Rosehill is a small town in Dragon Quest IV. Inhabited by dwarves, animals, and monsters, it is considered a safe haven from the persecution suffered at the hands of humans. It is best known for the tower in which Rose is hidden away by Psaro for her protection.

Story[]

Chapter 5[]

After his first encounter with Rose, Psaro took her to the village he considered home and constructed a small tower for her to live in, protected from the humans who would hunt her for her powers.

When the Hero and their party of Chosen arrive in the village, they learn of its connection to Psaro and Rose from its inhabitants. They also witness animals who have gained the ability to speak, as a result of Psaro's experimentation with the Secret of Evolution.

At night, Rose can be seen at the uppermost front window of the tower, with no apparent access to the room from the outside. Realizing this is the same tower as from the peculiar dream they experienced in Strathbaile's inn, the Hero plays the Flute of Revelation, activating a hidden elevator to take them inside the tower. At the tower's top they fight with Sir Roseguardin, the green knight tasked with protecting Rose, before being able to enter her bedchamber. Speaking with her, she pleads with the group to put a stop to Psaro's plans. Her pet slime, Gloopert, will also disclose the location of the mod rod, needed to infiltrate Diabolic Hall.

Chapter 6[]

Following Rose's death, a small grave appears on a lone hill covered with multi-coloured flowers. It is here that the Chosen brought the Yggdrasil flower to resurrect her.

Other appearances[]

Dragon Quest XI[]

In the 3DS and Definitive Edition versions, the tower of Rosehill is the second location visited from the Echo Chamber's Altar of the Chosen. Once visited, the Luminary will find Rose and Gloopert being chased around her room by Sir Roseguardin in a fit of fury. Once the knight is knocked around, he comes to his senses and apologizes, explaining that he must have come under a curse to break his vow. The slime notices that the flute of revelation was broken in the ruckus, and must be replaced. The item needed is a revelatree branch, and Rose will be so moved by the act of charity that she will breakdown in tears, shocking her visitors with rubies.

Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince[]

Rosehill is the starting location for Psaro's journey to become the Master of Monsterkind he is known for, having rested there after he was cursed not to harm monsters.

Version differences[]

  • In the NES version, using the Flute of Revelation reveals a stairway leading into the hidden part of the tower, whereas in the remakes it instead reveals an elevator.
  • In the mobile ports, after Zack is recruited into the Immigrant Town, he points the party to a potential church priest dwarf in this town.
