Discover the treasures and enemies on Southern Island in Dragon Quest VIII. Find 950G, Fresh Milk, and encounter various monsters like Cureslime and King Slime.

Your next destination is the small island located directly south of Neos. It's recommended to use the Zoom spell to travel to Neos, which will cause your ship to spawn to the south, making it easier to reach the island. Upon arrival, you'll find a treasure chest situated along the eastern wall containing 950G. Additionally, an Infamous Monster can be encountered here. Near the northern part of the island, you can find a cow from which you can obtain Fresh Milk. The cow should be easily visible if you docked your ship at the northern section of the island.
