Part 15

Your Dragon Quest IV Part 15 guide covers the Desert Bazaar, the Nectar Tower, and finding the Birdsong Nectar to help the Tsar. Get all the items and tips!

Alright, so you've dealt with those kidnappers and got the Armlet of Transmutation. They've skedaddled, leaving behind a fake Tsar's daughter. Turns out her name is Anya, and she's just a regular entertainer who likes to play dress-up. She'll give you a [THIEF'S KEY] and then bounce. You should be sitting pretty with a good chunk of change after that Vault of Vrenor escapade, so it's a great time to grab an [IRON LANCE] for Kiryl and a [CHAIN SICKLE] for Alena. They're solid upgrades!

Walkthrough:

1. Where: South of the Vault of Vrenor.

   What: You'll see a desert. Head into the bazaar you can spot from the world map. Make sure you arrive during the day.

   What to do: Once inside, go to the center of the bazaar. You'll find barrels containing a [SEED OF STRENGTH], a [MEDICINAL HERB], and some... [HORSE MANURE]. Yep, that's a thing.

2. Where: Desert Bazaar.

   What: The weapon shop and a tent.

   What to do: Grab the [POISON MOTH KNIFE] for Borya at the weapon shop. Then, head to the tent at the northern end of the bazaar to find a [SEED OF AGILITY].

3. Where: Desert Bazaar, near the horse manure.

   What: A guard is waiting.

   What to do: Speak with the guard. He'll tell you the Tsar has fallen ill! That's your cue to hurry back to the castle.

   Why this way: You need to know about the Tsar's condition to progress the story.

4. Where: Taborov Village graveyard.

   What: The upper tombstone.

   What to do: On your way back to the castle, pass through Taborov Village. Visit the graveyard and check behind the upper tombstone to find a [SEED OF LIFE].

5. Where: The Tsar's castle.

   What: The Tsar's room and your room.

   What to do: Head inside the castle and talk to the Tsar. He's lost his voice! He'll ask you to find an old man who might know what to do. Go upstairs and use your [THIEF'S KEY] to open the Tsar's room (only works during the day). Inside his locker, you'll find [30 COINS]. Now, go to your own room, head through the hole in the wall, and jump down from the balcony like you did at the start of the game. Open the blue door in front of you. Inside, examine the drawers for a [SEED OF RESILIENCE] and a [CHIMAERA WING]. Finally, talk to the old man.

   Why this way: The old man is the next step in finding a cure for the Tsar.

6. Where: The old man's room.

   What: An old man.

   What to do: The old man explains that a poet named Josef might have the solution. You need to head to Zalenagrad, the town west of the castle.

7. Where: Zalenagrad, church roof.

   What: Josef, the poet.

   What to do: Enter the church in Zalenagrad and use the stairs at the eastern end to reach the roof. Josef is there and will tell you that
