                                  Sometimes it's just great to relax and take a
                                  break from similar RPG's and play a great
                                  traditional RPG like Dragon Quest VIII. This
                                  game is a excellent RPG by far the best RPG 
                                  on PS2 and one of the best RPG's ever made. I
                                  really hope you enjoy Dragon Quest VIII. Not
                                  only do you get Dragon Quest VIII you get a
                                  demo of Final Fantasy XII!

It's a peaceful night at Trodian Castle that is until Dhoulmagus finds the
sacred staff and grabs it. When he grabs it he causes Trodian Castle to 
completely destroyed and covered in vines. Meanwhile.. a small mouse runs back
to his owner the main character of Dragon Quest VIII the Hero. The mouse rests
in his pocket. Yangus tells everyone they should leave here soon since it's
going to be night and they should sleep at a town. Now when Yangus tells you to
move do so using the left analog stick. Then be sure to view the controls if
this is your first time playing Dragon Quest VIII.

Run over to Yangus and speak to him and he'll say how he's amazed that he's
working for King Trode. King Trode who's a goblin and often gets angry at
Yangus and they both get angry at each other. But as they are both getting 
angry at each other King Trode notices Medea the princess who is a horse is 
missing. Everyone searches around and then 3 Slimes appear and your first 
battle will start. Defeat the Slimes and King Trode will look around and Medea
will come back. King Trode is very glad to see Medea is safe and with Medea 
found your group travels to the town of Farebury.

At Farebury King Trode tells Yangus and Hero they need to search for Master
Rylus. Yangus tells King Trode that their supposed to be searching for 
Dhoulmagus and King Trode will explain that Master Rylus can hopefully tell us
where he is. Anyways in control of Hero try to leave and Yangus will join your
party. Run North up a few stairs and you'll be in front of a Weapons Store. 
From where you are head Northeast to the Pub. Inside the Pub speak to the
man dressed in a orange robe sitting on a stool. A scene starts where 
Kalderasha gets angry at the Bar-tender who keeps giving him free beverages for
his fortune-telling.

The Bar-tender tells him that his fourtune-telling isn't so good and that he
is wasting his drinks. While they speak Kalderasha mentions that unfortunately
Master Rylus passed away. Anyways once the scene is over speak to Kalderasha
and he'll ask Hero to show his face. But, Hero gets scared and a boy runs 
inside the Pub saying that there's a monster in Farebury. Return to King Trode
and everyone will be terrified of him. Except this time go East from the Pub
and down another staircase. Follow the path here to the courtyard and approach
King Trode. Watch another scene as Poor King Trode is being attacked by the
citizens when Yangus and Hero come and tell the citizens to stop. The citizens
ignore their request and ask you to leave Farebury. Later during the night...
King Trode is angry.

King Trode will ask Hero if him and Yangus found Master Rylus. Give him the
sad news that Master Rylus passed away. King Trode is sad by quickly cheers
up and tells everyone that they'll just have to find Dhoulmagus by themselves.
As your about to leave a girl appears and asks you to please not leave. She
tells you that she had a dream where two people and a strange creature came to
Farebury. King Trode gets offended and Yangus laughs the girl apoligizes and
she introduces herself as Valentina. She asks you to stop by her house later
for a favour. King Trode requests that you go help her so go to Valentina's
house it's located by the well at the far end of Farebury.

At Valentina's house you'll see her sleeping. Speak to her and she'll wake up
and tell you what she wants. Valentina wants you to go retrieve her father
Kalderasha's old crystal ball which was lost in the Waterfall Cavern. As she's
talking Kalderasha interuptts and is very angry and tells her to sleep. Once
the scene is over leave Valentina's House and also leave Farebury. Outside
Yangus and Hero will explain what Valentina asked them to do. King Trode asks
you to rest at a Inn while him and Medea sleep outside. In the morning leave
Farebury and train until both Hero and Yangus are level 5. When both Hero and
Yangus are level 5 go Southeast until you see a path now follow this path
Southwest to the Waterfall Cavern. Before going be sure to buy a few Herbs they
will greatly help and also save at the Church if you haven't.

______________________________________________________________________________
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note:The Capsichum enemies in this region mostly encountered around the forest
area's drop Copper Swords. Be sure to fight them until you get a Copper Sword.
Doing so gets you a better sword for Hero and saves you 270 gold.

 /---/   `._.`-.    \/    / / /=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Proceed forward and you'll reach a fork and a treasure chest. Open the chest to
recieve a Map of the Waterfall Cavern. Follow the right path to a room with 3
treasure chests. Open the chests to recieve Chimaera Wing, Medicinal Herb and
a Leather Hat. Equip the Leather Hat onto Hero since he's going to be your main
healer for a while. As for the other path at the fork there's nothing there so
don't bother. Anyways follow the path and exit this room and proceed forward to
another room. Run down the staircase inside this room.

On the second floor proceed forward until you reach a Hammerhood who's guarding
the path. Speak to him and he'll be susprised that you made it this far and are
not scared of him. When given a option choose your brave to avoid a tough fight
against the Hammerhood guard. Keep going straight until you reach another fork.
Go left and follow this path to another area with a treasure chest. Open the
chest to obtain a Copper Sword. If you don't have a Copper Sword be sure to
equip this Copper Sword onto Hero. Now return to the fork and follow the other
path to a staircase. Go downstairs onto the third and final floor of the 
Waterfall Cavern.

Before going any further on the third floor make sure Hero and Yangus have full
HP. A boss awaits up ahead is why you should be prepared. Anyways go forward
and examine the Crystal Ball that's floating. Choose to take it and Geyzer 
appears. He's not happy at all that Hero and Yangus are taking his crystal ball
and it seems your going to have to fight him. Guess what!? Boss fight!

|For a first Boss Geyzer is not to be underestimated at all. Be sure to have |
|several Medicinal Herbs and have Hero with most of his MP remaining.        |
|Geyzer's physical attacks do about 20-25 damage. And he's very quick now to |
|inflict damage Psyche Up to 50 then attack. Geyzer also casts Fizz which    |
|does 8-16 to everyone. His Cursed Mist attack is deadly also since it       |
|inflicts the Curse status effect. If you can't Psyche Up to 50 then try to  |
|20 and then attack to do massive damage. When Hero is low on MP and you have|
|almost no Herbs start attacking like crazy.                                 |
==============================================================================

Geyzer finds out your not the true owner of the crystal ball after you defeat
him. But, as he's talking he stops then tells Hero and Yangus more about
what happened at Trodian Castle. After he's done talking about Hero he gives
you the Crystal Ball. Nothing left to do here except return to Valentina's
House back at Farebury. To get out of the Waterfall Cavern quickly use Evac
and outside use a Chimaera Wing to return to Farebury quickly.

Back at Valentina's house Kalderasha is not happy to see that you got his
crystal ball back. Hero and Yangus tell him not to throw it down the well
because it might hit Geyzer again. Valentina appears soon and reveals that she
really knows why Kalderasha threw the crystal ball away. It seems somehow it
was Kalderasha's fault Valentina's real parents died. Later during the night..
Hero and Yangus are sleeping. Now move to wake up in control of Hero speak to
Yangus. Go downstairs and Kalderasha will thank Hero and Yangus for retrieveing
his crystal ball. He looks into the crystal ball and is susprised when he sees
a jester going through the southern checkpoint. It turns out Dhoulmagus 
murdered Master Rylus.

Nothing left in Farebury so leave via the front entrance. On the World Map take
the path that leads to the Waterfall Cavern. Except this time go in the 
opposite direction meaning don't follow the path to the Waterfall Cavern. 
Follow it to a fork and here take the path going South. Follow this path to
a creepy bridge. Cross the bridge then follow another path to enter the 
Alexandria Region keep following it to find Alexandria now enter Alexandria.

 /---/   `._.`-.    \/    / / /=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
As you enter two small young boys attack Hero and Yangus. You'll enter a battle
just select attack and it'll end. The lady will apoligize for Bangerz and Mash
attacking. If you ask around Alexandria you'll find out Jessica's brother 
disappeared. Speak to several villagers then go to the mansion in the Northeast
corner of Alexandria. Inside the mansion go upstairs and speak to the man 
standing near the staircase. Lorenzo tells you Bangerz and Mash are guarding
Jessica's room. Next speak to the woman sitting in a chair at a small table.
Rosalind tells you that nobody who lives inside here is allowed to leave and
Jessica is very angry about that.

Enter the room Lorenzo is standing closest to and run up the staircase inside.
Up here look for a hole that is between a few barrels. Examine the hole and
choose to send Munchie through the hole. As Munchie run forward to a staircase
now go down it. Downstairs run up the broom and onto the desk. Grab the letter
and return to Hero and Yangus. Hero will read the letter and below is what is
written in Jessica's Letter.

"I don't know who will find this letter. But please consider it my last will
and testament. For by the time you read this I will already be gone. I am
going to the tower in the east. I will not return until my brother's death
is avenged. Mother im sorry for the damage I've caused to our family's 
reputation. But this is about something far bigger than tradition. I must
follow my heart no matter the consequences. Please forgive me. And to Bangerz
and Mash i'm sorry for lying to you.I hope you'll forgive me as well Signed
Jessica."

It's now obvious where our next destination is. Alexandria Tower but before
going train to level 10 and buy the best equipment possible. We still have a
few things to do though before we can enter Alexandria Tower. Return to Bangerz
and Mash and show them Jessica's letter. Bangerz doesn't trust you so he checks
Jessica's room and finds out you were not lieing. Now leave Alexandria and head
East to Alexandria Tower.

 /---/   `._.`-.    \/    / / /=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Go through the door straight ahead of you. Bangerz will tell you try and open
the door. Since only people from Alexandria know how to Bangerz opens the door
for you. Inside run up the stairs and go North into a room. Head down the
stairs then Northeast and through the door to be back outside. Outside again
open the chest in front of you to recieve a Map Of Alexandria Tower. From here
run West then South to a staircase. Go up it and ignore the first room and 
enter the other room.

Inside here climb up the ladder and enter the nearby room up here. Outside
again enter the room Northeast of here. Examine the switch on the wall to 
switch to the other side of the room. Go up another staircase then examine the
switch to the right to appear in another room. Examine the other switch in here
to be in another room. Head up more stairs to the next floor. On this floor
examine the nearby switch. Run up the staircase in here then proceed forward
to a room. Open the chest in here to recieve a Scale Shield. Then resume going
forward until your in the center of the room you were just in. Go up the stairs
to your right and examine the statue up here.

A scene will start where Jessica appears and she thinks your the theives who
killed her brother. She tries to kill you when Alistair tells her to stop. It
seems Dhoulmagus kiiled Alistair. However a part of his soul was allowed to 
linger inside the statue. Everyone looks into Alistair's eyes and watches 
Dhoulmagus kill him. Alistair enters this room and hears Dhoulmagus moving.
He looks behind him then Dhoulmagus teleports in front of him and Alistair
turns around and asks Dhoulmagus to reveal himself. Dhoulmagus introduces
himself then Alistair tries to withdraw his sword but can't and Dhoulmagus
stabs Alistair with his staff killing him.

Alistair speaks to everyone and tells you that he cannot longer speak and must
now go and Jessica begins crying. King Trode speaks then tells you he'll be
waiting outside with Medea. Before going speak to Jessica then try to leave and
she'll tell you to meet her at her mansion in Alexandria. Nothing left to do 
here so return to Alexandria.

Back at Alexandria go to the Inn and speak to Bangerz. He tells you that he
paid for you to sleep at the Inn. So enter the Inn and speak to the woman and
during the morning return to Jessica's mansion. Run upstairs and watch a scene
where Jessica is reunited with her mother. Jessica is complaining with her 
mother about avenging Alistair. In control of Hero after the scenes are over
leave Alexandria. On the World Map go East to a fork now this time instead of
going straight follow the other path. This path will lead you to your next
destination Port Prospect.

Afterwards Khalamari gives up and hands over a Gold Bracer he also tells you
that Dhoulmagus made him become evil. The boat will head back to Port Prospect
meaning you can get some stuff or do whatever you want. Anyways speak with
Jessica when ready to board the boat and set sail.

Also when you say your are ready Jessica joins your party. Once on the Ferry
Jessica will wonder how the Hero and Yangus met up Yangus then tell's Jessica
how they met. It turns out Yangus used to be a theif and one day cornered the
Hero and King Trode while fighting them on a bridge.

A gap was made and Yangus was grabbing onto the edge of the bridge for his life 
the Hero felt bad for him so he helped him out and saved his life. Then from
that day Yangus sweared to protect the Hero for life. Now we need to find Trode
so head down the nearby steps and enter the nearby room. 

Inside here go down either staircase then enter the next room in here speak 
with King Trode. It looks like he made something called the Alchemy Pot it's
purpose is to mix Items in it to make new better Items. This thing is used to
get some of the best Weapons and Armor in the entire game.

Anyways soon you will arrive at Pereguin Quay.

When you arrive head to the Inn and speak with the hooded man sitting at a
table he will give you a item called Iron Nail. Also buy a Bronze Knife from
the Weapon Shop. Now get out the Alchemy Pot and mix the Iron Nail and Bronze
Knife to create the Thief Key.

A very nice Item that allows you to open any chest in the entire game. Also
while your at it be sure to buy stuff and Save by talking to the Priest near
the boat. When ready to leave head thourgh the Inn and once inside go out
to the World Map using the door on the other side of this room. Out on the 
World Map head Southwest from here to Maella Abbey.

When you enter either head to the right or left side passages now here enter
a nearby door. Inside this room proceed forward to a door with two guys 
guarding walk up to them for a scene. It turns out you can't enter without
permisson or being a Templar so leave here.

Now once back out on the World Map go Southeast to Simpleton you can tell your
near there when you see a fork with a sign saying welcome to Simpleton. Now
go in the direction this sign is pointing to reach Simpleton.

When you get here enter the bar and talk to the guy sitting at a table playing
cards he has white hair. Shortly after Yangus tries to cheer a guy up but ends
up getting thrown at a table. Afterwards Yangus gets angry at that guy and a
huge fight starts.

Angelo the guy from before who was cheating pulls you outside and asks you who
you are. He hands over a ring and says he's from Maella Abbey so head back 
there to where those guards are at the Maella Abbey and they will now let you 
pass.

The Hero will tell them that he needs to return the ring as a excuse to get
inside the area. Proceed to the next room now and in here head down the nearby
stairs to reach the prison area. Here keep going forward until you see Angelo
and Marcello inside a room having a conversation.

Afterwards head back upstairs and to the end of the hall and go through the
double doors. Out here walk across the bridge to where two guards are now
head back inside and a scene starts. Angelo will suspect something sinister
is going on in the Abbey.

When you have a choice pick yes and Angelo will give you directions on how to
find the Ruined Abbey. So leave here onto the World Map and once there do
what Angelo told you to do and you should see a stone eventually. Examine this
stone to get the option to insert Angelo's Ring now choose to do so. Doing so 
will reveal the entrance to the Ruined Abbey now enter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note:If you encounter a Metal Slime quickly try to defeat it as fast as 
possible if you do defeat it you will get 1000+ EXP. Beware though they are
very difficult to kill. They have extremely high defense and every physical
attack to them only does about 1 damage. No magic effects them either. To make
things even worse is they can run anytime they want and they have high evasion.
At this point I suggest not fighting them. Here they are rarely encountered
and later in the game you can find a very good place to hunt Metal Slimes.

When you enter proceed forward and head down either staircase. Once down here
proceed forward across this room to reach a staircase now head down it to the
second floor. Inside here proceed forward to reach more stairs now head down
these to reach the third floor.

Now make your way across keeping the following in mind...if you step in the
purple water you get damaged a little bit. So use the broken beds and platforms
to make your way across to the staircase and once at the staircase proceed up
it. From here go up the stairs in front of you and keep going until you see 
some mage like monster. Make sure you have full HP then approach it and speak 
with it to start a boss fight.

Wow at first he was easy...then I underestimated him and the monsters he 
summoned and then he killed Hero and Jessica. Anyways afterwards the guy
disappears into..nowhere now head through the passage to the left of where
he was.

At the end of the passage will be a ladder now climb it and you will be near
the Abbot's residence. From here head around the house to the front and enter
the house from the front door. Inside talk to the seriously wounded Templar's
then go up the stairs to the left of the door.

A scene now starts you see Dhoulmagus hovering above the Holy Father but then
he suddenly disappears for some werid reason. Now head over to the Holy Father
and talk to him. Everyone then gets accused of trying to murder the Holy Father
when a bunch of Templar's come and see the group.

But the Holy Father realizes your not a criminal but you must first answer a 
few questions to Marcello. Marcello then finds out while your getting 
questioned that Angelo was the one who helped you get inside the Abbot's 
Residence. Trode comes in and then you end up inside a cell unfortunately.

When inside the cell talk to everyone after doing so walk around for a while
then Angelo will come and set you free. After he does watch more scene's and
then Angelo will show you a way out of here. Go to the secert passage and pick
to enter it.

Angelo guides you out of here and through the secert passage to some barn area.
Anyways from here head back to Maella Abbey to help out Angelo and maybe catch
Dhoulmagus.

Once back inside quickly proceed to where the burned bridge is. Cross it to
the Abbot's house and watch the scene where Angelo realizes something very bad 
is going on and he rushes to the Abbot's house. The Hero Jessica Yangus and
Angelo break down the door to the Abbot's house and rush inside.

Now talk to the fallen Templar and then choose to go up the stairs and the Hero
and Angelo will rush upstairs. While doing so you see a Templar get knocked 
down the staircase and he mentions something about Dhoulmagus. Up here you see
Marcello get owned by Dhoulmagus.

Dhoulmagus is about to kill the Abbot but then what he said comes true and
no one gets damaged when he does his huge blast attack. He breaks a window
and then escapes after his little act...damn BASTARD!!! He got AWAY AGAIN!
Anyways watch a few more scenes.

Then once in control of the Hero leave the room you are in and go to Marcello's
office which is up from here. It's the door with two guards guarding it speak
to the guards and enter. Listen to what he says and at one point he will assign
Angelo to go with you to stop Dhoulmagus.

Angelo then joins your party as the fourth and final party member you will get
in the game. Anyways once on the World Map go Southeast following the path
from Pickham to reach the Ascantha Reigion. Once there head Northeast to
Ascantha Castle when you find the place enter it.

Once here proceed to the castle and talk to everyone. Also be sure to rest
at the Inn and buy new Equipment also new Items. The main person you should
talk to right now is Emma so head to the castle during the afternoon and head
up to the very top of the castle.

You should see Emma walking around now speak with her and she mentions some
recent things that have been going on. Next head down one floor and speak
with Emma in this room. It seems that the King is incredibly sad about the
death of his wife the Queen.

Anyways head to the Inn and sleep until Evening now head back to the Castle and
head to the Throne room the King will now appear so speak with him. Next head
to a small house across from the Riverside Chapel. Enter it and inside speak
with Emma's Grandmother.

Speak with everyone else then exit this house and head down the nearby path
to reach the river. Here proceed South staying along the river until you see
a cave now enter it.

Inside here at the first fork go right and proceed forward to reach another 
fork here go right again and you should see a staircase now head up it. Up
here head forward and keep going until you reach a path that is like a ramp
now run up it.

Go forward and when you reach a fork head left into a cave again and inside
here go straight and climb the rope here. After climbing it head forward and
go across this wooden bridge and keep going until you reach the very top of
this hill.

Up here you should see a shadow of a window stand in the shadow and wait for
a while eventually a scene will start. After the scene examine where that
glowing spot is and you will soon find out it's a door. You will now be 
transported somewhere here keep proceeding forward.

You will soon reach some building now walk up the stairs in front of it and
enter the building. Inside here you meet Ishmahri now speak with him and he
senses why your here. He figures out that King Pavan wants to be reunited
with his wife Sasha.

Anyways once the scene is over exit here and you will be at Ascantha Castle
now head to where King Pavan is. He's in the Throne room once in there speak
with him. He shows Pavan his memories with Sasha and then Pavan finally 
realizes he cannot keep feeling sad for what happened to his wife.

Once you gain control of the Hero again leave the castle and go to the World 
Map. Here Trode suggests going South to Pickham so keep going South until you
reach the Pickham Region. From here keep going South to reach Pickham and once
you do reach Pickham enter.

Once here buy Equipment and Items then head over to the bar/Inn and also be
sure to rest at the Inn. Inside the bar speak to King Trode who is sitting
in one of the chairs up at the counter. Then leave and head to the entrance
to the other bar and go up the stairs to the left of the entrance to this bar.

Head forward up here and look around for a staircase when you see it go down
and down here it Brain's house. However Brains isn't here so go to the Bar
and speak with King Troden. While talking to him Medea starts making a lot
of noise and Troden rushes off.

Go outside only to find out that Medea has been stolen by someone. Now head to
the house West from the town entrance. Now speak to the guy inside here it
turns out he took your horse and he also made 1000 Gold off of Medea. He then
shows his true colors and hands over 1000 Gold.

He also tells you who he sold Medea to anyways leave here and next head to the
other bar...the one by that staircase. Inside this bar speak to the Bar-tender
and he will allow you to enter the back so do so. Once in the back talk to
the only guy in here.

This guy tells you that he sold it to Red and the real bad part is from how
Yangus reacts this guy must be one tough customer. Anyways leave here and
Save then head to the World Map and go to Red's House it's Southwest from
here.

When you find Red's house enter it and speak to her inside. He says that the
only way he will give you Medea is if you get her a Item called the Venus Tear.
It's located in Swordman's Labyrinth which is Northwest from here. Before going
there rest at Pickham and buy Items and stuff.

When you enter make a left at the fork and keep proceeding forward until you
see a staircase now head down it. Down here go straight until you see a door
now go through it and inside here go down the nearby stairs to reach the third
floor.

Now on this floor head forward and when you reach some purple water try to
get across it by using the platforms and if you have to run in the water. At
the other side is a chest open it to get the Map of Swordman's Labyrinth. Next
head back to the stairs and go back up.

Here head through the nearby door and back here proceed forward. When you reach
a intersection go North and be sure not to fall into a gap while going this 
way. Eventually you will see a  door now ignore this one and keep going until 
you see another one now enter through here and in this room go down the nearby 
staircase.

Inside here keep going forward until you see a statue now move to the side of
it and push it to the right to reveal a door. Head through the door here then
proceed through this corridor. At the end of this corridor you should see some
stairs now head down them.

Once again head forward and keep going until you see a statue now move this
statue onto the brown tile. When you do a nearby bridge lowers so cross it
and proceed forward until you reach a door now head through the door. Inside
here you must move two statues around and then touch a tile on the floor and
you will get boosted.

Now to solve this look up you see that hole in the ceiling?? Move both statues
so that they are facing the tile right under that hole in the ceiling. Next
step on the tile and you should boost above to the next room. In here proceed
up the stairs in front of you. Have full HP before touching the chest here then 
touch it and a boss fight starts.

============================================================================
Name:Trapbox HP:1110 MP:255 EXP:1020 Gold:660
============================================================================
|To start off have Jessica use Accelerate and then have Angelo healing and |
|have Hero using Flame Slash and acting as a back-up healer. After Jessica |
|uses Accelerate have her using Twin Dragon Lash and have Yangus doing     |
|Normal Attacks and acting as a emergency back-up healer. Now as for this  |
|bosses's attacks it can use Snooze which has a 45% chance of putting all  |
|party members to sleep. It also uses Normal Attacks and Fuddle. Anyways   |
|another good idea is to have everyone Psyche Up a lot then attack. So with|
|this advice im sure you will win unless....something goes wrong.          |
============================================================================

When you win you get the Venus Tear and a scene starts where Yangus tells you
about a recent problem he had getting this gem. Afterwards use Evacuate and
then head to Red's House and talk to her once there. The stupid bastard still
however doesn't let you have Medea back...damn her ripping us off...

However Yangus finds a way to get around her and she allows you to have Medea
back. Anyways head outside and watch the sceen as King Troden and his daugher
Medea are reunited. Next head back to Pickham and head to over to Brain's house
now enter his house and speak with him.

Yangus asks Brains if he knows anything about Dhoulmagus's whereabouts. It
turns out Brains sources have reported him walking around the Western 
Continent. The bad news is though you need a boat to reach the Western
Continent. He then tells you that there is some boat in the middle of some 
desert wasteland that you could use.

So use a Chimerea Wing to warp to Port Prospect and from where you appear there
should be a path going West. Now go West to the Wastleland and along the way
you may run into a small cabin where you can save and rest. So do so then
go outside and look for a well when you see it examine it to jump down in
it.

Inside here examine the Crown suddenly you find out your on top of a King
Slime. When given a choice to get the Crown off of him pick yes and help
out the poor guy. Doing so gets you a very rare Item that is very good
for Alchemy called Slime Crown. Afterwards exit the well.

When you spot the ship go over to it and watch a scene in the scene everyone
thinks of how to get the ship into the water. King Trode comes up with a idea
to head to Trodian Castle in hopes that they will find something there that
can help them find out what they need to do.

Anyways see that cave when King Trode opened the Map??? That's where you need
to go so make your way Northwest to reach there. Once inside here proceed 
straight to reach the Trodian Continent. First off head Northwest to a small
house here Rest/Save your game then leave.

From here Go Northeast to reach Trodian now enter....

Note:If you run into a Liquid Metal Slime kill it as fast as possible because
it gives you 10000+ EXP which is very nice amount of EXP.

Approach the front door and examine it the Hero will try and open it though
the door doesn't budge. So then Jessica burns the vines on the door that
were preventing you from entering. Inside Trodain Castle train for a while
since this is a very decent spot for training.

King Troden thinks of what happened right when Trodain Castle was ruined and
Dhoulmagus had made the entire place a big mess. Him and his daughter were
walking down a hall until they spotted a wounded guard. Dhoulmagus had nearly
killed a guard and then quickly entered the sealed chamber.

King Troden and Medea quickly rush into the sealed chamber and spot Dhoulmagus
grabbing a sceptre. Dhoulmagus asks them how powerful the sceptre is and King
Troden figures out Dhoulmagus's plot...wow how hard it was to figure out he
was going to take the sceptre.

Shortly after Dhoulmagus takes the staff and casts the curse on Medea and
King Troden. Medea tries to take the blow but when it hits her the blast
splits in half and hits her and King Troden also turning them into a goblin
like monster and a horse.

Then it shows Dhoulmagus on a balcony trying very hard to release the Sceptre's
true power and he ends up releasing so much power he can't control it and he
ends up destroying/killing everyone/everything. A bunch of thorns also spread
around the entire castle.

Anyways watch the rest of it and once in control of Hero head up the stairs
to the left or right that are in front of you. Inside this area head left to
reach the next room and in here enter the other door to reach the next room.
Inside here open all chests below is what the chests include.

Magic Key which you need to get through this dungeon Templar's Sword a Weapon
for Angelo. Also break the chests in here to get Magic Beast Hide a Mini
Medal and then check the bags for a Gold Bracer. Now leave this room and head
back 1 room.

This time in here head to the right and inside here head left and then when you
can make a right. Go up the stairs up ahead from here to reach the upper floor.
Here proceed forward and enter the first room you see in here head thourgh the
door straight ahead of you.

Then head into the door right in front of you and in here check the bookcase
for a Alchemy Recipe. Also check the cabinets for a Mini Medal then leave here
and go West. Keep going until you see a door now enter this room and once 
inside head through the door to the left.

Here head North to reach a tower like area now enter the door here to go inside
this area. Here go down the long spiral staircase and keep going down until you 
cannot anymore. Go straight and ignore the first room then when you can make a
right do so.

Your now in the Throne room in here enter the room at the Southwest corner.
In here head West then South and when you reach a door head through it to
enter the next room. You are now inside the Libary now proceed forward and a
scene will start.

During the Scene King Troden talks about the condition the Libary is in. After
the scene is over check the bookcase in the Northwest corner of here. You have
now found the book you need however it provides nothing that will help you get
the ship back in water.

A shadow will appear in the shape of a window like at Wishers Peak after the
party reads the book now examine the shadow and choose yes when asked if
you want to open the Moonshadow Window. Here proceed forward until you reach
the small house now enter it and once inside speak with Ishmahri.

Hero then tells Ishmahri about the boat and Ishmahri decides to accept your
request. The bad news is that Ishmahri needs a more powerful harp however
then he senses that back in your world the normal world there is a powerful
Harp which he needs.

Next head back to the Libary in Trodain Castle and open the other door in the
room. Use it to quickly exit the tower anyways out here use the Zoom spell and
warp to Ascantha.

Once here rest at a Inn and be sure to Save your file at the Church. Next head
to the castle and speak with the King in the Throne room. Shortly after he 
leads you down to the much deeper parts of the castle. Anyways down here enter
that hole in the wall ahead of you.

Down here proceed forward and when you reach the first fork go left. Keep going
until you reach a intersection here take the middle path. From here keep 
heading forward until you reach the exit now exit this place doing so will make
you appear on the World Map.

Back out here head North from here to a cave known as the Mole Hole. Inside
here go forward and keep going until you can head right when you can do so.
Down here head Southwest and keep going until you reach a staircase now head
down it.

Here keep going forward until you reach a big room inside here is a fork now
take the path on the right. Once again proceed forward until you reach more
stairs or well a path now head down them to the third floor. Down here keep
going straight until you reach a huge room.

Inside this room keep going down and when at the bottom of the room head 
forward towards the giant mole. A scene will start showing the Don mole playing
the Moonshadow Harp. After the scene is over walk up to him and speak with him
watch the scene and a boss fight starts.

============================================================================
Name:Donmole HP:1280 MP:0 EXP:1160 Gold:360

============================================================================

After the battle Don Mole hands over the Moonshadow Harp now with it back head
to Ascantha and speak with the king. Then to Trodain Castle and enter the 
Moonshadow Realm once here speak with Ishmahri. Ishmahri now gets the boat out
of the sand and back in the sea allowing you to sail.

Here buy new Items and Equipment and also sleep at the Inn. Head to the castle
and go three floors up and on this floor examine the only door. Prince charmles
is behind the door however he won't allow anyone inside his room. Looks like
we are going to have to make him come out anyways go up one floor.

Up here look for a hole Munchie can go through then examine it and choose to
let Munchie go through the hole. Eventually you will run into a lizard now 
push it into the nearby hole doing so makes it fall into the room where Prince
Charmles is and Prince Charmels will run out of the room. Also be sure to 
talk with the king.

Head back to the throne room and Charmles will be there now speak with him. He
doesn't trust you will the mirror so he gives you a challenge. You must now
head to the Royal Hunting Grounds to get there go East from Argonia.

Note:Note:If your wondering why I reccomened such a high level it is because 
you can easily get to that level by heading to the Metal Slime Spot near here 
if you want more info about this check the Metal Monsters section. Also be sure
to use that Lizard Humour Prince Charmles gave you before you go in. If you 
encountera Metal Slime quickly try to defeat it as fast as possible if you do 
defeat it you will get 1000+ EXP. Beware though they are very difficult to 
kill. They have extremely high defense and every physical attack to them only 
does about 1 damage. No magic effects them either. To make things even worse is
they can run anytime they want and they have high evasion.

At this point of the game I used the following skills with the following 
characters to kill Metal Slimes.

Hero:Metal Slash:An attack that can damage enemies with metal bodies.

Yangus:Hatchet Man:An unpredictable attack which can slay a enemy in a single 
blow...if it connects. I absoutely love Hatchet Man and later on Yangus can
learn Executioner which has a higher chance of working then Hatchet Man.

Jessica:Physical attacks UNLESS one Metal Slime remains. If so then use Twin
Dragon Lash.

Angelo:Metal Slash:An attack that can damage enemies with metal bodies.

When you enter sneak up on the Argon Lizard up ahead of you by going up to it
by walking and approaching it from behind or to it's side. Once you do defeat
it in battle head over to the next lizard who is straight ahead from here.
But this time this guy is asleep and you can't get to him so head across the
huge nearby log. Over here grab one of the Salamango's then go back over to 
where the lizard is sleeping and throw the Salamango at the lizard to wake it 
up. Right when you do it wakes up and jumps over to you and a battle starts. 
Battle/defeat the lizard.

Once that lizard is defeated go East/Northeast and keep going until you see
a hill now go up it to the very top. At the very top go North and a Argon
Lizard will appear and jump inside a cave. Now go and grab a Salamando up
ahead and then go down to where that hole or well cave is and throw the
Salamando near there. When you defeat this lizard Prince Charmles makes you 
rest and you end up resting and getting your HP/MP restored fully. Shortly 
after Prince bitc-I mean Charmles tries to ride Medea but ends up unsucessful 
and King Troden gets extremely angry at him.

Shortly after Yangus comes and reports seeing a gigantic Argon Lizard. Anyways
once you gain control of Hero go down near that spring to find the Giant Argon
Lizard now approach it to start a boss fight.

============================================================================
Name:Great Argon Lizard HP:1390 MP:0 EXP:2830 Gold:520

|Have Jessica and Angelo use Kabuff and Accelerate to get things going.    |
|Next have Hero and Yangus also Jessica boosting to about Tension 100 or 50|
|. Then use Skills like Falcon Slash and Twin Dragon Lash and as for Yangus|
|he should use a Normal Attack. As for attacks it can use Mow Down The     |
|Enemy which does 40+ to everyone. Also Normal Attack which can do 50+.    |
|Anyways keep attacking him and Psyching Up to eventually kill him.        |
============================================================================

After the battle you get a Big Argon Heart and Prince Charmles the rude 
bastard finally has what he wants. So now leave here and use Zoom to quickly
get back to Argonia. Back here go to the throne room inside the castle and
speak with the king. 

______________________________________________________________________________
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note:The Bazaar in Argonia is now open! Be sure to stop by and be ready to
spend some money. If you want to make a really nice sword for the Hero at
this point follow the below directions.

Buy a Zombiesbane sword for 6300 Gold. OUCH yes I know but if you go to Neos
the center island on the world map you can battle Gold Golems which drop 700
Gold each. Pretty good way to make money for now. Anyways buy the Zombiesbane
sword. Next buy the Tough Guy's Tatoo for 2400 Gold. Last make sure you have
the Gold Rosary Item and the Alchemy Pot upgrade that allows three items to
be mixed. Last is Holy Water can pretty much be bought everywhere. Now the 
infamous Alchemy Pot will be getting some use. Also you can buy a Gold Rosary 
on the top island from some flower shop for about 500 Gold. 

ZOMBIE SLAYER:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
STEP 1:

1:Holy Water
2:Gold Rosary
3:Tough Guy Tatoo
Outcome:Holy Talisman

STEP 2:
1:Zombiesbane
2:Holy Talisman
Outcome:Zombie Slayer

The king now does his part of the deal and hands over the Mirror. After getting
it leave here and get on the Boat on the World Map then directly East in the
water from Baccarat will be a bridge sail right through it to get into a battle
with a Sea Dragon. Have the Mirror inside the Hero's inventory and then use it
every turn eventually the Sea Dragon will use its Gigaflash attack and the 
Mirror will obtain the power from the attack and evolve into the Sun Mirror. 
Next head to the Dark Ruins.

Mutilheal. A spell that restores up to 100 HP for all party members and costs
10 MP. The Dark Ruins is pretty tough and long and not only that but you'll
also have to settle the score with Dhoulmagus here. Dhoulmagus is easily said
if your not prepared enough the hardest boss so far in the game.

Darkness inside the Dark Ruins is now gone so now enter the Dark Ruins. In the 
first room enter the room on the left side of this room and in the next room 
proceed to forward to  reach the next next room. Inside here go up all the 
stairs and enter through the door at the very top.

Next look around for a lever up here and choose to switch it now head back down
to the very first room. Back in here go up that staircase that you made when 
you pulled that lever. From here proceed East to reach another door now head
through it.

In this room go down the nearby stairs and then enter the next room at the
bottom of the steps. Welcome to the maze of the Dark Ruins below I will give
you a step by step way to get through this maze.

1.Go up the stairs to the left of you and pull the lever up ahead of you.

2.Head down the stairs and then proceed forward and head East to find another
lever now pull this one.

3.Go up the nearby stairs and keep proceeding forward and then to the very
West to find another level now pull it.

4.Head up the other stairs that are close to where that block just rised and
from here keep going to reach another level now pull this one.

After doing those four simple steps go back to the switch before the previous
switch and pull it again then head through that doorway that just opened.
Inside here keep going down all these stairs until you reach the very bottom
of the room.

Your now in a new room inside here you must make it so that both statues
align with the two birds wings. Once you do a stairway is revealed now go down
the staircase to the next room. While down here if you make a right you will
see a spring that fully restores HP/MP when you drink from it.

Now head back and keep proceeding down these stairs and forward to eventually
come into a gigantic room where Dhoulmagus awaits your arrival. Head up to
the purple circle and watch the scene a Boss Fight now begins with this 
bastard. Below is what levels I were at and what Equipment I had.

|Finally time to fight him anyways this will be a tough battle. To start     |
|off use Kabuff and Accelerate a few times. Then Psyche Up and have Jessica  |
|use Oomph on Hero, Yangus and herself. Get to about Tension 50 or 100 and   |
|use Twin Dragon Lash, Falcon Strike, and Normal Attack. Then have Angelo    |
|healing every single round with Multiheal of Fullheal. Keep this up to win  |
|against his first form. Just note he can also get rid of your tension. So it|
|might be a bad idea to not use Tension.                                     |

|Use the same tactics on before and be even more careful because this time   |
|he is much tougher then before. This time I will cover his attacks anyways  |
|his most dangerous attack is probably his Debris attack which can do 80+    |
|damage and if he does it twice on one character that's a lot of damage. If  |
|you run out of MP with Angelo have Yangus use Share Magic or have Hero      |
|heal for the rest of the fight. Also be prepared because you are in for a   |
|long ass fight.                                                             |

Yeah we killed Dhoulmagus and beat DQVIII!!! Auctually no we didn't the curse
somehow is still on King Troden and Medea. It turns out someone even stronger
then Dhoulmagus is currently keeping the curse still effective. Anyways after
finding out that the curse wasn't lifted everyone spends the night at the
Argonia Inn.

Next thing we see Yangus busts into the room saying that Jessica stole 
something from Argonia castle and ran off. Anyways leave Argonia and on the
World Map head Northeast to Arcadia/Arcadia Reigon.

When you enter buy Items and Equipment then head over to Dominco's Mansion
to the left of the Church. Inside here go up to the second floor via the stairs
. After going up the stairs go through the door to the right and inside this 
room you witness Jessica trying to kill Dominico.

She's about to kill him when your group comes busting in right when you do she
escapes. Anyways when the scene is over go over to Dominico and speak with him.
He asks you to persuade the Kranbartles to hand over there two family gems over
to him because the gems have great magical power.

Anyways leave here and in the front yard look for David who should be trying to
free a dog. Watch the scene and then afterwards head to a house West of the bar
and enter the house. Inside look for a man sitting at a table now talk to him.
He will give you a Item called the Stone Sword which you will soon need.

After he is done talking leave Arcadia and head Northeast to Rydon Tower.

METAL SLIMES!!                                                           [METZ]

                             METAL SLIMES

Information:Metal Slimes are the weakest of the Metal Slime family. They
look just exactly like a weak pathetic regular blue slime except they are
metal. For defeating one of these you get 1000+ EXP. These are the most
common type of Metal Slimes and they have the least HP and run the least
often.

Location:Near the Argonia Hunting Grounds entrance. Nearby is a large and
wide area with a lot of trees. Personally I usually find the Metal Slimes
easier to encounter under the trees closer to the entrance. Also found in
Ruined Abbey but they are rarely encountered there. Last place I have known
to encounter them is Slime Island.

Note:Note:If you encounter a Metal Slime quickly try to defeat it as fast as 
possible if you do defeat it you will get 1000+ EXP. Beware though they are 
very difficult to kill. They have extremely high defense and every physical 
attack to them only does about 1 damage. No magic effects them either. To make
things even worse is they can run anytime they want and they have high evasion.

At Argonia Hunting Grounds point of the game I used the following skills to 
kill Metal Slimes.

Hero:Metal Slash:An attack that can damage enemies with metal bodies.

Yangus:Hatchet Man:An unpredictable attack which can slay a enemy in a single 
blow...if it connects. I absoutely love Hatchet Man and later on Yangus can
learn Executioner which has a higher chance of working then Hatchet Man.

Jessica:Physical attacks UNLESS one Metal Slime remains. If so then use Twin
Dragon Lash.

Angelo:Metal Slash:An attack that can damage enemies with metal bodies.

                             LIQUID METAL SLIMES

Information:The next Metal Slime in the family. Liquid Metal Slimes run a lot
more often then Metal Slimes do. Each one you defeat provides 10000 EXP WOW!
They look like a babble enemy any Dragon Quest(or Dragon Warrior) fan should
know what a Babble is right off the bat. They look exactly the same as a babble
enemy except they are silver.

Location:Also found on Slime Island. More spots include Trodain Castle but
they are extremely rare there. A pretty good spot besides Slime Island for
these is... Once you're able to fly, head to the plateau south of Dragon Bone 
graveyard (you'll be able to find it easily, there's a ring of clouds 
surrounding it) at night. You'll run into Liquid Metal Slimes
(worth 10,000 EXP each). Have the hero use Thunder Thrust (Spear Skill, chance 
of critical hit which will instantly kill a Liquid Metal Slime or a Metal Slime
King) or Metal Slash with a Falcon Sword on Liquid Metal Slimes, have Angelo 
use Metal Slash and have Yangus use Executioner-Information about plateau
south of Dragon Bone Graveyard from DQ VIII Message Board.

Skills:

Hero:Thunder Thrust or Metal Slash.

Yangus:Executioner.

Jessica:Whatever works for you.

Angelo:Metal Slash.

                              METAL KING SLIMES

Information:The BIG BAD METAL SLIME of the Metal Slime Family. Metal King
Slimes flee incredibly fast and give 30,000 EXP when killed. Metal Kings are
very hard for lower levels to kill and speed and easiness vs. exp ratio Liquid
Metal Slimes may be better. If your incredibly high leveled or got high Agility
I say give Metal Kings a shot.

Location:Plateau North of Rydon Tower surrounded by a ring of white clouds
is a good spot.-DQ VIII Message board. I have also encountered these at
Dragon Graveyard.

Skills:

Hero:Thunder Thrust or Metal Slash.

Yangus:Executioner.

Jessica:Whatever works for you.

Angelo:Metal Slash.
