Explore the Necrogond Region in Dragon Quest III. Find treasures like Oomph Powder and face the Garboyle boss. Includes enemy list and walkthrough.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From Asham, sail south to find Sparkly Spot #100, which contains a Turban, 1,258 gold, and four Musks. This spot may also grant the achievement Sparkle Spotter if it is your 100th interaction with a sparkly spot.
  2. 2
    Continue sailing south until you reach an intersection. Sail northwest to the next intersection, then south until you see a volcano.
  3. 3
    Disembark your ship and approach the southern side of the volcano. Enter and follow the linear path to the summit.
  4. 4
    Interact with the crater and select "Yes" to throw the Mountaincleaver into the volcano. This will trigger a cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) and initiate a boss battle against the Garboyle.
  5. 5
    After defeating the Garboyle, search the northwest side of the area for the Friendly Monster Magmalice (Bernie).
  6. 6
    Return to the crater and select "Yes" again to throw the Mountaincleaver into the volcano. A cutscene will play, showing the volcano erupting and creating a new path.
  7. 7
    Walk south across the newly formed path. Follow the southern mountains east to find Sparkly Spot #102, containing Dazzle-Me-Not, Seed of Luck, and Fading Jenny.
  8. 8
    Continue south through the narrow pathway until you reach poisonous swamps. Search the west swamp for Sparkly Spot #103, which contains Antidotal Herb, Antidotal Herb, Tangleweb, and Seed of Life.
  9. 9
    Keep heading west until you reach the entrance to the Maw of the Necrogond.
