Tenton

Need help with Tenton in Dragon Quest XI S? This guide walks you through rescuing the Galapagod, battling monsters, and claiming your reward. Learn enemy weaknesses and strategies!

Alright, so you've made it pretty far in Dragon Quest XI S, huh? You've got the Ultimate Key and you're ready to dive back into Tickington. First things first, you'll need to head to Gondolia. Make sure you've cleared any story events there, then look for a locked door. Inside, you'll find a chest with a whopping 50,000G, and right near it, a small bench. That's where you'll find the Tockle chilling out. It can be a bit sneaky, so keep an eye out!

Now, let's get to Tenton. When you arrive, you can break some stuff around the village for a bit of gold and a Single Phial. Chat with the NPC in front of the main building – turns out their guardian, the Galapagod, has been nabbed by monsters and taken to Baramos’s Castle (the first one, thankfully!). The good news? No random encounters here, so you can just stroll through. Head towards the former king on his throne, then go through the double doors to the south. Outside, you'll see some monsters hassling the Galapagod to your left. Go ahead and talk to them to kick off a fight!

This fight might catch you off guard, even though they're regular monsters. You're up against a Wrecktor, a Heedoovoodoo, and a Leger-de-Man. Your top priority should be the Heedoovoodoo. It can cast Buff on its allies, making them tougher, and Fuddle to mess with your party. It also likes to cast curses. Seriously, take it out first! Having someone who can use Sap is super helpful here to counter Buff, especially since the Heedoo has pretty high defense with it. It might also use Moreheal, but that's less of a worry.

• Target Priority: Heedoovoodoo first (uses Buff, Fuddle, curses).
• Support: Use Sap to counter Buff.
• Heedoovoodoo: Can use Buff, Fuddle, curses, and Moreheal.
• Wrecktor: Can use Bounce (reflects magic) and Anathematise (lowers magic defense). Its main damaging spell is Boom.
• Leger-de-Man: Uses Kafrizz (single target) and Kacrack (hits all party members). Can also use Fizzle to stop spellcasting.
• Damage: Physical attacks aren't great due to high defense. Focus on skills like Jade's Pink Typhoon/Tornado, Sylvando's Gold Rush (fixed damage), or the Hero's Quadraslash. These aren't physical and bypass Buff.
• Healing: Keep your party's health above 200 HP.

Once you've dealt with them, you'll get a Zoomstone to warp back to Tenton. Chat with the questgiver, and you'll get your reward: a Pep Pop!
