Explore Heliodor in Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age — Definitive Edition

AntMag.NET

Heliodor is a large city with many shops, hidden items, and NPCs. Before visiting the King, it is advised to fully explore the city as access will be restricted later. To start, head north past the fountain to find a man near the castle stairs who offers Quest 02 - The Soldier and the Strategist - A Tale of Two Heroes. He asks you to find a book detailing the exploits of Hendrick and Jasper. The book can be found by searching a bookshelf in the house furthest east.
