Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation/Weaver's Peak



Look at all those beautiful items marked in white boxes! Be sure you get all of these at some point before moving on!

Anyway, go inside the northeast house to talk to Mayor Spindell. He will give a bag of his village's goods and tell you to sell them at the southern town of Haggleton; that way they can pay for the festival they're holding tonight!

The next step, then, is to exit the village to do as the mayor says. But, there are some rather dangerous enemies you can encounter called "Ornery Onions" along the way; these guys are strong enough to easily kill you if three of them fight you at once. You'll want to buy a Leather Shield from the Weapons and Armour shop (marked "D") and 2x Herbs from the Items shop (slightly up from the "E") before you go.

Mountain Pass


It is worth noting that all of the non-boss enemies in the DS version are weaker than their SNES versions, and give out 20% more EXP and Gold. All of the regular enemies in the DS version have had their HP reduced to 80% of their original amount in the DS version. However, none of their other stats have been altered, and the Bosses are exactly the same as they were in the SNES version. For this reason, enemies in the SNES version are usually more annoying than they are harder.

But you are still a lowly Level 1 Hero right now. You can kill the DS enemies here in one hit, but not the SNES enemies; in other words, the SNES enemies will wear you down much faster than in the DS version, so be careful to keep your HP above 7 (the strongest enemy formation here, the "1x Batatouille & 3x Mottled Slimes", are capable of doing that in a single round, even with the Wayfarer's Clothes + Leather Hat & Shield + Seed of Resilience).

With that said, it is recommended that you snag the Wayfarer's Clothes before you get any of the others. Skip it, and you will take even more Damage from the Batatouille's here. After getting that, get the 20 Gold, fall off the cliff to I, and skip the Inn as you exit. The Inn costs 10G to use, while a Medical Herb costs 8G.

Path to Haggleton
Important Note: Always have full HP as you walk out! The Ornery Onion monsters hit for upwards to 6 Damage even with optimal defensive gear! What's more, you can encounter up to three of them at one. Fortunately, they always have a ~17% chance of using an Herb instead of attacking. In addition, choosing the Run makes it so that sometimes, only one or two of them will attack, even when there are three of them. Finally, the Run command is more and more likely to succeed the more you use it, to the point where you're just about guaranteed to run on the third attempt. So as long as you're at 31 HP, you should be almost guaranteed to Run successfully.

Alternatively, you could also grind to Level 3 before walking onto the World Map. That will give you enough HP to reliably kill even 3x Ornery Onions at once. This is not necessary however; we will be getting far stronger defensive equipment at Haggleton.



Speaking of the outdoors, there is another difference between the SNES and the re-releases is that you have automatic access to the World Map in the re-releases. Press X, and you will have a zoomed in view of the world, allowing you to easily find Haggleton. SNES players are not so lucky; they have to buy an expensive map at Haggleton in order to have the same luxury. This guide, therefore, will provide maps for each overworld segment to accomodate them.
