106. Taking Soul Control

Learn how to complete Dragon Quest IX Quest 106, 'Taking Soul Control,' in Gleeba. Master the Whipping Boy skill to unlock the Paladin class!

Alright, let's tackle Quest #106, "Taking Soul Control." This one's all about unlocking the Paladin class, which is a pretty sweet deal. You'll find the quest giver, Brunhild, chilling on the roof of the palace in Gleeba. You can pick this one up as soon as you arrive in town.

The main goal here is to use the Warrior skill, [Whipping Boy](https://dragonquest.fandom.com/wiki/Whipping_Boy "Whipping Boy"), to take 10 hits that were meant for your other party members. It sounds simple, but you'll need to be strategic about it.

Brunhild mentions you'll be doing this in the [Djust Desert](https://dragonquest.fandom.com/wiki/Djust_Desert "Djust Desert"). The best way to get this done efficiently is to find a group of monsters, or monsters that tend to attack multiple times. This way, you can rack up those hits quickly. Just remember to keep an eye on your own health while you're playing protector!

Once you've successfully protected your allies ten times using Whipping Boy, head back to Brunhild in Gleeba. You'll be rewarded with the ability to become a Paladin, which is a fantastic defensive and supportive class. Good luck!
