All Puff-Puff Locations in Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age
Puff-Puffs are a unique collectible in Dragon Quest XI S, offering a temporary stat boost to the character who partakes. Finding all of them is a fun side activity and contributes to a more complete playthrough. This guide details the locations of these hidden buffs, ensuring you don't miss any opportunities to enhance your party's capabilities.
The journey to Yggdrasil and the subsequent events in the Heart of Yggdrasil mark the end of Act 1. Following this, Act 2 begins, where you'll have the opportunity to play as each companion and complete their individual side stories, ultimately leading to the 'Light of Hope' trophy. This act also opens up new areas and opportunities for finding collectibles like Puff-Puffs.
The six colored orbs are crucial story items, each found in specific locations or earned through narrative progression. These include the Red Orb in Terra Incognita, the Yellow Orb after completing events in Dundrasil, the Green Orb during the 'Sea-Crossed Lovers' events, the Silver Orb in Eerie Eyrie, the Blue Orb from 'Ice-Breaker' events, and the Purple Orb in Zwaarsdrust Ruins, requiring the Magic Key obtained after 'Dark Art' events.
While the primary focus of this section is Puff-Puffs, it's worth noting their connection to other collectibles and achievements. The 'Dedicated Follower of Fashion' trophy, for instance, requires collecting all appearance-altering equipment, which can sometimes be found alongside or in similar locations to other hidden items. Always be on the lookout for sparkles and interactable objects in the environment.
