Complete The Tower in dragon quest vii. Defeat Golem, Crabble-rouser, and Maeve, and collect the Green and Red Fragments.
- Hanlon is in your party.
Walkthrough
- 1Fight the Golem. It only uses a physical attack that deals around 11-12 damage at level 5. Hanlon can help by using Sap to reduce the Golem's defense. Use Flame Slash with Kiefer, Frizz with Maribel, and attack with the Hero when healing isn't needed.
- 2Defeat the Golem to receive a Green Fragment.
- 3Return to Ballymolloy to refill HP and MP and purchase new equipment from the vendor.
- 4Head back to The Tower and enter the door the Golem was blocking.
- 5Progress through the first two screens, taking the stairs to the next area.
- 6In the third area, open the chest at the northern end for a Bronze Knife (equip to Maribel). Collect the Red Fragment next to it.
- 7Take the northeastern stairs to a small room with a chest containing a Leather Shield and a pot with 5 gold coins.
- 8Return to the previous room and take the other stairs.
- 9Follow the path to a large room with multiple paths; head straight to the stairs to the next floor.
- 10On the next floor, open two chests containing a Seed of Resilience and 80 gold coins.
- 11Take the stairs to reach the room with the next boss.
- 12Fight the Crabble-rouser. It can defend, mitigating damage. Use skills like Maribel's Frizz. Its attacks include a physical attack dealing around 15 damage and Frizz. Keep your health up with Hero's Heal and Medicinal Herbs. Hanlon's physical attacks and Sap are also useful.
- 13After defeating Crabble-rouser, a cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) will play, revealing the culprit, leading to the boss fight against Maeve.
- 14Fight Maeve. She primarily defends and wastes turns. Attack her until she is defeated. You can use the Wooden Doll item to end the battle immediately.
- 15After plot developments, the land around Ballymolloy is freed from darkened skies. Exit The Tower and return to Ballymolloy.
- 16Talk to Patrick in front of his house. After scenes, Hanlon will leave your party.
- 17Check the forest to find Patrick by the gravestones and give him the Wooden Doll if you wish.
- 18Return to where you first dropped into this area to find a portal that will bring you back to your era.
