Follow this walkthrough for Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age — Definitive Edition to escape the Heliodor Sewers, evade guards, and survive a Black Dragon encounter.
Walkthrough
- 1After Hendrick leaves, you'll be in a prison cell. Smash the two pots, then approach the cell door to meet another prisoner who will help you escape.
- 2Once your gear is back, talk to the other prisoner again to find a hidden passage into the sewers.
- 3In the sewers, head right at the first intersection to find a Sparkly Spot containing a Medicinal Herb. A locked door is nearby; you'll need a key to proceed through it later.
- 4Take the other path and follow the linear route until you reach a bridge where soldiers will catch up. If caught, you'll fight them (they are not difficult, but keep an eye on your HP and heal when necessary). Your partner will assist, but you cannot control him.
- 5Continue to the next intersection and take a right. Follow your partner, using crates for cover and timing your movements to sneak past guards.
- 6The final guard requires waiting for him to walk north, dashing to crates on the right, then waiting for him to walk back before proceeding north.
- 7Follow the path to a bridge that collapses, sending you and your pursuers into the caves below.
- 8You'll find a Goddess Statue to save your game.
- 9Head forward into the caves. A Black Dragon will appear; flee from it by dashing towards the screen.
- 10Continue dashing to avoid the dragon and other monsters. The dragon will breathe fire, which you narrowly avoid.
- 11Alerted soldiers will continue their pursuit. A ledge offers the only way forward, leading to a plunge into the water below.
Tips
- You are not strong enough to fight the Black Dragon at this point; fleeing is the only option.
- Pay attention to your HP during any fights with soldiers and heal before it drops too low.
- Achievement: A Close Call (10 points)
