Dragon Quest VI: Find Gustbluster & Stinkerbell

AntMag.NET

Quick summary

To find Gustbluster and Stinkerbell, head west from Madame Luca after declining her help. Look for a rocky mountain to the southwest and a checkpoint. Pass through it and continue to Howcastle. Alternatively, sail south and west from the Forest Church to find an island with stairs leading to the other world. Walk east to the Howsworth Checkpoint, which is now open. Witness the Slime Knight and find an Inn (60 Gold) and a MINI MEDAL in the kitchen pot. Continue south to the hamlet of Howsworth. The castle is southwest. In the top right house, an old man explains the situation, and you can find a MOONWORT BULB in a chest of drawers. Answer 'yes' to a farmer's questions for fun. The left house is a cheap Inn (10 Gold each), with a MINI MEDAL in a barrel behind the desk. The shop is to the right of the church steps, selling basic supplies. Inside the church, learn about Hallow Cave, the location for the royal test, found between the southern mountain ranges. Be cautious of Stinkerbell mages, who use powerful magic and defend against physical attacks.
