Moonahan: Altar Of The Legendary Line

Guide to completing the "Curing the Curse of the Curs" quest in Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age — Definitive Edition. Learn how to get Magic Water and break the curse on Moonahan.

Alright, so you've stumbled upon Moonahan in Tickington, huh? It's a bit of a weird one – everyone's turned into dogs! Don't worry, we can sort this out. First things first, we need to find the 'pastword' to even get into this quest properly.

Where to find the Pastword: Head back to the Gallopolis Region. Look for the southern campfire. You'll spot a little red creature called a 'tockle' hanging around. Just chat with it, and it'll spill the beans on the pastword you need.

Walkthrough:

Once you've got the pastword and selected Moonahan at the Altar of the Legendary Line, you'll warp in. You'll see all the townsfolk have been turned into dogs, except for one poor soul. Talk to them! They'll explain the whole curse situation and how they need your help. To break it, you'll need to accept the quest Curing the Curse of the Curs from the Princess of Moonbrooke.

Now, about that Magic Water you need for the quest: if you've been thorough with your looting, you might already have a couple from the Kingsbarrow dungeon. If not, don't sweat it! You can also grab one in Gondolia later on. But if you're in a hurry and need one now, the Prestidigitator enemies drop it as a rare item. Your best bet for finding a bunch of them is the northern part of the Gallopolis Region, near the Ancient Ruins. Just keep at it, and you'll snag one.

Once you've got your hands on a Magic Water, head back to Moonahan and give it to the NPC there. Boom! Quest complete. As a reward, you'll snag a pretty neat Devil’s Tail accessory.
