Dragon Quest IX Post Game guide
First you need to solve quest number 39 to gain ability to fly. See this to know how to solve the quest. After you solve that quest go to Stornway, you can buy new armor and weapon from extra merchant in each shop (Gigant armor is nice 
).
Now Fly to Tower of Nod
It is located near Coffinwell and you must have ability to fly in order to reach it.
| Enemy | Drop list | Exp |
| killing machine | iron nails | 1880 |
| cumulus rex | thunderball | 1400 |
| freezing fog | ice crystal, sage’s elixir | 1360 |
| splatterhorn | magic beast horn | 980 |
| swinoceros | magic beast horn | 610 |
| metal king slime | slime crown | 120040 |
| drakulard | dragon scale | 3450 |
| stone guardian | resurrock | 2040 |
| gigantes | strength ring | 3200 |
The dungeon is pretty straightforward. You can get decent amount of experience here, many enemy groups give you about 2000-4000 exp to one character. There is also metal king slime in this place but it is very rare and very hard to kill. Metal king slime has about 12-14 HP, so good luck when you are trying to kill it.
Tips by Tuppup:
Metal king slimes can be easily killed with spear skill Thunder Thrust and axe skill Hatched Man. Both attacks are always critical, so if you manage to hit, it’ll be 1 hit kil
Just keep go upstairs until you reach L7. In L7 you can climb the vine to find sleeping Chimaera. For now you can’t do anything to it because the quest is still locked at the time I write this guide (need wi-fi).
So just exit this dungeon and you have beaten bonus dungeon in dragon quest IX. Now it is time to grind your character’s level in grotto and hunting ingredients for perfect equipment.
=======================================================
Other thing you can do after that:
- You can return to Realm of Almighty (when you are flying over in the world map try to disembark into impossible terrain and you will get this option). You can talk with Celestria and she will open a portal to send you to Realm of Mighty so you can re-fight with Corvus.
- There are many island that you can’t reach before because lack of transportation. Now you can Fly, so check my world map and visit many suspicious island. They usually lead you to another side quest or item. I haven’t explore them all, so I can’t write it here. For side quest i will add it on side quest section.
- You can reach level 99 on your vocation and then do revocation to Level 1. Skill points don’t lose so you can obtain all vocation abilities.
- Talk with queen, princess, and king in Stornway to obtain Treasure Map
I think that is all you can do after finished the game. Will update this guide when I found optional BOSS in normal map (I heard there is one in small snow island).

Equinox drops a treasure chest! Tom opens it up.
It contains a dragontail whip!
Aww.. Was hoping for Vesta gauntlets there..
Alright, I beat the game, Jona’s quest, and got Sterling’s but I have no idea what to do now. I’m kind of just wandering around aimlessly. I went to the Tower of Nod but the chimaera there was asleep and I couldn’t wake it up? What other quests (labeled STORY) are there to do???
Oh, also (a side note, I went to the Realm of the Almighty but there was NO ONE there. Where is Celestria???
you go all the way up to where you offered up the fyggs before
how do you get high level grotto maps because i always seem to get up to level 60 and then the dam game gives me a level 50 map
i got the quest to fight nodoph
first you need:
wifi to access quest 162
i forgot the other two quests the help you unlock quest 162 but one of them includes the mayoress in bloomingdale
like the stupid idiot that i am. i sold my miracle sword that i got from the pirate so now i cant do quest 121 does anyone know how i can get another one
well, by looking around grottos and constantly checking the blue chests in Gittingham palace, you can find another miracle sword…and that’s why i have three of them.
get an action replay they give you a code for all weapons it gives you 99 miracle swords
Only losers who don’t know how to play the game cheat .but anyway a miracle sword is very useful after u get ur stats to 999, I only have attack , defense and health to 999, but the miracle sword and falcon blade are the most usefull I don’t even use the supernova sword. I think grotto hunting is the most useful thing to do because you get alchemy ingredients and find platinum king jewels and depending on the grotto you can find the best weapens in blue chests and the way to get your defense and everything to 999 is by stealing seeds from monsters that you find .like the seed of defence is droped by a brownie .if you guys need anymore help just ask.:)
I went to the tower of Nod, and i went up to the slime for the quest, and he wouldn’t give me the quest can you help me i just want to defeat him
I have wi-fi, and ive connect to it weekly with DQ but for some reason the chimera sleeps always. Do i have to verify a quest to get him to waje up and get killed by me?
yeah you need to verify the quest
talk to wormwood’s mayor and complete his missions then travel to bloomingdale and talk to mayoress complete quest then go to nods tower and help slime dude
Where’s the wishmaster found
i found the wish master in a lv. 84 grotto the thing is, the grottos he is in have like 20 floors.
on the hill by gleeba (you need starflight) he will rarely appear
hey long time no post… I’m not sure how to do the cloudless Skye mission, I think it is the region of about 120 – 125 but I really don’t know how to do it… so if anyone can help thanks a lot
you have to kill cumulous rex outside of upover until it drops item, reward is astral plume
get on the train then go to the cave near angel falls there should be a women accept her quest then finish it then yo get metal slime helmet that will help your defence then after that go on your train and just south os swinedimples acadamy there is a house go in it and press a on the book shelf then you get a quest called ‘EXTERMINATE’ finish that quest then go back to the book shelf after youve done the quest then you get a metal slime shield .. hope that helps
HOw do I get wifi quests? When I go on dqvc I only get items to buy..
umm idk if u stil look at this but the dqvc gives u quests it just doesnt tell u but all the quests are under extra quests hope this helps =)
Do you have to buy the quests, and if so, around how much?
You don’t need to buy it. Just connect your dragon quest to nintendo wi-fi and it’ll download the quest automatically.
the name of the monster at the top of the tower of nod is named nod
I have completed game and done the quest to fly but cant figure out how to summon starflight? can anyone help?
just look in your bag or the items you carry, you have sterlings whistle there, use it and you summon the star.
u have 2 do organise items first though
I found YouTube videos that say celestria let’s u travel to the realm of memory to save Aquila and he joins ur team but no matter how many times I talk to her she just talks about the realm of might
You need to do all the extra quests first, then talk to pavo, she’ll tell u to get a pearl of something (forgot the name of it). then go talk to celestria.
can anybody tell me where to find a full list of locations for treasure maps,coz I just got this lvl 1 legacy boss map and I weely wanna go in it
I already listed in main manu right?? the one which leads to chinese site. You can also try gamefaqs
if its the one u get from quest in chronocrystal buying place for giving ethereal stone then its on the right side of dourbridge
i cant do quest but i finish the regaulur game
arrrrrrrggggggggg! (cough) i need to were to fine a moai minstrel i rewwy wanna be a luminary…… also grubby bandages? please help me with that
Moai minstrel can be found in higher level grottos. Bandages are dropped/stolen from mummy type monsters.
Bob – paladin class can be unlocked by completing quest #106; start the quest by speaking w/ the paladin on top of the bathhouse roof in Gleeba.
I just finished revocation for all 4 of my characters (10 times each). Instead of a green +1 or +2 next to your level, they now have a big yellow star. Looking forward to raiding grottos for rare items next.
BTW – from what I’ve read, you’ll need the paladin ability to defeat some of the harder legacy bosses at level 90+.
URGENT!!!!! Where do u find the yellow orb?(I think it’s from Mortamor and some other guy,where r they?)I need yellow orb because I found an angel’s robe and I think you need it to make the better kind ????????
it is dropped by high level legacy boss
actually i half-inched on murdaw lv. 1.
Yellow orbs are dropped by Mortamor and Murdaw.
K thanks(Kai I awesered ur revocation thing a little bit further down)
i hate post game now im alone in the game
and i caint go to the observitory wawawawsawawawawawawawwaawawaawaaw me sad
just do quest 39 to obtain flying ability
. you can go to observatory again after you have done that stuff. instead of playing pokemon> I recommend you to play final fantasy the 4 heroes of light ( I also make guide for this game too)
no u cant u can only go to realm of the mighty/almighty not the observatory. ( without cheats.)
U should focus on treasure maps the most,they give u great armour and weapons
Wait what!? How can you return to the observatory after you beat the game?
Just do quest 39 first and you will get ability to fly. And say no when you’re being asked to go into you r train so you can get an option that leads to realm of mighty.
I only need one more blue orb to make the extratoga, I’ve already tried to make the best kind 5 times , I have the worst luck >:(
I don’t have any orbs yet to make the really cool stuff. But what happens if you don’t save and just try to get the alchemy miracle again?
It makes u save before u do the alchemiracle :/
Oh what part of the game are u at?
Beat the game a few months ago. Now I’m working hard at party revocation. My gladiator, paladin and mage have gone through revocation 8 times each; 7 times for the sage. Will focus on grottos after I’m maxed out to get A and S rank maps.
Hmm well I have been focusing on grottos mostly I have really cool things like mythical armour,mesotoga,archangels robe,and all the best weapons exept the staff and claws.but I fail at revocating I’ve only done it once oh and I can’t find out where to turn into paladin? help plz
Check side quest between number 90-120 LOL. I totally forgot which quest it is. But the person reside in Gleeba castle.
K thanks
heh i acidently sold my hades helm and now i dont know if a can get anougther one heh hopefully i find one in a blue chest =0
lol, good luck to find that helm. You can get it from enemy drop IIRC. Check the bestiary section.
you can get one from a bad kamour below Gittingham Palace! It is rare though but possible.
P.S. you can get it through alchemy is well!
What do I do after I get the info about the gittish empire queen (stella) and give it to the guy in bloomingdale ( I think it’s quest 149)?
I haven’t done that quest
Do it and tell
Do the chances of getting orbs raise the higher level of the treasure map is?
no, but only high level legacy boss that drop orbs (CMIIW)
Um I have 3 legacy boss maps level 1 and they all have a 5% chance of dropping orbs, and when they reach level 16 their orb droping chance increases to 6% .
ok, thank you for your information
It depends on the legacy boss. some will raise slightly as they level or there drop rate is out of whack (like lvl 1=15% lvl 2=25 lvl 3=20). hope this helped.
Is anyone here on the legacy bosses in grottos?
I am i don’t know where Malroth’s map location is and i have found baramos but failling to beat him
Malroths location is below Slurry quay. Unless Legacy Boss maps are random. Then your screwed.
actually its under dourbridge on the RIGHT side
i am too so u can ask me to.
Well first u can fight metal king slimes in the tower of nod but it’s easier in grottos and metal king slimes are not the best platinum king slimes are they give you like 4x as much xp as metal king slimes , platinum king slimes can sometimes be found in grottos level 99. soo ya hope I helped
Thanks for the information
If you cant find metal king slimes go to the area outside the cave in the fields by angel falls, I have found all slimes there (including liquid metals)apart from king cureslimes and king metal slimes. Reply if you find a king metal there please.
You can’t find metal king slimes. If you are lucky you maty find trasure map (grottos) contain metal king slime inside
yah you can find them in tower of nod
I tried every party trick by the bird on top of the tower but they didnt work. I cannot find metal king slime anywhere but I herd they can be found in grottos.
It is a part from special quest (via wi-fi) so unless you download the quest you can’t fight the bird
THERE IS AN AR CODE FOR ALL QUESTS WITHOUT NEEDING WIFI, BUT YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE FIND IT!
what the hell is left i have beeten every monste and completed 1000 grotos
switch to another game:D.or restart it again from beginning, do some side quest.
How do you get treasures from grotto’s ‘cos ive done 7 and i haven’t got any treasures
They appear randomly. So I really can’t help you.
Treasure Eyesland is good to have, also nose for Treasure. Both of which are learned by your Theif.
I’m so annoyed with this manticore, whatever it is -_- we may not get the quest for god knows how long, and in the mean time I am stuck on the legacy bosses who always kill me -_-
Also a good way to pass the time is to go to the grottos and try to get items and level up in them.
Also, with regards to the Uncommon cold thing, there are mini bosses (that look like main bosses) throughout the game, e.g.
Uncommon Cold = Ragin’ Contagin’
Wishmaster = Gadrongo
Slugly Betsy = Larstastnaras
ect. you can probably find these monsters in a bestiary if you looked
Quest #162 – Do Nod Disturb, will come out on 12/10/2010. We’ll get to battle Nodoph at the top of the Tower of Nod then.
Tyranasauras wrecks (Quest 150) looks like Larstastnaras
theres also cannibelle which is morag
perhaps i can shed a little light on this whole MSK (metal slime king) problem i’ll explane:
you have a 0.1% cance of finding one, after you find one this decreses to 0.01
then after your next battle it goes to 0.001 and on
Thank you for your info. will add it to my guide later
where are you finding the metal king slime in the tower of nod. cuz I haven’t seen one.
i saw 1 just as i went up the stairs!!!!
when i went bak down i waited 4 half an hour and no metal king slime 4 me
lol, your luck must be has run out
it is pretty rare, so no wonder you get that experience
yesterday i found 1 with 2 killing machines and i found 1 in a grotto
YAY!!!!!! MY LUCK IS BACK
i spend 2 much time in that damn place and i can not find 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im so pissed
umm..I’ve been to Tower of Nod tons of time and have yet to see a Metal King Slime…am I missing something?
It is rare. only saw it once
ah, that might explain it, lol. thanks I’ll keep my eyes peeled.
Could you put a list of monsters and where you can finde them?
I mean all of the monsters from the game.
thanx
(Maybe that’s too hard..)
I already make bestiary section, I already write all monster section except one in grotto because they are too many.
To kill it I just use the claw skill flailing nails which hits 4 times, plus cruched ice (Staff) and metal slash (sword.)
This seems to work, until they run away, which they always do
use hatchet man(axe) or thunder thrust(spear) for best results
Is there a limit on how many times you can revocate? I read somewhere 9, but didn’t know if anyone knew for sure.
I don’t know because I never done it.
Do you know how many times you can re-fight Corvus?
As many as you want (CMIIW).Good luck
you can revocate every vocation 9 times thats a total of 108 times
you should add revocation to your list of things you can do after beating corvus
will add it thank you for your suggestion
i found a normal boss on an iland above swinedimpals and he is tough he looks like the ragin contagin
how do we find this boss??? Anything need to do before we can fight it???
Sorry, this isn’t a boss, just a fairly tough monster, called Uncommon Cold. You can find him on the island after the sun goes down, roaming the island among other monsters.
Sup,
There are monsters like this throughout the game, you just have to find them, here are three that i found
( by the way all of these hard monsters look like a main boss )
UNCOMMON COLD = RAGIN’ CONTAGIN’
SLUGLY BETSY = LARSTASTNARAS
WISHMASTER = GADRONGO
If you looked in a bestiary you could probably find them.
- If you find any more like this please post a reply
Cannibelle=Morag
They’re on the island near Stornway.
There is also Drakularge-Grand Lizzier without the pink bow.
is it called uncommon cold? if it is then its a regular monster.
I checked the Japanese site for DQ9, they indicated that there are a few bosses available in the post game action.
One is located in snow field…..did you find any?
I didn’t find any, I even haven’t find on in the snow field
you can tell me if you don’t mind so i can update the walktrhough
They are part of the DQVC quests.
Did you know about the secret shop in dourbridge? If you go north past the item shop and go right at the wall you can go in a secret room. Then go down the stairs. You need ultimate key though
I already mention that when you get ultimate key. Thanks
I still cant find the metal king slime
well it is all depends on your luck. My self only have encountered it once. Try to bring lower level characters/parties.
um i keep fight equinox why stil him ive faced him in 4 differant quests
Yeah grotto boss is can be same so don’t need to worry just keep beating the boss to get new treasures and you will eventually fight another boss
it seems 4 me that platnum king slimes appear more than king metal slimes.
I found them in a water grotto level 52..
Hi
In L7 of tower of Nob, you can climb the vine to find sleeping Chimaera. For now you can’t do anything to it because the quest is still locked.
What does this mean it’s locked? When can we access to it?
Thanks
sorry for my english locked=unavailable. Nintendo unlock some quest every week. I don’t know how to because I don’t have wi-fi.
If you can use Ar code you can unlock this quest.
doesnt the thing on the roof of tower of nod look like a nemean
yeah it looks like nemean but it is not nemean. You need to download the quest via wi-fi
i dont have wi-fi at all so HUGE bummer
when u meet certain conditions aquila & corvus come and join your party you become a full celestreian again and you can get the quest from erin/ patty thats what i did.
how do you get corvus to join your team???
Can you please post more information on the post game part, such as what else we can do?
Thanks
working on it. I think post game is only tower of nod and grottos. Also when you can fly over the world map you can land on many cavern you can’t reach before.
Hey I’ve been looking around all floors in the tower an I can’t find any king metal slimes all I find is normal spawn monsters such as the cyclops upgraded the mechas the demons and the rinos
you can find it on 3rd floor (I found it there)
Whoo Hoo!!! I just fought a platinum king slime!!!
Metal king slimes can be easily killed with spear skill Thunder Thrust and axe skill Hatched Man. Both attacks are always critical, so if you manage to hit, it’ll be 1 hit kill
ok thanks for your tips. will add it in my guide. Unlucky for me because i never train axe as my weapon T T
lol. that is nice to have but all my guys crit alot and mks seem to stay with me 3-4 turns most of the time
My way of killing metal slimes is using moves that hit multiple times such as multifists falcon slash and rain of pain
I find uber falcon blade and metal slash helpful because it almost always hits and does (for me) 2-5 damage per hit, TWICE.
An easy way to kill lms’s is get 3-4 party members with boomerang and learn metallicker. This helps with large amounts of metal families.
To earn easy skill poimts, change vocation to a low level one and level grind on that to earn your desired skill point and cancel very skill allocation, then switch back to main vocation go to misc, allocate skill points click on your changed character and add them all on. Btw I haven’t revocated yet, any tips to help
whoever you wanted to use axe skill (i.e. gladiator), change their vocation and dont use skill points. when you have enough, switch back to regular vocation and go to misc -> allocate skill points and whoever changed and give them skill points. There! easy as pie.
