After dealing with the initial events in Stornway, your next major destination is the town of Coffinwell, located to the west. The people of Stornway will speak of a strange illness plaguing Coffinwell, and it's your duty as a Celestrian to investigate. This quest will involve exploring a dungeon and facing your first significant boss battle. Ensure your party is well-equipped and adequately leveled before venturing out.
While Dragon Quest IX focuses on a localized epidemic in Coffinwell, Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age features a globally devastating blight during its second act.
While Dragon Quest IX focuses on a Celestrian’s duty, Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince shifts the perspective to monster synthesis and tactical battling within the same expansive universe.
