Learn how to resolve the kidnapping in Wellshire in Dragon Quest VI, including the 5,000 Gold ransom and boss fight.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After regaining visibility, walk to Alltrades Abbey and leap down the well to return to the other world.
  2. 2
    Zoom to Haggleton and walk north-west to find the hole in the ground where you previously rescued Cliff.
  3. 3
    Fall down the hole to land next to Wellshire.
  4. 4
    Enter Wellshire and purchase better equipment, such as the Edged Boomerang (1500 Gold) for Hero, Sledgehammer (1800 Gold) for Carver, and the Gold Bracer (350 Gold) accessory for anyone.
  5. 5
    Enter the second house to the right of the top left shop and speak to the husband about the Chief needing money.
  6. 6
    Speak to the man with a green hat outside the large house, who will mention the Chief's daughter is missing.
  7. 7
    Enter the Chief's house and speak to the Mayor to learn that the daughter has been kidnapped and a ransom of 5,000 Gold Coins is demanded at the well north of town.
  8. 8
    Leave Wellshire and head for the house at the north-east of the map.
  9. 9
    Talk to the lout leaning against the hut and say Yes.
  10. 10
    When the other rogue appears with Cynthia, say No to handing over the cash to initiate a battle.
  11. 11
    Alternatively, you can choose to pay the ransom of 5,000 Gold Coins.

Boss Battle - Bigg and Liddle:

Warning: If you choose to fight, ensure your team is around levels 13/13/8 with the best available equipment.

  1. Start the battle by casting Sap on both enemies.
  2. Have Milly cast Buff on your party.
  3. Carver should use his Flying Knee attack.
  4. Consider defending when Bigg prepares a powerful attack.
  5. Be aware that Liddle may cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) Bigg, causing your attacks to hit Liddle instead.
  6. Focus attacks on Liddle to defeat him quickly as he has less HP.
  7. Bigg's dangerous skill is a loud shout that may cause a character to be frozen with fear.
  • Beating Bigg and Liddle yields 825 experience points per person and 374 Gold Coins. They also drop a treasure chest containing a pair of Boxer Shorts.
  • After the battle, speak to the Mayor. If you tell him you paid the ransom yourself, you will receive 5,000 Gold Coins and a Seed of Life.
  • If you tell the Mayor you defeated the kidnappers (even if you paid the ransom), you will still receive the Seed of Life. If you tell the truth about not paying the ransom, he will give you a Seed of Life but no Gold.
  • If you paid the ransom and tell the Mayor you did, you will get the money back and the Seed of Life.
  • If you told the Mayor you beat them up, when in fact you paid the ransom, he gives you the Seed of Life and a Prayer Ring when you meet him back in town.
Tips
  • The Edged Boomerang (1500 Gold) is available for Hero and targets a group of enemies.
  • The Sledgehammer (1800 Gold) is available for Carver.
  • The Gold Bracer (350 Gold) provides +15 DEF and +20 Style, and can be equipped by any character.
  • The Prayer Ring heals MP by the same amount as a Magic Water but breaks after a few uses.
  • After this event, Wellshire is added to your list of locations accessible via Zoom.
