THIS GUIDE CONTAINS SPOILERS!!
===============================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I. INTRODUCTION [ssr1]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The focus of this guide is to help those interested in a solo speed run
challenge for Dragon Quest IX. It assumes the reader has finished the game at
least once and knows how to progress through the story. It is the culmination
of notes taken and planning done before attempting the challenge along with
experience from the actual challenge.
I decided to try out a speed run after finishing the game for the first time
solo, then finishing a second time solo getting Light-Speed Champion in 11
hours and 31 minutes. I knew I could finish faster, so I checked out a few
guides and took down notes which I used with my previous solo game experience
for a solo speed run challenge. The result is the below completion video link.
== http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O72nMp8lVSE
My final time was 7 hours and 55 minutes, better than I expected I would fare.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. CHALLENGE RULES [ssr2]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are four simple rules to follow, the first two being mandatory.
= Don't speak to Patty in Stornway.
= Multiplayer is not allowed.
= Alchemy is not recommended.
= DQVC is not recommended.
As shown in the video, the initial dialogue Patty speaks when a party member is
first summoned is the only way to prove a solo completion. This lasts from the
start of the game until the post-game reunion with Stella.
The multiplayer rule should be obvious. The entire point of the challenge is to
feel pressured to progress as fast as possible. Gaining levels and items in
multi to come back and steamroll the game defeats the purpose of the challenge.
Alchemy and DQVC are mixed bags. Getting materials to make efficient use of
alchemy will consume time better spent leveling a second class like the Warrior
for the passive Courage benefits. DQVC is guaranteed time lost because of the
forced save when a new list is downloaded. It may be possible to plan out using
certain alchemy recipes or get lucky with DQVC on select theme weeks, but know
the risks and potential time loss possible before attempting either option.
I finished the speed run without using alchemy or DQVC, and not dealing with
them saved me a lot more time in the long run.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
III. PLANNING [ssr3]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These are some of the conclusions I came to while discovering different ways to
reduce final completion time even further. Remember that there are countless
ways to complete this challenge, so don't be afraid to go outside the box and
experiment with other methods.
===============================================
/ A. Solo Test Run [ssr3a] /
===============================================
If you have already finished the game solo at least once, skip this section.
A solo game flows differently from a normal game, so a test run is recomended
to understand the differences. As the main target of all attacks, it's easier
to control and turn aside incoming damage. A block, dodge, or counterattack
means a wasted turn for a boss. Learning to control the flow of battle through
the use of a select few abilities is the key to this challenge.
===============================================
/ B. Gender Selection [ssr3b] /
===============================================
A female character should be used for one simple reason. Inside a chest in the
Realm of the Mighty is the female-only Spellward Circlet, a HUGE upgrade from
whatever was equipped before. It provides an excellent defense boost as well as
a boost to magical mending, a nice bonus against the last few bosses.
===============================================
/ C. The Minstrel [ssr3c] /
===============================================
The Minstrel will be the class to use for this challenge. You begin the game as
one, and it is the only class that can both equip heavy armor and use a
semi-decent boostable heal in Midheal. This means not having to waste time
unlocking classes such as the Ranger or Sage, saving lots of time.
What makes a Minstrel amazing and sets the class apart from the other available
classes for the challenge is Rough n' Tumble, the class coup de gr�ce. When
activated you will either dodge or counterattack most normal attacks. Paired
with Magic Mirror a solo character is nigh invincible for the remainder of the
coup de gr�ce with breath attacks the only kind that can get through. Tactical
use can turn the tide in or speed up most fights, so use it wisely.
===============================================
/ D. Evac-u-Zoom [ssr3d] /
===============================================
Until you learn Evac and Zoom, keep bells and wings around at ALL times. Take
advantage of opportunities to save time leaving dungeons and returning to
towns. There are also times when using Zoom (or a wing) to leave a town is
faster than running all the way out, so keep these times in mind as well.
An example would be when you first encounter the blockade between Angel Falls
and Stornway with Ivor. Purchase two Chimaera Wings on the way out, and instead
of running back on foot toss a wing to immediately return to Angel Falls and
continue the story. You'll be using the other one once you have rescued Patty
from the Hexagon and need to return to Angel Falls fast.
===============================================
/ E. Gearing Up [ssr3e] /
===============================================
Throughout the game treasure chests will contain many upgrades, and shopping
will be used only to fill in the gaps that chest gear leaves behind. Notable
finds and drops include:
- Feather Fan Chests: Hexagon
- Leather Shield Chests: Hexagon
- Scale Armor Chests: Hexagon (Stornway Entrance)
- Iron Gaunlets Drop: Wight Knight
- Trailblazing Bandana Chests: Brigadoom
- High Heels Drop: Morag
- Feather Headband Drop: Talk to Coffinwell Mayor
- Iron Kneecaps Chests: Twyll Cave
- Cautery Sword Chests: Stornway (Thief Key)
- Magic Shield Chests: The Plumbed Depths
- Red Tights Chests: Swinedimples (Magic Key)
- Spiked Armor Chests: Coffinwell (Magic Key)
- Sober Ring Chests: Gerzuun
- Slime Crown Chests: Gerzuun
- Light Gauntlets Chests: The Bowhole
- Safety Shoes Chests: The Magmaroo
- Goddess Ring Chests: Observatory (Ultimate Key)
- Falcon Sword Chests: Ship's Hull
- Dark Shield Chests: Gittingham Palace
- Mirror Armor Chests: Realm of the Mighty
- Ruby of Protection Chests: Realm of the Mighty
- Spellward Circlet Chests: Realm of the Mighty
Get what time permits and sell everything else, including alchemy materials and
any otherwise valuable drops. Those can be replaced post-game if needed. Save
all Magic Waters and Sage's Elixirs that you come across for the final dungeon.
Never use gold for ANYTHING unless the upgrade is significant. Weapons take
priority until the Falcon Blade, as more power equates to faster battles. Metal
farming out levels in Quarantomb, Bad Cave, and Bowhole should give enough base
defense to warrant skipping out on most armor purchases. Plan ahead.
Gold later in the game will come from Mythril Ore nodes at Mt. Ulzuun, selling
for 3,000 each with up to four nodes possible. Once Bloomingdale and the Bad
Cave are over with, tag Gleeba then Batsureg and save the game in Batsureg.
Grab nodes if there, reload the game otherwise. You can then safely zoom to
your last destination and continue the game as if you were leaving the town.
This is best done each time the game is saved so you can reload as needed since
they won't always be there.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IV. MINI-WALKTHROUGH [ssr4]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is an abbreviated walkthrough to help with skill point allocation and the
more troublesome bosses as you progress. If there's something I don't cover, it
means that you should have no problem with those bosses or areas if you have
kept up with metal farming and skill points.
===============================================
/ A. Getting Started [ssr4a] /
===============================================
Pick up the Keepsake Ring first to save time. Progress through the first area
and the Hexagon, getting the Leather Shield and Feather Fan as you go. The
first boss is simple, but don't fight him until you have the Heal spell at the
very least. Around this time you should be getting your first skill points.
The first 13 points should be placed into Swords for Metal Slash. This is
important, because it saves a ridiculous amount of time with metal farming
throughout the game. Whips are useless for this, and the first and only time a
fan should be equipped is in the first dungeon as a free and quick upgrade.
Until noted otherwise, all points following the first 13 should be placed into
Shields to pick up as many defensive abilities as possible. You should have
Magic Mirror before Ragin' Contagion, and Back Atcha before The Dreadmaster.
===============================================
/ B. Wight Knight and Morag [ssr4b] /
===============================================
Purchase a Rapier in Stornway while progressing the story, then go straight to
Zere to earn fast exp and gold. You may elect to save the game now instead of
after the farm, as monsters outside Zere are a bit stronger than the ones
outside Stornway. The Zere Inn will be your home for a while, it is more
convenient and faster (less dialogue) than the Stornway Inn. Sleep before
taking on each boss and before departing for Coffinwell.
Continue until you have enough to replace the remainder of your starting gear
with armor from Zere, then save the game if you didn't before directly across
at the church. Head out to fight the Wight Knight.
The main problem with the Wight Knight at low levels is defense, as his
Multithrust will hit four times for lots of damage. Having the armor from Zere
will mitigate a lot of incoming damage, but the battle is still a matter of
getting lucky with him not spamming Heal or Multithrust too much.
Morag in Brigadoom is much the same, as paralysis can make quick work of you.
It make take a few attempts to win this battle, so be sure to save in Zere
before going to Brigadoom.
===============================================
/ C. Ragin' Contagion [ssr4c] /
===============================================
Required Skill: Magic Mirror
Save in Coffinwell before leaving for Quarantomb in the event that metal
farming ends up being too slow or you have too many runners. Continue farming
them until you have enough points to put into Shields to pick up Magic Mirror,
then go straight to the boss.
Ragin' Contagion can attack twice each turn and loves to spam either Kasap or
Deceleratle. This should spell doom for a solo character, but not this time.
Throw up your newly acquired Magic Mirror to open the battle and watch in
delight as the boss starts wasting turns nailing itself with debuffs, making it
all the more easy to give it a quick thrashing if they land.
This will be the first of many bosses made easy by using Magic Mirror to open
the battle, which should be done for any boss that has offensive casting
abilities. Some will be morons and use spells that will end up bounced, while
others will stick to using normal attacks instead of spells.
===============================================
/ D. Alltrades to Swinedimples [ssr4d] /
===============================================
The Porth Llaffan Inn will be the fastest Inn you can use for now. When you
land near Alltrades coming from the Observatory walk into and out of Alltrades
then head straight south to Porth Llaffan to tag it in case you need to rest.
Once across the channel with the ferry, the Slurry Quay Inn will be the Inn you
use for the remainder of the game. It has an Inn and Church NPC right next to
each other for quick sleep/save access, and makes for a great post-game HQ.
Save in Bloomingdale before Bad Cave, and farm metals until you have enough
points to pick up Back Atcha. Once you have that, start putting points into
Swords for more of the bonuses. Those points and levels will help quicken the
pace for the next few dungeons and bosses.
The recommended order for the next three dungeons is as follows: Gleeba,
Batsureg, and Swinedimples. If you want to establish a foothold in Batsureg
before starting Gleeba, now is the time to do it. Read the last part of the
"Gearing Up" section for more details.
Don't forget to get the Magic Key in the secret room atop the Mirage Mahal. Use
it to open the locked door inside Swinedimples to pick up the Red Tights, which
should be a decent upgrade. Our next problem lies inside the Old School.
===============================================
/ E. The Dreadmaster [ssr4e] /
===============================================
Required Skill: Back Atcha
Dreadmaster is the last boss before having access to the Bowhole and thus
liquid metal slimes, so your defense will likely be a little low. While using
Magic Mirror will shut down his offensive spells, it will shift him into
spamming Double Trouble. A two-hit smackdown clone of the Falcon Slash, Double
Trouble can and will make quick work of a low defense solo hero unless you
bring something to counter it. That something, is Back Atcha.
Use Magic Mirror at the beginning of the battle, and it should catch a Crackle
or Zammle before he goes into spam mode. Do as much damage as you can until you
get low, healing when necessary. When you see him Psych Up to 20 and beyond,
bring out Back Atcha until his tension is gone and you can safely attack again.
Don't forget to reapply Magic Mirror as much as needed to catch any spells that
he decides to throw out.
Once he goes down, grab the 30 Shields quest inside Swinedimples. It should
complete itself over time as you progress through the game, so no need to stop
and complete it. If it finishes early, hang onto it until a little later so you
don't waste time turning it without being able to pick up the next quest.
===============================================
/ F. Bowhole to Gittingham [ssr4f] /
===============================================
Save before exiting Wormwood when heading to the Bowhole and hope for a quick
metal run the first time through. With no Falcon Sword, all you can hope for is
that the liquid metals stick around long enough for Metal Slash to work. Level
50 is what to shoot for here as skill point gain begins to slow to a crawl. You
should have no trouble with bosses leading up to Gittingham Palace.
Purchase a Fire Sword while in Upover the first time if you have the funds. It
will be the last weapon you have to purchase and the boost will help a lot.
Save before taking on Goreham-Hogg as a lucky crit could end things fast.
Upon returning to the Observatory after getting the Ultimate Key, there are two
chests behind a locked door that will no longer be accessible once the main
story is done. These contain a Goddess Ring and Orichalcum and are on the
immediate right of Apus Major. Both require around 10 seconds to get.
Back on the ground, claim the Falcon Sword from the hull of your ship then head
to the secret shop in Dourbridge and buy a pair of Sturdy Slacks.
When using Back Atcha, be sure to switch to the last sword you had before the
Falcon Sword in combat (misc ==> equipment) for the additional damage it'll
provide. A counterattack with the Falcon Sword will only hit once, so having a
higher damage weapon will increase counterattack damage.
Read the next few sub-sections before entering Gittingham Palace.
===============================================
/ G. Goresby-Purrvis? [ssr4g] /
===============================================
Ah, the main target of frustration. This is where our beloved Minstrel class
starts to break down and becomes easy prey for bosses.
Purrvis has three avenues of terrible pain. Upward Slice will stun you for one
or two turns, and he loves to spam it. Multislash can hit up to four times, and
will have no problem going right through Back Atcha. He also has a critical hit
move that will finish you unless fully healed. Not good at all.
You CAN get lucky and win, but it still leaves you defenseless later on. A
death here also means having to fight Hootingham all over again as well. Time
to approach this from a different angle.
===============================================
/ H. The Road to Courage [ssr4h] /
===============================================
The best way to counter weaknesses the Minstrel class now shows is to level a
Warrior for the passive Courage bonuses and extra skill points. Zoom over to
Bloomingdale and purchase 20 Superior Medicines from the convenient item shop
near the entrance, then switch to the Warrior class. Save at Alltrades and move
to Wormwood killing one pack enroute to the Bowhole for some buffer levels.
With the Falcon Sword, Metal Slash now hits twice making things much faster
than the first time you were here. If you get low on health, use Superior
Medicines to heal up and continue farming.
Place 90 points in Courage to begin with, which grants you +40 Strength, +60
Resilience, and +60 Max HP altogether. Use a few more points to bring Shields
to 100, and then the rest can be used in a number of different ways. Make sure
to stop leveling when you've enough skill points to take the spec you want.
You can max out Courage to pick up Attack Attacker and take the chance using it
with the Falcon Sword and/or use the points to pick up the additional passive
bonuses for Swords. Choose one or the other (or both if you get the points) and
that finishes skill point allocation for the remainder of the game. Before
taking on Hootingham and Purrvis again, there's one last thing to do.
Switch back to Minstrel and save the game on the way out of Alltrades. Go back
to Swinedimples to turn in the 30 Shields quest, getting the 100 Shields quest
in its stead.
Head to Gittingham Palace now and destroy Hootingham on the way in with Magic
Mirror. Proceed forward until the room with the healing light, and Killing
Machines needed for the quest will spawn in tandem making it easy to finish the
quest. If they don't spawn immediately, move up and back down the stairs to
reset the spawns. Heal up when finished then go up the stairs and out the door
to the right to warp out. Turn in the quest and put the scroll in your
inventory to officially become immune to all critical hits. Save in
Swinedimples, and return to Gittingham to take on Purrvis.
Note: Finishing specs should either be 76 Swords, 100 Shields, and 90 Courage
OR 66-72 Swords, 100 Shields, and 100 Courage unless you had enough points for
both. This will vary a little based on Minstrel and Warrior levels. I used 76
Swords, 100 Shields, and 90 Courage and was not disappointed with it.
===============================================
/ I. Goresby-Purrvis [ssr4i] /
===============================================
Get the Dark Shield from the chest enroute to Purrvis if you missed it.
Now then, time to smack this ferocious feline in the face. No longer reliant on
luck, this fight becomes so much easier. Multislash hits for way less, and the
critical hit is blocked every single time resulting in a wasted turn. A LOT of
cheap Upward Slice spam is now the only way you can lose this fight. Take him
down, and move on.
===============================================
/ J. King Godwyn [ssr4j] /
===============================================
Neither form will be dangerous as long as a Magic Mirror is active at all
times. Back Atcha will not repel orb attacks, so heal through those. In both
forms, he'll waste turns casting Kafrizz on himself while you pummel him and
heal as needed. The second form can sometimes spam Disruptive Wave, which can
get annoying. Continue refreshing Magic Mirror and it'll end soon enough.
Quickly progress through the Oubilette, and save the game in the Observatory
before heading to the Realm of the Mighty.
===============================================
/ K. Realm of the Mighty [ssr4k] /
===============================================
Welcome to the final stretch of the speed run, where you will be fighting six
bosses in succession without a save point. Fun, eh? Make sure to pick up the
Mirror Armor, Ruby of Protection, and Spellward Circlet as you take down each
member of the Triumgorate again. Use Superior Medicines to heal after each
battle instead of magic, to conserve leading up to the final three. Be sure to
use your coup de gr�ce as needed throughout each boss fight.
Before taking on Corvus, ensure you have the following items equipped:
Falcon Sword, Dark Shield, Spellward Circlet, Mirror Armor, Light Gauntlets,
Sturdy Slacks, Safety Shoes, and the Ruby of Protection.
Make sure you have the 100 Shield quest scroll in your main inventory.
===============================================
/ L. Fallen Celestrian Corvus [ssr4l] /
===============================================
Magic Mirror to start, counter all high tension attacks with Back Atcha. Not
much to this fight, he will waste several turns with his confident laughter and
Kaswoosh casts. Take him down while conserving as much MP as possible.
Head back down, and prepare for the last (and hardest) two battles of the game.
===============================================
/ M. Dark Dragon Barbarus [ssr4m] /
===============================================
If you bought and equipped the Sturdy Slacks from Dourbridge, they will reduce
the chance that Barbarus will land a Wave of Panic. Magic Mirror will bounce
Kazam back at him, leaving only his normal and breath attacks which can be
healed through as needed. Heal and restore MP afterwards then examine the
bubble for the final battle.
===============================================
/ N. Archfiend Corvus [ssr4n] /
===============================================
This can get frustrating fast. He loves to waste turns early in the battle
spamming Kafrizz and confident laughter, both of which can be taken advantage
of. Back Atcha will return every attack but the combo, which should be used
liberally with this being the final battle. Try and bide your time until a
Rough n' Tumble comes up before the last part of the battle.
Toward the end of the fight, he'll shift away from confidence and into
desperation. This is where you'll want to unleash a coup de gr�ce if you have
it saved up in order to go all-in and take him down before he gets a chance to
use either Magic Burst or his ridiculous Eye Gleam which will almost always put
you to sleep. Hold on tight, and hope for the best.
Survive and it's all over. Congratulations on finishing the speed run!
===============================================
/ O. The End? [ssr4o] /
===============================================
Your final time is recorded as the moment you dealt the final blow to Corvus,
so worry not about watching the ending. When you land at the blue tree next to
Alltrades, you are unbound by time and no longer have to worry about it. You
need to find Stella to confirm your final time, so you're not quite done.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
V. POST-GAME [ssr5]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Head to Porth Llaffan and find Jona inside her little hut to start the post-
game quest that will lead you back to Stella and the Starflight Express. You
can find the ghost of the old summoner outside of Jona's hut at night.
The Watermaul Wand can be bought in Gleeba, the Flowing Dress can be bought in
Wormwood Creek, and the Silver Shield can be bought in the brand new post-game
armor shop in Stornway. All three must be equipped in order to proceed with the
quest. There's a huge problem now, and if you've watched the video you already
know what it is.
Your Minstrel and Warrior can't equip Wands!!
===============================================
/ A. /facepalm [ssr5a] /
===============================================
This leaves you unable to see your final time until you pick out a class that
can equip Wands! The Flowing Dress and Silver Shield will have to be equipped
the entire time during the battle too, leaving your defense somewhat low.
If you want to get it done fast, a Priest is the way to go. Priests can use the
Buff line and can equip Wands, making it the ideal choice. Equip the Watermaul
Wand, Flowing Dress, Silver Shield, and use the Dragon Warrior set pieces to
fill in the missing arms/boot slots. Re-equip the Spellward Circlet, Sturdy
Slacks, and Ruby of Protection. Time to pay our metal friends another visit.
Kill a few packs of enemies outside of Alltrades and then Wormwood to gain some
buffer levels and skill points. When you have enough skill points to finish out
Swords, switch back over to Minstrel to do that and then back to Priest again.
Your Priest can now equip the Falcon Sword, and is ready for Bowhole. Max out
Faith, and you should be ready to go. Heal up and save the game in Porth
Llaffan before heading to the private beach. Talk to Jonas with the Watermaul
Wand, Flowing Dress, and Silver Shield to summon our old buddy Lleviathan.
===============================================
/ B. Lleviathan Part Deux [ssr5b] /
===============================================
First order of business is to switch the Watermaul Wand out for a better
weapon. He can attack twice this time, so keep that in mind. Keep Buff x2 up at
all times, using Back Atcha when it's about to fall off. This keeps his normal
attacks in check, but still leaves that annoying tidal wave which is easy
enough to heal through. Wear him down and finish him to take care of the last
thing standing between you and your final completion time.
This was the way I handled the post-game quest and Lleviathan. If you'd rather
put a little more time and effort in to make sure you can roflstomp him there's
nothing wrong with that too. Just wanted to keep the challenge theme going.
Watch the scenes and check out your final time, reveling in the awesomeness.
You're free to do whatever now, but you'll always have the itch to move fast
from now on. If you want to make a video similar to mine, now is the time to do
it before talking to Patty. Go on, have fun. You've earned it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VI. CONCLUSION [ssr6]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for checking out the guide, hope it helps you accomplish what you are
out to do in Dragon Quest IX. As a long time Dragon Quest player, I've always
wanted to do something like this but no DQ game since Dragon Quest 3 has had
the freedom that this does.
===============================================
/ A. Contact [ssr6a] /
===============================================
There are two ways to contact me. You can e-mail me at kostaki h 2 at yahoo dot
com, or feel free to leave a comment on the youtube video that supplements this
guide. The video is located at the link below, also found in the introduction.

===============================================
/ B. Credits [ssr6b] /
===============================================
I'd like to thank Yuji Horii for creating the Dragon Quest series, and Enix
Corporation for providing the outlet to make the games happen.
A huge thanks to Level 5, who have come a long way from the fledgling company I
remember with Dark Cloud and Dark Chronicle. You all deserve every last bit of
success you've earned and found over the years.
Kudos to Nintendo for stepping up and publishing DQIX, although something a
little better than local Wi-Fi would be nice in the future. -hint hint-
Please check out Damage_dealer's awesome DQIX walkthrough here at gamefaqs,
which helped a ton with the planning phase of my third and final speed run. I
appreciate your hard work, and hope you continue to update the guide.
Last but not least, I'd also like to thank a good friend of mine and an
otherwise terrible poker player for entertaining me with endless multitudes of
poker-related banter while I was in the process of writing this guide.
