Appearances

Main Games

Dragon Quest III

Skyfell Tower

Robbin' 'ood first appears in the Skyfell Tower west of Khoryv. He stole the crown from the king of Romaria and the Hero is recruited by the king to retrieve the crown. However, this is an optional sidequest, as failing to retrieve the crown does not prevent the hero from continuing in the game.

Within the tower, Robbin' 'ood attempts to thwart the hero by opening a trap door, which the hero's party falls through. Upon returning to the previous location, the hero finds he has vanished. However, after leaping off the edge where Robbin' 'ood had been standing, the hero finds him in the tower several floors below. This results in the first combat with him. After the battle, the hero acquires the king of Romaly's crown.
