Learn how to unlock the ship in Dragon Quest II HD-2D Remake. This guide covers the Pillar of the Winds, Dragon's Horn, and the boss fight against Twisted Sister and Mummy Deerest.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Obtain the Windbraker from the Pillar of the Winds dungeon.
  2. 2
    Use the Windbraker to cross a gap and reach the land north of the Dragon’s Horn (South). The tower near where you land, the Northern Dragon’s Horn, is optional.
  3. 3
    Travel to the coastal town of Rippleport.
  4. 4
    Approach the large building in Rippleport for a scene, which directs you to the Mountains North of Rippleport.
  5. 5
    Prepare for a challenging fight and head to the Mountains North of Rippleport.
  6. 6
    Defeat the bosses: Twisted Sister and Mummy Deerest, along with two Gremlins.
  7. 7
    Return to Rippleport and speak to the mayor to report your success.
  8. 8
    After a few more scenes, you will be granted a ship and can set sail.
Tips
  • Before heading to the Mountains North of Rippleport, ensure your party is fully healed.
  • The Mummy Deerest hits hard with physical attacks and can inflict paralysis.
  • Gremlins use normal attacks or Fire Breath, which hits the entire party for about 10 damage. Take them out first as they have low HP.
  • Twisted Sister can use Dazzle, Sap, Sizzle (area-of-effect damage), and Heal. She can act twice per round, potentially using Heal twice.
  • Focus fire on the Twisted Sister after defeating the Gremlins.
  • The Mummy Deerest has more HP than the Twisted Sister and hits single targets, making it easier to manage than potential Sizzles from the Twisted Sister.

Where to Go After Getting the Ship:

  1. Check the world map for the Dragon’s Horn dungeons southwest of Rippleport. Sail between them and follow the coastline south to a small island west of Oasis. This is the Isle of the Monarch of Medals, where Mini Medals are turned in.
  2. Head east from Rippleport to find the continent of Alefgard. Follow the western coastline to the northwestern tip to find Galenholm.
  3. From Galenholm, explore Alefgard to find Tantegel and start a scenario.
  4. After completing the Tantegel scenario, do the Shrine of Rain to begin Sigil Hunting.
  5. Travel to Burrowell (south, towards the center of the world map).
  6. Go to Zahan (southeastern corner) for the third scenario.
  7. After Zahan, head towards Beran for the final scenario, which will unlock the fourth party member.
