Find treasure like the Iron Cuirass and defeat the Third Test boss in Dragon Quest VI's Underground Level 4. Get the Magic Key.
Walkthrough
- 1From the small ledge, take either set of steps and walk down the cavern away from the blue enemy.
- 2Open the three treasure chests: the right one contains an [IRON CUIRASS], the middle one a [MINI MEDAL], and the left one is a Cannibox.
- 3Defeat the Cannibox with ordinary attacks to get a guaranteed Seed of Agility.
- 4Heal everyone before approaching the final boss.
- 5BOSS - THIRD TEST: Begin by casting Kabuff on the team. The boss will cast Kasap, so counter it with Kabuff. Focus on healing and defense. The boss uses a powerful physical attack on one target, a lightning magic attack that damages the whole party for 30-50 HP, and a spell called "Bound" that reflects spells.
- 6Continue casting Kabuff each round to counter the boss's Kasap and maintain defense.
- 7Heal your party consistently, especially if the boss's defense-lowering spells are active.
- 8Defeat the Third Test boss to receive 1250 experience points and 600 Gold Coins.
- 9Enter the final door and speak to Howie.
- 10Cast Evac for a quick getaway and Zoom back to the castle.
- 11Speak to people on the way to the King's hall.
- 12The Prince will give you his "Proof of Passage" to the King.
- 13After a night in the castle, speak to the King again.
- 14Answer the King's questions as you wish; he will give you the [MAGIC KEY].
- 15Place the Magic Key in the first available inventory space, then move it to your bag.
Tips
- The Cannibox is not mandatory to open, but defeating it yields a Seed of Agility.
- If the boss lowers your defense, physical attacks can be deadly without a Yggdrasil Leaf.
- If you missed any treasure inside the Hollow, you can return after the Rite is completed without Howie and access all the doors.
