Dragon Quest XI[]

Rise of the Lord of Shadows[]

High Priestess Miko and her son Ryu once climbed Mount Huji on a mission to protect Hotto from the dragon's wrath. When it was defeated, its soul was transferred into Ryu, turning him into the monster itself. Ashamed of this, Miko lied about having defeated him, when in reality, she was looking for the Mirror of Ra to cure him. Miko then devised a rite of human sacrifice in order to keep Tatsunaga at bay, but when twin children discover that their mother is next to be sacrificed, they attempt to stop Miko using a monster carcass as a "guardian spirit" and wound her. This prompts Miko to request the Luminary’s aid in slaying the beast.

The spirit attacks, but the party is unfazed when "it" blows its cover to reveal the twins, who invite the party to their hideaway on Mount Huji, from which they observe Tatsunaga sleeping. Shortly thereafter, the wyrm wakes and, missing its ritual meal, turns its attention to Hotto.

As was feared by the townsfolk, Tatsunaga torches the village and wipes out its best soldiers before targeting the Luminary and his party. They battle the beast long enough to drive him back to Mount Huji, though not before Miko offers herself as the sacrifice, claiming Ryu is still within reach.

Weakened, Tatsunaga waits in the core of the active volcano, then launches his ultimate battle against the party. Though it is no easy feat, the Luminary prevails once more, releasing Ryu’s soul. Before he leaves for the beyond, Ryu recalls the story of the mirror and how it was to dispel the dragon curse once and for all.
