Find treasure like the Iron Cuirass and defeat the Third Test boss in Dragon Quest VI's Underground Level 4. Get the Magic Key.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the small ledge, take either set of steps and walk down the cavern away from the blue enemy.
  2. 2
    Open the three treasure chests: the right one contains an [IRON CUIRASS], the middle one a [MINI MEDAL], and the left one is a Cannibox.
  3. 3
    Defeat the Cannibox with ordinary attacks to get a guaranteed Seed of Agility.
  4. 4
    Heal everyone before approaching the final boss.
  5. 5
    BOSS - THIRD TEST: Begin by casting Kabuff on the team. The boss will cast Kasap, so counter it with Kabuff. Focus on healing and defense. The boss uses a powerful physical attack on one target, a lightning magic attack that damages the whole party for 30-50 HP, and a spell called "Bound" that reflects spells.
  6. 6
    Continue casting Kabuff each round to counter the boss's Kasap and maintain defense.
  7. 7
    Heal your party consistently, especially if the boss's defense-lowering spells are active.
  8. 8
    Defeat the Third Test boss to receive 1250 experience points and 600 Gold Coins.
  9. 9
    Enter the final door and speak to Howie.
  10. 10
    Cast Evac for a quick getaway and Zoom back to the castle.
  11. 11
    Speak to people on the way to the King's hall.
  12. 12
    The Prince will give you his "Proof of Passage" to the King.
  13. 13
    After a night in the castle, speak to the King again.
  14. 14
    Answer the King's questions as you wish; he will give you the [MAGIC KEY].
  15. 15
    Place the Magic Key in the first available inventory space, then move it to your bag.
Tips
  • The Cannibox is not mandatory to open, but defeating it yields a Seed of Agility.
  • If the boss lowers your defense, physical attacks can be deadly without a Yggdrasil Leaf.
  • If you missed any treasure inside the Hollow, you can return after the Rite is completed without Howie and access all the doors.
