Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation/Greedmore Valley

Greedmore Mine


This is another fairly easy, short dungeon; though it does have the Scytheborg. They have a 33.33% chance of using Frenzy, which can deal a critical hit to either you, themselves, or one of their allies. There isn't anything you can do to disable them, since they have high resistance to all status immunities; but that's alright. They only have 218-270 HP, so you should be able to kill them before they accomplish anything.

Bomboulders also make a return here, being the rock creatures who can revive their party with Kerplunk. But, at this point, they're easily dealt with via AoE attacks and a Knuckle Punch from Carver; they're not particularly challenging either.

In any case, get whatever you need from this place. If you're playing the SNES, the Seed of Strength is the only reward awaiting you. On the remakes, you can get a Seed of Life from the Mimic. However, Gainmore's Message is worthless in both versions.

Greedmore Forest


The vignette in this forest is rather interesting. To begin with, you have to answer Yes to the leftmost NPC, who asks if you'd be willing to sell your soul to get the sage's treasure. This causes everyone at the lake to start fighting each other.

If you take the short way, everyone will massacre each other, and you will be made to fight a person named Averill. But aside from posessing an unusually high amount of HP, he is hopelessly outclassed. He has less than half of Dhuran's Attack, he only strikes once per round, he's vulnerable to Stun, Fuddle, Dazzle, Sap, Poison, and Knuckle Sandwich. The only semi-threatening attacks he has are Double Up and Body Slam; but he's too weak to really capitalize on them. Get Oomph on Carver, Sap away Averill's defense, and one Focus Strength + Knuckle Sandwich will be all that's needed.

However, the game will then rewind back to the start, before the lake ever got drained. So take the long way around this time, and the townsfolk will all leave. But if you check the chest multiple times, you will find a secret passage! We want to have our next destination on our Zoom list before going back to Greedmore Valley, so take those stairs!
