Guide to defeating The Stranger boss in Dragon Quest VII's Grondal scenario, collecting Dew of Life, and curing the villagers.
Walkthrough
- 1Defeat The Stranger. He attacks twice per turn, dealing 20-25 damage with normal attacks or by throwing his lamp. Use Sap to speed up the battle, Buff to increase defenses, and keep HP up.
- 2After the battle, check on the girl and carry her back to the hut.
- 3Rest with your party and speak with the girl again. She will ask you to collect dew from the tree's leaves using the Pixie Pitcher near the pots.
- 4Pick up the pitcher and go outside. Interact with the spot where drops fall to collect Dew of Life.
- 5Bring the Dew of Life back to the girl. She will ask you to use it to cure the villagers.
- 6Return to Grondal and try to offer the Dew of Life to the villagers by using it as an item when standing next to them. They will reject it.
- 7Give the Dew of Life to the mayor in his house. He will be cured and ask you to pour the rest into the well.
- 8Try to use the Dew of Life next to the well. A hooded figure will stop you, accusing you of poisoning the townspeople.
- 9With the villagers surrounding the well, find another way to get the dew into the water supply.
- 10Return to the mayor, who will mention the well is connected to the underground waterways.
- 11Go back to the Ygg tree and talk to the girl, who will open a path to the underground waterways.
- 12Enter the hole to find yourself in the next dungeon.
