This section covers the Zwaardsrust Region, Dundrasil Region (Eastern Section), and Octagonia (1st Visit) in Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age. It details enemies, item locations, and quest steps.

Zwaardsrust Region

  • Bite Bulb
  • Great Sabrecat
  • Cyclown
  • Tap Devil
  • Grim Gryphon
  • Deadnaut
  • Stone Golem

Bite Bulbs can inflict sleep on your whole party, making them dangerous with tougher enemies. Hocus Chimeras can inflict confusion on a single ally. Deadnauts are encountered at night and often part of a sidequest. Hoods also appear only at night in the northern part of the map. Stone Golems are rare in the ruins and look more dangerous than they are.

Walkthrough: Zwaardsrust Region

  1. Look inside the hut on the beach for minor loot.
  2. Head north and speak to the weathercow when the area opens up.
