Sphere of Light

The Sphere of Light (formerly the Ball of Light or Light Orb) is an important magical item in the Dragon Quest series.

Appearances[]

Dragon Quest[]

As the game opens, the Dragonlord, the game's primary antagonist, kidnaps Princess Gwaelin and steals the Orb, allowing him to unleash monsters and other horrors on Alefgard. Upon his defeat, the Sphere of Light falls into the possession of the Hero and marks the end of the main story.

Dragon Quest III[]

The Sphere of Light (called Light Orb in the Game Boy Color version), is obtained from the Dragon Queen at her castle and is instrumental in defeating Zoma. It removes the protective magical barrier around him, and in the HD-2D Remake, must be used to dispel the darkness from the Pit of Giaga before it can be entered.

Dragon Quest Heroes[]

The Sphere of Light in mentioned at the beginning of the confrontation between the Heroes team and Zoma, dispelling the protective barrier around him. Even without this barrier, Zoma is one of the most difficult boss battles in the game.

Trivia[]

The unique ability of the Sphere Light to permanently dissipate Zoma's shroud of darkness is virtually identical to the Super Sword of Light's own ability to break Calasmos' own shroud of darkness, perhaps suggesting a connection in the origin of these powers.
