Let's Play Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D! Part 16 - A message from Dad
1We start today's episode with sailing to a location that contains a monster to recruit west of Hauksness. This is a short detour before we hit the road south across the closer bridge, which takes us on the northern desert path that connects us to the remote town of Rimuldar. Here we find several things, including a guy that wants to study our Magic Key and a chest that contains a Recovery Ring and a note from Ortega.
Having reached Rimuldar, we warp to the town to move our boat closer and sail south to an island that contains a shrine dedicated to The Rainbow, as well as a Red Slime to recruit. After this we sail north to a cave at the end of a long stretch of swamp where some of Kandar's henchmen are working to help tunnel it out. They tell us about the blue rock at Gaia's Navel and how to get it out, so that's available to us now.
We go further north on this continent to find the village of Kol, which we heard about already previously. Lots to see here, including a hidden treasure south of the bath, and a smith that apparently came here from Jipang with his wife whom was running from being sacrificed to Orochi. The smith laments having left his hammer behind, so we warp back to Jipang and retrieve it, and after giving it back to him, he takes the broken sword and the ore that we fished out of the horse crap and uses it to reforge the Sword of Kings! In addition to being fairly powerful, this weapon can also be used as an item in battle!
Having done this, we follow up on the hints we were given regarding the blue ore and Dad's helmet. First we geta bomb from Reeve, then we head to Gaia's Navel and set up us the bomb. That gets us Zenithium, which is in the wrong game but what can we do about that? After getting it, we go see the dwarf that met Dad and he helps reforge the old helmet, making it anew as the Auroral Helmet!
