Complete Dragon Quest IV Part 17 walkthrough covering Alena's tournament battles and the start of Torneko's chapter, including item checklists.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Endor Town Enemies: Fight the enemies hanging out around Endor Town. With Alena at Level 12 or higher and the Iron Claw equipped, she should defeat them in about three to four hits. Heal back to 100% HP with a Medicinal Herb after the battle.
  2. 2
    Quick Draw McGore: This enemy hits a little harder. Use a Medicinal Herb during the battle if needed. McGore also drops a Medicinal Herb upon defeat. Heal to 100% HP after the fight.
  3. 3
    Prima Donna: This magic user has low MP. Defend yourself during her "Crack" attacks (which deal only 3 HP damage) until she runs out of MP. Then, attack her until she is defeated. She drops a Medicinal Herb; use it before the next opponent appears.
  4. 4
    Knight Samson: This strong fighter deals a lot of damage. Heal yourself with herbs as needed. He has about 100 HP and will be defeated after a reasonable number of attacks.
  5. 5
    Abominable Showman: Four Showmen appear, but only one is real. Attacking a fake Showman deals no damage. Always attack either the far-left or far-right Showman, as the real one tends to appear there. The Showman has about 80 HP.
  6. 6
    Psaro the Princess-Eating Manslayer: This powerful enemy does not appear, so you will not fight him.
  7. 7
    Win the Tournament: You win the tournament prize, the Princess of Endor.
  8. 8
    Collect Seeds: Put all collected seeds into your bag for the hero to use in the fifth chapter.
  9. 9
    Return to Tsar's Castle: Use the Zoom ability to return to the Tsar's castle. Check the throne room and Alena's room; they are empty.
  10. 10
    Investigate Alena's Room: Go to the balcony of Alena's room and jump down to the blue door. The room inside is empty.
  11. 11
    Exit to World Map: Head out to the world map to end the chapter.

Chapter Start: Torneko and the Extravagant Excavation

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Party Member: You will have only one party member, Torneko, who cannot heal himself except with healing items. Stock up on Medicinal Herbs from item shops in towns and villages before venturing out.
  2. 2
    Starting Items: Torneko wakes up in his bed and receives a [PACKED LUNCH] from his wife. Equip the [LEATHER HAT] from the locker to his right. Examine the barrels near his house to find a [MEDICINAL HERB].
  3. 3
    Lakanaba Town: Head to the very western end of Lakanaba.
