Guide to finding the Magic Marionette in Dragon Quest VI. Learn how to reach this location south of Alltrades Abbey, navigate its dangers, and find valuable treasures.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the Abbey, head north to find a floating island.
  2. 2
    Sail west, then north around the headland.
  3. 3
    Continue south until you reach a narrow spit of wooded land to the west and a gap to the east.
  4. 4
    Use the 'Y' button to reveal a well on the map to the east.
  5. 5
    Land on the shore and head east over hilly ground to find the well entrance.
  6. 6
    Enter the well. Beware of tough enemies; Evac cannot be used here. Plan your attacks carefully, using Kabuff against desperate attacks and being mindful of Jumping Jackal's vortex spells, Dreameara's sleep spells, and the Marionette's MP reduction. Mixed enemy groups can be dangerous, so having multiple characters with Zing is recommended.
  7. 7
    Walk right and up, past steps into the water, to speak with a soldier searching for legendary treasures.
  8. 8
    Continue to find a treasure chest containing [3700 GOLD COINS].
  9. 9
    Proceed down the passage and through the water to find a second chest with a [MINI MEDAL].
  10. 10
    Head left through the water, go back up to the small steps, and arrive to the right of the well entrance.
  11. 11
    Go left and exit the area.
