Guide to finding the Seven Orbs in Dragon Quest VIII. Learn where each orb is located and how to get the Godbird Sceptres from Empyrea.
Welcome to the obligatory Fetch Quest of the game. You basically need to find Seven Orbs that represent the Seven Sages. This quest is pretty easy as all the orbs are located where the descendants were killed off. This part of the game is a let down as there are no cutscenes so you are just wasting time looking for items that could have been made available through regular story progression. If you are lost, which I hope you aren't, then you can use the Echo Flute and it will chime if there's an orb nearby
Here's where to find each orb:
| Orb | Location |
| Purple Orb | Rylus' House in Farebury |
| Blue Orb | Top Floor of Tower of Alexandria |
| Gold Orb | Second Floor of Abbot's Residence at Maella Abbey |
| Yellow Orb | Second Floor of Cash & Carrie's Residence at Baccarat |
| Green Orb | Beside Sir Leopold's Cage in Arcadia |
| Red Orb | Outside of Marta's Cave |
| Silver Orb | Second Floor of Lord High Priest's Residence |
I highly recommend Healing and Saving at this point of the game. Maybe even make a backup save too.
Once you've collected all seven orbs, return to Empyrea at the Isolated Plateau. She will give you Four Godbird Sceptres, which are essential for the final battle. Make sure you have a free inventory slot for the Sceptres, as you cannot progress to the final boss without one.
After the scene, you'll be automatically transported to Rhapthorne.
