Dragon Quest Monsters 2, Ruka's Quest Walkthrough v0.3 (8/23/01)
by Minami
This ia a full game walkthrough for the version of Dragon Quest Monsters 2
known as "Ruka's Quest."
Made to help people through the Game Boy Color game, Dragon Quest Monsters 2, a
game which was created by Enix Co. Japan
This FAQ is best viewed with a monospace font (such as Courier)
This FAQ may also help you through Cobi's Adventure when it is released, but
many of the names of places and items may be different from my translations.
Keep that in mind.
Version History:
v0.2: 8/15/01
- Walkthrough now covers 6 lands instead of 3. You should now be able to
complete the game with this walkthrough.
- Revamped the item list and added japanese text encoding. (shift-JIS)
To test if you have the proper encoding, look for an option known as
"encoding" on your browser and select Shift-JIS. If you have it, the
following string should be: ありがとうございます。 arigatou gozaimasu,
11 characters including the period. If you don't have it, visit
www.microsoft.com and download the Japanese IME.
- Fixed many old errors, but many more still remain, which is why I need
people to email
[email protected] pointing out my mistakes.
- The Monster, Skills, and Breeding sections are all untouched. The main
reason is because people need the walkthrough section more, so I'm
releasing that part now.
v0.1: 7/28/01
- First version of the walkthrough.
Introduction:
Dragon Quest Monsters 2 is the sequel to the popular Dragon Quest Monsters,
known as Dragon Warrior Monsters in the US. It is scheduled to be released on
9/17/01, but many people, like myself, have taken it upon themselves import the
japanese version several months early. (it was released in Japan back in April)
This walkthrough is written by someone with a low-level understanding of the
Japanese language. The main reason I'm making this walkthrough is to help
people who know even less than I do, and as a learning experience for me to
understand the language more. This is also my first walkthrough ever, and I
hope it is of some value to people. Bear with me, as there are still many gaps
and probably many mis-translations at this point.
The game itself is not all that different from Dragon Warrior Monsters 1.
The biggest change is that the dungeons are now static, not randomly generated
anymore. There are also more/new monsters, more/new items and new types of
items like accessories, a much better storyline and quest, skills for the hero,
and improved graphics. There are also two seperate games with different
monsters, but I only have Ruka's quest at this time. (now I wish I got Iru's
quest, lol) I think both games are about the same, because a website which
helped me through the Oasis covered Iru's quest, and it worked for Ruka's
quest too. Unfortunately, arena battles are still AI controlled, oh well. You
can also have more monsters in the farm than before. I think putting monsters
to sleep still exists, but I haven't found a way to put them to sleep yet. (I
own 23 monsters total at the time of this walkthrough)

Keys
========================
Keys appear in a seperate list than items. I believe you can have up to 40 keys
at once, but that is a complete assumption. (I haven't found that many keys
yet, but I'm sure I will, and mystery keys -can- be discarded) I'm dividing
this chart into two sections, one for normal keys, and one for mystery keys.
Normal keys take you to areas that are static in every game, mystery keys take
you to areas which are mostly, if not completely randomized. Whenever you get a
key, you'll hear a very distinguishable tone, which normal items in chests
don't have.

Walkthrough
========================
=======================================
Section 1 - Prelude
=======================================
You start on a ship. Talk to everyone and then talk to your little sister,
Iru. You should reach an island after that. You'll then be on this island of
Maruta. A few monsters are around, plus your father and a slime(Slash) are
blocking the path north. Talk to them, then go to the western house and talk to
the person inside, she seems to want a package. Go back and you should be able
to proceed north. Here you will meet a man and Warubou, real troublemakers.
After a few words, they'll go west. Follow and you'll find them hassling a
woman. The woman mentions that the man's name is Kameha. Go west two more
times, and you'll see them again, stealing goods from the merchant. Go north
and into the item shop, and you'll get a package. Go outside and you'll find
that Kameha and Warubou are blocking the way! Go east several times, and you'll
see that they're blocking that end too. (they sure are fast ;) Talk to Kameha,
and he'll try to steal your package. After a struggle, it falls into the well.
They chase after it, and obviously you must follow.
Down in the well, Kameha and Warubou are fighting over the package
themselves. Iru steps in and knocks the package out of their grasp, and Kameha
goes flying back and somehow unplugs some geyser type thing. He quickly runs
out of there, but Warubou gets sucked into it. You get the package back, now go
back to the southern house. Give her the package and talk, then go back to
where Warubou is stuck. Talk to him and answer yes to his question, and he'll
give you the Oasis Key. Go west, and he'll give you the Maruta Key as well.
You'll end up back in that woman's house, discussing something. Answer yes or
no to the question, then Slash will run in and he wants to join you. Another
yes/no question pops up, but you have to answer yes. Slash will join you. When
you're done, talk to the woman to get a yakusou. (medical herb)
Now you can finally start collecting monsters! Go back to the well, and
onwards to that strange star symbol door. Use the Oasis Key (it's probably your
second item) to be warped to the Oasis.
=======================================
Section 2 - Oasis
=======================================
Monsters in Desert - Spotted Slime, Sebotenboru(Cactus Ball),
Tosakahebi(Crested Snake), King Cobra, Te-rui-ta-
Random Items - Wing of Wyvern, Medical Herb, Staff of Return, Friendship Staff?
Oasis can be kind of difficult for a starter area, since the cactuses hit
hard and can often do critical hits, and has the initiative when you start out.
If you go back to Maruta, the Warubou will heal/revive all your monsters for
free. (and won't give you an eventually inventory wasting herb like in dqm1,
either) Also, your little sister will take care of your monsters, kind of like
that other kid in the first game. ;) See the menu translations above for info
on that. You can also get a Pork Chop from your father. Anyway, back in the
oasis, you'll quickly find the village of Karukara.
Items in Karukara: Monster Feed(pot)
The villagers talk about something at the village of Asshia to the south. In
one of the houses you can find a Monster Feed in the pot, as well as a man
blocking a staircase. Go outside again and wander a bit. You can see a map by
pressing SELECT. Asshia is due south of Karukara, and there's a mysterious
oasis that receeds when you enter it to the southeast of Karukara. You can't do
much about that yet, so just head to Asshia.
Items in Asshia: Antidote Herb(pot)
Items in Asshia's Item Shop: Medical Herb(10g), Antidote Herb(4g), Awake
Powder(20g), Monster Feed(10g), Wing of the Wyvern(30g)
Head to Asshia after building levels and catching monsters. There, you can
find an Antidote Herb in the pot. Talk to all the people, get monsters from the
well if you want (you may notice the wells are almost dry because of the dam),
then talk to the man outside the inn. Answer yes to his question and you'll end
up in the palace, providing entertainment by having your monsters jump through
a flaming hoop! After being cheered, you'll then end up in a room in the east
wing of the palace. When you can roam, talk to people then go to the king.
Answer yes to his questions, then wander around outside the castle a bit and
talk to all the people. Go back to the king and talk to him, and a man will
rush in saying something about Karukara that's related the wells drying up. The
king's disturbed about it, and runs off to Karukara. You follow of course. ;)
Go back to where the man blocking the staircase was. He won't let the king
pass, but the king will force his way through. Go down the stairs as well. You
will be on the other side of the dam you saw in Asshia.
Monsters in Underground Waterway - Oomimizu, Ghost, Obake Candle(Ghost Candle)
Items in Underground Waterway - Pork Chop(pot), Medical Herb(pot), Memory
Bell(chest), Holy Staff(chest), Travel Journal(pot), Small Medal(pot)
Get everything from the chests and pots, then find the other side of the
dam. The king is talking with a monster, Biban, the first boss in the game.
Biban (ビーバーン)
HP: ~100
EXP: 240 (split between # of alive monsters in party)
Skills: none
It wasn't that hard for me, but my levels were 6, 9, and 6 from getting lost.
All you can really do is hit and heal at this point, but you may not even need
to heal. Meats don't work on it, and it has around 100 hp. It isn't possible to
get it to join your party yet, but you can get one to join you later. After you
defeat it, it will disappear along with the dam near it, and the wells will
fill up again! The king will rush back to the palace. When you reach him, he'll
take you to the treasure room, but it's been ransacked! Yes, even those chests
you can't walk to are empty. ;) The King gathers some soldiers in for a
meeting, then they all go to that strange oasis I mentioned earlier, hoping to
find the thieves. As usual, you follow.
The oasis is a few east and a couple north of Asshia, just barely east of
some mountains. It shouldn't be too hard to find. The king and his soldiers
will be there, and the oasis dries up again as they get near. This is where
most people will get stuck without knowing much Japanese. You have to go back
to the prison in Asshia, and bring the top prisoner some food. (if you don't
have any yet, and can't read the kanas, just buy the only item from the store
that has an I in it) You'll get a Yobimizu from him, which is needed to show
the true appearance of the lake. Then go back to oasis and use this item while
facing the small part of the lake that's left. For you people who don't even
know hiragana ::shudder::, the item's name looks sorta like this. (hope you can
decipher my bad ascii art)

You'll be at the real lake. Go east and north and into the thieves' hideout.
Talk to the thing blocking the way north, and you'll meet the second boss:
Cursed Lamp!
Noroi no Lamp (のろいのランプ)
HP: ~240
Exp: 300
Skills: sukara
This monster can join you, so feed it all your meats just to be on
the safe side, you don't want to miss out on it. When you defeat it, the king
and soldiers will rush in and capture the remaining thieves. When they come
out, the king gives you a Uminari no Kare. You go back to the Warubou and plug
in the geyser again. It doesn't hold up though, and Warubou gets sucked back
in. After conversing a little, Warubou will cast a spell on you, allowing you
to now make a seashell thing appear to ride on water. Go back out the well. But
first, you can optionally go back to the lake in the oasis and talk to the
Biibaan next to the entrance. Answer yes to its question and it will join you.
Also go back to the well/basement area. If you press A while facing the water,
you'll be able to ride a seashell to get all the chests/pots you missed. Back
in Maruta, a soldier will talk to you. The areas west of the well will now be
accessable.
=======================================
Section 3: Maruta Revisited
=======================================
New Items in Maruta: Branch of Maruta(pot), Small Medalx2(pot, pot)
Wander around the western side first, getting everything from the pots,
until you reach the colliseum. Talk to the bunny girl on the left and answer
yes to her question to get into the first colliseum battle! Here are the
monsters you will battle:
Battle 1: 2x Babbles, 1x Pooru Slime
Battle 2: 1x Cactus Ball, 1x Pixie, 1x Drakee
Battle 3: 2x Desufurattou, 1x Yonakunidori
After this (hopefully) easy battle, you will get a Pirate Key as your prize.
You can also try classes C, B, A, and S, but you will probably lose to class C
at this point. Now wander around the area that the red guard was blocking.
There's a locksmith and a library here, the library is just for information on
monsters you've had. The Locksmith changes your Mystery Keys into something
worthwhile, but he forces you to save you game before doing so. Finally, if you
go back to the monster farm, the woman in the house is tending to a sick
monster. She needs a "Water of Amoru" from you. If you get her one, she'll give
you 200g. When you're ready, try out that new key at the star door.
=======================================
Section 4 - Pirate Islands
=======================================
Monsters on Islands: Slime, Nasubinaara, Drakee, KillerScoop, Anteater, Guntai
Ari(Army Ant), Healer, Merman, Cold Wave, Poison Lizard, Pyoro, Gamanian,
Takotsubokozou, Arrow Dog, Kodorani, Puchiiru, Hitotsume Piero(one-eyed clown?,
Dancing Carrot, Burashi Kozou(Young Brush?), Dragon Kid, Fury Cat(southwest
island), Pteradon(southwest island)
Random items: Monster Feed, Pork Chop, Rib, Medical Herb, Angel Bell, Gekkeiju,
Some Gold
Wander around a little (very little) until you reach the village of Yorudo.
Items in Yorudo: Staff of Return(barrel)
Items in Yorudo's Item Shop: Medical Herb(10g), Water of Amoru(50g), Antidote
Herb(4g), Awake Powder(20g), Pork Chop(40g), Wing of the Wyvern(30g), Travel
Journal(50g)
I don't know what's happening here, except when you talk to an old man, the
ground shakes. The Water of Amoru item in the shop heals a monster for around
twice as much as the Herb. When you're done here, the next village is Porounya,
to the northwest of Yorudo.
Items in Porounya: none! No item shop either.
You can find an inn and healer here, as well as a strange man looking out to
the sea. When you answer "yes" to his question, your party dances. This won't
do anything, yet. Now exit and go a bit northeastish to Port Rittsu.
Items in Port Rittsu: Small Medal(barrel)
Items in Port Rittsu's Item Shop: Water of Amoru(50g), Antidote Herb(4g), Awake
Powder(20g), Pork Chop(40g), Rib(200g), Staff of Return(50g), Memory Bell(50g)
Go into the pub and you'll and meet up with Kameha and two other people.
(thugs?) He recognizes you from before, says a few things at you, then shoves
you out of the way and exits. The barkeep (as well as some of the townspeople)
say something about the depressed old man at the bar. Whatever it is, your next
goal is the cave to the northwest of Porounya.
Monsters in Western Cave: Youkoigyo, Pooru Slime, Gamanian
Items in Western Cave: Rib(chest), Water of Amoru x2(chest), Ningyo no
Uroko(chest), Memory Bell(chest), Staff of Return(chest)
Just explore it a bit, find all the chests, and at the lower right hand
corner, you can fight Ikazukin.
Ikazukin (イカずきん) (odd pink squid)
HP: ~230 (has high defense)
Exp: 520
Skills: none
Meats don't work on it, so don't try them. It -really-
helps if you use defense raising spells like Sakura, and healing spells
are a must. I had the Slime, Lamp, and Healer when I battled it. Eventually,
hopefully, you should win, and it will ask to join your party after it's
defeated. It is probably much more powerful than your other monsters at this
point in the game, so take it in. ;) It's also completely tame when you get it,
so it should follow orders as well! Go back to the depressed old man in the bar
and he'll get all excited. Answer yes to all his questions, then leave the city
and head back to Poronya.
Remember the bard who asks you to dance? Talk to him again, you'll dance a
different dance this time, and then a mermaid will pop up along the seashore.
She takes you down to see her queen. The queen tells you about a ghost ship
north of Yorudo. Go to square on the world map with Yorudo then head one square
north, it should be there.
Monsters in Ghost Ship: Kusattashitai, Reigigaasu, Trick Bag
Items in Ghost Ship: Pork Chop(barrel), Bad Meat(barrel), Staff of Return(pot),
Antidote Herb(pot), Water of Amoru(pot), Agility Seed(chest), Dolphin
Mantle(chest), Fairy Water(chest), Leaf of the World Tree(chest)
The monsters in the ship can be kind of difficult. The zombie-like monsters
can poison your whole party, and the stingray-like monsters have an all-target
spell. There are several Bone Prisoners blocking passages as well, which can't
be fed meat/won't join you. They only have 70 hp or so, but cast a somewhat
strong all-target spell on you. This is another small and easy to navigate
dungeon. Don't miss the three chests behind that wall that seem unreachable.
You have to go up to the top deck, kill the bone prisoner, then face down from
where it was standing and press A. The crate will go away, and you can get the
chests below. At the right side of the top deck, you'll find the captain's
quarters. Go inside, talk to the man blocking the chest, and a rather tough
fight will begin, with the Pirate Captain and -two- Bone Prisoners. I used the
starter slime at lv.14, the squid from the cave at lv.14, and a Healer at
lv.16.
Yuureisenchou (ゆうれいせんちょう) (Pirate Captain)
HP: ~500
Exp: 780
Skills: none
Bone Prisoner (ボネプレソナー)
HP: ~60
Exp: 350
Skills: Io
Have your healers use the third tactic(defensive) while your fighters
are set to the first tactic(offensive). Try Out(second tactic) might be a good
idea if you have any defense or offense raising spells. When the two prisoners
are dead, change any magic-using fighters to the fourth tactic so you only use
physical attacks, unless one of your monsters has a spell which harms only one
monster, then order it to cast that each round. It helps if you can directly
control your healing monster, but mine was too wild at the time. Use healing
items if necessary, and eventually the captain should fall. In the chest is the
Tsuki no Ishi. (Moon Stone) Go back to the Mermaid Queen to get a Sailor's
Ring. Now go to a lighthouse east of Port Rittsu, it's on an island north of
the one that's completely surrounded by icebergs.
Monsters in Lighthouse: Hitotsume Piero, Slime Snail, Meeda, Nasubinaara
Items in Lighthouse: Branch of Maruta(chest)
Go all the way to the top, and use the Tsuki no Ishi when facing the
pedestal. The stone will be in place and the icebergs will all melt! Here's
another of my ugly ascii arts for those of you who don't know what item to use.
;)

Eventually you'll find an item similar to my illustration. Now you can
finally go into the cave on the southern island!
Monsters in Eastern Cave: Evil Wand, Dark Eye, Akuamarinhouku, Cactus Ball,
Yatagarasu, Dragon Kid, Gamegon
Items in Eastern Cave: Fairy Water(chest), Staff of Return(chest)
Hidden items in Eastern Cave: Leaf of the World Tree(chest), Nut of Life,
Defense Seed
Random items in Eastern Cave: Gold, Medical Herb, Wing of the Wyvern, Pork
Chop, Rib, Memory Bell
When you enter the cave, good old Kameha and Co. comes in and runs right by
you. Guess he wants something on this island. ;) First, get the two chests on
the eastern side of the cave, down the stairs. Take note of the pit here,
you'll be able to cross it later on in the game. Then double back and go down
the western stairs. Go south and east, and you'll find Kameha again, surprised
to see you here so soon. After a little talk, the floor opens up, and Kameha
and his goons fall in. Go south and west from here, down the stairs, then west
and north. You'll find Kameha yet again. Defying all laws of physics, he
somehow comes from -behind- you. (shouldn't he be coming from the east?) He
pushes you away, and rushes west, only to have a boulder fall next to him and
chase him into a pit to the east. How nice of him to disable all the traps thus
far. ;) Now go west. You'll be in a room with lots of damage tiles. (5 hp per
step) Hopefully you have a healer, stepguard(unlikely), or lots of herbs picked
up from all over. The chests contain a Soldier's Ring, and a Sekaiju no
Shizuku, which heals your party's HP completely. Now go southish until you
reach the treasure room. Of course, Kameha's gang runs in again. One of his
"lackeys" runs around Kameha and ties him up, then shoves Kameha to the wall!
That lackey finds a mirror(I don't know its name, but it isn't the Mirror of
Ra) in the chest, and Kameha's lackeys are revealed to be demons. The now
revealed demon boasts about something, then Kameha gets mad and jumps up and
down. (as much as a tied up person can) A pit opens up and the demons and
treasure fall in, everything except the mirror anyway. You untie Kameha, then
he runs off. When you get the mirror, Warubou warps you back to him. You try
using the mirror to plug the geyser, but that fails too, and it breaks. Warubou
is sucked in again, and casts another spell on you, which allows you to destroy
small rocks. Now you can see the somewhat changed Maruta.
=======================================
Section 5 - Maruta Revisited (again)
=======================================
New items in Maruta: 400g from the woman in the house
Items in Maruta's item shop: Medical Herb(10g), Water of Amoru(50g), Antidote
Herb(4g), Monster Feed(10g), Pork Chop(40g), Wing of the Wyvern(25g), Travel
Journal(50g), Dragon Scale(20g)
The tide just came in in Maruta. Lots of places are flooded by water now.
Your father made a new section of the farm, in the northeast corner. He wants
one of those gopher like monsters with a shovel, KillerScoop, to dig for
treasure. If you bring him one, you lose the monster forever, but you get a
Small Medal instead! You'll also notice the shop that's east, south, west, west
from the well is now open. Also, you can now go to the breeding place north of
the well. See my breeding menu translations for info on that. The woman
upstairs of the breeding place can predict and change an egg's gender. If you
go south then west from the old breeder man and press A while facing the rock,
you'll be able to destroy it. The hard part now is: Where is the key? This is
easy to miss since the name of the monster you need to get is mostly in
hiragana, but the merchant near the other merchant who was robbed wants one of
those ant-like monsters to help him, Guntai Ari, so get one from the screen
south of Poronya. He'll give you a Koori no Kagi in return, which is the Ice
Key. You might want to try to win the C rank in the colliseum. If you win,
you'll get a mystery key which lets you access one of the many optional lands.
Hopefully you can identify your Maruta Key, so keep in mind that all mystery
keys are above it on the list, instead of below it.
=======================================
Section 6 - Ice Land
=======================================
Monsters in Ice Land: Gappurin, Hane(Wing) Slime, Kemono no Kishi, Minon,
Arumiraaji, Orc, Grizzly, Gizmo, Slime Knight, Abareushidori, Mooza,
Samayouyoroi(Rogue Knight), Kitsunebi, Dragon, Iwatobiakuma
Monsters in Water: Iruka Chouchin, Seahorse, Fish Rider
Random items in Ice Land: Magic Water, Medical Herb, Water of Amoru, Laurel,
Pork Chop, Rib, Leaf of the World Tree, Nut of Life, Friendship Staff, Memory
Bell
Oddly, random encounters are rather sparse here. The experience is pretty
good though, and the monsters are pretty easy as well. Head north and west a
bit, and you absolutely can't miss the castle town of Noosuden.
Items in Noosuden: Small Medal(pot),
Items in Noosuden's Item Shop: Water of Amoru(65g), Antidote Herb(5g),
Mangetsusou(20g), Gekkeiju(20g), Pork Chop(50g), Rib(250g), Staff of
Return(50g), Memory Bell(100g!), Branch of Maruta(50g)
Don't miss the Small Medal in the pot right at the entrance. As usual, I
have little to no clue what the people here are talking about, though my best
guess would be about how the king is acting strangely. (you'll see ;) The
store's prices are also a bit inflated here, but not as bad as on the Floating
Island. You can't enter the castle, so leave when you're finished your business
in the town. Back outside, there are three other places you can go to, a frozen
lake, the southeast tunnel, and the southwest tunnel. Go to the frozen lake
first, and talk to the odd thing in the center of the lake. Answer yes to its
question, and you will get a Seirei no Shirushi(Spirit's Symbol), an event
item. The southeast tunnel is optional, and the southwest tunnel is where you
continue the game, so go to the southeast one first.
It's a monster-free, manmade tunnel of no interest. When you surface you
will be near the town of Nofoo, so enter.
Items in Nofoo: none
Items in left-most Nofoo Shop: Bouken Tan(10000g), Kowai Hanashino Ban(10000g),
Yasashi Kunareru Ban(10000g), Zurukko no Ban(10000g), Atama Gasaeru
Ban(10000g), Joke Book(10000g)
Items in top-right Nofoo Shop: Water of Amoru(65g), Dew of the World
Tree(750g), Magic Potion(300), Angel Bell(30g), Pork Chop(50g), Staff of
Return(50g), Memory Bell(100g)
Items in bottom-right Nofoo Shop: Laurel(20g), Leaf of the World Tree(1500g),
Rib(200g), Travel Journal(100g), Branch of Maruta(100g), Momonja's Tail(800g),
Gold Harp(1200g), Gold Pass(20000g)
There are three, yes three merchants here, all in one room as well! A man
mentions something about a "Gold Pass" which is sold by the merchant near him.
I don't know what this is, but it sounds important. Unfortunately I'm nowhere
near having the 20000 gold needed yet, and you probably don't have it yet
either, so come back here later in the game. I believe the items in the left
shop change a monster's personality. I don't know the proper translations for
any of those except Joke Book. Anyway, go back to that southwest tunnel,
because it seems like you can't go anywhere else.
Items in Southwest Tunnel: Stamina Beret(chest), Mimic(monster in chest)
Monsters in Southwest Tunnel: Droll, Mummy, Mud Hand(Goopi), Herubokkuru
Random items in Southwest Tunnel: Memory Bell, Pork Chop, Medical Herb
Remember that spell the Warubou cast on you? Now it comes to good use.
There's plenty of nice small rocks here to destroy. Some even have a little
money under them! First, north at the entrance, then head right and keep going
wherever you can. On the next floor you'll find some rocks blocking the
wonderful item, Stamina Beret! You should be able to break the rocks, though.
Use this right away, on a party member with rather low hp. (for me, it was my
Healer) Double back to the intersection, then go west once, then north until
you see a tunnel. Don't go through the tunnel, but go west. The chest is a
mimic. You -can- get it to join your party, so try to...even though it's
probably much weaker than your party at this point, it's still worth having for
the breeding pool. (and it can level up, unlike in the first DQM!) Now go west,
south, east, up the stairs, then break the two rocks and press A on the
stalactites behind it. A living rock, Bokudaniwa, will fall on you and attack!
Bokudaniwa (ぼくだにわ) (a ball with an evil grin)
HP: ~700
EXP: 1900
Skills: One that attacks the whole party
At first it seems difficult, but it really isn't. Its all-target spell can
really hurt, but it has to rest a round after using it, giving you more than
enough time to heal. Again, you can't get it to join your party. After it dies,
it swears at you(which will probably be edited out in the US version ;), and
casts a spell. Something falls from above(ore?), and two soldiers come running
in from each side. I don't know what they're saying, but once that's done, go
back out and back to the castle. Talk to the left guard and you'll be able to
go into the castle. Go north, then talk to the left guard and you'll talk to
the King. The king will order the soldier to leave, then he'll open up a pit,
swallowing you and your monsters. (how sweet your monsters are, running into
the pit after you!) Is this the age old fake king plot? Hmm...
Down in the pit, guess who you'll meet? Kameha, and the real king! Kameha is
obviously mad, and the real king tells you his story. (which I can't understand
much of) When you're done talking to them, inspect the "Unusual Section of the
Wall"(tm) and Kameha will break it open, freeing the three of you from that
trap. Go north and up, and the two kings will be battling it out. Talk to the
north one repeatedly until it curses and turns into a monster, Silver Devil. It
then attacks you. It isn't really too difficult, not compared to the previous
boss.
Silver Devil (シルバーデビル) (looks like a baboon with wings)
HP: ~550
EXP: 3020
Skills: Firebane?, One which physically attacks the whole party (can often be
dodged)
Use magic to raise your defense at the beginning, heal when needed, and
attack it however you want to. My party which you should know by now was level
22, 22, and 25. (I love how quickly healers level!) Again, you can't convince
this monster to join your party. *sigh* After the battle, the king will
traditionally thank you and the southwest tunnel soldiers let you pass. Now
you'll be able to access many more places! The first town I went to was Viston,
which you can reach by hugging the southern mountains and coast.
Items in Viston: Small Medal(barrel)
Items in Viston's Item Shop: Water of Amoru(75g), Full Moon Herb(45g), Angel
Bell(30g), Rib(300g), Wing of the Wyvern(30g), Memory Bell(150g!), Branch of
Maruta(50g)
Don't miss the small medal in the barrel right away. One man talks about a
Helen, queen of Eastoria. Another talks about the forest to the south. Lots of
people talk about a important person named Yuna, she's the princess of the next
place you should go. The castle of Uisutaanya is a bit to the west. Just look
at the map (press SELECT) if you don't know how to reach it.
Items in Uisutaanya: none
When you get here, you'll see that several jesters are blocking the way in.
I believe the sign says that the king is looking for someone to cheer Yuna up.
After reading the sign, Kameha will barge in and plow through the jesters
blocking the way. Now, you yourself can go in as well. Talk to the people here,
then talk to the priest blocking the way to the throne room. He will let you
pass. When you go north, Kameha will try, and fail, to entertain the princess.
When he leaves, you'll come up and do the same flaming hoop trick you did for
the King of Asshia. It doesn't cheer her up though, and the King's
disappointed, and tells you something. When you're free to wander, go two rooms
south, one room west, and up the vines, you'll be in Yuna's bedroom. There's a
strange thing by her bed, but you can't do anything about it yet. Now look for
some discolored trees to the southeast of Viston. Enter there now.
Random Items in Forest: Magic Water, Water of Amoru
Monsters in Forest: Baby Satan(Mini Demon in US), Shadow, Man Eater, Kirikabu
Obake(Demon Stump)
It's kind of a maze, but not really. All you really need to do is follow the
girl who disappears whenever you enter a room. If you really need directions,
just go south, watch her disappear, then west, south, east, and she'll
disappear again. Now go south and talk to her. Make sure you have room in your
inventory, then answer yes to her question and she'll give you a Hime no
Tamashii. (Princess' Spirit) Go back to the castle, and you'll find out the
Princess went to her room. Go up the vine and talk to the princess at the
table. The strange puppet thing by her bed will come alive and say some things
to you, then attack if you say Yes. (if you say no, talking to it will make it
attack)
Fear Puppet (フィアーパペット)
HP: 400
Exp: 2540
Skills: Confuse, that's it
Fortunately, this has to be the easiest boss of the game, so I don't
really even need to cover it much. Since your party currently can't do anything
too devastating while confused, you should be fine with defense raising spells.
(just don't use strength raising ones!) This one won't join you either. When
it's defeated, the princess will snap out of her stupor from being controlled
by a puppet. (how ironic) She mentions something about Oozora no Tate(Heaven
Shield from DQ4-6) and Queen Helen. Now go to the last city you see on your
map, Eastoria.
Items in Eastoria:
Items in Eastoria's Item Shop: Water of Amoru(50g), Full Moon Herb(45g), Angel
Bell(30g), Rib(200g), Staff of Return(100g), Memory Bell(100g), Travel
Journal(100g), Branch of Maruta(50g)
Most of the people talk about Queen Helen here. If you come here before
completing the Yuni quest, she will be on the throne and you'll be able to talk
to her. If after, you'll find out that she has fallen ill, and needs an herb on
top of the north mountain to cure her. I don't know if talking to her before
you're supposed to be here has any significance or not, but otherwise, there
isn't really much you can do here right now. So head to the mountain which is a
bit to the north now.
Items on Mountain: Mystery Key!(chest)
Monsters on Mountain: Fuyuuju, Ganko Dori(a weaker version than before),
Desufareena
This is another surprisingly short dungeon. Go north, west, south, then up
the leftmost climb. Go east a screen, up, east, down to the chest with a
Mystery Key. No go back north, west, south, and west again, then go up, then
east. Make sure you have space in your inventory, then press A while facing the
plants, and you'll get a Touminsou. (Winter Herb) Go back down the mountain and
out, and head back to Eastoria. Rest at the inn, because yet another monarch in
this cursed land is posessed by a demon. Talk to the woman in the castle who's
blocking the way up, and she'll take you to the queen. Use the Touminsou while
facing the queen and a demon, Ankuruhoon, will appear by her! I'm not drawing
this one in hiragana, so if you can't read it, just don't get any items once
you get the herb, except maybe the Mystery Key, and use the last item on your
list. ;) If you say yes, it will attack you. If you say no, it will attack you
when you talk to the queen.
Ankuruhon (アンクルホーン) (smiling fat demon with a blue beard)
HP: ~750
Exp: 6020
Skills: Fireball(or Firebane?), One that does ~30 damage to your party
It can be rather difficult because of the all-target
spells it casts on your party, and its high hp, but as long as your
healing monster alternates Healall spells(which I hope you have by now) between
your monsters, you should be fine. It occasionally uses its weak physical
attack, which is also a relief sometimes. It won't join your party. After it
perishes, it gets mad at you as always, then disappears. The queen's attendant?
thanks you, then the queen tells you something. Once you're done here, go back
outside.
You've saved the three kingdoms, but the lake's still frozen in many parts.
What to do now? Simple: Go back to the lake, talk to the thing in the center of
the lake, answer Yes to its question, and three demons will appear and attack.
Two Archdemons and another Ankuruhoon. This battle is offically, -extremely-
unfair.
Ankuruhon (アンクルホーン) (smiling fat demon with a blue beard)
HP: ~750
Exp: 6020
Skills: Fireball(or Firebane?), One that does ~30 damage to your party
Archdemon (アークデーモン)
HP: ~230
Exp: 2110
Skills: Same ~30 damage spell that the above boss has
The first time I came here, they used three skills in succession that
damaged my monsters for over 100hp each that round. Needless to say, I died
very quickly. The second time though, I was lucky enough to kill the two
Archdemons in 3 rounds, and they never used that nasty skill 30-40 damage
skill. This battle is almost entirely based on luck, so if you don't want to
die, use a Travel Journal before trying this battle and reset if you're killed.
(or doomed) Make sure to kill the two Archdemons first, then use the same
strategy as before for the remaining Ankuhuroon. Hopefully after a few tries,
you will be successful. After that, a strange voice will thank you. When you're
done talking, use the Seirei no Shirushi(せいれいのしるし) while facing the
thing in the frozen lake. Since you got this item so long ago, here is what it
looks like, for those who can't read Hiragana and don't have the Japanese IME:

The woman you've been talking to all along appears, thanks you, and you get
the Heaven Shield. Now Warubou sends you back to him to try to plug the geyser
again. The shield comes out and breaks, (amazing how the legendary shield can
survive dozens of Demon Kings, but not a geyser, huh?) and Warubou gets sucked
back in. He casts yet another spell on you, that lets you make a cloud to fly
over pits! (press A while facing a pit) There's one other dungeon in Ice Land,
an entirely optional tower in the middle of the sea. I'm going to cover that
before covering Maruta again.
Items in Ice Land Tower:
floor 1: Staff of Thunder, Dragon Beret
floor 2: Atamagasaeruban(chest), Fortitude Mantle(chest)
floor 4: Madoushi no Ring(chest), Friendship Staff(chest)
Top: Goddess Ring(chest), Hoshifuri no Orb
Monsters in Ice Land Tower: Golem, Fear Puppet, Silver Devil
There are many valuable items here, but the battles are as difficult as some
recent bosses, so be careful! If you end up in a battle with a golem alone,
feed it all your Ribs and it just might join. It's pretty powerful at this
point, but also likely very wild and disobedient. There are also many powerful
damage tiles here, but you -can- complete this dungeon and get all the chests
without stepping on any. The key to doing so is by flying over pits and taking
advantage of those steps with white rocks next to them. Those white rocks can
be destroyed by pressing A on them. When you get to the top, you will find a
Hoshifuri Orb, and the wonderful Goddess Ring, which restores 1 MP to a monster
with every step! You will (thankfully) be able to jump off the tower. Now lets
see what's new in Maruta!
=======================================
Section 7 - Maruta Yet Again
=======================================
New items in Maruta: Mystery Key(old man's dresser), Great Dragon's Scale(pot
on top of tree), Sirloin(pot in place the KillerScoop made), Small Medal(pot in
place the KillerScoop made)
New item shop in Maruta: Dew of the World Tree(500g), Magic Potion(200g), Full
Moon Herb(20g), Laurel(20g), Awake Powder(20g), Angel Bell(20g), Rib(200g),
Branch of Maruta(50g), Travel Journal(50g)
Your first stop should be the castle. When you meet the Annoying Blocker
Guard on the steps, he asks you something about Kameha. (I'm almost positive
he's the Prince of Maruta, *ugh*) Answer yes and the guard will take you to the
king. The king talks to you a little, then you get the Sky Key from him, which
will take you to another land. (which isn't covered in this version of the
walkthrough) Now you can roam freely around the castle, except for one area
blocked by another Annoying Blocker Guard. On the treetop is a pot with a Great
Dragon's Scale. After getting what's in that pot, go out. The new places you
can go to are: Name change place with a Scroll sign above it, Bar which has a
mug sign over it. In the bar, a merchant will want to breed one of your
monsters with his monster.(Togebouzu?) A grumpy old man blocking a key is west
of the main castle entrance, but you can steal a Mystery Key from his drawer.
If you do that, and talk to him again, he mentions Isekai. (the optional land I
covered) Back in the colliseum, a man in red clothes will ask you to breed one
of your monsters with his Killer Ape. The medal man is finally reachable as
well, it's in the place above the storage center. If you have at least 3
medals, you can browse his selection of an item(the orb) and monster eggs. Here
they are, in order:
Hoshifuri no Orb (3 medals)
Killer Pansaa (3 medals)
Hoonbiitoru (4 medals)
Sukai Dragon (4 medals)
Dagon (5 medals)
Maou no Tsukii (5 medals)
The merchant you helped last will now sell items to you as well, at very
reasonable prices too! See my list at the beginning of this section to see what
he sells. The woman in the house takes items from you and gives you money in
return if you repeatedly talk to her. (stop when you get 1200g though, or
you'll lose a sirloin) Finally, go to the hole the Killer Scoop made to get two
items from the pots.
Oh, and remember that room with the chests in the Eastern Cave of Pirate
Island? There was a pit there, and now you can cross it! Go all the way back
those chests, go straight down from the staircase, and press A. A cloud will
appear and take you to three chests. They are, from left to right, a Leaf of
the World Tree, Nut of Life, and Defense Seed.
I was also able to win the B Class of arena by now, so you probably should
be able to as well. Your prize is a Mystery Key. At this point, I had three new
locksmith made keys: Futsuu no Numa no Kagi, Kiiro i Shinrin no Kagi, and the
Futsuu no Tsuki no Kagi. Many of these optional lands each have another Mystery
Key which turned into a Kuro i Kouya no Kagi, a Futsuu no Tori no Kagi,
Shizukanasora no Kagi, Hajime no Oka no Kagi, and Hajime no Slime no Kagi. Read
the "Mystery Lands" section for coverage on them.
=======================================
Section 8 - Land of Monsters
=======================================
Random Items in Sky Land: Nice amounts of gold, Memory Bell, Rib, Full Moon
Herb, Water of Amoru, Magic Water, Elf Water, All Nuts and Seeds, Leaf
of the World Tree, Dew of the World Tree, Henge no Tsue, Mafuuji no Tsue
Monsters in Sky Land: Slime Fang, Hanamadou, Emyuu(colorful ostrich),
Danbiramuucho(a really overweight...thing), Fear Riiratto(bee), Evil
Posuto(tongue monster), Desufuratta(raven), Kamakiri Senshi(a bug-like
soldier), Gigantes(Atlas in DW2), Momonja(duck), Metal Slime!, Killer Goose,
Dragon(green), Killer Ape, Bubble Demon, Raionekku(a demon), Andorearu(dragon
with tiny wings), Stone Slime, Neji Makidoritachi(bird with a trumpet-like
beak), Dragon Maddo, Hana Kawasemi(bird flower thing), Yonakunidori(bird with
eyes on wings), Obake Kareki(dead tree), Karyuusou(plant with purple breath)
Your first stop should be the tower to the north. It looks like a tower, but
it's really a town of monsters! I believe it's called Funt.
All the talk here seems to revolve around two things, a Hikari no Orb, and a
"Ugooru." Be sure to talk to the center grave in the graveyard, a monster will
appear and tell you something about the orb. There is also a tower to the north
of the entrance. Press A facing the door and you can enter.
Items in Tower: Memory Bell, Mystery Key, Priest's Ring
Monsters in Tower: Hitoku i Saber(sword), Akuma no Kagami(Demon Mirror),
Beruzaburu(fly), Aiantaatoru(turtle), Akuma no Kishi(Axe Knight)
From the start, there are two staircases up you can take. The northern one
eventually leads to a mere Memory Bell, so go east unless you -really- need
that bell. It's very straightforward until the fourth floor. On the forth
floor, take the lower path east, the upper path just leads to a dead end. Soon
you will find a treasure room, but a Hell Condor will steal a pallete-swapped
chest! (which has the orb you need ;) You -can- get a Mystery Key and Priest's
Ring though, and if you inspect the already empty chests, you'll see that
there's no Hikari no Orb inside either of them. Go back down to the center
grave in the graveyard, talk to him, and answer yes to his question, and he'll
give you directions. Inspect the back side of this monster's grave, to get the
Henge no Tsue, or Staff of Change. Go to the tower on the southwest of the
island, and use this item to become a monster, and the Dark Horn will let you
pass. Now you can reach many more places, and battle some new monsters. Your
next stop should be the nearest town on the map, Pei.
Items in Pei:
Items in Pei's Item Shop: Water of Amoru(60g), Dew of the World Tree(600g),
Magic Water(250g), Rib(200g), Sirloin(1500g), Fairy Water(120g), Staff of
Return(100g), Memory Bell(100g)
The townspeople(monsters) more or less talk about three things. One mentions
something about the Hikari no Orb, another directs you toward the Hell Condor,
and another mentions a Maou, or Demon King. One of the monsters in the inn
points you to the south. There isn't really much else to do here except shop.
When you're done, go out and to the west, as far west on the continent as you
can go. You can try to catch a Metal Slime or two if you want, they're really
good for breeding. (though their life span isn't too great) I was only able to
find male ones though. Two Sirloins will USUALLY convince one to join your
party, but not always. If you're rich, three should be good. You need a high
strength rating if you want to be able to kill one before it runs. (my Mimic
maxed out with enough) Whether or not you try to get some metal slimes, go to
the mountain. The Hell Condor will swoop in and take you to its nest, then
it'll attack.
Hell Condor (ヘルコンドル)
HP: ~650
Exp: 15000
Skills: Healmore
This isn't too hard, especially if you have started breeding or
have been to many Mystery lands by now. Use defense spells if needed, heal when
necessary, and use your skills against it. (my Healer(pedigree) which I bred
with a Metal Slime(partner) has a fire spell which does over 160 damage, wee)
It should die eventually. By the way, you -can- convince it to join you, so be
sure to feed it your extra meats. When it dies, it's just...gone. The Hikari no
Orb is nowhere to be found, but you can find a Dew of the World Tree in the
chest. Now go to a tunnel to the southeast. On the other side, go southeast
some more until you reach a castle. (it's on your map) That's the last town in
this land, Hitaano.(Hightown?)
Items in Hitaano:
Items in Hitaano's Item Shop: Water of Amoru(75g), Dew of the World Tree(750g),
Magic Water(300g), Leaf of the World Tree(1000g), Sirloin(1500g), Fairy
Water(300g), Staff of Return(150g), Memory Bell(150g), Travel Journal(100g),
Branch of Maruta(50g)
Monsters talk about the orb, the demon king, and various locations. The king
here seems to want three special relics, Tenkuu no Kabuto, Tenkuu no Yoroi, and
Tenkuu no Tsurugi. These translate to Sky Helmet, Sky Armor, and Sky Sword.
The Tenkuu no Kabuto is close - in a cave to the south. The cave can only
be entered by monsters, and this is the tricky part. You can't use your Staff
of Change on the overworld or in the cave, so you must go to the entrance of
the town, use the staff, then go out, and south several screens until you reach
the cave. Press A when facing the hole, and if you're a monster, you can enter.
Random Items in Monster-only Cave: Rib, Gold, Magic Water, Chests with...???
Items in Monster-only Cave: Silver Mantle(chest), Sky Helmet(chest)
Monsters in Monster-only Cave: Evil Shiido, Iguana, Box Slime, Puchi Hero
Go east at the first intersection, then keep going until you reach the
second floor. Keep going until you reach a north-south intersection. Go
southish first until you reach a chest with a Silver Mantle. Go back to the
intersection and take the north route, and keep going through many stairs and
passages, until you reach a Metal Babble guarding a chest.
Metal Babble (はぐれメタル)
HP: 20
Exp: 41577
Skills: Fireball
Sadly, you can't get this rare wonderful monster to join your party. Anyway, it
only has 20 hp, but you can only do 1 damage at a time. Unless you get a
critical hit, it won't die very quickly. Its fireball spell is very weak
though, so it shouldn't be too tough. When you defeat it, it says something at
you, and does the traditional DQ metal running away. You can now open the chest
with a Tenkuu no Kabuto, or Sky Helmet, an event item. Now, go back to the
mountain which had the Hell Condor. Instead of going in, stand 2 steps east
from it, go north a few paces, then press A to create a cloud to fly to the
next island. Go east once and into the tower.
Items in Tower: Tenkuu Armor
Monsters in Tower: Desusoosaa(feathers), Yoroi Mukade(caterpillar), Neji
Makidoritachi(bird with a trumpet-like beak)
Remember, you can make clouds to pass through all these pits. Go north once,
up the stairs. You'll be able to go east or south from here. East is pointless,
so go south. This puzzle is simple, make a cloud to go south, go one step east,
face north and make another. Face west, make another. Go south one step, make
cloud east, south 3 steps, make cloud west, south, make cloud east. The next
room has more pits. Aim yourself toward the tiny platform in the top center,
then go east, east, south, make cloud west, and north to the next room. On the
next floor, go south, then try to get onto the middle ledge leading west, keep
going until you reach the northwest room on this floor. Aim for the closer
platform north, then make two clouds east, one cloud south, two clouds west,
one cloud south. Go up the stairs to the fourth floor. This floor has an even
more complex puzzle. Go east, face north, make cloud, face east, make cloud,
face north, make cloud, face west, make cloud, face south, make cloud, face
east, make cloud, face south, make cloud 2x, face east, make cloud, go north
and down the many stairs. In the chest you will find a Tenkuu no Yoroi, or
Sky Armor. Only one more relic to go! Go to back to the monster only cave,
go east, and get float onto the island far to the east of it. On the eastern
side of this island is a destroyed castle, so you may as well explore it.
Items in Destroyed Kingdom: Sky Sword
Monsters in Destroyed Kingdom: Babble, Evil Spirits, Obake Kareki(dead tree),
Shiryou no Kishi(skeleton warrior), Jigoku no Monban, Manemane(Copycat),
Beruzaburu
This place is actually lots of fun, it's the first area in the game with -
real- puzzles. On the first floor, there is only one intersection. Go north at
that intersection. On the second floor, it's a bit more of a maze. Go north at
the first intersection, west at the second, and keep going until you see a
monster. For some reason, you can completely skip this battle, but if you
battle it, it's a ~200 hp Gaikotsu Kenshi. (skeleton with many arms) It's worth
7899 exp. You can't convince it to join you. Anyway, keep going, and on the
next floor, there's a puzzle. You need to get all the caskets closed, the one
on the top right is open. Here's a small diagram of the room:
A B
A 1 2 B Legend: A-D - Casket
1-4 - Switch
C 3 4 D
C D
Switch one changes caskets A, C, and D, switch two changes caskets B and C,
switch 3 changes caskets C and D, and switch 4 changes caskets B and D. The
casket changes are: closed to open, open to open w/ skeleton, open w/ skeleton
to closed. The solution is to step on switch 2 once, switch 3 twice, switch 4
once. The passage north will open. Now you'll be in a large graveyard. Go west
all the way, then north all the way...talking to skeletons won't start a
battle. Go downstairs, and you'll have to use the directional crosses to get
the ghost into its casket. Here is a diagram of the room:
x x+
x + Legend: x - Stops Ghost
x ! - Ghost's starting position \ - staircase
xx !x C - Cone
x x + - Casket
x xxCCCC < - Face north and press A to make ghost move all west
\ <^v> (^ is north, v is south, > is east)
The solution is to make it go north, then west, then south, then east, then
south, then east, then north, then east, then north, in that order. The ghost
will disappear into its casket, and the door will open. You'll now be in more
tunnels. Go north at the first intersection, kill the optional Gaikotsu Kenshi
along the way if you want to. At the next intersection, take the left southern
route, the right one is a dead end. When you reach the stairs, go up, and
you'll be at another puzzle. You probably won't get this without trying the
"press A against everything" method. The solution is to go to the southeast
section of the graveyard, and inspect the back of the grave that the skeleton's
watching. Answer yes and something will open. Go back to the top-center and the
door will be open. In the final sanctuary is a demon, Naitoricchi. (Night
Lich(or light? probably lich...))
Night Lich (ナイトリッチ)
Found in: Destroyed Castle, Land of Monsters
HP: ~1450
Exp: 19620
Skills: Attacks twice, Double attack, Healmore
If your monsters are well bred like mine, this isn't too difficult. If
not, um...anyway, Dragon Berets are a must for this battle, especially if you
have a Metal Slime, because this boss can attack so many times. I had a level
18 metal slime+4, level 45(max) hooded squid, and a level 39 healer+3. For the
most part I only had to use defense up spells or my healer's metal slime
inherited Nerazooma(BlazeMost) ability. My healer can use HealUsAll, and has
300MP, so that wasn't a problem. Anyway, after the battle, You can get the
Tenkuu no Tsurugi, or Sky Sword, from the chest. You should now have all three
Sky items, if not, read the two previous sections. Now go back to the castle
of Pei.
Back at Pei, stay at the inn, then go to the castle. The left bear guard
will see you have the three items, and will let you pass. Go into the castle,
and get the easy-to-miss Small Medal from the pot. In the next room, talk to
the Dark Horn and he'll say something about the Demon King, then let you pass
to the portal. You'll easily find the castle from here.
Items in Demon King's Castle: Dew of the World Tree(chest), Staff of
Thunder(chest), Hagane no Kiba(chest), Touzoku no Ring
Now would be a good time to use a Branch of Maruta, as this is the last
place in the land, and it's a loooooong walk if you want to return to Maruta.
There are no random encounters, but there are many many minibosses, a pair of
Devil Armors. They only use normal attacks, have ~450 hp, and are worth 9800
exp each. The first one you encounter has nothing behind it, the second pair
has a staircase, and the third pair has a chest with a Dew of the World Tree.
The other monsters in the castle won't attack you. Go down the stairs to the
second floor. South is a staircase, but there is another to the east of that
one. Go down the east staircase first, and get the Touzoku no Ring from the
chest. (after another Demon Armor battle) Then go back up, and go down the west
staircase next. Go down many levels, and get a Staff of Thunder from the chest.
Keep going down and get a Hagane no Kiba from the next chest. You'll notice
that the sky is starting to appear in the pit. On the bottom floor is a really
large demon, who you just may recognize from Dragon Quest 6, but if you vaulted
any of your Tenkuu items(like I did), nothing will happen here. If you have all
three Tenkuu items, he takes them, then attacks you. (any surprise there?)
Demon King Mudo ((まおう)ムドー)
HP: 3000
Exp: 38540
Skills: Dispel?, Firebane, A multi-target attack
This is Demon King Mudo, one of the Maou of DQ6. This isn't exactly the most
epic of Demon King battles, in fact, it's very easy, and Mudo has no second
form. All you need is ~200+ hp, good skills, and HealUs or HealUsAll. Mudo only
attacks once per round, and has three skills that I know of, Firebane(or
snowstorm), One which attacks all allies physically, and some odd white flashy
spell which I -think- cancels all magic effects, making stat up/down spells
useless. All you have to do is attack Mudo with your best skills over and over,
and heal when necessary. It takes awhile, but 3000 hp really isn't that much.
You can't get it to join you, obviously. When it dies, it acts all surprised
like all Demon Kings do, then vanishes (again, with no "true form") unlike most
Demon Kings. ;) Go north and you'll encounter Kameha in the treasure room. (how
-do- these people bypass demon kings anyway??) They chat for a little, Kameha
mentions the Hikari no Orb and the Orb of Strength, then paces a little, and
eventually a very large demon known as Dooku appears. (and finally, a new
musical score plays!) He talks about various things...Maruta, "Korekushon", and
eventually you'll be prompted with a question. You have to say yes. He gives
you the Hazama no Kagi, probably telling you to "come to him if you dare." Then
he disappears, and all the treasure goes with him. (so unfair!) This seems to
be where Kameha and Ruka make up, now that Kameha sees he's been a fool.
Warabou teleports them both back to him, and they talk a little. The ground
shakes, and Kameha gets all freaked and runs east. Now see the latest changes
in Maruta!
=======================================
Section 9 - Maruta Once More
=======================================
New Items in Maruta: Nut of Life*2(Kameha's Room Chest), Bouken Tan(Kameha's
Room Chest), Snow Staff, Magic Beret
There are a few more changes to Maruta. The tide has come in even more than
before, and many paths are thin or waterlogged completely. You can now go up a
rope that connects the farm to the top of the castle tree. There's a new hole
in the tree where you can find an Ice Staff, and Magic Beret. If you talk to
the King, he'll let you enter Kameha's room. Kameha mentions something about
Isekai. The colliseum is blocked off for some reason. (flooded?) There are new
NPCs all over the place as well, but no one seeking to breed their monsters.
Make sure to talk to Warubou again and answer his question. He will give you
restored versions of the following items: Uminari no Kane, Hakai no Kagami, and
Oozora no Tate. (you -must- have three inventory spaces free when you talk to
him, or he won't give you any of these, I made the mistake of running off to
the 10th mystery land before getting these from Warubou) When you're ready, use
the Hazama no Kagi to enter the last area, the Demon World!
=======================================
Section 10 - Demon World
=======================================
Monsters in the Demon World: Mist Wing, Kirisaki Piero(two-bladed monster),
Boss Troll, Great Dragon
This section isn't too long, but the monsters here are pretty powerful. Now
would be a good time to gain levels and do breeding. When you're ready, make
sure you have all three rare items from Warubou in hand, and go to the tower
south of the floating castle. Talk to the monster, answer yes, and you will
hand over the three items. (I have no idea why) The monster will then give them
to another monster, and then it will attack you.
Bosses:
Zushioumaru (ずしおうまる) (funny monster with axe)
HP: ~800
Skills:
Giganto Dragon (ギガントドラゴン)
HP: ~1000
Skills: Firebane?
Wing Assassin (ウイングアサシン)
HP: ~800
Skills: Possibly Surround
Exp: ~42000
This shouldn't be all that hard, at least nothing here can cause critical
hits. Usually I would suggest to "kill the underlings first", but since none of
them can really be considered underlings, that doesn't really apply here. Just
use multi-target spells and attack them one by one, and heal if necessary. When
they fall, it'll disappear and you can pass.
Monsters in Floating Castle: Ugokusekizou(statue), Boss Troll, Kirisaki Piero
It's a short trip, and you can use clouds to make it an even shorter trip.
When you reach Dooku, he will talk a bit about something. (energy?) After his
little chatter, he will attack:
Dooku
HP: ~3800
Exp: 59630
Skills: Dispel?, Confuse, Snowstorm?, BiKill?
This battle could very well hurt, because Dooku likes to cast a spell on
itself which doubles its attack power, but that ability runs out after awhile.
You'll know when you see it hit you for 300 damage, even if you have a metal in
your party. Fortunately it has limited MP, so your best option would be to
bring lots of leaf of the world trees, and use them whenever killed. Defense-
raising spells are pointless until it runs out of MP, because Dooku can easily
take it away. I was lucky enough to have one party member who could live one of
those 300 damage hits, and was able to save that monster with a healall.
Hopefully you will win this, if you don't, you can always try again, or try
more breeding/leveling. After it dies, it says a few things to you (korekutaa?)
and vanishes. You get a plug like the one in the beginning of the game, Warubou
sends you back to him. Congratulations, you can now see the ending! I'm not
going to spoil it for you, but you might notice they spelled "Public Relations"
wrong in the credits. ;) Make sure to save after the credits!
=======================================
Section 11 - Is it really the end?
=======================================
Of course not! When you next load your saved game, there will be a Warubou
icon in your game save file. The following sections will cover everything you
can do after officially winning.
New items in Maruta:
Items in center Merchant's item shop: Elf Water(2000g), Leaf of the
World Tree(1000g), Sirloin(1000g), Mafuuji no Tsue(700g), Friendship
Staff(800g), Holy Staff(1500g), Staff of Thunder(3000g), Momonja's Tail(800g),
Gold Harp(1000g), Gold Padd(20000g)
Here are the following changes to Maruta: The tunnel east of the breeding
place is finally complete, it's just a shortcut to the sleeping monsters. The
middle merchant in the merchant area now sells to you. The Medal Man sells a
Dooku for 10 metals, so buy it if you can. (I never spent any medals before :)
A girl with a teddy bear and Spotted Slime asks to battle your monsters, and
they can probably easily kill you for now. Though when I tried this battle, my
monsters used spells like Defeat and sacrifice to win. She didn't give me
anything, though. The man who is a packrat and the woman who's a neat freak
combined their houses into one, and are living together. The man in the bar who
wanted to breed your monster with his is replaced by a woman in the bar, who
wants to breed her Funky Bird with one of your monsters. It's a pretty good
monster to breed with, so why not? ;) The man in the colliseum wants to breed
his Gaikotsukenshi with one of your monsters. Finally, you can battle Kameha in
his room to get the Elf no Mori no Kagi.(Elven Forest Key) Beat/Defeat works on
monsters in this battle too, so it shouldn't be too hard if you have those
spells. Unfortunately, you can't use follow orders, so your monsters should be
set to tactic #2 to use attack skills and spell up, and tactic #3 to heal.
=======================================
Section 12 - Fairy Land
=======================================
Random items in Fairy Land: Sirloin, Gold, Fairy Water, Friendship Staff,
Kirikiribatta, Dew of the World Tree, All seeds+nuts, Water of Amoru, Rib, Dew
of the World Tree, Full Moon Herb, Elf Water, Angel Bell, Memory Bell,
Laurel, Awake Powder, Snow Staff, Flame Staff
Monsters in Fairy Land: Slappy, Mad Plant, Marichi Eye, Fear Riiratto,
Gurenderu(rhino-like monster with pretty good breeding stats)
The monsters here are notably easier than the ones in the Demon World, but
the exp here is very worthwhile. (2000-6000 exp per battle, same as Demon
World) This is the best place to level up, until you can find something
better , which probably won't be anytime soon. When ready, head to the only
landmark on the map, a town far to the south, Kimi.
Items in Kimi: Magic Water(pot), Small Medal(pot), Intelligence Seed(pot)
Items in Kimi's Item Shop: Medical Herb(15g), Water of Amoru(75g), Dew of the
World Tree(750g), Elf Water(3000g), Antidote Herb(15g), Full Moon
Herb(45g), Laurel(75g), Flame Staff(7500g)
I don't know what anyone is talking about here, but in all the pots that
aren't owned by the merchant, you can find an item. Once you're done talking to
everyone here, go to mountain-like place a bit to the north and slightly to the
west. When you enter, a girl will see you and run to the next room. Follow, and
her big brother will be there with her. Talk to him, then talk to her, say yes.
Then talk to him, and he'll introduce themselves as Koruto(him) and Sharu.(her)
I think Sharu ran away for some reason. Go back to Kimi and talk to the old man
in the northeast house. Koruto and Sharu will appear. When you can move on your
own, talk to her and she'll run away. Go back north to Sharu's little hideaway,
and she'll want to play hide-and-seek with you. When you can move, go north,
and you'll find some monsters hovering over her. Talk to the top arrow dog to
battle them both. After this battle, the Silver Devil will kidnap Sharu.
Arrow Dog
HP: ~500
Exp: 9800
Skills: none
I think it's optional, but it might not be, to go back to Kimi and talk to
Koruto. He'll run off, and you can talk to the old man. When you're done here,
go to a mountain like place to the east of the village. (why did they use the
mountain sprite for forests?)
Random items in Forest Maze: Full Moon Herb, Memory Bell, Medical Herb, Magic
Water
Items in Forest Maze: Dew of the World Tree(chest w/ barriers), Memory
Bell(chest), Nut of Magic(chest)
Monsters in Forest Maze: Gurenderu(rhino-like monster), Hasamikuwagata(stag
beetle), Karyuusou(dragon plant), Hitokuisou
Go all north, then 1 west for the chest, then east, south, east, north, and
north to enter the next section. Go all west, north, get the memory bell, then
north, east twice, south twice to get the Nut of Magic, then north three times,
west, north. You will see the Silver Devil guarding Sharu. If you told Koruto
about his sister being kidnapped, he'll be there, trying to fight the Silver
Devil. (and failing miserably) I don't know what happens if you don't talk to
him after the kidnapping. Talk to it and it will fight you, of course.
Silver Devil (シルバーデビル)
HP: ~1400
Exp: 26890
Skills: Counters some attacks, ~70 damage all target skill
It isn't very hard, it's easier than Dooku. Just use defense-up spells a few
times, then use all your skills and heal when necessary. When it dies, it
mentions something like "Ore"sama and vanishes. I've seen the katakanized "ore"
throughout the entire game, and I still don't know what it means, but this is
the first time I've seen the suffix "sama" used after it. hmm... Anyway, Koruto
will talk to his sister, then you'll all end up at Kimi again. You saved the
day, and it more or less ends here. You have to walk back to Maruta this time.
========================
Mystery Lands
========================
Some notes about mystery lands: Mystery lands are randomly generated lands
which exist mainly for finding monsters you couldn't otherwise, and getting
just about any accessory in the game. As of now, I still haven't reached a
limit in the number of Mystery Land keys I can carry, but I believe the page
limit for keys is 9 or 10. (complete assumption though) If you find yourself at
the limit, and don't need a key to a certain land, select it in your key list
then select the section option to drop it. Keep in mind that this key will be
gone forever, so don't do it unless you've looted everything.
As far as I know, only dungeon interiors and towns are randomized, but there
may be more than that. If any of the information below is wrong, please don't
hesitate to email me at
[email protected] so I can finally solve the mystery
of these mystery lands. Thanks again.
Another common note: All mystery lands are completely unmapped when you
enter them. You have to map them yourself. Monsters will not join your party
until you kill their bosses in the local shrines, or killing the main castle
bosses will free up all the monsters for joining you. Finally, there are
various trainers walking around who will battle you for various items. You can
get the following from each type of trainer:
Warrior(Male or Female): Wing of the Wyvern
Cleric: Free Heal(higher level clerics may require battle)
Merchant: Sells one random item, or may be a battle** with no prize
Red Guard: Wing of the Wyvern or Mystery Key
Bard: Raises a random stat of all your monsters by 20
Executioner?: Give him 1000 gold to fully heal your party.
**Only Merchant Battle I've seen: Baby Satan, Boss Troll, Odoruhouseki
None of those monsters can join your party.

*Notes on metal slime: (not very easy at first, it is NOT your typical metal
slime, it can attack twice, can cast Healmore, and has some strange spell which
seriously altered my menu. (like it would say Lv!33 for my healer, and the Item
menu became -ro-, and Tactics became hi teta? I ultimately only survived that
battle with my squid and 13k exp, but the oddity went away after the battle.
2-3 sirloins should convince it to join you.)
Various Possible Item Shops:
Random Shop 1: Medical Herb(15g), Water of Amoru(75g), Magical
Water(300g), Antidote Herb(15g), Rib(300g), Fairy Water(300g), Staff of

on the bottom/top. Those chests can contain any seed/nut, a Small Medal,
a Leaf of the World Tree, an Elf Water, or a Memory Bell.
======================OPTIONAL LAND 1=======================
======SKIP IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE FUTSUU NO TOU NO KAGI======

Prize in Dungeon#2 - Tower: Souryo no Ring(top chest)
Castle Boss:
Lizard Fury*2 (リザドーフライ)
HP: ~100
Exp: (unknown, only appears with group that gives near 5000 exp at the end)

Ganko Dori (ガンコどり) (an overweight, angry, duck monster with tiny wings)
HP: ~400 (has high defense)
Exp: (unknown, only appears with group that gives near 5000 exp at the end)
Skills: One that attacks the whole party, one to lower party's defense
Notes: I used a level 19 starter slime, level 22 squid, and
level 19 healer. (I don't customize much, ok? lol) The battle is with a Ganko
Dori, and two Lizard Furies. First, you need to get rid of the two Lizard
Furies. The slime's Gira (Fireball in DQM1) ability wasn't all that useful for
this, but its normal attacks do well. The squid's Nakama o Yobu ability is
great for this battle, as it can hit up to four times, and hit the Lizard
Furies for ~40 damage per hit. The healer, well, heals. Though I recommend
casting Sukuruto the first round, since you can't really predict who will be
damaged yet. Just hope that your healer isn't killed, because you need to use
tactics to control the party every round. You may also need to use a Leaf of
the World Tree for this battle. If you just can't win this battle yet, try
again after Ice Land.

Notes: Unless you have high level monsters which are strong to
magic or fire spells, this battle is totally luck-based. Try to kill the two
Baby Satans, and if you survive, use defense up spells and defeat the
surprisingly easy Gappurin. (though I think it has an all target ability too,
it misses quite often) If you fail, reset and try again.

Notes: This battle isn't nearly as difficult as the one in Optional Land 3,
but it can be a pain because the Fiery Dragons cast surround. Fortunately
though, they all only use physical attacks otherwise, so use defense raising
spells until the turtle does near 0 damage. After the Fiery Dragons fall, a
Full Moon Herb would be nice to shake the surround spell, but it isn't
necessary if you use attacks that aren't hindered by Surround. (and you should
be) The Hooded Squid's third attack is very useful here, but it's very
unreliable. Eventually they should fall, and you can now convince all monsters
to join you in this land.

Notes:Even 10 levels behind, my mimic is more powerful than slash in every way,
except HP/MP. This is a very easy battle too, since the only attacks they use
are physical. Just use a defense raising spell repeatedly, and you should have
no trouble. The lamp does sometimes cast Upper on itself, but it only prolongs
its inevitable death. ;) As usual, kill the two Pixies first, then focus on the
lamp.

Skills: Possibly none, it died too fast to tell
Notes: This is absolutely, positively, the most -pathetic- excuse for a boss
battle in the history of Dragon Quest games! Not only do they all have pitiful
defense, and pitiful HP, the Drakees are weak to my mimic's fire spell. My
Hooded Squid used its third ability quite effectively, and I had my healer use
physical attacks when I realized that Increase was unnecessary, lol. After
suffering the terrible loss of about 50 hp overall, my party was successful.
And this battle is worth 3196exp for a 3-party group, wow! This would make a
great random encounter outside, I need levels! In all seriousness, if you lose
this battle at this point, you would have to be the most horrible player in the
world.

Notes: For some reason, my squid's third ability was extremely
useful in this battle. I won it in three rounds, so I can't give much
information on the monsters. (except for HP, and one skill I saw) I can tell
that these are physical attack monsters, so defense raising spells help greatly
in this battle. Eventually, or easily, you should win, and the monsters can now
join your party.
