This could be bad, folks. Really bad.

Looking at the wiki right now, it would appear that much of our spell content has been lifted from another free Dragon Quest wiki, located at www.dragon-quest.org. Although they abide by the same license, it just doesn’t feel right for us to copy/paste stuff from there without giving proper credit to whatever authors may have written it. If we can’t do that, then I have to propose that we start documenting from official sources or from gameplay experience. We already do this with the hundreds of monster entries that have already built up. Just for reference, it took our sister wiki about four years to correct this problem; flash forward about a dozen years, and they are one of the most authoritative sources on their series with nearly 40,000 entries. It may well be that they just have a lot more fans, but I’ve also seen smaller spaces do a lot more with less stuff.

My goal here is not necessarily to emulate what others in our network may be doing, but to create something that says, “Hey, these guys really give a darn about their work. They are passionate fans, and they want to get it right. They want to have fun while doing it. They tell good stories as they share this rich history. Give me more of that. I want in.”

Right now, we’ve got three or four guys doing their part, myself included, to keep things on the straight and narrow. So what do you think? Can you help us out?

So, as I've posted about this on Twitter before, I'll just borrow my words straight from there

"So, as I continue my attempt at 100%ing Dragon Quest IX with my Grotto searching, I started to realize how similar a lot of the layouts are and started thinking. Has anyone made a list of all the possible floor layouts for the grottoes? I started thinking this since the chests seem to be in the same spot on certain floor layouts. So making a full list of possible floor layouts with the possible entrances and exits may make the whole grotto searching experience easier"

I haven't actually been able to find any maps of floor layouts, and everything related to the grottoes seems to be just on how to find em. I've only gone through about 70 or so grottoes, so I don't know very many of them, but I know for certain they're recycled between grottoes, and i want to make the grotto searching experience a little easier.

I didn't even realize until coming on here that there were more Monsters games than the original Dragon Warrior Monsters. I loved that game as a kid.

Anyway, am I the only one that would be interested in a Monsters game on console? There's Pokemon on console now, and there's this Kickstarter MMO called TemTem which is also a monster training game which is probably going to be on consoles. I wouldn't mind at all of they brought Dragon Quest Monsters to console on the Switch or even next generation. That would be pretty sweet.

You’ll notice that I just put a quick poll up. The idea is to gauge interest in the community functions provided by Fandom itself. We’ve had these for years. Did you know you could write and share a blog? Are you using the old discussion forum system? How about a portal to monitor community activity and contact us? Yeah, we’ve got that too.

As we prepare for a number of large-scale changes and releases coming in 2020, we’d like to know what to keep, and what to shut down. So, please, if you see the poll, take it and let us know what you think.

I’d also like to take this time to thank our staff and our regular editors for the work they do in managing and maintaining DQWiki. You guys are awesome, and I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Hey-o!

So I spent the afternoon building a big fancy church on the Isle of Awakening, felt pretty good about myself. I built a refurbished replica of the altar on Furrowfield to finish it off. But when I put the doors on to turn it into a room, it doesn't count as a Chapel.

So I did some research, turns out that nothing over the two block wall height boundary counts as part of the room. What's up with that? It kind of puts a damper on my desire to be creative to know that my villagers will never actually use the room the way I intended.

And yes, that does mean any boss from any of the Dragon Quest games.

What are them and how do you get them? I already have Hand Of God and Gigaslash.

How can I get rid of the muddy water for Perry in to order to proceed I did everything I can and nothing helped (please help me I’m stuck and please read my comment if you like)

Hey! I am new to the wiki, (and the Dragon Quest franchise) but since picking up Dragon Quest Builders 2 I have in a short period of time managed to put ~70 hours into it, and looking forward to playing much more! I am however lacking a comprehensive and easily navigated wiki for this game since the actual page for it does not link to any gameplay info, only overarching info about the characters involved. I would love to make some new pages and expand on existing ones, but wanted to ask for advice on how people already on the wiki would like to see this done, and if it would be possible to make some kind of link via the Dragon Quest Builders 2 page to find articles such as room overviews, item overviews, monster overviews and so on.

I am able to use photoshop to make transparent images of items and other thumbnails, so would be happy to contribute something like this also.

I hope I can be of help, and have a nice day!

Where do I find items for the final boss, or just good stuff to equip

So when and how do I get Veronica back after death? Cause, I need to know once it is time to do it!

I need help. I keep getting beat by rab, do youhave any sort of thoughts on how to beat rab and this pang lainpart of the game

The Mirror Bosses in Dragon Quest Swords for the most part are just bosses that were added into US and PAL copies of the game.

However, there may be an actual story involved. The fights with the Mirror Bosses all take place in an alternate version of Avalonia, which already implies that something had happened. Considering that we never see any other characters other than the bosses, it's possible that all of them were killed by the monsters that now roam the alternate Avalonia.

Each of the bosses, for the most part are stronger versions of monsters seen in the main story. The first one is King Latem (Metal King) (considering he's fought near the item shop and The Hero's house) who doesn't attack at all and will flee after 25 seconds.

The Mirror Bosses after that are fought in the town centre, with the castle behind them. Nomeg (Gemon), Salta (Atlas) and Clank 'n' Knalc (Clank 'n' Knalc) are the first 3 monsters to fight you, two of whom are mirror counterparts to Gemon and Altas.

After The Hero slays them, the player comes face to face with Valgirt (Triglav), who is capable of reviving itself once. The Purple Mirror bosses Nomegoen (Neo Gemon), Der Gib (Big Red) and Valgirt Nedlog (Golden Trigalv) are all stronger versions of 3 other mirror bosses, implying that someone had resurrected them...

This is further supported when the player has to refight Nomegoen, Der Gib and Valgirt Nedlog in sequence before fighting Edahs 'Sohpix. It's possible that this sequence is what happened canonically, if the Mirror Bosses were canon, assuming that Edahs didn't just revive them one last time.

Now the most interesting part is Edahs 'Sohpix (Xipho's Shade). Considering how much stronger he is than his main counterpart, it's possible that Edahs 'Sohpix killed The Hero and then laid waste to Avalonia. As such, alternate Avalonia is what would happen if you fail to defeat Xiphos. It's possible that the player fights Edahs in Avalonia Castle, considering that you had to mow down 3 of his elite monsters just to get at him (even though his battle arena is the same as the final boss).

Of course, with all this in mind, it's possible that Payback Mode is the alternate Hero's second chance to stop Xiphos before he lays waste to the world. This time, The Hero is now armed with Xiphos/Edahs's sword, and can use it's dark powers to get payback for his death.

All of this of course is a theory, and isn't official.

What happens if you chose to marry no one and this game. If you do that. Do you just climb the cobblestone tor by yourself and be a free man? Or is that just another way to say not right now? Just wondering

I prefer Serena with long hair. The short hair doesn't look right to me. Maybe it's because I don't think it it goes as well her outfits or that it doesn't really go with the time/setting for which the game takes inspiration from. I think the thing that I really don't like about the short hair is that it somehow narrows and comes together together at the bottom on its own, somehow defying physics. Maybe if it was just a shorter version of the long hair or more spread out at the bottom I might like it more. Those are just my thoughts. Which of Serena's hair styles do you prefer and why?

Recently Indignus and Booga are added in DQMSL(Dragon Quest Monsters Super Light) as recruitable monsters, so we might be able to get their image soon!

I have been playing DQXI Defentive edition for 2 days, and I got jade now. But I do not know if I want to main her in glaives,claws or bare hands. I got Erik using boomerangs because multiple targets. Sylvando with whips just cause. The hero with just a sword. And the sisters with weapons they should be using. But I have know idea for jade.
