), 107 Admirer, 108 Hex Hellmet, 109 Orc King(R), 110 Gasbag, 111 Hippoblockomus, 113 Hula Ghoul.Area Enemies: 101 Eyevory Tusk-Tusk, 102 Stone Golem, 104 Samigina(R), 105 Hocus Chimaera, 108 Hex Hellmet, 109 Orc King(R)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before starting this adventure, return to Fortuna or Lodestar Harbour and chatto Monty to add another monster to your entourage. You have an extra space

Page 118: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

since losing your wife, and it's worth while filling it up so the monster willgain from the experience even if you don't need an additional fighter. You willfind that everyone has been healed from your stay at Gotha, and you might wantto change equipment after receiving your wife's items (you'll find those insidethe bag) and buying new things at the castle. Decide who you want to take intothe cave with you as you will only be permitted to use four characters.

Enter the cave and walk up to find an instruction tablet. Your task is topromote communication, even between those whose backs are turned. There arefour doors and each room contains two birds on pedestals. All you have to do isfind the ones that you can turn to face each other. Stand on the blue switch atthe back of each room to make the statues move. Take the hint from the birdtile on the floor, and start with the right hand room. It only takes threepresses of the switch and they will now face each other.

Exit the room and now the bird tile points to another door, second from theleft. Use the switch again and after three presses, these birds are also facingeach other. Leave the room and you are in a new area with some stairs at thelower end of the passage. Go down to the next level.

While you're here, try and recruit the useful Orc King, and you might kill aLiquid Metal Slime for a nice boost to experience. Hero was level 26 by thetime I completed this dungeon, thanks to the LMS! The enemy to be cautious ofis the Admirer, because it can appear in groups and copy your party members.The better your team, the more powerful and annoying this enemy can be!

------------------------Second Underground Level------------------------From the stairs, walk up the room following the path until you find a treasurechest with a [MINI MEDAL].

Walk left along the passage and you'll be a room with a sandy floor and a holeat the bottom side. There's a locked gate ahead with a treasure chest behindit. At the left of the sandy floor you'll find some steps leading down to a

Page 119: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

lower floor, but there's nothing to find. This is where you will end up if youstep on the switch to open the door. There's a rock lying on the sand and Ithought the idea was to push the rock onto the switch and then forwards so youcan stand on the switch and be protected by the rock in front, but this doesn'twork. Instead, push the rock BEHIND the switch. Apparently it's heavy enough toprevent a wagon and eight characters from being swept back by the water.

March forwards and take the [SPIKED ARMOUR] from the chest. (I used this onGoodina, my slime knight.) Go through the silver blue door and take the stepsup to another room with two switches on the floor. The left oneopens a room to the left, and the right one...you've guessed it, but this isjust a small room with nothing in it. Go down the steps in the left room tofind another puzzle room.

-----------------------Third Underground Level-----------------------If you press either of the two switches in the centre of the room, the statuethat blocks the way forwards will move to one side or the other. Left to theleft, right to the right. So far so good, but there's another one blocking thefar end. All you have to do is press the upper blue switch of the two at theright of the area. This moves the statue up. Unfortunately you cannot see thestatue while on the switch, and while you're backing away to see if it's moved,you might inadvertently step on the lower of the two switches. This will moveit down again. If this happens then press the upper switch twice.

Finally, walk up the passage to the statue that you moved, and walk left orright to edge around the urns. Grab the [ROYAL INSIGNIA], and then you have towalk back down the room (no quick evacuation permitted) to face a boss battle.

o--------------------------o| B O S S - ROBBIN' HOOD |o--------------------------oRewards: 1352 experience, 560 gold coins.

Page 120: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Robbin is accompanied by a HIPPOBLOCKOMUS, which is just an ordinary enemy. Youcan put him to sleep and dazzle them both for effective protection. Get rid ofthe Hippo thing first, and then focus your attacks on Robbin. Even with Hero atlevel 26 Robbin' could inflict nearly 100 HP damage, so make sure to keep atfull health. Despite having dazzled him he can make some hits, so don't takeany chances! When his HP is getting low, he'll start to use midheal. If youhave anyone with Drain Magic this might prevent him doing that, but I didn't.

After the battle heal up if you like, but you don't have to stay any longer andcan use evac to leave the dungeon.

---------------Return to Gotha---------------Return to Gotha, and if it's night, you won't be allowed in to your own Castle!No matter, head to Sancho's house and you will rest for free. Next day, headback upstairs and speak to the king. Events will proceed. Chat to your wife andthe women in the bedroom, and then to the old woman in the hallway who willtell you go downstairs. Talk to the king and Sancho and then the two guards. Ifyou miss anyone the king will tell you what to do, and then...there will be asound of a baby crying. Return upstairs to greet your wife, and the newarrivals!

You now get the chance to name them. (The default names are Parry and Madchen,and this is what I will call them.) Next day is coronation day, and if youspeak to your wife you will gain some extra information about her background.Go downstairs, and you will be escorted to the coronation. Eventually you wakeup to find that the whole castle is asleep, (drugged more like...), and crashedout on the floor, including the priest. Make your way up to your room and checkthe bed (it's looks empty) to find that your wife has been kidnapped! (Thebabies are safe, at least). There will be a council of action in the large roomon the second floor.

Page 121: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

After the discussion, head for the exit of the room and there will be a scenewith Sancho. He's left in charge of the babies (and with the Zenithian Sword),and you've off to rescue your beloved.

Don't leave the castle though. Walk up to the right on this floor, and you canenter the Chancellor's room (at the top right corner). Open the cabinet to finda pair of [TALARIA]. These are shoes with wings attached. Head out to the worldmap and select to USE this item. You will land next to a blue building on thecoast to the west of Gotha.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: If you don't want to bother reading through all this, then just look atthe linked map. It shows you where to go and what you will find. If you want togo it alone it's a complicated place, at least, if it's your first timeexploring here, so be prepared for a lot of back-tracking.

------------Northminster------------You'll start out next to this abbey just across the river to the west of Gotha.It is a Zoom location so you can easily get back here to save and heal up ifyou need to. There is an inn costing 10 gold per person and a church, and youwill find out a bit about the whereabouts of the kidnappers, as well as someinformation about a special ink that will take many years to make.

If there's anything you still would like to do, now's the time to do it. Maybeexchange some Mini Medals, or buy some good things with Casino tokens. Depositas many Knick-knacks as possible and generally do anything you feel like doingbefore events take over...

--------Entrance--------From Northminster, walk due north and you will find Knightmare Towers. I thinkit's well-named. Before entering make sure you have a fully active party. Herowill be alone after the events at Gotha and you'll need to check out yourline-up. Also, you can only use a team of four inside, although you can stillrecruit monsters into the wagon. There's a chap here and his brother is in acave at the bottom of the steps around to the left of the Tower. You can end upin this small cave if you jump down one of the holes in the higher floors ofthe place, and it's a short cut back to the entrance. Enter the door at theleft and there is a healing place. You can enter the front door and there areenemies to fight from the start. Or you can you can go in through the door atthe right, and fight an additional monster!

Page 123: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

-------Floor 2-------If you enter from the door at the right, then there will be a Hellion to defeaton the next floor. It emerges from the teleporter in the right hand area. Killit, and enter the teleporter. Walk left and you are in a room with two treasurechests, two pots and two visible monsters. I guess the idea is that they blockthe way to the teleporters, but you could just smash the pots and avoidfighting them. The first pot contains an URNEXPECTED monster, and second is a[MINI MEDAL]. The first chest contains a [SEED OF STRENGTH] and the second onea [LEGERDEMANTLE] armour for a monster. The two teleporters lead to the two onthe same floor. Talk to the monsters if you want to fight two Hawk Men.

OR Enter the front door and walk up the stairs to the second floor. Then, godown the narrow path between the side rooms. Two enemies will emerge fromteleporters. A Hellion and a Orc King. Take out the Orc King first since itwill use Zing to bring it's mate back to life. Then use either teleporter toreach the room at the left side and take the treasure. Finally, leave thisfloor and walk up the stairs to the next.

----------------------Floor 3 - Spikes Room----------------------You might think this is simple, since there is just a large room with onetreasure chest set in it. Not so! This room has spikes that will appear toblock your path. To reach the chest, walk left two steps and then up the roomuntil no more spikes appear at your right. Then, walk right, to the chest. Thiscontains a [KAMIKAZE BRACER]. Return to the hole in the floor, and this timewalk directly up three steps, and then to the right wall. Follow this wall upto the stairs, and you are now on Floor 4.

----------------------Floor 4 - 6 East Tower----------------------Walk right and take the stairs up to floor 5, and then another set of stairs atthe far right of the room. You'll emerge on floor 6 East Tower, and there is a

Page 124: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

hole in the middle of the floor and an opening at the lower end of the room. Gothrough here, and down a ladder and then down another stairs to a small room onthe fourth floor. There are three treasure chests in here: the left onecontains [MAGIC WATER], the middle one [880 GOLD COINS] and the right one is aMIMIC, which will drop a [MINI MEDAL]. Return all the way back up to the roomwith the hole, and take the stairs or drop down to floor 5. Exit the doorway tothe left and you'll be outside and next to another hole in the floor. Drop downand this brings you back into the large room with the spikes. Just a short-cut,because now we're going to go up the West Tower.

-------------Floor 3 Again-------------Go down one step and then left three or four steps, and up to the wall. Followthe edge of the wall until you are stopped by spikes at the corner and then godown one step and right, just a couple, to reach the stairs. (If you have takena different route, then check out the details of where the spikes appear, onthe map I made. (See the link!)

-----------------------Floor 4 - 6 West Tower-----------------------Make your way across the broken pathway to the bottom right of the area, andthen head left. This left area has a hole at the top, and this is the one thatleads back to the cave. Jump down if you think you need healing, and don't haveenough MP left to use the Evac spell. If everything is fine, then walk up thestairs in the middle of this large room. On floor 5 walk straight down andthrough the opening to find a treasure chest with a suit of [ZOMBIE MAIL].

Walk around to the back of the room and you'll find the next set of stairs inthe back right corner. On Floor 6 you'll see some skeletons and what isobviously a nasty electrical looking dangerous floor. Look more closely andyou'll also notice two fire breathing dragon heads. These only activate whenyou stand in front of them, but are very powerful and will hurt your team.

Page 125: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Go through the open doorway to the right and across the bridge to the EastTower. Climb the stairs in here, and this takes you to your first real test.

-------------------------------------------Floors 7 and 8 - Fire-Breathing Dragon Heads-------------------------------------------Make your way up between the fire statues, by moving from one side to theother. They cannot reach you if you keep to the walls and they are set atintervals so this is perfectly possible. However, if you walk over to the leftof the area, there are more statues, but these are set directly opposite eachother, and unless you want to risk almost certain death for most of your team,then it's best to find another way of getting past these. Climb the stairs inthe top right corner near the first set of statues and you'll be on floor 8.

Here you'll find various rocks and holes in the floor. Push the rocks over tothe left hole (in the centre of the room) and drop them down. Don't forget toopen the two treasure chests at the far left of the room. The left one containsa valuable [YGGDRASIL LEAF] and the other has a [MINI MEDAL] .

The rock at the lower side of the hole is a ROCKBOMB monster. Be extremelycareful if you decide to fight this, as it can blow up in your face and killeveryone (or nearly everyone) with one Kamikaze attack.

Jump down the hole and collect your rocks. Push them to the left and be carefulto line them up to the dragon heads. The good news is that there are noenemies on this floor, so you won't get interrupted while pushing them around.The final two dragon heads at the bottom right are already out of commission,so the best plan is to block the three at the right. When you block one side,you can safely walk past the stone without triggering the fire from theopposite dragon head. Actually it's harder than it looks as you cannot move thecamera by much, and have to deal with all four of the team, which is a bitdistracting. I'd suggest blocking both of the first two statues and that givesyou a better chance to manipulate the second row stone into place withoutgetting burned.

| X 1 X | 1,2,3 stones |__ __| | X 2 X | | X O 3 X | | X O | - broken head | X O X | - already blocked

When you've passed these statues, you can walk up the stairs to Floor 8. Skirtaround the low wall and up the next set of stairs to Floor 9.

---------------------------------Floors 9, 10 and 3 - The Switches---------------------------------Not so far now. If you exit by the opening at the bottom right of the room, youcan see an enemy waiting for you on the roof of the Towers. However, you cannotcross this bridge yet. Take the stairs next to the upper wall of the room, andthis takes you to Floor 10. Walk around the low wall and you'll find a switchand some instructions. All you need do is flip this switch and one other, toconnect the passageway. Pull this lever, and then take the teleporter down to asmall room on Floor 3 where you can operate the second lever.

You'll also find a pot with another [MINI MEDAL], and two treasure chests, thelower one contains a [CHIMAERA WING] and the top one has yet another MIMIC. Imoved the lever first, in case it killed everyone, and at least, that way, I'dhave the bridge open if I had to return again. In fact, that's more or lessexactly what happened this time, and everyone bar Saber (the ex pet cat) died,but luckily the Kamikaze Bracelet on Hero killed the Mimic. Oh well, I wasrunning low on MP anyway, and at least I got the final [MINI MEDAL] for thisplace.

In case you are worried about what happened to me, I returned to the now openbridge and used a Chimaera Wing to escape. Dangerous things, those Mimics. :(And then, I had to climb all the way back to the top. Oh, and move the damnedstones back into position as well, so be warned. If you wish to leave then doso before moving the stones, or you'll have it all to do over again.

Page 127: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

-------------------Crossing the Bridge-------------------Return to Floor 10 from the lever room on 3, using the teleporter, and thenback down the stairs (behind the lever on floor 10) to floor 9. (West Tower).From here walk through the opening at the lower right and you can cross thebridge to floor 9 (East Tower). This is an empty room with central stairs thatlead to a room with water and the fallen body of Chancellor Jeeve. Talk to himand give him a good kicking if you like, (joking...) and then climb up to theroof.

--------The Roof--------You'll see that the way forwards is blocked. Fight the monsters and the blockswill be removed. You have to talk to them to initiate the battles.

o-----------------------o| B O S S - ORC PAWN |o-----------------------oRewards: 350 experience, 300 gold coins.

He's just an Orc and although he will use Kasap to lower everyone's defence,and then use physical attacks, you can simply put him to sleep or dazzle him.After defeating him, heal up, and walk across to the top of the other tower,and another monster.

o----------------------------o| B O S S - CHIMAERA PAWN |o----------------------------oRewards: 450 experience, 350 gold coins.

This one uses magic based attacks and can manage two in one turn: Crackle,Sizzle and Fierce Fire, which will hurt everyone for well over 50 HP if he doesthem at the same time. Keep healed and you could use Absorb Magic for Hero toavoid too much damage and add to his MP. Otherwise this boss is more vulnerableto direct physical attack than anything else. Dazzle seems to work on him,which at least minimises the effectiveness of his physical attacks. Winning

Page 128: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

this battle removes the final block, and you can descend to Floor 10 to findthe real boss. You might remember him from a long time ago.

o----------------------------o| B O S S - KON THE KNIGHT |o----------------------------oRewards:3000 experience No gold coins.

When the fight starts you won't be able to damage him at all. The best thing todo is to defend, have Hero use Absorb magic to benefit a little from his magicattacks, and heal up from the inevitable damage. His physical attack willinflict around 75 HP damage on one, and his spells are mostly all partyattacks. Chilly Breath will harm for anything up to 50 HP each depending onyour equipment. Magic Shields and anything that protects from ice attacks wouldhelp. Frizzle is a magic attack on one. You can dazzle him and this mitigatesthe danger from his physical attacks.

After a few rounds Kon will start to brag and threaten Hero. At this point wifejoins in and destroys his shield (although she doesn't join the active party).After this, you can damage him, so make sure to do just that!

When you defeat him...stuff happens, a lot of stuff... If you think thatnothing is happening, then use the directional buttons to prompt something.Other than that, it's just a matter of using the A button to scroll thedialogue.

It's eight years later, and you begin the third part of the game inside yourbedroom at Gotha Castle. After receiving the [MADALENA'S LOCKET], (automatic)leave the bedroom, and Parry and Madchen will talk to you and join the party.Walk down into the king's room, and Uncle Albert tells you that they've foundyour mother's birthplace, and shows you the location on the world map. It's thenorth-east continent, and the town is almost due north from Gotha, but acrossthe sea. Walk forwards, and Sancho tells you that the boat will be waiting foryou, that Monty the Monster Monitor is now in the castle, and that you can alsoadd human characters to your party by talking to Patty the Party Planner.("Party", as in team, not the dancing, eating and drinking kind of party, eventhough Patty is dressed as a bunny girl.)

---------------------------------Adding And Removing Party Members---------------------------------Pay attention to Sancho! He explains all this to you, but I guess with thatSpanish accent, it's easy to scroll through his words and then wonder why Parryand Madchen insist on staying at home, when you thought they would be with youfor the rest of the game. Although they will be with you when you begin thisthird generation, later on they might not be, and you must add them, if youwant them.

You know already how to add and remove monsters from your team of eight, well,now you can do exactly the same for the human characters, and this applies tothe remainder of the game. Monty and Patty are both found in the bar on thesecond floor of Gotha. That's the floor up the stairs from the town area andentrance, and the bar is to the left of the stairs. There is also a bank at thebar, staffed by a woman who's older than Patty, and doesn't wear a bunnycostume.

Up to this point you had various human characters forced on you: Pankraz,Harry, and Wife, but now you have the option to add or remove any humans.Sancho can join the party, and also a Gotha soldier called Tuppence. If you

Page 131: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

wish to recruit Tuppence, then go to the town part of Gotha, and you'll findhim in a room to the right. He's the green clad soldier, in a room on his own,behind the inn. Talk to him, then visit Patty in the bar, and you can add himto the party. You can also add Sancho, and remove the twins, (one or both ofthem) as you wish.

I'd recommend adding Sancho now, and keeping both the twins in the wagon for awhile. In fact, you need them for a number of tasks, and they both have someexcellent skills so it's well worth your while to let them level up a bit andthen use them in battle. Also, they are totally cute, and you can make good useof the Talk option, especially for these early visits to old friends. TakeTuppence along as well, and you will be able to obtain another Knick-Knack.

----------------------------------New Recruits: Equipment and Spells----------------------------------Sancho, Tuppence, Madchen (daughter) and Parry (son) are all playablecharacters. See the lists of characters' spells for details of their eventualskills and spells, and although Tuppence has none, he can use some rareequipment.

DaughterJoins at level 5 with Staff of Antimagic, Robe of Serenity, Scale Shield, andFur Hood. Her skills at this level are Zoom, Crack and Dazzle.

SonJoins at level 5 with Morning Star, Full Plate Armour, Magic Shield and IronHelmet. He will also have the Zenithian Sword in his inventory and you shouldequip this, together with the Zenithian Shield (that you found in one of thetreasure chests in Rod's mansion in Mostroferrato.) His only skill, at thislevel, is Fizzle, but he learns many extremely helpful skills, and is likely tobe in your active team for most of the game

SanchoJoins at level 20 with Sledgehammer, Boxer Shorts, Pot Lid, and Top Hat.His skills at this level are: Kabuff, Storeyteller, and Snooze. Storeyteller(not a mis-spelling) will tell you exactly where you are in any dungeon or

tower.

TuppenceJoins at level 1 with Steel Broadsword, Iron Armour, Iron Shield, and IronHelmet.

===============================================================================HELMUNAPTRA AND OTHER VISITS ............................................ *W43===============================================================================

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TASK : Obtain the Zenithia Helm. Fight the Merry Men. Revisit places with the twins. Recruit new monsters.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Items : Zenithia Helm (Helmunaptra), Hermes Hat & Hela's Armour (Coburg), Silk Bustier (Stockenbarrel).Mini Medals : NoneKnick-Knacks: Monster Chess Set (Gotha), Tusk-Tusk Tusk Inkwell (Northminster)New Spell : Hocus Pocus (Zoomingale)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At this point there are a number of things you can do, but if you just want toprogress with the main story then visit Helmunaptra, and skip to the nextsection. However, it's worth while taking some time to complete the rest ofthese visits, and you can also find new monsters at some old locations, and oldmonsters, at some new places!

--------------------1. HELMUNAPTRA AGAIN - (Essential)--------------------Task: Obtain the Zenithia Helm.

Zoom to the town and enter the castle to find the queen again. Descend thestairs to the garden and speak to her. You will then follow her all the wayback to the Tower with the Helm. Check the Helm (it doesn't matter if Parryisn't in the lead, but he must be present) and events will unfold. That'sall you need to do, although the queen can be found again on the top floor

Page 133: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

throne room if you wish to talk to her again. You'll obtain the [ZENITHIA HELM]and should equip this to Parry.

----------------2. MOSTROFERRATO - (Essential - but not yet!)----------------TASK: Defeat Bjorn to gain the Ultimate Key.

Visit the town, and when you enter there will be a scene. Find Rodriguez in hismansion, and agree to help him. See the separate section for details of thistask. You can accept it now, and complete the first stage of visiting thePothold, but it's unlikely that you will be powerful enough to defeat Bjorn.You must do so eventually, as you require the Ultimate Key, but you can safelyleave this for a while.

-----------------3. COBURG - HARRY - (Optional)-----------------TASK: Obtain the Hermes Hat.

Make your way to the room above the throne room to meet with Harry. The kids gooff to play, and you won't be permitted to leave the castle until you've pickedup the twins. They are wandering in the corridor to the right, down the stairsfrom the throne room, near Harry's old room. It seems that Harry's son ismissing.

Go inside Harry's old room and enter the hidden staircase next to the door,where you'll find Kendrick doing the same sort of thing as his dad! Return toHarry's room at the top of the castle. (Exit the left door of this hall intothe garden and then go through the other door into kitchen, and then left andup the stairs. Lastly go right, into the circular hall and up again to the toproom.) Talk to Kendrick and you will be given the [HERMES HAT]. It goes intothe bag, but you can equip this to Madchen.

----------------4. THE MERRY MEN - (Optional)----------------TASK: Defeat the Merry Men at Coburg and Stockenbarrel.

COBURG CASTLE

Page 134: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

While in Coburg Castle, head out to the left part of the roof from the largecircular throne room, and you'll see a treasure chest down on the grass to theleft. It's guarded by someone and that's something to investigate! From thetown, walk over the drawbridge (during the day) and then head left, keepingclose to the castle wall, until you run into this shadowy figure.

o-----------------------o| B O S S - MERRY MAN |o-----------------------oRewards: Experience 750, 150 Gold Coins.

He will use a sleep spell that is pretty effective, so have Parry cast Fizzleto prevent him from using magic. If you've recruited Sancho he can Buffeveryone. Madchen is best with her Crack magic spell for this battle, althoughDazzle does not seem to be effective against this enemy. You don't have accessto the rest of the wagon here, so change the line-up before starting thisbattle if you want to use some more powerful monster allies, but this team willfind the battle easy.

After the battle you'll get the [HELA'S ARMOUR] from the chest. This is goodarmour for Sancho, but it reduces his agility to naught, and is cursed.

STOCKENBARRELNow, sail the ship up the river from Mostroferrato and land at the signpost tothe east of the river gate. Walk to Stockenbarrel. Here you can chat to Biancaif you didn't marry her (and remind yourself why you made the rightdecision...sorry Bianca fans). Look down to the left of Whitey's house andthere is another shadowy figure next to a treasure chest. Walk under the houseand left, to find another Merry Man.

o-----------------------o| B O S S - MERRY MAN |o-----------------------oRewards: Experience 750, 150 Gold Coins.

This battle is a carbon copy of the last one, with the same battle rewards.Open the chest to find a [SILK BUSTIER].

------------------------

5. WHEALBROOK'S NEW SHOP - (Optional)------------------------TASK: Buy new weapons at the new shop.

Head back here to find that nothing much has changed but there is a new weaponshop (where the old one used to be) with some very good, but VERY expensivestuff.----------------------.-------.------------------------------------------------WEAPON SHOP (PART 3) | Cost | Effect----------------------+-------+------------------------------------------------Poison Moth Knife | 900 | +24 ATK May paralyse target.War Hammer | 6500 | +60 ATKZombiesbane | 11500 | +80 Damages the undead.Ionospear | 13500 | +65 ATK Use for lightning attack.Dragonsbane | 15000 | +90 ATK.

-------------------------6. ZOOMINGALE'S NEW SPELL - (Optional)-------------------------TASK: Visit Professor Trubble for a new spell: Hocus Pocus.

Return to the Professor's home. (Straight up the steps and turn left. Followthe path all the way around the back of the town until you go down some steps.Then, turn right, and go under the upper level until you reach his garden.)He's in bed, but talk to him to learn another spell: HOCUS POCUS. It willautomatically appear in Hero's spell list.

-----------------------------7. NORTHMINSTER'S KNICK-KNACK - (Optional)-----------------------------TASK: Obtain the Tusk-Tusk Tusk Inkwell Knick-Knack.

Talk to the man staying in the inn at the Northminster Abbey place (you canzoom there) in the third generation and he will have this item, and give it toyou. You need the [TUSK-TUSK TUSK INKWELL] for another Knick-Knack, (Madalena'sLocket, upgraded) so if you display it, remember where you left it!

-------------------------8. TUPPENCE'S KNICK-KNACK - (Optional)-------------------------

Page 136: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

TASK: Recruit Tuppence and then obtain the [MONSTER CHESS SET] Knick-Knack.

Recruit Tuppence, the Gotha soldier into your team. (His room is to the righton the first level of the castle). After he's fought with you, (actually onebattle is sufficient, and he doesn't even have to be in the active team) takehim out again and then visit him in his room at Gotha Castle. (He's such asweetie, and standing on guard even at night.) Then, he will give you the chessset, if you agree to take it.

--------------------------------------------9. KNICK-KNACKATORY AND DOMINICUS'S DOMINION - (Optional)--------------------------------------------TASK: Place some Knick-Knacks and use Mini Medals to buy new equipment.

You will find Sue Veneer (souvenir *groan*), the new receptionist, if you haveattracted some visitors, and she will show you a list of the knick-knacksyou've already obtained, and those that you have still to find. She also tellsyou that the higher rated items should be placed on the higher floors. Returnanother time after adding some more knick-knacks, and you can find Old Nick inhis bedroom, and he'll give you the accumulated visitor money. (So far as Iknow you can only get the money once and it's not a lot.)

===============================================================================SAILING THE SEAS AGAIN (Optional) ....................................... *W44===============================================================================

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TASK : Board your ship at Gotha and sail away!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Sea Enemies : 183 Suckling Ocker, 185 Pollywaggle, 186 Seadog, 188 Wallop Scallop, 191 Old Man of the Sea(R), 192 Merking, 193 Poltarrrgeist,Middle Sea En:088 Cureslime(R), 186 Seadog, 189 Mother Ocker, 191 Old Man of the Sea(R), 192 Merking, 193 Poltarrrgeist, 194 Strongylokrotaphus.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 137: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Your real goal is to sail northeast from Gotha and find the sea cave (Estuary)that leads you to Lofty Peak, but you can take your time and visit these placesfirst. One is just for old times sake, but the other two will net some items,and some recruitable monsters. You don't have to visit these places now, andcould wait until you have a faster means of transport.

Also, note that because you have wider access with the ship, its previouslocations will change a little. For example: when you zoom to Coburg the shipis waiting for you on the river to the southwest, and it won't appear on thetiny lake next to the castle. Even the enemies in the middle sea area havechanged slightly, although the ones in the sea close to Stockenbarrel are thesame as before.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------i. MOOT POINT (NORTH OF LOFTY PEAK)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TASK : Find this house at the far north of the eastern continent. Obtain items.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Items : T'n'T Ticket, Mini Medal, Seed of Wisdom, Dieamend.Mini Medals : 40MM Moot Point: In the cellar room inside a cupboard.Knick-Knacks: NoneEnemies : 117 Air Duckt, 121 Hypothermion, 123 Golem(R), 124 Mandrake Major, 125 Firebird.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Land at the far north of the continent and there is a shrine type buildinghere, called Moot Point. Enter, and answer No to the man's question, and youwill hear about a helmet called the Sun Crown, that protects from Kamikazeattacks. There is a [SEED OF WISDOM] in the right pot and a [T'N'T TICKET] inthe left one. Go down stairs and there is a [MINI MEDAL] in the cupboard and atreasure chest that contains a [DIEAMEND]. This item will save a character'slife if kept in their personal inventory. I wouldn't use it now, but save itfor a hard boss fight, since these items are rare. There is nothing of interestin the bookshelves or inside the well.

Page 138: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------ii. THE PORGIE ESTATE (ISLAND)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TASK : Find this small island at the far southeast. Obtain items.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Items : T'n'T Ticket, Mini Medal.Mini Medals : 41MM The Porgie Estate: In the left cupboard inside the bedroom.Knick-Knacks: NoneEnemies : 012 Bona Constrictor, 021 Will-o'-the-Whips, 025 Ghost(R), 026 Wax Murderer(R).-------------------------------------------------------------------------------You can land at the small island in the southeast corner of the world map. Thisis the home of Mr and Mrs Porgie. Pay them back for all that kicking, and raidtheir house. There's a [T'n'T TICKET] in the left cupboard inside the bedroom,and a [MINI MEDAL] inside the right one. That's all, although you can talk tothe sad parents.

Now, this is an interesting island for one reason. The monsters you find hereare the ones from Uptaten Towers from the first part of the game. You couldn'trecruit any then, and after completing the Towers the monsters inside alldisappeared. Fight for a few minutes here, and you should be able to recruitboth a Wax Murderer and Ghost.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------iii. AUCTION SITE-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TASK : Find this small shrine type building. Reminisce.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Items : NoneEnemies : 140 Silvapithecus, 147 Snake Ch-arm-er, 148 Thwarthog, 149 Orobas, 150 Snowbird(R)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Sail along the coast at the far north of the northern continent, and you willfind this small building nestled between some mountains, and on the edge of thecoast. It's just to the west of the large mountainous region that is colouredwhite on the world map.

Page 139: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

This place be will familiar, as it's where Hero and Wife were auctioned asstatues. Use the Talk option for some poignant comments from your family, and,other than that, there is no purpose to this visit. The monsters, found on thesmall patch of land next to the building, are the same as the ones near theMantleplace, which is on the far side of the mountains. The Mantleplacelocation is found by following the river (west from Coburg) and landing on thenorthern bank. However, you need the Ultimate Key to open the door inside andfor that, you must beat Bjorn in Mostroferrato. (See the separate sections onboth of those.)

===============================================================================ESTUARY SANCTUARY ........................................................*W45===============================================================================

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TASK : Find the entrance to the Estuary and sail all the way through to Lofty Peak.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Items : Hades' Helm, Mini Medal.Mini Medals : 42MM Estuary Sanctuary: In a treasure chest on a small island.Knick-Knacks: NoneEnemies : 088 Cureslime(R), 127 Blizzybody(R) 128 Stenchurion, 129 Necromancer, 181 Man o' War(R), 189 Mother Ocker.Area Enemies: 183 Suckling Ocker, 185 Pollywaggle, 186 Seadog, 188 Wallop Scallop, 191 Old Man of the Sea(R), 192 Merking, 193 Poltarrrgeist.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You will find the ship waiting for you just a few steps to the north of GothaCastle. This means that you can now access the waters to the north of Gotha,and the unexplored eastern continent, and set off to find Lofty Peak,Madalena's birthplace. Head northeast, edging up the narrow channel, until youreach the open sea. Then, turn southeast and sail around the southern tip ofthe eastern continent. Head north, keep close to the coast, until you reach a

Page 140: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

small indent in the coast. Here you will find a cave opening. Sail inside.

Watch out for the Necromancer monster, who will stop you from using spells, aswell as casting bounce, which reflects spell damage. (A bit pointless if theyhave already stopped you from casting spells.) Be cautious if you meet largegroups of Man o' War monsters who can paralyse everyone. Fortunately you haveaccess to the wagon and can switch party members when you need to.

Follow the waterway, and at the junction sail straight on. You can land at theleft, and walk left and up some steps to find a chest at the top. This containsa [HADES' HELM]. Return to the ship and continue sailing. The next patch ofland has nothing, so don't bother landing here. Keep going, following theriver, until you reach a small island. Land here, and open the treasure chestfor a [MINI MEDAL]. Continue sailing (it's quite a long way) until you go undera bridge spanning the water. From here head down the river, and you will emergeat the world map. (If you go up river, you'll land on a platform, behind whichis a locked door. You'll return here later, but there's nothing else to do fornow.) Sail down the river to the end, and then walk a few steps to the west andenter the town of Lofty Peak. After this, you can Zoom back here, and don'thave to go through the waterway again.

===============================================================================LOFTY PEAK (AND MAGIC KEY DOORS) .........................................*W46===============================================================================

This is where you will learn more about your mother, Madalena, and yourultimate task. Talk to people for glimpses into the past, and raid the town.

The Church is straight up the steps and to the left, and the inn is directlyahead, and it's only 40 Gold a night. There is nothing to find and no-one totalk to in the inn. The weapon and armour shops are to the right, and if you goup the stairs inside here, you emerge at the next level of the town. The houseto the left of this exit has a [MINI MEDAL] in the left cupboard. Before goinghigher, walk to the right and down the stairs, and enter the house set betweenthe towers. Answer the question truthfully (of course) and you will learn aboutthe Magic Carpet and key. There are three pots in the kitchen area and themiddle one has a [SEED OF RESILIENCE]. There's also a book with some commentsabout a long gone leader. The man in the kitchen will explain that he once wasa craftsman in Gotha. If you have the Whealbrook Bluestone, he will recogniseit, and offer to cut the stone for you. Agree to this, and return to pick up

Page 142: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

the [WHEALBROOK SAPPHIRE], after staying a night at the inn. (Any inn will do.)

From this house, continue going down the path and left, you can reach thetreasure chest and find the [MAGIC KEY]. Walk back up this path to where thegirl stands, and to the right there is an opening in the wall. Go inside andfollow the passage, and use the key to open the treasure chest. YAY! The[FLYING CARPET] is ours! Also, the Magic Key can open other doors elsewhere.

Now, wend your way up to the building at the top of the town, and enter. Hereyou will find the four elders who will explain the way the world works. Thereare three worlds: the realm of the holy ones, the realm of humans and theunderworld. The people of Lofty Peak are the gatekeepers who prevent the worldsfrom interacting with each other, and they give a hint about the gates of theEstuary Sanctuary in the watery corridor to the north. (That's the place youcame through in the ship, and can return when you have the necessary items.)After speaking to them all, climb the stairs and speak to the girl in thisroom. She will give you a book [LOFTY LILTS]. This is a knick knack. You haveto walk back down to exit this room, but after leaving the tower, you can zoomoff anywhere. Don't forget to return to collect the Sapphire.

-------------FLYING CARPET-------------Leave the town and find a patch of ground that is smooth and large enough foryou to roll out the carpet. If it's not suitable, you'll be told. Although thecarpet won't go over mountains or forests, it's very useful since you avoidbattles while flying. It is also faster than the ship. I keep it in thepersonal inventory of Hero or Parry (who is always in my party) so I know whereto find it. You can use it from the bag as well, though. Just highlight it withthe cursor and choose "Use" from the options on the bottom screen. You can nowexplore some areas of the world map that you couldn't access without thecarpet.

To progress the story you need to find a tower in the central continent. Thisplace is called the "Stairway to Zenithia". In fact, you CAN do things in a

Page 143: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

different order, and find your way back to Faerie Lea through the forest to theeast of Mostroferrato, but the faeries will tell you to go to the Stairway.

To reach Faerie Lea, use the carpet to cross the river to the east ofMostroferrato and walk down through the wooded area to the south where you'llfind Neverglade. Navigate the pathways and find the (invisible) fairy and Parrywill lead you out of the magical forest and back to Faerie Lea. (See theseparate section for more details.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------MAGIC KEY DOORS (Optional)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TASK : Open all the Magic Key doors and collect the treasure.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Items : 15 Gold Coins, Stone Fangs, Thorn Whip, Seed of Life, 3000 Gold Coins, Meteorite Bracer,Mini Medals : NoneKnick-Knacks: None-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zoom to all these locations.

1. RoundbeckSay no to a drink from the barmaid (the pub is at the top left corner of thetown) and she will open the door to the bar. Go down into the cellar and openthe door to two treasure chests containing [15 GOLD COINS] and [STONE FANGS].

2. Lodestar HarbourEnter the inn and go behind the dancer's stage. Walk right and open the reddoor at the end of the corridor. Head up the stairs and open two treasurechests containing a [THORN WHIP] and [SEED OF LIFE].

3. Gotha CastleHead up the stairs at the entrance and then walk left on the second floor. Openthe red door to the room that adjoins the bar, and you will find two treasurechests containing [3000 GOLD COINS], and the [METEORITE BRACER]. This is a veryuseful accessory that doubles agility.

4. Fortuna

Page 144: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Walk to the top wall of the town and head left. There is a small hole leadingdown into the jail. Open the red door with the key and talk to the man. All hedoes is tell you that the second from left of the back row (of blue slots) inthe Casino, has a better rate of payout. (Can't say I noticed much difference.)

===============================================================================STAIRWAY TO ZENITHIA (TOWER) .............................................*W47===============================================================================

Location: At the south side of the central continent.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TASK : Find the Magma Staff at the top of the Tower.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Items : Diamond Akillics, Yggdrasil Leaf, Mini Medal, Seed of Strength, T'n'T Ticket, Magma Staff.Mini Medals : 44MM Stairway to Zenithia: Floor 5, inside a treasure chestKnick-Knacks: NoneEnemies : 107 Admirer, 116 Hoodlum(R), 117 Air Duckt, 121 Hypothermion, 130 King Cureslime(R), 132 Hippopotamiss, 133 Gargoyle, 134 Warhog(R).Area Enemies: 065 Liquid Metal Slime(R) 119 Pink Elephant, 122 Muddy Hand, 123 Golem(R), 126 Revaulting Horse, 129 Nercomancer, 131 Red-Hot Poker, 199 Conkuistador(R), 200 Conkerer(R), 201 Conkuisitor(R), 202 Conkjurer(R)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Tower is situated at the south side of the middle continent, and it's notthat obvious why you should go there. You might have noticed a ghostly lookingcastle in the lake near Lofty Peak, and, close by, the entrance to a cave thatis blocked with large rocks. This is a roundabout route to that castle, butfirst you need something that will remove those rocks. (I only found that thiswas the correct place to go, first time through, by investigating places on theworld map that I hadn't yet explored. Although, if you find your way back toFaerie Lea, then Treacle will tell you about the Stairway.)

Page 145: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

First of all, zoom to the Knick-Knackatory island. (Note that this same set ofenemies appears on the island.) Then, use the Flying Carpet to cross the narrowstrip of sea heading north. This takes you to the central continent, and youcan fly over the purple water and then cross the river, still on the carpet.Hop off on the far side and walk north a few steps to find a large blue tower.You can only take four of the team inside.

The encounter rate is fairly low in here, so you shouldn't have too muchtrouble with the monsters. You will find the King Cureslime in this tower, andhe is well worth recruiting, if you can manage it. Return here when your levelsare higher and you may have a better chance to recruit him. If you intend to doeverything the game offers, then this monster is pretty much essential. He hasthe spell Omniheal when first recruited, and the only other monster with thisis the Epipany, although Healslime and Cureslime get Omniheal at level 30.

Enter the tower and climb the stairs to the first floor. From here, climb upeither set of stairs at the far side of the ground floor: you have to walkaround the pool area to reach the far side. Both stairs lead to a smaller roomwith a statue of a woman and two more sets of stairs

---------------------Floor 2/3/4 Left Side---------------------The stairs at the bottom left corner lead to a room with a doorway, and throughhere is a man complaining he can't get higher. Don't bother with that, and justtake the stairs again, and these lead to small room with a chest containing[DIAMOND AKILLICS], a weapon only for Debora.

----------------------Floor 2/3/4 Right Side----------------------Return to the statue room and take the lower right stairs up. This leads to around platform in front of some large doors. Enter the doors to find a[YGGDRASIL LEAF] in a treasure chest. (No, this room is not an elevator.) Stepon the blue platform and this takes you up. Walk around the central room (some

Page 146: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

large doors lead to a small empty room) and step onto the round platform at thefar side. This takes you to the fifth level.

-------Floor 5-------Step off the platform and enter the large doors. Then, go down the steps intoanother room with a statue. Walk left through some doors, and you are in alarge room with a pool in the centre. There are two sets of steps leading up.First, take the ones just down from the door. This leads to an open room with atreasure chest and a [MINI MEDAL]. Return to the large room and climb the upperleft steps. This takes you to a tower with a long ladder and another round blueplatform. (This just returns you to floor 2, and if you take it down, you canuse it to bring you back to floor 5 and the ladder.) Climb up the ladder.

-------Floor 8-------The long ladder takes you to floor 8. Take either set of stairs: the nearestones are at the left if you walk down the red carpet. You will see a man on topof a room, but, first of all, walk all the way to the right, and climb down ashort ladder. Enter the doorway and go down the hole at the far side of thisroom. Break the two pots to find a [SEED OF STRENGTH], and [T'N'T TICKET].There's nothing in the barrels. Return to the previous area, and this timeenter the doors, and climb up to the roof. You'll meet a white robed (andexcited) man, standing next to some broken stairs. After he's done beingsurprised, walk to the corner and check out the red item. (Just use the Abutton on it.) You will receive the [MAGMA STAFF], and can zoom out of here.

(He explains that the castle of Zenithia has been toppled into a lake, andtells you to use the Magma Staff to destroy rocks that impede your passage intoa cave.)

===============================================================================DIGGERY POKERY ...........................................................*W48

Page 147: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

===============================================================================

Location: Eastern continent, south of Lofty Peaks.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TASK : Use the Magma Staff to unblock the cave. Rescue the trapped man. Find your way through the Diggery Pokery to the Water Castle.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Items : Seed of Life, 950 Gold Coins, Mini Medal, Magic Water, 750 Gold Coins, Staff of Salvation.Mini Medals : 45MM Diggery Pokery: Floor 2, inside third treasure chest.Knick-Knacks: NoneEnemies : 128 Stenchurion, 134 Warhog(R), 135 Hades Helm(R), 136 Prowler Jowler, 137 Hyperpyrexion, 138 Terrorceratops, 139 Mandrake Marauder.Area Enemies: 116 Hoodlum(R), 118 Tortoceratops, 120 Drag-goon, 121 Hypothermion, 123 Golem(R), 124 Mandrake Marauder-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is an area of the eastern continent just to the south of Lofty Peak, butonly accessible from the western coast Sail there from Gotha or from Fortuna(or use the Flying Carpet) and walk towards the lake you can see from the worldmap. There is a sunken castle, and next to it, a cave entrance that is blockedwith stones.

Stand in front of the stones, and use the Magma Staff from your inventory orbag, to destroy the boulders that block the entrance. Watch the fireworks! Now,enter the cave and be prepared for carts and switches. The good news is thatyou can't mess up. Every cart can be moved as many times as you like, and youcan find a way through by trial and error, or follow these instructions andsave yourself hours of frustration. The enemy encounter rate is low and you canonly take in four active party members.

--------Floor 2--------Enter the cave and descend the hole in the floor to floor 2. Follow the tracksto the left and you will arrive at the right side of a large cavern with lots

Page 148: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

of carts and tracks. Jump in the first cart (approach from the right or left),and this takes you all the way around to the far side. Walk to the right, pastthe switch and you'll find the first treasure chest containing [950 GOLDCOINS]. Walk down the track from the switch to find the second chest with a[SEED OF LIFE].

Go back to the switch and change the points (move the switch). Hop in the cartand you will end up next to the third chest. This contains a [MINI MEDAL]. Walkto the right from here, and leave the first switch as it is. Walk down andchange the second one. Walk back up the short track and get inside the cart.This will take you to the bottom left corner of the room, next to a hole downto the next floor.

--------Floor 3--------Enter the first cart you find, which takes you all the way around to the farleft of the cavern. Walk down and open the treasure chest for a [MAGICWATER]. Now, take the second cart here, (just below the first one), and thisreturns you to the beginning of the area. Hit the switch near the cart, and getback in the cart, and you'll ride back, next to the first cart that you rode.Take this same cart again (the lower of the two), and this time it will takeyou over the water and you'll land close to a treasure chest. Open it for [750GOLD COINS].

There's another cart just to the right of the chest, so hop in this one toreturn to the left side of the water. Now, it's time to move the points here.Get back inside the cart you just exited (the one to the left of the switch)and you will ride down to the bottom left corner of the area.

Walk up the short ladder and enter the cart here, and it will take you all theway around the cavern and up the centre into the next cave.

------------Worship Room-----------

Page 149: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Walk left and up, and you can heal in the green light and save your game with aghostly priest. You could spend some time fighting in this room, since you canheal up for free. With a lot of luck you might recruit a Hades Helm, but evenif you don't, this is a good place to level up. Change both switches, and enterthe cart to take you to the top right corner, and the stairs down to the nextfloor.

-------Floor 4-------Walk up the room and past the chap whirling around in a cart. Change the lowerof the two switches and wait until he has passed this point, and stoppedcircling around. Then, change the other switch. Finally, walk back down thecave to find the man, who has fallen out of the cart. His name is Dr. Agon andhe's very grateful to have been rescued. He will join the party, but not as anactive member.

Enter the cart next to him and it will now go all the way to the top of thecave. Walk down the steps at the left, and you can enter the door if you wantto have a quick chat, but there is nothing to find in this room. Walk all theway down the left side of the cavern and there are some stairs back to theprevious floor. Open the treasure chest for the [STAFF OF SALVATION]. Return toFloor 4 and leave the cavern through the opening at the middle of the far wall,(where the cart stopped).

----------------------Floor 4 - Large Cavern----------------------This looks confusing, and it is! At least there aren't any treasure chests toworry about, and the only thing to concentrate on is getting out of here!

Jump in the cart immediately in front of you and it desposits you down the caveon the right of the rocks. Walk up and change the second of the two switches atthe right of the tracks, and then the third one (at the left). Walk back downto the cart and ride it to the top of the cavern. It will tip you out next to

Page 150: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

another cart. Enter this one, and you will end up at the bottom left corner.

Walk right, and down the sloping steps, and then follow the track up (stillwalking) and change the second switch you find. (It's the one at the right ofthe sloping piece of track.) Walk back down and take the cart next to thesloping steps. This will take you over the sloping track and to the top left ofthe cave. Hop inside the cart here, and it will take you all the way around thecavern and end up at the middle of the top wall. Walk up through the opening tothe final area.

------------Deepest Part------------There are no treasures in here either, and all you need to do is change thesingle switch, and ride the cart. The train will push you all the way to theend.

===============================================================================ZENITHIA - WATER CASTLE ..................................................*W49===============================================================================

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TASK : Find the location of the missing orb, and what to do next!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Items : NoneMini Medals : NoneKnick-Knacks: NoneEnemies : None-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You are in Zenithia, the underwater castle that fell from the sky. Most doorscannot be accessed because of the watery floor, and even the one that can beopened doesn't reveal anything. Head up the centre stairs and the Doctor willcomment, but just carry on going up more stairs, and into the throne room. Hetells you there is a secret passage behind the throne. Walk around to the back

Page 151: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

of the throne and press A to check the floor. You will discover the stairsdown, and a long ladder. Descend.

In the hallway, walk to the right, and Dr. Agon will explain a few things. Talkto him again, and he will meditate on the remains of the missing orb. You willsee a golden light drop onto the two graves that you and Bianca visited allthose years ago, when Bianca acquired the gold orb. Memories of past events areshown to remind you of what happened, and how the orb was shattered. The Doctorsuggests asking the Faerie Queen to make another orb. (There is a silver one atthe left side of the area, and both are required to restore Zenithia to theskies.)

The Doctor will wait at the orb and you must leave and find a route back to therealm of the fairies. He will tell you that there is a forest somewhere thatwill take you there. Go back up the ladder to the throne room and use yourzoom spell from here, as it won't work lower down.

Page 152: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Make sure that one of the twins is in the party before setting out. I don'tknow how you are supposed to know where to find this place, but I guess it'sjust yet another area you couldn't access before getting the Flying Carpet.Anyhow, starting from Montroferrato, head east, and use the carpet to cross thepurple water and you will see a river and a bridge to the south. Fly south andland near the bridge. Cross the next bridge to the east and walk down theforested area towards the south. You will see a strange open square amidst thetrees. Enter this area, and you will be in Neverglade.

There are a lot of potential recruits in this area, and in Neverglade. Bewareof the BomBoulder, as it will use Kerplunk, which revives a group of enemies.(They also drop a Dieamend!)

-----------------------------------Finding Your Way Through Neverglade-----------------------------------This is one of those endless woods where you can easily find yourself wanderingaround aimlessly and ending up back where you started. It also hides a fewitems, that you'll find if you follow these instructions, although thefastest route is simply to take the right path, and then go right again whenyou come to the pond, and finally head up the path to the fire.

If you want the treasure then, from the start, walk straight ahead and you willfind a house. The pots outside contain nothing, but the one inside has a [MINIMEDAL], and the chest contains an [ELFIN ELIXIR]. The chap tells you the nameof the forest.

Continue up the path and you arrive at a glade with two tree stumps, but that'sall. Carry on down, and you end up by the pond. From here walk right, and thereis a treasure chest with [1500 GOLD COINS], at the crossroads. Then, walk up,and on the next screen you will find a small fire burning. Before proceedinghead back down to find a different area, with a treasure chest containing the[FAERIE FOIL] sword. Equip this to Madchen, and return to the area with thefire.

Page 153: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Walk to the fire and turn to the left, where there is an invisible faerie thatonly one of the twins can see. The twin will take over and lead you to theexit. (If you return here later, then you can see the nearly invisible faerie,and talk to them.) One of the twins MUST be in the active party to talk to theFaerie.

You'll follow the path through the left exit and then up at the junction. Youwill arrive at an area with a pond and lily pads, and a small building. There'sa narrow path leading to the left before crossing the pond. Follow it until youreach the treasure chest. Open this to find a [T'N'T TICKET]. Groups of MetalSlimes seem to appear in this room more often than elsewhere in Neverglade.

Finally, cross the lily pond and enter the teleporter device, and you will beback at the Faerie country, and Faerie Lea will appear on the list of ZoomMagic locations.

You will be back at a familiar place, (twenty years after your first visit as achild) and the village of Faerie Lea is next to the teleporter. Walk up thepath to the large tree, and head up the stairs to the top room. Here, you'llmeet a couple of old friends, Honey and Treacle. (If you haven't yet exploredthe Stairway to Zenithia, she will tell you to do that first, and find the lostcastle.)

If you have found the waterlogged castle, then Treacle will ask a question. Sayyes, and you will get the [FAERIE HORN]. Sherbet, the faerie in the library,will explain that you must find a lake in the middle of a dense forest,surrounded by mountains. This is where you blow the horn and the palace willappear. Zoom out of here when you're ready.

The "Pip" enemies are found close to Faerie Lea village, and this is the bestplace to recruit them, though they are reluctant to join. A quick route back toNeverglade is to enter the teleporter, and you'll be back at the buildinginside the forest. There are some rare enemies here, so you might wish toreturn to fight more of them.

This is situated to the north-west of the Faerie lands, where you will find asmall lake with a round building. The location is where the Winter Palace usedto be, and so there won't be a T'n'T board here until you return here inGeneration 3.

Go inside and walk up to the left, and down the hole in the floor. Talk to thecreator of this board, if you like. There is a [T'N'T TICKET] in one pot, and a[MEDICINAL HERB] in the other. The blue door in this room is locked, because itleads to the prizes.

This board introduces you to two new features: the dungeons and the TreasureTrove. The dungeons are accessed via a dungeon tile, and any of the three mightbe the one you get. You have the option to enter or not. In the Treasure Trove,talk to the girl, and you get two dice throws to decide on the amount of timeyou have in a treasure room. There are three doors, and you can only selectone. The first room has a small maze with a few chests, the second one has amaze where you have to walk on top of a narrow wall to find a few chests, andthe third one has lots of chests sitting on the floor, with no walls. A few ofthese chests are empty, or just contain small amounts of gold, but most haveuseful stuff.

It's hard to see the whole board, because you cannot walk around it, and thefirst section, to the left, is raised up higher than the main part of theboard. (It's the same for the rightmost section as well.) When you start, takesome time to consult the map, if you want to see everything.

NOTE: When you reach the finish nothing happens. You must walk off the boardto the left, and slide down the large hole in the ground to find the twotreasure chest prizes. Exit by going down the screen and up two sets of stairs.

===============================================================================FAERIE PALACE ........................................................... *W52

Page 159: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

===============================================================================

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TASK : Speak to the Queen and discover a way to obtain the Gold Orb.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Items : Gold Bauble, Lightning Staff, Princess Robe.Mini Medals : NoneKnick-Knacks: NoneArea Enemies: 065 Liquid Metal Slime(R) 119 Pink Elephant, 122 Muddy Hand, 123 Golem(R), 126 Revaulting Horse, 129 Nercomancer, 131 Red-Hot Poker, 199 Conkuistador(R), 200 Conkerer(R), 201 Conkuisitor(R), 202 Conjurer(R)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There's really only one place left which is accessible and that you haven't yetentered, and it's found to the north of the tower (the Stairway to Zenithia) inthe centre continent. Take the same route as for the Stairway. Sail north fromthe Knick-Knackatory island, and land. Use the carpet to fly over the purplestuff and river, and then walk through the trees to the tower. Continue walkingnorth, and there is a large arrow on the ground which leads to a square lake.Step on to the raft and move forwards to where there is a lily pad. Stop, andthis is where you should blow the Faerie Horn. (Use it from the bag orinventory.)

The palace magically appears, though slowly. Move forwards, around the lily padand land at the steps. Enter the door, and explore a little. There is a churchto the right of the entrance area, so you can save if you like. You can climbthe stairs at the left of the entrance, and chat to the cat and the person inthe garden. You'll find out that the picture in the upstairs room on the eastside has been changed to show a birth of the legendary hero.

Talk to Queen Caramel, and she will give you a [GOLD BAUBLE]. (They tried tomake another orb, but could only produce this worthless imitation.) Headthrough the left door, and the guard will let you pass. Enter the room at theright and talk to the writer, for a discussion about ink. There are some steps

Page 160: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

down from the adjoining room. Take these and you can have all the treasures! A[LIGHTNING STAFF] and [PRINCESS ROBE]. (Equip this to Madchen if you are usingher.)

Now, walk up the stairs behind the throne room, and there are two rooms with apicture in each one You can look at the right one, but there's just adescription of it. Stand in front of the left one and make sure you have movedthe Gold Bauble from the bag into Hero's inventory. You will be back inWhealbrook (back to the past!).

Chat to the folks if you like, and enter the house to the right of the church.Sancho is here and your dad is upstairs... Talk to Pankraz, and answer yes toall his questions. Leave the house and walk back to the church. Talk to thechild (aww) and you can look at his Gold Orb. Now, switch the orb with thebauble. (This is so neat, it brought a tear to my eye.) Leave the town bywalking through the entrance gate (you cannot zoom anywhere else while in thepast) and you'll be back at the Faerie Palace. Walk back downstairs and out ofthe Palace, and then use Zoom to travel to Zenithia where Dr Agon is waiting.

By the way, if you leave the village before completing everything, you will betransported back to the Faerie Palace. Simply look at the painting again andyou'll be back in Whealbrook.

NOTEIf you failed to get something in Whealbrook in the first part of the game, youcan obtain it now. That includes picking up the Stone in the well, and talkingto the farmer to learn about the Bluestones in the cave. I had thought thismight be one of those things that had to be completed before Part 2, but akindly person emailed me to say that you get a second chance. Since the farmeris alive, he gives you the necessary information now, and when you return tothe present you can find the Bluestone in the rock inside the cave.

Also, if you failed to talk to the visitor (Hero grown up) in Part 1, itdoesn't matter, because you will still make the exchange in past. I tested thisout, and deliberately ignored him second time through, but events proceeded

Page 161: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

just the same.

===============================================================================ZENITHIA RESTORED ....................................................... *W53===============================================================================

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TASK : Restore Zenithia to the skies.

After zooming to Zenithia from the Faerie Palace, you arrive back inside thecastle, in front of the stairs that lead to the throne room. If you want tomake a quick trip back to the Diggery Pokery for any reason, then step into theteleporter that's just out of sight down the screen. This takes you to theentrance cave and you can either go down the hole to the next floor, or exit tothe world map.

Walk up the stairs into the throne room, and then down the ladder behindthe throne. Head right to find the Doctor, and talk to him to trigger a lovelyscene. The water is drained from the castle, and all the rooms are accessible.Climb back up to the throne room, and it seems quite a few people have survivedthis water burial. (Alternatively, walk down the stairs to where the teleporterwas situated and you'll be on a cloud. The door to the right takes you into aroom with a church, or you can walk left and up the stairs to the throne room.)

Explore the place! Starting in the centre area, there's a door to the rightwhich leads to a library, and the one to the left takes you into an empty room.There are no items in either of these rooms. Go down the right steps and enterthe door. Here you'll find two people sitting at a table and the woman will

Page 162: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

give you a [YGGDRASIL SAPLING] knick-knack. There is a [T'N'T TICKET] in theleft hand chest of drawers, and a [MINI MEDAL] in the right. Head into the backroom and talk to the old man who will tell you what to do now. Resurrect theZenith Dragon which is found in Talon Tower, on an island west of Helmunaptra.This is the area at the southwest corner of the world map, and one of the lastplaces left to explore. Take the [GRAPPLING HOOK] from the chest of drawersafter speaking to him.

Talk to the child in the pool room at the left of the area, and they say theywill give you something, but they don't. Walk onto the flowers to the left orright, and click on the upper edge of the pool, and you will find a [YGGDRASILDEW]. You cannot have more than one of these, but the child tells you that ifyou use it, just return and you can have another one. This valuable item willrestore everyone's HP.

Exit by the door opposite the pool room and chat to the chap to be told how tooperate the castle. Yes, you have your very own flying castle! Use A, B or X todescend, and you must find an area large enough and flat enough for the castleto land. To get it to move, you have to stand on the switch at the bottom ofthe long ladder. Take the quick route back here, by walking down the mainstaircase onto the cloud, and entering the first door to the right. Stand onthe switch that's in the middle of the floor below the ladder, and castle willbe shown suspended above the world map. Move off, and it will continue to movefor as long as you choose, until you press A, B or X. You can use the Y buttonto see the world map information displayed on the top screen.

Next stop: Talon Tower.

After you obtain the castle, the fastest route is to head east and this willbring you to the west edge of the map. (The world is round.) Head south andland on the patch of sand at the western corner of the southwest continent. Thecastle will carry on moving even if you don't press any button, so you canhappily drift around the whole map.

Walk forwards and you will be at the base of the castle: the church is throughthe door to your right. Keep walking forwards and you will leave and be on theworld map. There are many easy enemies that appear here, and you can recruitsome you missed out on earlier in the game. Jailcats only appear in thislocation during Generation 3, so this is your chance to recruit one if youhaven't got one already.

------------------------------From the Top to the Front Door------------------------------Enter the tower location, and you'll find that the door is locked. Your first

Page 164: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

task is to find a way in, and unlock the front door. It's simple enough: justclimb the ladder at the left of the door, and then head to the right. Go rightagain up the next set of steps, and then left. Another right and left, andyou're at the top. Use the grappling hook on the thing there (just click on itand answer yes) and you will lower yourselves down by a rope. You won't havethe wagon inside this building, so choose your team wisely! Some of the battlescan be very tough for this first part of the exploration, especially if Hero'slevel is less than 30. The encounter rate is high, and the enemies arepowerful.

Keep a lookout for the Quadrahead which can change your tactics, and the Balhibuses some very powerful spells. It makes sense to have someone's tactics set tofocus on healing. Also, if you have the Staff of Salvation from theDiggery Pokery, this can be used to heal someone, even if no-one can equip it.

When you land, enter the hole and climb the ladder down. Follow the stairs downfrom this point. There is a chest at the next floor with a [MINI MEDAL]. Thisis one of those places where you wish you could jump over the low wall...Anyway, follow the stairs down again. You can climb up the ladder to where theman is lying and talk to him for some cryptic information about going for thedragon's eyes. That's it. Climb back down and continue.

When you reach the floor with another Grappling area, leave it alone, andgo down the stairs to open a chest for [2700 GOLD COINS]. Then continue downthe stairs until you reach the front of the stone dragon's head. Simply walktowards the head and you will drop down to the bottom floor. Climb back up thestairs to find a suit of [DEVIL ARMOUR]. Operate the switch next to the door onthe bottom floor and you can leave the tower through the front door. End ofstorming the tower, part one!

--------------Tower Basement--------------Return to the tower when you have healed up and maybe bought some betterequipment. Enter through the front door, and go down the hole in the top right

Page 165: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

corner of the ground floor. Walk up the passage (cast Safe Passage to cross thepurple floor) and descend the next hole.

This next area is much bigger. You arrive at the stairs in the centre of fourtorches, and there are four passages leading from here. Use this to orientateyourself. First of all collect the treasure.

Walk up and turn right. Follow the passage to where you can go down to the nextfloor, and then walk down the passage to find a treasure chest with a [DARKSHIELD]. Return to the four torches.

From here, go left and open the treasure chest for an [ELFIN ELIXIR]. Head downthe hole next to the chest and get the contents of two more treasure chests.The first one is a MIMIC which will drop a [MINI MEDAL], but it might also killoff everyone... Use Fizzle or the Staff of Antimagic to prevent it from usingspells, or try to put it to sleep. The second one has a [MINI MEDAL]. Climb thestairs near the second chest and walk to the right. You will be back at thesouth of the four torches. The hole here leads nowhere of interest, so walkfurther down, and there is a second hole leading down to Floor 3.

There is a second set of stairs in the top right corner in this room, so climbthem to the higher floor. You will be at the bottom of a long corridor leadingup the screen. Walk up, and talk to the monster standing in front of thetreasure chest. Boss battle!

o-------------------o| B O S S - SLON |o-------------------oRewards: 3500 experience. 650 gold

His physical attacks are powerful, but with his defence lowered with Kasap, andeveryone boosted with Oomph you can finish him off fast. He doesn't use anyspells, and will just hit one person each round. Keep everyone healed up andboost defence with Kabuff. After the battle, open the chest for the [DRAGON'SLEFT EYE]. If things go wrong, or you find that you're running low on HP foreveryone, then don't forget that you have the Yggdrasil Dew Drop, and you can

Page 166: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

always try Hocus Pocus or Kerplunk. Hero at level 30 and the twins at level 24or 25 will be sufficiently high levels to win this fight with ease.

Either cast Evac and leave, to heal and save your game, or return to the fourtorches. The second boss is reached by heading left from the four torches andgoing down the hole next to the treasure chest. Then, walk back up the stepsand you can now walk up, following the passage until you reach another hole inthe floor.

o--------------------------o| B O S S - BISHOP LADJA |o--------------------------oRewards: 12000 experience, 900 Gold Coins

Start the battle with casting Kasap on him, and use it again until he castsBounce on himself. Kasap might not affect him, first time, but keep trying withthat. He uses the Kafrizzle spell on one person which can inflict over 100 HPin damage, so you could use Bounce as well, but be careful, as this spell willbounce off any healing spell. He also casts Blistering Flame on everyone,although with good equipment this won't do that much damage. Use Oomph to boosteveryone's attack power and don't use spells on him. Watch out for the battlemessage that the effects of Bounce have worn off. I found that time passed bytoo fast, since I had the battle message speed on 1 (the fastest). Might be agood idea to lower it for this fight.

After the battle, use the Talk option to get some reactions, especially ifyou've used the twins. Open the chest to obtain the [DRAGON'S RIGHT EYE]. Leavethe tower with Evac, and re-enter. Climb up the stairs to the Grappling Hookpoint above the Dragon Statue. (That's the seventh level, believe it or not!)Climb down the rope and turn the camera so you can see the eye socket. Placethe right eye in the socket that is at the left of the screen, where you land(try not to fall off...) Then, edge around to place the second eye. Drop offdown to the bottom floor and then climb up to the next floor where you willfind the dragon's mouth is open. Enter...and go down the first set of stairs.

Page 167: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

(There are no enemies in here.)

-----------------Inside The Dragon-----------------Climb down either ladder and search the gound in the centre of the tiles tofind the [DRAGON'S STAFF]. You can equip this to Hero, though I have a fondnessfor Pankraz's sword I guess it's time to let it go. Climb back up, and use thegrappling hook to descend to the ledge, and enter the doorway. Take the [DRAGONORB].

Leave the tower and return to Zenithia. Head straight up the steps and intothe throne room for a scene with the poor doctor, who is accused of being atraitor. Tsk tsk. Talk to the doctor and give him the Dragon Orb. Yay!You receive the Zenithian Tintinnabulum. (Dr. Agon...No, I didn't getit until now either.)

===============================================================================THE ULTIMATE KEY (BJORN) .................................................*W55===============================================================================

*Tutti-fruitti*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TASK : Defeat Bjorn to gain the Ultimate Key.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Items : Ultimate KeyMini Medals : NoneKnick-Knacks: None-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When should you Fight Bjorn?The short answer is: when you need the Ultimate Key, and the first time youreally need this is at Crocodilopolis, to obtain the Zenithian Armour.

Of course, you can attempt this battle at the start of the third part of thegame, but I wouldn't advise it. Assuming that you are going to use the twins,then wait until Parry has Insulate (at level 23) and Madchen has Kasap (at 22)before tackling Bjorn. However, you could use a monster team, and you might

Page 168: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

have spent a long time recruiting and leveling up a great team. I'm not sayingit's impossible then, just that there is really no point in giving yourself aharder time than necessary. By all means have a go, but I failed to defeat himon an early attempt, and this strategy is based on the assumption that you havewaited until later.

The best time to fight this battle is after Zenithia Restored, when you canobtain the heal all HP item (Yggdrasil Dew). You could also try earlier thanthat, after finding the Magic Key and unlocked the door to the Meteorite Bracerin Gotha Castle. The additional speed that this accessory grants is extremelyuseful, since Bjorn is fast. Of course, the later you leave it, the betterequipment you will have, and higher levels.

Why must you defeat Bjorn?This fight has to be won. The ULTIMATE KEY allows you to open some doors tovaluable treasure chests (containing Ultimate equipment), and you need this keyto open the door that leads to Nadiria, the final location in the game, as wellas the optional Mantleplace dungeon.

What Happens if you Lose?I failed to beat him on my first attempt in my first game. I tackled him nearthe start of Generation 3, and was completely unprepared for his onslaught, andhis crafty tactics. I had assumed I could defeat pretty much anything, and gota big shock! Fortunately, the second time around, you don't have to watch theintro, and will start with him already at the tower. Rodrigo will be there aswell, and the two of them will wait for you to return, for as long as you like.As a precaution, save your game first, or deposit all your gold in the bank.This is not an easy battle to win and there's a good chance that you won't winon the first attempt.

Where do you find Bjorn?Visit Mostroferrato, and there is a conversation going on with Rodrigo and a

Page 169: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

guard. Enter his house and speak to Romano (Rod's wife) who will ask for yourhelp. Head over to the villa and you will find Crispin and Nera (if you didn'tmarry her!). They also want you to talk to Rodrigo. You can find him upstairsin the left bedroom. He wants you to go to an island west of Stockenbarrel,just north of the town. There is a shrine there with a jar, and he wants toknow what colour the jar is. (If it's red then get out quick.) When you attemptto leave the house, someone else will also ask you to help.

This is the same place that you went to if you married Debora or Nera, but ifyou wed Bianca it will be your first visit to the 'Pothold'. The Shrine is onthe small bit of land just to the west of the gate on the river. Sail northfrom Mostroferrato and stop at the river gate, and then go west a little way,until you are stopped by the rocks. You can land here, next to the trees. Ifyou've left it until after getting the Flying Carpet, then you can quickly flyall the way there.

Enter the shrine and walk up the steps to the platform where some stairs willappear leading down. Examine the large red glowing jar at the bottom and thenreturn to Mostroferrato. The guard tells you where to find Rod, in that tower(La Guardia) next to the town, and you must enter it directly from the worldmap. Zoom back to Mostroferrato and enter the tower, instead of the town. Climbup to the roof to find Rod. After a spectacular scene, you'll be in a bossbattle. And this really is a boss and a half!

What's so hard about Bjorn?Damn, he's HUGE! Aside from that:* You don't have the wagon at the top of the tower, so only have four in your team!* He continously boosts his defence and lowers yours (using Buff and Kasap).* His fire (Blistering Flames) attack is very powerful, and targets everyone.* His physical attacks are even more powerful!* He is very fast and often has two turns each round.* He has high HP (4700), and limitless MP.* He uses lightning magic which the Insulate spell, and fire/ice protective

Page 170: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

armour cannot defend against.

o----------------------------------o| B O S S - BJORN THE BEHEMOOSE |o----------------------------------oRewards: Experience: 9500, ULTIMATE KEY

He uses both Buff and Kasap so you need to do the same if you are to stand anychance of defeating him. He also uses a lightning attack on everyone that canhurt for a lot: maybe 60 HP damage each, even with decent equipment, andBlistering Flames will also hurt everyone. He often gets in two attacks perround, so unless you have used a lot of Seeds of Agility on someone, or havethe Meteorite Bracelet equipped to your healer, you will find it tough to keepeveryone alive.

You might be better off leaving Sancho behind and having the best healer youcan lay your hands on, preferably with Multiheal. But Sancho has high HP and apowerful attack, as well as Kabuff, so he's quite useful. Have Sancho or Parryuse Kabuff on everyone and Madchen cast Kasap on Bjorn. Also, use Insulate(with Parry) which will protect everyone from ice and fire spells. Every timehe uses Buff, cast Kasap on him. Make sure you have a Yggdrasil Dew that healseveryone's HP so you can use it if things get tricky. And that is likely tohappen when he does his electricity attack twice in a row. I'd also have ahandy Yggdrasil Leaf or two. You will probably need two or three Elfin Elixirsas well, especially for Parry. If you have sufficent Mini Medals, then theSacred Armour is nice for Hero. It will heal his HP enough each round, so youdon't need to waste time healing him.

Keep up this pattern of casting Kabuff and Kasap, and use Hero and Parry toheal when needed. Supplement this with Oomph on Parry and Hero (from Madchen),which doubles their attack power, when you get the chance. I didn't botherusing attack spells at all and relied on Parry and Hero's power. GO GO GO HERO!(Hero was at level 30, and the others at 25.)

NOTE

Page 171: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

I totally forgot (again) about the Zenithian Sword. Use this as an item, and itwill remove Bjorn's boosted status.

After the battle, you receive the Ultimate Key, and you will be back in Rod'smansion for a little chat. Leave town and use the ULTIMATE KEY to open lots oflocked doors!

CASH GIFT!One more thing. After beating Bjorn return to Mostroferrato and enter Rodrigo'smansion. You'll find Mrs. Rod in the left room on the ground floor and she willtalk to you about being a good parent, no matter who you married, but if youmarried one of her daughters she will give you 5,000 gold. (Thank you toOrbital67 for this information.)

4. Ancient Ruins (East of Coburg)No point to this, as there is nothing to find and nothing to fight. If youreally must open every locked door, then make your way around the pathways andback through the room where Pankraz was fighting, to reach the waterway. Theraft will have returned to that spot no matter where you left it. Then, ride upto the cells at the upper side of the area. You can open them all.

This cave is at the north of the middle northern continet. It is to the east ofUptaten, but blocked by mountains. In the third genereation you can get thereby zooming to Coburg and then sailing up the river. The ship will be waitingfor you at the southwest of the castle. You also need the Ultimate Key to openthe door to the dungeon. You can recruit monsters, but you can only take aparty of four, so choose carefully before going in!.

This is the only place to recruit the Archdemon monster. You can keep cominghere if you want to find lots of recruitable monsters, and the stones willreset when you leave.

The idea is that you cover the holes on each floor. There are stones that youcan push around, and place on these monster spawning holes. After covering allthe holes on a floor the monsters will stop appearing. Floor 1 has the holealready covered, floor 2 has one hole, near the stairs, floor 3 has one at thelower left, and the fourth floor has four holes, all close to each other.

An [ELFIN CHARM] accessory is found in a treasure chest at the lower right sideof Floor 3, and a [MINI MEDAL] at the lower left. There is a [HELA HAMMER]inside a treasure chest at the end of a passage to the lower right on Floor 4.

After covering all the holes on every floor, (and make sure the one on thefirst floor is left in place as well) then the [PALLIUM REGALE] will appear onthe platform on B4. This is great armour for Hero.

If you want to find out where to go next, or how you are supposed to know, thentalk to the Zenithian near the entrance stairs. He will tell you about an evilshrine on the summit of Mt Azimuth. Go to anywhere flat on the world map anduse the Zenithian Tintinnabulum, and you will now have your very own dragon whowill come to your call, and fly high and fast around the map. (If you choosesomewhere that's too tight for him to fly in, he'll tell you.)

Target the area at the north of the central landmass. This is the triangularwhite area on the world map, and it's covered with mountains that prevent adirect landing. If you head for the peak of this area you will automaticallyland at a building. If you turn around and walk back the dragon with pick youup again. You can only use four party members in this location, although youwill be permitted to bring the rest of the wagon group to the final battle.

When you enter, change the camera angle, and you will spot doors at the side ofthe pavement. Inside the left door is a room with three pots. The left one has[SERFWEAR], the middle one a [T'N'T TICKET], and the right one, nothing. Theroom to the right has a guard in front of the Legendary Hero's armour. You needthe Ultimate Key to open the door to the armour, and the guard gives you theoption of not fighting, but there's no need to worry as it's just a(disappointing) Snake Ch-arm-er, and he'll go down in a couple of hits. Hemight send you all to sleep, though. Equip the [ZENITHIAN ARMOUR] to Parry, andhe should now have the full set.

Walk up the pavement and into the main building. You will not be permitted towander around, so do as the guards instruct, and walk forwards to join the

Page 175: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

massed ranks of cloaked figures. They all say the same thing: long live priestMada. Chilling. Talk to a few of them and you can stand still and look at thetop screen and there is the statue of Wife! Check out the Talk option for moreinformation. Talk to the guards again, until they say that they are suspicious.You'll have to fight two Mandrake Marauders. Easy. Now you can walk up the sidesteps.

Go straight up to the woman at the front, (or first of all check the stonestatue and then talk to the soulless person in the front to the right. It'ssomeone you might remember.) The woman, Mada, explains a few things, and asks aquestion. You can answer whatever you like and she will curse everyone. (Isaid, yes we'd join her, just for fun.) Then, she reveals her true nature.

o-------------------------o| B O S S - QUEEN FERZ |o-------------------------oRewards: Experience 8500, 800 Gold.

You might think that being cursed means that you couldn't heal, but it doesn't,so treat this battle just like any other. Use Kasap to decrease her defence andOomph to increase your attack. She uses powerful Kacrackle and Kasizzle magicon everyone, and Blistering Flame, which is also an attack on all. Her singleperson physical attack can do around 80-100 HP damage depending on your levelsand equipment. She's not as tough as Bjorn, and she only gets one turn perround, so you shouldn't have too much trouble with this fight, but castInsulate to protect from the magic and Kabuff to defend from her physicalattacks. Equipment such as the Magic Shield or Magic Armour will help defendfrom her magic.

Chat to Porgie, who recognises Hero from the statue. Walk back to the front ofthe hall and speak to the guy at the left who will tell you about a hiddenstaircase on the stage. You can speak to the other three people at the front,but they don't say much of interest. Return to the stage area and examine theplace where Mada was standing. Follow the stairs down and...you'll know where

Page 176: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

you are.

If you want to cure the cursed status, and save your game after this battle,then head back out to a church somewhere. Just leave the main building and zoomout. There is another boss to find, so it's advisable. This also gives you thechance to change your line-up if you wish. To return, simply call the dragonagain.

----------------TEMPLE LABYRINTH----------------Starting from the stage area where you fought the queen, examine the grey stonewhere she stood, and you'll find the stairs leading down to the next floor.Be careful of the enemies here. The Metal Dragon has high resistance tophysical attacks and will call Golems as backup, and the Soulspawn has a nastyhabit of putting you sleep, changing your tactics, and nullifying your magic.Kill them first!

Walk down either set of stairs (seems familiar?) and down through the openinginto the large cavern. There is nothing to find in here, except enemies. Walkup between the urns and you will arrive at double doors. Go through, and youare in a larger area with guards patrolling. They won't bother you, if youdon't bother them.

Walk forwards and up the stairs, and then down the path to the right. There isa hole in the floor near the first guard. If you fight him, he's just anotherSnake Ch-arm-er, (and it doesn't matter what you answer to his question). Enterthe hole and then the door in this small room. Climb the stairs ahead of youand stay on the upper level. Walk right, and then down, and down a shortladder. Head up the room, through the next two open doorways, and up the stairsfacing you. Enter the door at the left.

You'll see a treasure chest on a blue platform. Walk up the path next to thewall, and then down the first set of wide stairs. Head down the room, andaround to the right to reach the chest, which contains a [COBRA CLAW].

From here, walk back up the room, and go left. Then walk down, underneath the

Page 177: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

bridging walkway, and up the ladder. Enter the door. Walk to the right, anddown a ladder, and then through a door in the wall. Here you will find a sadreminder of unhappy times, and two treasure chest containing a [RUINOUS SHIELD]and [SERFWEAR].

Go back through the door and follow the floor, going under the upper walkway,(don't climb either ladder) to the left, and then up. Climb the ladder here,and enter the door to the right, which takes you back into the main room again.Fight a single guard if you want to (Mandrake Marauder), and then descend theladder and enter the hole. Check up on your tactics and heal everyone beforeyou meet the next boss. He kindly summons the party members from the wagon soyou can change your line-up for this battle. In fact, you'll have access to alleight before you talk to him, so you can sort out your items and equipment.

o-------------------------o| B O S S - KING KOROL |o-------------------------oRewards: Experience 21000, 1000 Gold

He isn't affected by Kasap, although you can still cast Kabuff on everyone. Hismain attack uses powerful ice magic on everyone. Use Insulate with Parry toprotect everyone from this. However he will cast a disruptive wave spell whichremoves all your protection, and buffs. Nonetheless, this takes up a turn, soit's still worth while. He will use Bounce on himself. Kaboom will also hurteveryone for around 70-90 HP, although if you have bounce as well, that willreflect back damage to him. He also uses a "desperate attack" that's a powerfulphysical hit on one. He will sometimes defend rather than attacking which helpsa bit.

His C-Cold breath magic attack is very powerful if you don't have theprotection of Insulate, and will hurt everyone for well over 100 HP each. Notfun. Ideally you need someone who can use Multiheal. Parry will have Kazing atlevel 28 and this can help if someone dies and you don't want to use aYggdrasil Leaf. Also, equip Parry (or your preferred healer) with the Meteorite

Page 178: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Bracer to ensure that he goes first on any round and can use Insulate beforeKorol devastates you with one of his magic attacks.

This can be a tough battle and you need to have elfin elixirs and Yggdrasilleafs just in case. I'd suggest levels of around 28 - 30 to give you the bestspells for everyone, and I used Hero, the twins and Slime Knight/Sancho/Saber.Keep using Oomph to boost attack on Parry and Hero, and keep healed! Don't usespells on him since you never know when he will cast bounce and you will end updamaging your allies, but keep using Kabuff and other spells on your team, andKorol will waste turns removing your buffs.

---------------Return to Gotha---------------After the battle, you find out that the underworld of Nadira is where Hero'smother can be found, and Korol kindly says he will open the pathway. But,nothing happens and an old adversary turns up. No worries, not another battlejust yet. You get the Circle of Life item, and everyone is fully healed up. Nowyou have all three rings! Equip this to one of the family and it will heal HPat every step.

First of all you've got to get out of the temple and you cannot use Evac, butthe good news is that all monsters have disappeared. Retrace your path all theway back to the exit. When you emerge from the underground area the six urnswill light up with fire. Answer as you wish, and you'll receive a warning notto go to Nadira. You'll ignore this, of course. Return to the temple and thereis a scene with the stone statue. Your dear wife is back to life! Awww :)

After these events, you will back home in the bedroom of Gotha. Leave yourfamily alone for a while, (after chatting to them all for some cute comments)and return downstairs to the throne room to speak to Prince Albert. (As usual,it doesn't matter what you say.)

PARTY PLANNING TIME!If you leave the castle to deal with any unfinished business, you'll notice

Page 179: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

that the twins won't be with you. If you want to add your wife, then you musttalk to her in the bedroom, and she will tell you she's coming with you.However, both the twins and Wife won't be in the party at all, unless you talkto Patty the Party Planner girl in the bar on the second floor of Gotha Castle.You'll have to re-equip your wife, and I'm sorry to say that she hasn't changedat all during the 10 years as a rock, and will be at exactly the same level.When you've sorted out your party, check that you have the three rings (ofcourse you do!) and zoom to Lofty Peak.

===============================================================================FROM ESTUARY SANCTUARY TO NADIRIA (UNDERWORLD) .......................... *W58===============================================================================

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TASK : Open the gateway to the underworld (Nadiria) in Estuary Sanctuary-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Items : Sage's StoneMini Medals : NoneKnick-Knacks: NoneEnemies : 123 Golem(R), 150 Snowbird(R), 153 Balbib, 154 Metal Dragon, 165 Killing Machine(R), 163 Great Dragon(R), 166 Pazuzu.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From Lofty Peak, board the ship, and sail up into the Estuary Cave. Keepheading north until you arrive at a landing. You will need the Ultimate Key toopen the blue doors. Go through, and there are three goddesses with armsoutstretched. Stand before them in turn, and use each *Circle* ring from youritems. Fire goes on the left statue and water on the right, with Life on themiddle one. (You can use them from the item bag.) Step into the swirling blueportal and you will end up at the top of a small building. Walk forwards, and,after a message from mom, you will receive the [SAGE'S STONE]. Make sure tokeep it in your active inventory and you can use it to heal everyone in battle,as often as you like. It saves a lot on MP usage!

Page 180: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

The Killing Machine and most of the enemies in the first location, are immuneto Kacrackle, or at least, it doesn't damage them at all. Be careful to takeout Snowbirds first, as they will use Thwack which can kill nearly everyone atonce if you're unlucky. There are useful monsters to recruit, although theGreat Dragon and Killing Machine are hard to obtain.

You cannot use the Flying Carpet in Nadiria, but you will be able to zoom toPrecaria and Mt. Zugzwang once you have found them. Leave the arrival point andyou can now see the map of this new area. Walk to the bridge and cross to theeast and you'll see that there is a town, half surrounded with rocks. Walkaround, and enter it from the south.

IMPORTANT!The three *Circle* rings used to open the portal to Nadiria, can be retrieved!After you have entered the town of Precaria, walk back to the portal, and enterit. You'll be back at the three statues, and can remove the rings, (whichcloses the portal). Walk down the area and sail the ship back down the river,then, you can zoom back to Precaria. All credit to one.only who alerted me tothis!

This might be the underworld, but there's still a church where you can save.Talk to the people and you will find out why it's here. The first house on theleft as you enter, is an inn and staying here costs 400 Gold. Not cheap! Thereis a message in a book in the right of the three bookcases, and there is aZenithian person upstairs who has dire mutterings. There is a [MINI MEDAL]inside the barrel next to the hole in the ground close to the turning wheel.

The shops sell good, but very expensive, stuff, and although I could have donewith the resurrection staff, I opted for better defensive equipment instead,especially for wife, who was getting killed off far too quickly. Up to you how

Page 182: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

you spend your gold, but I'd suggest investing in Elfin Charms for everyone: atleast, for your active team. You should have one already, so buy three of them.

Enter the hole in the ground by the wheel and this is the pub. The back roomhas a [T'N'T TICKET] in the left barrel. Head up the stairs and you will beinside a large room with machinery. There are three pots in the left corner,and the first has another [T'N'T TICKET], and the third a [SEED OF RESILIENCE].There are two barrels in top right corner and the first has a useful [ELFINELIXIR]. There is a ladder leading up to the top walkway, and a monster to theright. Talk to him and answer YES and he will give you the [ANNALUM RETENTIUM]Knick-Knack. You can talk to him again some more for some information.

Walk straight on through the door to an outside ledge and there is a treasurechest with an enemy in front of it. This is another Merry Man. Easy enough, andyou get a [STOLOS' STAFF] from the chest, which can cure paralysis andpetrification. Madchen can equip it, though anyone can use it as an item.That's everything, so, when you are ready, move on out! You will find a goodlynumber of Great Dragons around Precaria, if you're hoping to recruit one.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------i. FROM PRECARIA TO MOUNT ZUGZWANG-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TASK : Find your way to the Mountain and step inside. Now you can Zoom.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Items : NoneEnemies : 043 Metal Slime(R), 065 Liquid Metal Slime(R), 152 Tyrannoceratops, 162 Soulspawn, 165 Killing Machine(R), 167 Hybird, 169 Wyrtoise, 170 Gigantes(R),-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leave the village and walk west, to find a gap in the rocks. Then, head eastand north, following the edge of the map. Depending on your levels andequipment, you might find that the Snow Birds keep wiping out half the party. Ikept a couple of monsters back in the wagon who had Zing, although you couldkeep Parry out of the active party to save his Kazing spell for when you really

Page 183: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

need it. The Gigantes has an attack where they 'lose it' and pound on someonefor a hell of a lot of damage, and this might kill a weaker party member. Youcan zoom back to Precaria, but you cannot use the Flying Carpet in Nadiria.

The central area seems to be free of Snow Birds thank goodness, but theSoulspawn can be just as troublesome as it doubles the attack of all enemies,so keep using Kabuff on your team if you run into this monster, and try andtake them out first. The Wyrtoise is my least favourite monster. It uses apowerful lightning attack on everyone, and will solidify so you can't hurt it.A whole group of these pesky things can wipe you out fast.

Just outside the entrance to the Mountain is a good place to find Liquid MetalSlimes. Good luck if you want to try and recruit one of these! (This isn't thebest place for the LMS, though. Head for the area just outside the AncientRuins, east of Coburg, for that.)

The entrance to the mountain is obvious, at the north of the map, and by thetime you have fought your way there it might be worth returning to the town tospend all the money you've accumulated. But, first of all, step inside themountain entrance, and now you can zoom back there and don't have to walkagain. You can also freely zoom back to the world map, and return directly fromthere.

Walk to the south central point of the middle area (just south of the purplewater that's in front of the entrance to Mt. Zugzwang), and you will find abuilding, and a chatty skeleton. Head inside and the old man at the entrancewill inform you that there is a T'n'T board upstairs. YAY! There is a purplebook on the counter that you can read (which gives the location of a secretdungeon, only accessible after beating the game), but the second door leadingto the treasure chests won't open, as these contain the prizes.

You can open the metal gates to the right, and go through to chat and searchfor stuff. One of the pots at the right contains a [T'N'T TICKET]. There isnothing to find in the left set of rooms (If you want to check anyway, thenchange the camera and you will notice a gap in the wall in the bookshelf room,or go directly from the middle room if you've unlocked the door.)

There is a moving path to the left stairs, which is hard to avoid using. Youcan't reach the other rooms, so you might as well try out the T'N'T board. Ifyou want to investigate a little more first, the board has an upstairsextension and there is a monster here who will tell you about another, morefearsome monster than the Grandmaster. Before attempting this board, listen toParry - he tells you it's tricky and he's right. However, this board is wellworth completing as soon as you can, since it rewards you with a free pass, andthat means there is no more need to look for tickets. The Sands of Time is ahelpful item that allows you to 'turn back time' to the start of a battle. Yes,Cher, it's possible in DQV. ;)

I'd suggest that you get the items and kill the early bosses, and then retreat,heal up and return. This way your path will be shorter and you won't use up toomuch MP on the route, OR, make sure to take lots of Elfin Elixirs with you, andback-up monsters with healing skills and high MP. Don't forget to make good useof the Sage's Stone in battle, and this will save on MP for healing.

----------Floor 1-5----------Once inside the building use Evac if you wish to leave.

Floor 1 is simple. Just walk up and take the stairs. Parry should be with youand cast Safe Passage so the purple stuff doesn't hurt.

Floor 2 has two pots to the left and they are both Frighturns. This is a raresighting, and they won't return after you've killed them both, you'll just findtwo empty pots. Otherwise, there is nothing else to find. Walk up the room (tothe right of the wall next to pots) to find the stairs up to the next floor.

On Floor 3 walk down the room and follow the path to the left. There are two

Page 190: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

sets of stairs up, one at the bottom and one at the top of the left side. Takethe bottom one first and this leads to a single treasure chest containing a[DARK ROBE].

Return to Floor 3 and walk all the way up the room, to take the other stairsleading to Section A Floor 4. If you walk left, you will be in a new area(Section B) and there is a pot on the ground, with nothing in it, but I foundtwo new enemies here. Otherwise, walk down the hall and up the next set ofstairs to Floor 5. Exit down the screen, and you will be on a ledge facing awooden bridge.

-----------The Bridges-----------Warning! Once you start this section you cannot use the Evac spell because youare outside, but you can use Zoom if you want to leave.

Cross the bridge, and walk up until you reach a junction. Head to the right,and follow the path up, to find a chest containing an [OGRE SHIELD]. Return tothe junction, and head left over the bridge, and there is a hole in the floor.This leads to a treasure chest with a [MINI MEDAL], and a cave opening, if youwalk down the path.

Enter the cave, and you are back in Section B (floor 5). Walk left, and up, andfollow the floor to find the stairs. You'll be up on top of the cavern, andoutside again. When you walk left, there will be a challenge from a couple ofSnake Handlers. As soon as you defeat them there will be a scene. Mada is here,and then Ladja appears.

o--------------------------o| B O S S - BISHOP LADJA |o--------------------------oRewards: 12000 experience, 980 Gold.

He uses a Burning Breath fire attack on everyone which can also paralyse. Thisis when the Elfin Charms you bought in Precaria (or the one you found) willcome in handy, as they protect from bad status effects. He also uses an ice

Page 191: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

attack as well, so cast Insulate to protect from both spells. He will attackone person for around 80-100 HP damage, and use Kafrizzle on one. Use Kabuff asusual and Oomph to boost attack. Madchen's Puff skill where she transforms intoa dragon for a few rounds, is useful, as she will hurt Ladja as well as beingprotected from his fire attacks.

Just one more thing, make sure everyone has their best weapon for this fight ifyou've been using all enemy attack stuff like a Boomerang, or a whip. Rememberthat you can change weapons during a battle, and it doesn't take up a turn. (MyHero was level 35 for this battle and I didn't have to use items at all, soit's not really a tough fight.)

Another sad scene...teary stuff. After these events everyone will be at fullhealth. Don't forget to use the talk option if you want another reason to weep.Walk down the path and past the cave, and go left to find a chest with a[DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD].

Once you are in this outside area you can Zoom out to anywhere.

----------------------------Tile Rooms (Moving Pathways)----------------------------This cave is to the right of the stairs just down from where you foughtLadja. Check out the map link in the summary of this section, for an overviewof the whole area, and the route to take. It's simpler than this explanation!

Walk up the room and go down the first hole in the floor. On the lower floor,walk down one step, and then take the single arrow tile that points to theright. Walk all the way along to the far side of the room avoiding all theyellow tiles. Then, go up to take the treasure [T'N'T TICKET] from the chest.Step left onto the yellow tiles and you will end up next to another treasurechest. Open this for a [MINI MEDAL]. Then, walk directly up from this chest andcross one yellow tile. Go up these stairs, back to the previous floor. Step onthe yellow tile to the right, and you will move over another one to the path.Take one step onto the moving tiles at the far right of the floor. At the end,

Page 192: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

walk down to the corner near the water. Step onto the yellow tile going leftand follow it to where it stops. Here, walk right, into the large area with thetwo important items:the [ASPERSORIUM] (left) and [SUN CROWN] (right).

To return to the entrance, step on the yellow tiles at the upper edge of thetreasure area, and this takes you left. From here, walk up one step and thenback onto the yellow tiles which will take you to the stairs down. On the lowerfloor, walk right, up and around to the left, keeping away from the yellowtiles. Then, walk down between the two lines of yellow tiles and take the onethat points to the right. You can now take the stairs back up to the firstfloor. You'll be back where you started the whole thing, and can walk left, andback to the entrance, leaving the tile rooms by the same way you came in.

----------------------Section E Fourth Level----------------------Continue on, heading to the right and inside the next cave. You must have Heroin the lead and use the Aspersorium item standing next to the fiery square.Then, descend into the hole that appears. There are gratings set in the floorand if you step on one, you'll drop down to the lower area. Just use the stepsto return to the main floor, if this occurs. You can often find Metal KingSlimes in this new area.

There is a treasure chest to the left (walk up and then left) containing [3800GOLD COINS]. Walk straight down the room to the lower wall and you'll seeanother treasure chest to the right. This contains a MIMIC, which will drop a[MINI MEDAL] when you defeat it. A third treasure chest is found in the lowerright corner, and contains a [METAL KING HELM]. Walk as far as you can, to thelower left side of this room, and you will fall down to the floor below. Thisis just a small room and all you need to do is to climb the stairs. You will beback in the same area, but on the far side of the grating. Now, walk up theroom to the upper wall where you'll find the next stairs leading down. (If youfall down another grating you'll be back in the first area and have to do this

Page 193: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

bit again.)

-------------------------------------------Section D Third Level and Moving Floor Room-------------------------------------------In this room, go to the right, past the first two green pillars, and through anopening into a small room. Here you will find the [GHOULROARER] knick-knack,just sitting on the floor. There are no enemies in this area.

After that, follow the path up and to the right until you reach the next hole.Don't go down here, since it just leads to a large room where you'll fall ifyou mess up the next puzzle. (By the way, note the scary statues on the northwall that follow your movements. Nice touch, but they don't do anything else.)

Enter the open door and you are faced with a moving floor puzzle. The idea isto stand on the centre blue tile of a section of floor and it will move intothe available space. The solution to this puzzle is to stand on the lower lefttile, then, walk all the way around to the right and up to reach the nextsection. Stand on the middle left blue tile, which moves this floor down. Thenthe upper left, middle top, and centre. Head straight through the room aftermoving the floor into place, and follow the path. (Leave the room if you needto re-set the puzzle.) There are no enemies in the puzzle room or in the roombelow, where you will fall if you miss a step.

---------Long Path---------Be careful fighting the Luneyetics here, as they come in large groups and canuse the random effect spell, Hocus Pocus, and you might end up losing all yourcarefully hoarded MP. This is also a good place for fighting Great Dragons.

Carry on up a long path (you can't fall off!) and into another room. Attempt toopen the treasure chest, yeah, very suspicious being left right there in theopen, and you will be attacked by two Barbatos. They use both Blistering Flameand Kaboom (a very powerful magic attack on everyone), but they don't

Page 194: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

have much HP, so you can dispatch them pretty easily. You then get [ORICHALCUMFANGS], which is good if you happen to have Saber or another Orichalcum Fangusing monster with you, such as any Slime.

----------------------------Final, and Really Final Boss----------------------------There are still other enemies in this room, and when you proceed through thedoorway, guess who you'll find. Actually you have time to check out yourequipment, items and tactics, before stepping onto a platform. This takes youto meet Grandmaster Nimzo, who uses such a weird font it's hard to read what hesays, and he says a lot...

o--------------------------------o| B O S S - GRANDMASTER NIMZO | HP is approximately 3000.o--------------------------------oRewards: Experience: 3632, 530 Gold Coins. (Varies depending on how manyadditional monsters you have defeated.)

As well as using a powerful cold magic attack on everyone, and Kafrizzle, amagic attack on one, he will summon two Killing Machines. When he does that,try and get rid of them fast, but Kaboom or any magic attack based attack won'thurt them. Use Kasap to lower their defence, and hit them hard. If he summonsWrecktors, then you can use magic against them.

Keep an eye on Parry's MP and use an elfin elixir on him when it's getting low.Also, if you exchange party members, the new ones won't have the benefit of anybuffs or protection you've used. Keep using Insulate and Oopmh when he removesyour boosts with disruptive wave.

By the way, if you don't defeat the summoned monsters they will disappear whenyou vanquish Nimzo.

After you beat him up there's more chatter, (Why is it that bosses can chataway quite happliy after you pummel them into the ground?) Anyway, the reasonis, that there's another, and more powerful form. Nimzo grows bigger and youget to fight him (and his font) again.

Page 195: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

o--------------------------------------o| B O S S - GRANDMASTER NIMZO AGAIN |o--------------------------------------oHP is approximately 7000, but he heals himself and the amount isn't shown, soyou will probably have to inflict around 7500 damage to kill him.

Rewards: None.

He gets two turns every round and his physical attack can hurt for well over100 HP, even with the best equipment. He will use Kasap on you all, so keepcasting Kabuff to compensate for this, or his physical attack can take out oneperson. This version uses Blazing Fire on everyone, as well as Kaboom, so onceagain use Insulate to protect. Kafrizzle makes an appearance again, althoughthis is nothing too much to worry about as it's just an attack on one.

If he uses Kaboom and Blazing Fire in one round, which he will, then, unlesseveryone is at full health AND with the protection of Insulate you could be introuble. This means that keeping everyone healed and protected is paramount.Don't take too many chances if you want to survive! After one of those I usedthe essential Yggdrasil Dew and hoped it didn't happen a second time... :(

At some point he will use the same disruptive wave of enery which removes allyour protective magic and boosts, so cast Insulate again as soon as possible.You could also defend, with anyone who might not survive a double blast withoutprotection. When his HP is getting low, he will meditate and heal himself

You need more than one Elfin Elixir and Yggdrasil Leaf for this fight, and, asusual, retaining suffient MP to use your buff spells is a problem, at least, itwas for me! Oh, don't bother with Kasap which only affects physical attacks,since most of the time he uses magic.

By the way, Madchen can use Puff to good effect in this battle as she isprotected from fire, and will keep blazing the enemy for a random amount oftime. Of course, she'll lose the magic if he casts disruptive wave. You couldalso use Kazapple with Parry providing that all four of the team have some MP,although that means that no-one else gets a turn for that round. It will do

Page 196: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

around 350+ damage at once: probably not worth it.

In the and I used Hero, son and daughter as my main three (giving Sage's Stoneto Hero as he was unlikely to die, having the highest HP). I also needed about4 Elfin Elixirs, and the fourth person I changed around between Saber, Sancho,and Ward (a powerful Golem). The family were at level 40, and Ward (Golem) atlevel 21.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------It's the triumph of family values!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You'll find youself in Zenithia, with the Dragon. After a little chat, walkdown to the castle exit, and the dragon will take you to visit various towns.Chat to old friends, and anyone else you like, and then the dragon will takeyou on to the next location, and finally, to Gotha. Don't forget to use theparty chat option for some cute stuff during these final visits.

Make your way to the throne room for the final scenes, although you can stopoff in the town and chat to everyone, including the monsters in your finalwagon group. After that, watch the credits, and wait until they finish. Then,press A and you can save your game and continue playing when you load thatstarred save.

Load your final starred save and you will start in the church at Gotha Castle,with just the hero. Head to the world map and everyone from the final battle isstill in your team, although with none of their items. You'll find these in thebag. What is a bit odd is that the chat is from the stage before you go toNadiria, and not after, and what this means is that you can fight Nimzo again,at the end of Mt. Zugzwang, if you so desire! If you make a new save, you cansave over the starred one and it will still have the star.

Zoom to Mt Zugswang, and walk south into the purple stuff (use Safe Passage ifyou want to avoid a bit of damage) and you will end up inside a dungeon. By theway, in case you were wondering how you are supposed to know where to findEstaks' Labyrinth, if you read the purple book resting on the desk near theentrance to the Nadiria TNT board building, you'll see!

Prepare well for this dungeon with plenty of Elfin Elixirs and Yggdrasil Leafsfor backup. I suggest making two trips. One to collect all the items from thetreasure chests, gaining some levels and recruiting some additional monsters,with a bit of luck. Then, return to tackle the boss. You can evacuate thisdungeon just like any other.

-----------First Floor-----------Walk left for two chests: the left one has a [MINI MEDAL] and the right one a[REBIRTH STONE]. (Once used, gone for good.) Head up to find a MIMIC inside a

Page 198: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

treasure chest, and defeat this for another [MINI MEDAL]. If you go down thehole at the right, this leads to the new T'n'T board, but the entrance isshut. Return to the main floor and walk left, ignoring the first short path toa dead end. Head down and through the door (you will need the Ultimate Key toopen this, at least I assume so), and then navigate your way along the narrowpath to the bottom right of the screen. There is a chest with a [SHIMMERINGSHIELD]. Ignore the hole in the floor here, as there is nothing to find in theroom below.

Head left to an area with lots of holes in the floor, covered with grates. Walkto the lower left and drop down a hole, and you should see a chest in thecorner. This contains a [WAR DRUM]. (Keep this in your inventory and use it todouble the attack power of all allies.) From here, walk all the way to theright (use Safe Passage again) and there is another chest with the [HELLSABRE]. Return to the upper floor using the stairs.

Finally, make your way past all the grates, heading down, and then left, andup, to reach the next hole down. This leads to a set of repeating rooms.

------------Second Floor------------There are no enemies in this first maze floor. You will be in at a crossroadswith four possible exits. Head right for a treasure chest with the [MASSACRESWORD], it's a cursed weapon.

Then, from the crossroads, go left, up, up (left of two exits), up, right,down, right, down, right and you will find a hole in the floor, leading to theanother maze area.

-----------Third Floor------------NOTE: I had Sancho equipped with the Hela Hammer and he was able to criticaltwo Metal King Slimes in one battle!

This maze also is devoid of enemies. First of all head up, and in the next roomgo up the stairs into a room with enemies. Walk down and you will find two

Page 199: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

treasure chests. The first one is a MIMIC, and will drop a [MINI MEDAL], andthe second contains an [ELFIN ELIXIR]. Return to the main floor, and go left,and then down as far as you can go (keep going through the adjoining rooms) foranother chest. This contains the [METAL KING ARMOUR]. Retrace your steps backone room, and then go right, through two rooms, to find an empty chest and somestairs heading into more purple stuff.

------------Fourth Floor------------Stop at the bottom of the stairs and use Safe Passage before continuing. Walkup, and around, following the single path, to reach the middle of the areawhere there is a treasure chest with the [FLAIL OF DESTRUCTION]. There is ahole in the floor at the lower left corner of the area, and down here you'llfind Estark. You can fight him as many times as you wish, and each time he willtell you how many turns you took to defeat him.

o---------------------o| B O S S - ESTARK |o---------------------oReward: 5,000 experience, 510 Gold Coins. Mini Medal (possible drop),(I defeated him in 48 turns on the first attempt...nothing to be proud of.)

The good thing about this battle, is that you've got both the Sage's Stone forno MP cost free healing, and the War Drum for doubling everyone's attack. Youalso will need to use Parry's (or someone else's) Insulate skills as often aspossible, together with a monster with Omniheal if you've got one, or justMultiheal, if not. Note that you can use Sleep on him to good effect, though itwill only last a few turns, but it does give you some breathing space.

He can use Kaboom, Kafrizzle, Disruptive Wave, C-C-Cold Breath, and BlazingFire. If he uses the Disruptive Wave spell first out of his two attacks, thenthe next attack spell is going to do a lot of damage. His single personphysical attack will hurt for over 200 HP damage, but Kabuff seemed a waste ofa turn I needed for something else, so this was a case of sucking up thedamage. Keep using Insulate on every round. If someone died, I brought in a

Page 200: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

standby to use Kazing on them, saving Parry for Insulate and Multiheal ifthings got tough. After the battle use Evac to exit, and rest and save yourgame as usual.

My Hero was level 43, Parry 41, and Sancho 43. Madchen's Oomph is not neededwith the War Drum at hand, so I went for heavy hitters for this tussle. Golem(25) with Orc King (20) for back up. I gave Parry the Rebirth Stone since hisHP was lower than Hero's. Sancho was also a heavy hitter with his Hela Hammercriticals. Have Parry with the Meteorite Bracer so he gets the first turn. Ifyou have more than one of these, then equip them all!

Your reward is access to the all time great T'n'T Board, guaranteed to driveyou stark raving mad! There's another reward too, IF you can beat Estark in 15rounds or less: it's a Knick-Knack (and bragging rights).

o------------------------------o| B O S S - ESTARK ROUND 2! |o------------------------------oRewards: Catas Trophy Knick-Knack.

The aim is to beat Estark in 15 rounds.

My team:Hero: Lv 65: Dragon Staff, Pallium Regale, Shimmering Shield, Sun Crown.Golem: Lv 43: Metal King Sword, Metal King Armour, Ogre Shield, Great Helm.Gigantes Lv 6: Ionospear, Metal King Armour, Metal King Shield, Great Helm.King Cureslime: Lv 20: Orichalcum Fangs, Glombolero, Metal King Shield, MetalKing Helm.Everyone had Elfin Charm and Meteorite Bracer.

My strategy is nothing fancy. Simply to use the War Drum with the KingCureslime (he has the weakest attack power which is why I used him with the WarDrum) on the first round, and again when Estark uses the Disruptive Wave. Therest of them attacked, and King Cureslime also cast Omniheal when everyone's HPwas getting low. I didn't bother with Insulate (wastes a turn) and soaked upthe damage. Obviously, you need to have sufficiently high HP and good equipmentto withstand his attacks. The only real danger was when Estark cast Kaboom,C-C-Cold Breath, or Blazing Fire, twice in one round. (Which he did! ) I had a

Page 201: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

couple of Yggrdasil Dews (extras obtained from the T'n'T boards) as back-up incase I needed to heal as well as use the War Drum, and used one of them. Ifanyone died, then I just used the Sands of Time to start again. Estark willalso use Bounce, so there's no point using spells in case you mis-judge this.If there was a chance not to heal, then I had King Cureslime attack, and riskeddanger on the next turn. It took me three tries with this set-up, getting 16rounds a couple of times, but in the end, we sailed through. :D

After receiving the Catas Trophy, take this to the Knick-Knackatory, and placeit on the top floor. Something else will happen if you have obtained all theKnick-Knacks. (See the lists section if you want to know.)

ALTERNATIVE STRATEGIESI tried using the Hela Hammer with Sancho, but although he often got criticals,the fact that sometimes he missed completely meant that I couldn't rely onthis. Which is why I went with this line-up and equipment. Another Metal KingSword might have helped, and Starkers was also a contender for the line-up. Ifyou have a better strategy, at lower levels, and with a different line-up orequipment, then please let me know!

ALTERNATIVE STRATEGY A!"I managed to beat Estark (in 15) using Mason/Wallter (Golems - level 50) Hero(level 54) and Parry (level 45-50) as my main 4, shuffling Nera (castingKafrizzle), Curetis (Cureslime at max level) casting Omniheal, and Goodian(level 53). My trick was to dress Hero, Parry and Goodian all in the mirrorarmour which reflected Estark's magic attack back quite a few times, and useWar Drum of course." from "the ogre".

After beating Estark, return to the entrance of the Labyrinth, walk up a fewsteps, and take the first passage to the right. There's a hole in the floorwith stairs that takes you down to the door of the T'n'T board. Simply walkthrough the door and you can now play this final, and fiendish, board.

This board is tough, and I mean really tough. You might be lucky, and reach thefinish on your first attempt, but be prepared for many many tries beforecompleting it. There are five floors, and three dungeons, as well as five roomsin the Treasure Trove, and if you plan to get all the treasures, it's going totake many visits.

Good luck with this board: you're gonna need it! Despite endless tries, Istill haven't managed to finish. One attempt I had tons of turns left, andwas happily planning what I'd do to Starkers after all the trouble he'd putme through, when I landed on a ? tile near the finish, and the bloody thingdecided it was a trapdoor. Grrr. Okay, enough complaining. If it wasn't hard,then it wouldn't be much of a challenge.

(UPDATE: I beat it on 16th April at 8 pm after nearly a month of trying. Yay!)

One way to access the final floor (4), is to fall through a trap door on floor3. Then, you have to travel around that cut-off section, and hope you land onthe warp tile which will take you to the area of this floor that leads to thefinish. Don't enter any of the dungeons if you just want to complete the board,as these use up too many turns. Also, beware of random searches ongrass/forest/hill tiles, as these might reveal a trap that doesn't leadanywhere useful.

ONE FINAL THING...After beating this board you will find Starkers, another monster recruit,inside the treasure chest. Zoom to Mostroferrato. Talk to the turbaned man inthe town (during the day) and he'll tell you that there is something oddhappening inside the shrine to the northwest of the town. This is the placethat had the red pot and Bjorn. It seems that something is jumping aroundinside the pot.

Head for the shrine, (on the island west of Stockenbarrel, and north from

Page 210: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Mostroferrato) and you'll see that the pot is blue and shaking! Check it outand...*Booork! Schnip!* Rebjorn will join your party if you agree. (It's stillBjorn, but he's been bjorn again.)

Mini Medals are easier to obtain than you might expect. As well as setlocations, a number of monsters carry them, and they might drop one.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------01. TOMBOLA-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Play this game in Lodestar Harbour Inn. It's down a hole at the left of theplace. All that happens is that you give the woman a ticket and she rolls thetumbler, which drops a coloured ball. Probably best to save up a number oftickets, save your game, and then play.

session and reload if you lose a lot. Play the 100 token (red) slots, and placethe maximum allowed (900) for the biggest wins. If you place the maximum, thenyour winnings are tripled. This is the quickest and most reliable way to winlots of tokens.

Use the directional buttons to select all 9 options, and then press A to startthe machine.

GREEN MACHINECost - 1 Token, Maximum Wager - 9 Tokens

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------03. SLURPODROME SLIME RACES-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Bet on slimes to win a race in Fortuna and Ventuno Casinos. You can enter yourown slime in a race, providing it has reached level 20. Make sure it's in youractive team of four, before entering the casino or Pontoon. However, this isannoying, because if you have four humans in your party, they will beautomatically placed in the active group when you enter the town. To ensure youcan include a slime you'll need to have less then four humans.

Your own slime is entered as contestant 6 and you have to pay 50 Gold Coins forthe privilege. You can bet on your own slime, (shown in dark blue) though it ispaired with another one, so the odds are played out the same. First time Itried, with a level 22 slime, she came last. :(

There are five slimes in a race, (pink, blue, green, orange and red) and you

Page 272: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

can bet up to 50 tokens on one race. Place tokens on the two slimes that youthink will have the best chance of coming first and second. You can place betson every possible combination, a few of them, or just one. Use the directionalbuttons to select the ones you want, and press A to add more tokens. Then usethe directional button to select start, and press A again.

The coloured numbers list the possible combinations of slimes, and the numbersin white show the odds for each combination of two slimes. The higher themultiplier, the less the chance that these two slimes will take the first twowinning positions, but the more you would win, if they do! (Very unpredictable,so your best chance is to place bets on more than one combination.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------04. MONSTER ARENA-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Only found in Fortuna, it's just to the left of the entrance. Bet on a monsterto win the battle. The fight line-ups available are dependent on Hero's level.There are a total of 50 possible combinations, and you'll have got them all bythe time Hero reaches level 30. If you don't like the look of the line-upyou're shown, then leave, and try again, and you'll be shown a different one.

This is a frustrating game, because you can't enter your own monsters, and haveto rely on your knowledge of monster skills, and luck, to choose the monstermost likely to win a battle. Pick one, and they slug it out, and if yourmonster is the last one standing, you win. Your winnings are based on themultiplier for that monster. As with the slime races, the lower the multiplier,the more chance of that monster winning, but even if you pick one with goododds for a win, there is no guarantee. Not the best way to win tokens, thoughthe fights don't take long.

If your monster wins, you can bet your winnings on the next fight, and keepgoing up to a maximum of 10,000 tokens.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------05. MONSTER POKER

Page 273: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Yeah, it's poker, with monster cards. This fun game is only found in Ventuno.Save before you start! The poker tables are found at the left side of the maincasino (near the slot machines) on the ship. Bet up to 10 tokens on a hand, andyou can win a range of payouts. (These are all displayed on the top screen.)

Place your bet and five cards will be dealt and turned face up. The idea is tomake various groups of cards to achieve the best hand for your five cards.These are either cards with the same number, or cards of the same suit.

Use the directional buttons to see the option: Discard, and select one andpress A to see the alternative: Hold. When you've decided which cards you wantto Hold onto, and which to discard, select Deal, and the card/s you discardedwill be replaced with new cards. If you're lucky, you could start with fivegood cards, and in that case, hold onto them all. That's it, and you will scorebased on the second hand.

There are four suits of cards: Slimes, Swords, Shields, Crowns. Within eachsuit cards are numbered from 2-10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace. The Ace can countas a one if you wish to use it next to a two. There are Joker cards as well,which can be used to represent any card you like.

When you win a hand, you will be given the option of double or nothing. This isjust a simple matter of luck and judgement. A card is shown, and you mustdecide if the next card will be higher or lower. (Ace counts as high, in thisgame.) If you win, then you can play "Double or Nothing" again, using yourwinning card. Choose high or low again, and again, so long as you think you'vea good chance to win.

TWO PAIRS: Payout x1Two identical numbered cards are a pair. You need 2 pairs.

THREE OF A KIND: Payout x1Three identical numbered cards are three of a kind.

STRAIGHT: Payout x2

Page 274: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Five cards from any suit, in consecutive order (The Ace cannot be used betweena 2 and King.)

FLUSH: Payout x4Any five cards of the same suit. (The numbers don't matter).

FULL HOUSE: Payout x5Three cards with the same number, and two cards with the same number.

FOUR OF A KIND: Payout x10Four cards showing the same number.

STRAIGHT FLUSH: Payout x20Five cards with consecutive number from the same suit, but not including theJack/Queen/King. (eg: 3,4,5,6,7)

FIVE OF A KIND: Payout x50Four cards showing the same number, with a Joker added to make five.

ROYAL STRAIGHT FLUSH: Payout x100Five cards with highest consecutive numbers from the same suit: 10, Jack,Queen, King, Ace.

ROYAL SLIME FLUSH: Payout x500Five slime suit cards with highest consecutive numbers: 10, Jack, Queen, King,Ace.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------06. BRUISE THE OOZE-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Strangely fun, but it's just a version of whack-a-mole. You'll find this gamesmachine in Debora's bedroom on the top floor of the Mostroferrato mansion.

Four coloured slimes are shown at the top of the games screen, and randomlycoloured slimes will pop up (at random) in the eight holes. You must use thestylus to tap these in the correct order and gain points. If you get one wrong,then you lose points. Your time is limited (shown with a bomb crossing fromleft to right on the top screen) so you have to be quick, and as you completeeach stage, the animation speeds up. Complete 5 or more stages, and you play abonus level which uses red and gold coins. Sometimes items will appear in theholes, and if you tap one, then you will receive it after the game is over.

Page 275: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Possible ItemsMagic Water, Medicinal Herb, Prayer Ring.

Possible Bonus Round ItemsAntidotal Herb, Elfin Elixir, Magic Water, Medicinal Herb, Paxa Punch, PointyHat, Rags, Rebirth Stone, Rockbomb Shard, Tombola Ticket, T'n'T Ticket,Yggdrasil Leaf.

===============================================================================10. T 'N' T B O A R D S ..............................................*L10===============================================================================

There are five T'n'T Boards in Dragon Quest V, and they all have good prizes,as well as shops and many items that can be found along the way. Use the searchcodes to take you to the full maps and details for each board.

1. Fortuna: inside the casino. [FORTNT]2. Ventuno: inside the ship. [VENTNT]3. Spring board: in Faerie Lea (in generation 3) where the Winter Palace used to be. [SPRTNT]4. Nadiria: in a building to the south of Mt Zugzwang. [NADTNT]5. Stark Raving Board (after beating the game) inside the poison swamp south of Mt Zugzwang. [STKTNT]

You can only use one character on the boards and, since you will also findenemies, it makes sense to use your best fighter. Ensure they have a Boomerangas well as a single enemy weapon, as you will encounter many enemy groups. Youalso need a FullHeal spell. If you are damaged by the zap tile, or by enemies,make sure to heal up as soon as you can. You don't want to be forced to quitbecause you have run out of HP!

You cannot use items or spells while on the board, and the only time when youcan change equipment, or heal, is if you land on a battle tile, although thereare a few inns where you can recover, as well as Healing tiles. If you lose allyour HP or run out of rolls of the dice, then that's the end of your

Page 276: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

attempt. Items found inside cupboards, pots or treasure chests will notreappear.

For the later boards, equip a Meteorite Bracer to boost your speed, and anElfin Charm to protect against bad status spells. You could also carry aDieamend or Rebirth Stone as an additional precaution, if you are reallyserious about not getting kicked off by powerful enemies. However, this is alot less likely to happen than falling through a trapdoor, or being sent backto the start. You can run away from battles, and this has a good chance ofsuccess.

If you are on the later boards, and just want to get to the finish line, thendon't enter the dungeons if you want to avoid using up too many turns. Alsoavoid searching the ground, which could jeopardise your attempt to finish witha hidden trapdoor. (The exception to this is the fifth board.on floor 3.)

Aim to complete the Nadiria board as soon as you can, since this rewards youwith a Free Pass. You will need this for the Stark Raving board!

For all boards, you are given four options at the start of each turn:

*Roll Die - This commits you to move after throwing the number.*Consult Map - Select and then use the directional buttons to scroll the map. Press B to return to the options. This option is very useful when you are near a choice of directions.*Attributes - Shows your character's current equipment and status, and the wagon.*Give Up - Returns you to the main floor, back at the start.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------TILES AND ABBREVIATIONS-------------------------------------------------------------------------------These abbreviations are for the layouts I've included in the main walkthrough.All credit and thanks to Shotgunnova for the basic structure, and the idea forthese abbreviations.

SRT - START The starting place has a man who will take your ticket (or check the free pass).

Page 277: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

FIN - FINISH You have to land on this space in order to win. If you throw a number that is too many, then you will go back any additional spaces.

GRS - GRASS Sometimes there will be a battle on this tile, but most often you will have the option to examine the ground. This will result in: an item, a trapdoor, or a battle.

FOR - FOREST Most often there will be a battle on this tile, but sometimes you will have the option to examine the ground. This will result in: an item, a trapdoor, or a battle.

HIL - HILL Usually there will be a battle on this tile, but sometimes you will have the option to examine the ground. This will result in: an item, a trapdoor, or a battle.

SLM - SLIME You will fight random monsters.

MSL - METAL SLIME You will fight metal monsters on this tile.

SHP - VILLAGE SHOP This tile gives you access to the board shop where you can spend money. Some of the items are not sold anywhere else. Different boards sell different items.

INN - INN The cost varies from board to board, but here you can rest and recover.

STA - STAIRS Stairs will take you up or down to another floor. You don't have to land directly on this tile, and will just continue with any extra moves left over.

TRP - TRAPDOOR Land on this tile and you will drop down to the floor below. This will mean the end of the game, except on the Stark Raving board, where some trapdoors drop you down onto a lower section of the board.

Page 278: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

WRP - WARP This tile with a blue square will warp you to another section of that floor. Usually this will help you to progress, and sometimes it is the only way to get to the next section of the board. You must land directly on the tile.

DUN - DUNGEON This cave opening will lead you inside an additional area of the board. You have to land directly on the tile, and you have the option of entering or not. Although these dungeons yield some additional treasures, they also use up more throws of the dice. You don't have to throw the exact number to exit, and you will be back at the dungeon tile where you entered. Boards with dungeons have three of them, and which one you enter is randomly generated.

T-T - TREASURE TROVE This is a tile that looks like a maze and it takes you to special treasure rooms. (These do not use up any additional throws). Your time inside one room (you choose only one) is determined by two throws of the dice. The first throw is tens of seconds, and the second, seconds. The maximum time could be 66 seconds, and the minimum, 11. There are a maximum of 5 treasure trove rooms: 1. A small maze with a few (5) treasure chests. 2. Narrow walls that you walk along to reach a few (5) treasure chests. 3. An icy floor where you must slide to reach a few (5) treasure chests 4. A room with a long ladder and you fall down to land on narrow ledges with one treasure chest on each of five ledges. 5. The best room has lots of treasure chests on the floor, just waiting to be opened.

GTE - GATE If you pass through a gate you have to pay 500 Gold Coins.

PT# - POT TC# - TREASURE CHEST DR# - DRESSER DRAWERS All these tiles contain an item, but the next time you land here, there is nothing to find. Once only items!

1/2 - 1/2 MP Land here and you will lose half your current MP. (Not permanently!)

Page 279: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

ZAP - Land here and you will lose HP from an electric shock. Make sure to heal up as soon as you can get a chance, at the next battle, or in an inn.

>!< - EXCLAMATION POINT Land here and you will get an attribute change. This is decided with two rolls of the dice. The first roll determines which attribute changes, and the second decides if it gives or removes 1 point.

ROLL 1 - ATTRIBUTE CHANGED ROLL 2 - AFFECT ON ATTRIBUTE 1 Strength 1 -1 2 Agility 2 +1 3 Resilience 3 -1 4 Wisdom 4 +1 5 Luck 5 -1 6 Max HP 6 +1

G+# - ADD GOLD COINS (red tile) You will be given the amount shown on the tile.

G-# - LOSE GOLD COINS (blue tile) You will lose the amount shown on the tile.

M+# - MOVE FORWARDS (red tile) Move forwards by the number shown on the tile.

M-# - MOVE BACKWARDS (blue tile) Move backwards by the number shown on the tile.

R+# - ADD ROLLS OF THE DICE Gives extra turns by the number shown on the tile.

R+# - REMOVE ROLLS OF THE DICE Lose turns by the number shown on the tile.

SLO - SLOW MOTION ROLL Decide the number you wish to move, and stop the dice on that number. It rolls very slowly so you can easily do this. Check out the layout of the board before deciding!

ARR - ARROW If you land on this tile you can check the ground to be shown the correct direction to take.

HEA - HEALING BREEZE Your HP and MP will be restored. Free healing!

BAC - BACK TO THE START This purple tile has a large white arrow on it pointing downwards. Land

Page 280: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

here and you will taken back to the start. DO NOT LAND ON THIS TILE!

>?< - QUESTION MARK A voice speaks, and there are a large range of random effects, some good, some bad. * Gain 10, 20, 30 or 100 Gold Coins * Lose 10, 20, 30 or 100 Gold Coins * A treasure chest is opened for an item. * A battle * An attribute is changed (same as the ! tile) * An attribute is changed by -1, +1 or +2 by the 'voice' * You gain +10 more rolls of the dice. * The next roll will be a slow one, so you can choose the number. * Go back 5 spaces. * Taken to an inn. (You will carry on from there.) * Sent to a treasure trove. * Go forwards 6 spaces. * Trapdoor * No monster encounters on grass/forest and hills for a short time.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------BOARDS' SUMMARY-------------------------------------------------------------------------------See the place sections for the full maps of each board.

1. FORTUNA T'N'T BOARD.------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Turns: 10 Prize: Mini Medal, Edged Boomerang

This is found inside the Casino, and down the hole in the floor at the far leftof the ground floor.

2. VENTUNO T'N'T BOARD------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Turns: 18 Prize: Lacy Bustier, Prayer Ring

This is accessed from the island off the coast of Lodestar Harbour. Sail to theisland and enter the small 'town'. From here, board the casino ship.

3. SPRING T'N'T BOARD-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 281: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Turns: 23 Prize: Happy Hat, Miracle Sword

This is situated to the north-west of the Faerie lands, where you will find asmall lake with a round building. The location is where the Winter Palace usedto be, and so there won't be a T'n'T board here until after completing thatsection of the game.

NOTE: When you reach the finish nothing happens...you must walk off the boardto the left and slide down the large hole in the ground to find the twotreasure chest prizes. Exit by going down the screen and up two sets of stairs.

4. NADIRIA T'N'T BOARD------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Turns: 25 Prize: Sands of Time, Mini Medal, T'n'T Free Pass (No more tickets needed!)

Find this board inside the building that is due south of Mt Zugzwang at thefar side of the purple lake. (I found this the easiest to complete.} Also, itgives you the Free Pass, which you might need if you plan to finish the finalboard.

5. STARK RAVING T'N'T BOARD------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Turns: 70 Prize: Recruit Starkers.

This can ONLY be accessed after you have beaten the game and have a starredsave. Zoom to Mt Zugzwang and walk a couple of steps south into the purplelake. (Use Safe Passage to avoid damage.) You will enter a new dungeon, and theboard is found if you walk up and take the first right. You must beat Estark toopen the door (and have the Ultimate Key.) Then, go down the stairs to find theboard. There is nothing else in here besides the board, and it's on a number offloors. It is fiendish, and hard to complete.

I've included this so you can quicklyidentify any missing monsters if you are trying to track down them all. Tocheck on your Book, you must be somewhere on the world map.

The monsters from the later pages are mostly from the later stages of the game,and, although some of them may appear in locations you have already visited,they won't be there early on in the game.

===============================================================================12. RECRUITABLE MONSTERS' EQUIPMENT/SPELLS/LOCATIONS .................... *L12===============================================================================

01. Monsters' Equipment02. Monsters' Spells and Locations03. Secret Monsters

NOTES:- Monsters do not level up at the same rate. For example: a Gigantes at level 7 has about the same HP (510) as other monsters at level 99.- Numbers in brackets denote the level at which they learn spells/skills. If there is no number, then they already have the spell when recruited.- All monsters can equip the Meteorite Bracer, Crude Image, Kamikaze Bracer, and Elfin Charm accessories. Only Slimes and Cats can use Bianca's Ribbon.- The difficulty description is taken from the game. The easier the recuitment, the less monsters of this kind you need to kill, before one will offer to join. However, this is not an exact science.

CREDIT: Stats, names and equipment lists are based on the Brady Strategy Guide.

Page 321: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Q1. Which enemies give the most experience and the most money?A1. The Metal King Slime gives the most experience (30,010), and the Balbib gives the most gold (1,020). You can find the MKS in Mt Zugzwang, and the Balbib in the area of Nadiria around Precaria town.

Q2. How do you kill Metal Slimes/Liquid Metal Slimes/King Metal Slimes?A2. Don't use spells. You need weapons that have a high chance of making a critical attack, (Hela Hammer, Demon Spear, Poison Needle) or a double hit. (Falcon Knife Earrings, Diamond Akillics, Falcon Blade.) High agility also helps: ideally equip Meteorite Bracers on everyone, although you can only find one (in the Magic Key room at Gotha) before completing the main game. High luck will help to increase the chance of making critical attacks. One other option is to equip the Ruinous Shield and Spike Armour to one character. With defence of 0, if the monster attacks, then the Spike Armour will return a quarter of the damage. (Not a reliable method!)

Q3. Which monsters have Omniheal?A3. King Cureslime and Epiphany already have this spell when first recruited. Cureslime learns it at level 30, and Healslime at level 36.

Q4. Help! I can't find Bianca's Ribbon, and I need it to recruit Saber.A4. Bianca's Ribbon is an important item, and as such cannot be discarded. (The game won't let you discard anything important!) That means that you have it somewhere, probably equipped to a monster you left with Monty. Simply talk to him and check up on all monsters to see their equipment. Other than that, check your bag.

Q5. Where's the best place to level up Starkers and Bjorn (or anyone else) to the maximum?A5. Given that the Metal King Slimes give the best experience, here's a strategy for fast levelling. (All credit to elcidanddarth for the strategy and this description: slightly edited.)

Location: Mt. Zugzwang, Section E, fourth level, (this is the room with the grates in the floor). In this location, you should be fighting Killing Machines, Pazuzus, Gigantes, Lick-o-flames, Drakensteins, Wight Kings, Doom and Gloom Sluggers, and of course, the Metal King Slime.

Page 322: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Requirements: One character has the Sands of Time and around 200 agility, and another character has the Hela Hammer, Sage's Stone and 255 agility. Suggestions: Everyone, except the Hela Hammer character, is equipped with Flails of Destruction. Everyone has the best armor and Meteorite Bracers (not including the Sands of Time character if it makes their agility too high).

Strategy: When you fight a Metal King Slime (MKS), use the Sands of Time on every round, and attack with everyone else. The Hela Hammer character will almost always go before the Sands of Time, and with a 50/50 chance that it hits, the fight is over, and you get 30,010 experience points. If you miss, the Sands of Time restarts the fight. In the off chance that the MKS goes before the Sands of Time, it will probably flee, but maybe not. And if the Sands of Time goes before your Hela Hammer, that doesn't matter.

You can use the Sage's Stone at the start of a round if healing is needed, and otherwise, just keep going. Fight other monsters when they appear, and these groups give (on average) around 2000 experience. Using this method it took elcidanddarth 13 hours to level up Starkers and Rebjorn to 99, which requires over 9 million experience points! Obviously they both need to be in the wagon or active party!

NOTE: This strategy only works when fighting MKS or any single metal monster. It doesn't work on groups.

Q6. Where's the best place for recruiting?A6. Of course this depends on who you're after, but for some difficult_to_find and_recruit monsters, one of the best places in Generation 3 is the Knick-Knackatory island. It's quick to zoom to, and easy to save and heal inside the building. Use the Musk item to increase the encounter rate, and here you will find: Pink Elephants, Red-hot Pokers, Revaulting Horse, Necromancer, Muddy Hand, (who calls Golem as back-up), Conkerer, Conkuistador, Conkuisitor, Conkjurer, and the Liquid Metal Slime. (You can also find these enemies close to the Stairway to Zenithia, just

Page 323: Dragon Quest v Hand of the Heavenly Bride

across the water from the K-K island, but it's more awkward to get there.)

Q7: Which is your favourite Dragon Quest game?A7: This one! (Though Dragon Warrior 7 (US release) is a close second.)
