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



Look at all those beautiful items! Rex is poor right now, so you'll want to grab every one of them. And be sure to buy a Leather Shield from the Weapons and Armour shop at point D, and 2x Herbs from the Items shop (slightly up from point E). The added Resilience will be a tremendous boon in this stage of the game.

However, you cannot do that till you talk to Mayor Spindell inside the northeast house. 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! So buy your gear, get all of the items in the village, and do as the mayor says.

Mountain Pass


All non-boss enemies in the DS version give out 20% more EXP and Gold than they did in the original SNES version, and have had their HP reduced to 80% of their original amount. None of their other stats have been altered, however; and the bosses have not their HP changed in any way. So aside from some hairy moments in the early-game, and aside from the vastly inferior party A.I., the SNES version isn't usually harder so much as it's just more time consuming.

But, SNES players will still take slightly more damage. You can kill the DS enemies here in one hit, but not the SNES enemies; so be careful to keep your HP above 8, even after you've gotten the Wayfarer's Clothes. On that note, snag the Wayfarer's Clothes right away, get the 20 Gold, take the dirt slide to point I, and skip the Inn as you exit. The Inn costs 10G to use, while Medical Herbs cost 8G.

Path to Haggleton


Always have full HP here! The Ornery Onions hit for upwards to 6 Damage, even with the highest possible Resilience! 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. For those playing the SNES version, choosing Run will sometimes make it so that one or two of them will do nothing. Finally, the Run command is guaranteed to work once you use it three times in a row. So as long as you're at 31 HP, you should be able to Run successfully.

You could also grind to Level 3 before this area. That will give you enough HP to reliably kill even 3x Ornery Onions at once. This is not necessary however, for we will get better armor at Haggleton.

Now, if you are playing the remakes, you can get a zoomed in view of the world map by pressing X. 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.
