Octagonia is a city in Dragon Quest XI. Located in north-east Erdrea within Dundrasil's region, roughly west-northwest of the Warrior's Rest Inn, the city takes its name from its signature venue, an octagon suited for Masked Martial Arts fighting.
Description[]
Octagonia is a multi-layered city contained within a single giant structure with the Arena as its central point. The city's only entrance leads directly to the arena entrance. To the right of the venue, the path branches into upper and lower Octagonia. Lower Octagonia is composed mainly of the city's residences and the orphanage where Vince Vanquish lives, while upper Octagonia is where the city's VIPs--their fighters--spend their down time. Upper Octagonia also contains the arena itself, which is the only part of the city directly under the open sky.
A series of monster-infested caverns, containing some ancient and unidentified ruins, lies directly beneath the city. They can be accessed from the orphanage's basement.
Octagonian citizens are obsessed with the annual Masked Martial Arts tournament, with names like the Underdigger, Sinderella and Vince making up the bulk of local discussion. The city's mayor also serves as the emcee for the tournament. The tournament consists of two days' worth of two-on-two fighting, with partners being randomly assigned before the first day.
During the fall of the nearby Kingdom of Dundrasil, Sir Hendrik fought with valour defending Octagonia aganist the monsters, impressing the people so much, that he is honoured with a statue above the arena entrance.
Plot Significance[]
Road to Yggdrasil[]
The party of the Luminary, Erik, Veronica, Serena and Sylvando head to Octagonia in pursuit of the Rainbough, and find it almost immediately as the first-place prize in the Masked Martial Arts tournament. The Luminary, Sylvando and Erik decide to enter, and the hero is initially partnered with a mysterious woman in green. However, a portly old man is able to pull some strings and convinces the mayor to reassign the woman to him, and the Luminary is instead partnered with the previous year's champion, Vince Vanquish, forming the team known as the In-Vince-Ibles.
The Luminary and Vince make it into the second round by defeating the Underdigger and the Abominable Showman. Erik and his partner, Liu Za, however, are eliminated by the mysterious woman and her partner, who doesn't seem to be needing to move. Afterwards, the woman, introduced as Jade, warns the party about fighters mysteriously disappearing, prompting the Luminary to check in on Vince.
Although Vince is alright, a loud noise in his orphanage causes the duo to check his room to discover that it is ransacked, and that strange phials of fluid have been spilt. Vince convinces the Luminary to stay over ahead of the finals day.
On the finals day, Vince and the Luminary square off against The Beaty Queens, Sinderella and Whambelina and then The Bullion Boys, composed by Sterling Sylva (in truth Sylvando under a not so subtle alias) and Golden Boy, but not before Vince drinks from one of the phials seen before, something he just brushes off as a simple pre-fight ritual. They progress to the finals against Jade and Rab, the Princess and the Pudding, but not before Vince once again drinks from one of the phials. During the fight, under a furious assault from Jade, she catches sight of the Luminary's mark on his hand, which surprisingly shocks into a stupor both her and Rab. Distracted, Jade and Rab are knocked out, however just as soon as they are declared winners, Vince begins screaming in pain clutching his chest and blacks out, being rushed into care at his orphanage.
That night afterwards, Rab arrives at his room at the inn and asks the party to help him find Jade, who has seemingly gone missing. The party arrives at the orphanage and discovers that Vince is also missing and that a hole to the Caverns under Octagonia is open. Entering the caverns, the party progresses to a web-filled room where Vince is revealed to be behind the fighters' disappearance.
The champion is not working alone, as a spider monster named Arachtagon has been providing a share of the fluid for him in exchange for a constant supply of new fighters to drain of their liquefied fighting essence. This extract is used to sustain Arachtagon, who was badly wounded by Hendrik many years ago. Vince, who has been assisting the monster in order to be able to continue to provide food for the kids of the orphanage, attempts to stop the party, but the fluid inside him once more causes him to collapse in pain, as it was never meant to be for human consuption and it has been slowly killing him, something the spider knew from the start it would happen. Ditching his so-called parter Arachtagon fights the party and Rab and is slain, while Jade, who let herself be caught on purpose to lead the party to the culprit, rescues the captives during the battle. Afterward Rab reassures a remorseful Vince, telling him he will convince the mayor to provide for the orphanage.
The next day the prize ceremony resumes, but Vince challenges the Luminary to a one-on-one battle for the right to take the full prize, mostly to expose himself to the crowd for the fraud he sees himself as and because he felt he didn't deserve the prize, losing easily aganist the Luminary. However, his fighting spirit causes the crowd to cheer him on, and he leaves the arena smiling. The mayor attempts to present the Rainbough to the Luminary, but it is revealed that the prize was stolen by Rab and Jade, who took it alongside the Yellow Orb that they won for placing second. They leave behind Rab's mask and a cryptic message for the Luminary to follow them to Dundrasil's old ruins if he wants to see the Rainbough again.
Rise of the Lord of Shadows[]
Jade is the first to make her way to Octagonia after Yggdrasil falls, and despite receiving a warning to turn back, enters the monster-filled city. There, she sees humanity enslaved by the Spectral Sentinel Booga. Making her way to where the Arena once stood, she finds Booga, only to realise that she has become the object of the monster's newfound affections. Reluctantly donning a bunny suit, Jade finds herself accidentally sucked into Booga's slave prison dimension, Limboo, where she is subjected to a merciless "tournament" for the amusement of the jealous girlfriend of Booga, Boodica. After freeing the trapped fighters and escaping Limboo, Jade's bunny suit activates, and she is turned into a demonic version of herself to indulge Booga's desires.
Some time later, the Luminary, Hendrik, Rab and Sylvando (and the optional Erik) also make their way to the city and discover the sorry state of it. They find Jade and fight her in order to break her brainwashing, before defeating Booga himself. As it turns out, Booga turned most of Octagonia's surviving humans, including Vince and the other MMA fighters, into monsters, and his defeat reverts the transformation.
Booga turned Octagonia's fighting facilities into a monster casino, and after he and his allies are slain, the human residents of Octagonia decide to keep the city as a casino, in order to finance the reparation fees, where the party can gamble, similarly to that of Puerto Valor .
In Search of Lost Time[]
After the Luminary's travel back in time accidentally allowed the Dark One of old Calasmos to reunite with his body, Octagonia decides once again to turn their fighting facilities into a casino, in order to better provide for themselves. However, once again, some of the local fighters begin to disappear, because the rise of the Dark One has resurrected Arachtagon from the dead. Now stronger than ever, the monstrous spider used his newfound strenght to brainwash the former MMA fighters into his servitude, but thanks to the assistance of Vince, the party is once again able to send back Arachtagon to the other world, this time for good.
