Master Chapter III of Dragon Quest Heroes with our guide to Colissean Champions. Learn strategies for defending gates, protecting the Mayor, and defeating arena monsters.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Across the Shifting Sands: Defend the gates. Alena and Kiryl join the party. Travel via the airship Stonecloud. Beware of quicksand, which slows movement; Fishnet Stockings offer no significant advantage.
  2. 2
    Meeting the Mayor: Protect the Mayor at the water fountain. Monsters attack the gates of Colissea. Defend the mayor by pushing back monster waves, using coup de grâce attacks and special abilities. Prioritize taking down mawkeepers once the mayor's area is secure. The mayor rewards the party with Healstones, which function like carry-able medicinal herbs that cost gold to restock.
  3. 3
    Colissea's Leafy Lifeline: Defend the World Tree root in the eastern district and arena. This mission serves to prepare players for upcoming plot developments.
  4. 4
    The Arena of Conflict: Defeat three metal monstrosities in the arena. Use the Zap spell to stun them, making them vulnerable. Time stuns to interrupt powerful attacks, especially when they glow pink. Break vases for pick-me-ups.
Tips
  • Ensure at least one character can learn the Zap spell before the arena battle, as it's effective for stunning mechanical enemies.
  • If your main character doesn't have Zap, bring a secondary knight captain who does.
  • Spend skill points before the arena battle.
  • Check vases in the arena for items.
  • After clearing the arena, speak with the Clerk of Works and Questmistress.
  • Consider running quests like "Greedy for Ingredients 1" and "Improving on Perfection 1." All quests are eventually accessible.
  • Spend mini medals at King Flaminio for upgrades. Consider purchasing the recipe for the mugger's mask if you have the required ingredients (3x snakeskin, 2x slipweed) or are willing to pay mini medals.
  • "Greedy for Ingredients 1" requires three grubby bandages to increase ingredient carrying capacity.
  • "Improving on Perfection 1" requires three lumps of iron ore to increase monster minion slots.
