Dragon Warrior III/Sky World: Difference between revisions

After you defeat Zoma in his Castle and escape to the Cave north of Ludatorm, exit the Cave and you will hear a rumble which tells you the hole to the World above closed: now you can only cast Return to the five towns in Alefgard. Not only this: with the death of Zoma the light returned to the dark Alefgard. Return to Ludatorm and get hailed as a hero there. Talk with the King and he will tell you what you already knew: The Hole to the World above has closed and the light has returned thanks to Zoma's Death. Then he gives you the title of the hero, Loto (Erdrick in the NES). The credits will then roll over the screen until the text "To be continued in Dragon Quest I-II" appears.

In the Bonus Dungeon new monsters never seen before will appears along with some known monsters. {{~|Enemies#Dark Troll|Dark Troll}}, {{~|Enemies#Evil Crab|Evil Crab}}, {{~|Enemies#Ramia|Ramia}}, {{~|Enemies#Gate Guard|Gate Guard}}, {{~|Enemies#DemonSword|DemonSword}}, {{~|Enemies#Baramevil|Baramevil}}, {{~|Enemies#Metal Wyvern|Mtl Wyvern}}, {{~|Enemies#Devil Wiz|Devil Wiz}} are new monsters. {{~|Enemies#Baramevil|Baramevil}} is the only one who drops a Mystic Nut, but if you want to hoard seeds and maximize your attributes, then you'd be better off going for Wisdom Seeds instead. {{~|Enemies#King Hydra|King Hydra}} is also a common Monster in this dungeon.

Anyway, go north then west for a chest which contains a '''{{~|Enemies#Mimic|Mimic}}'''. You may as well ignore it and go east until you find a path going north. There is another chest with a '''[[File:Dragon Warrior 3 GBC Seed.png]] STRseed / [[File:Dragon Warrior 3 SNES Seed.png]] Strength Seed''' inside. Grab it then go east, north and then west all the way. The chest at the dead end contains a '''[[File:Dragon Warrior 3 GBC Staff.png]] Bounce [[File:DW3 staff.png]] / [[File:Dragon Warrior 3 SNES Staff.png]] Staff of Reflection'''. Now go east to the stairs to the next level.

You will pop up in an arena. You've only been outside of the battle arenas to bet on monsters, but now you're battling a monster in the arena yourself. The audience outside the arena tells you good luck while the monster, a {{~|Enemies#Baramevil|Baramevil}}, asks you, why you so weak are. You can battle him if you want, or ignore and walk around him and continue on. There is a '''[[File:Dragon Warrior 3 GBC Token.png]] Token / [[File:Dragon Warrior 3 SNES Pachisi Ticket.png]] Pachisi Ticket''' hidden in the ground near the monster. After the monster, there is a small and monster-free floor from the lighthouse. Going down the stairs brings you finally to Zenithia.

Walk through the room and go upstairs. On the second floor you have to walk over the ropes twice to reach the exit, so beware not to fall down or you have to do it all over again.  

Now go north to get '''[[File:Dragon Warrior 3 GBC Shoes.png]] LUCKShoes / [[File:Dragon Warrior 3 SNES Sack.png]] Lucky Shoes''' from the chest. Go back south and outside. In the chest outside is the strongest weapon, a '''[[File:Dragon Warrior 3 GBC Wreck Whip.png]] Wreck [[File:DW3 whip.png]] / [[File:Dragon Warrior 3 SNES Whip.png]] Wrecking Flail''', that can attack every enemy too. Go back inside and go north to the stairs.  

 

=== God Dragon/Divinegon ===

|contents=Beginners should be on Level 65 or higher and also have good equipment; if you chose your class changes [[../Parties#A Different Approach|wisely]], it is possible to beat Divinegon at around Level 40. The problem on this boss is the time: to get a Wish fulfilled you need to beat him in '''35 rounds'''.  

He has many devasting spells like Explodet that hits your party for over 100 HP damage. Not only that: he can also put your characters to sleep and can remove any buff just like Zoma. He has over 7,000 health points, so get prepared for a long battle and support up your party with Bikill, Barrier, Increase, etc. Lightning and Blazemost will hurt the dragon pretty bad for 200 HP damage each time. Don't forget to heal with two Sage's Stones or with HealUsAll. Note that it's probably better to equip your party with armor and/or shields that reduce breath damage and/or reduce magic damage. The light dress is a great option, but there are many others as well. In this fight it can be better to opt for slightly lower defense in order to have these improved resistances.

For defeating him you will receive 50,000 exp and sometimes he drops a Strength Seed. If you defeat him under the time limit, then he will grant you a wish, but only one. So choose wisely which one you want:

# Pachisi Track

The Naughty Book changes your Personality to Lewd (Man)/Sexy (Woman). Reviving your Father brings your Father back to life and he will be in Aliahan by the Side of your Mother. Other than that nothing special happens. The best thing is obviously the Pachisi Track which will now be in the Well in Zipangu with many good things to grab.  

# Ice Cave, the second bonus dungeon

If you want a second Wish granted, then return to him again and beat him in under '''25 rounds'''! If you also want to get the third and further Wishes, then you need to win the battle in under '''15 rounds''', which is incredibly hard, but [[../Parties#A Different Approach|feasible]].

Here are a few tips for beating him in 15 rounds:

* Try using HealUsAll to improve your per-turn healing efficiency. This allows sages or pilgrims to cast other spells like BlazeMost. Often it can be better to risk not healing right away, and let HealUsAll pick up the slack later, because it does everything all in one go. Whereas HealUs or sage's stones aren't very efficient due to the much lower hp per character per turn that they offer.

* If you're using a warrior, turn it into a fighter instead at the Shrine of Dhama, and level it back up. The fighter has a much higher chance for critical strikes, approximately equal to its level divided by 256. For example a level 50 fighter has about a 20% chance of critical, or about one in five hits, whereas all other character classes have a flat one in sixty-four chance. Don't equip the fighter with the wreck whip for this battle because anyone using a whip will not perform critical hits. The beast claw works great, and it's possible that the dragon claw is even slightly better due to the bonus damage against dragons. Put the wreck whip on your hero instead.

* Keeping your fighter in a Bikill/TwinHits state is more useful than also keeping your hero in that state, because the fighter will be attacking every single round, whereas the hero will sometimes be casting HealUsAll or Thordain. If Divinegon is being particularly wicked with many spell-negating pulses, it can be better to give up on casting Bikill on the hero, and instead spend the turns casting BlazeMost.
