  • Speak to Galen again to put the spir­its to rest and receive one densini­um.

• Curse Got Your Tongue? (Tan­ta­gel) 
  • Speak to Princess Gwaelin (don’t for­get to loot the 2 chests). She asks you to find spec­trum nec­tar because a fiend named The End of Time has cursed the King, her father, and he can no longer speak.
  • You must defeat Calas­mos
  • Upon enter­ing Tick­ing­ton after­wards, spec­trum nec­tar will be award­ed to you.
  • Give it to Princess Gwaelin to com­plete this quest (and like­ly the last Tick­ing­ton quest!) and receive Pal­li­um Regale (cos­tume for Rab)

Altar of the Leg­endary Line

Drag­on Quest II: Lumi­nar­ies of the Leg­endary Line

Three Lumi­nar­ies vs Har­gon

• A Rob­bery in Ren­darak (Cave Lead­ing to Ren­darak)
  • Talk to the sol­dier. Learn that a Rest­less Armour has stolen Erdrick­’s equip­ment set and adorned itself with it. Take back the Soul Sig­il, Erdrick­’s Armour, and‘ Thun­der­bolt Blade, oth­er­wise his Majesty the Prince of Miden­hall can’t get them when he and his team­mates come look­ing!
  • Make your way through to cave, being care­ful of the pit­falls, and ran­dom encounter mon­sters (espe­cial­ly the ones with kathwack!). When you make your way to the next lev­el, grab the chests, and then head up until it splits left and right. Go left first to gab 2 chests down the stairs, then head right. You know you’re right when you see the drag­on adorn­ment on the ground.
  • In the next part, you’ll deal with lots of pit­falls. Hint: if you walk in the space right next to a hole, you won’t fall down again. Fol­low the crea­ture through the next maze. I just kind of head­ed up and right and even­tu­al­ly cor­nered it.
  • Pre­pare your team and then talk to the mon­ster. It will start a fight. Defeat the Rest­less Armour and you’ll take back the equip­ment set (the game pre­vents you from using the stairs there).
  • Evac to the sol­dier and he will reward you with an Uber Agate of Evo­lu­tion.‘

• A Can­nock­ian Conun­drum (Can­nock Cas­tle)
  • Can­nock Cas­tle is look­ing for its prince.
  • Go to The Roamer Encamp­ment (Altar of the For­got­ten Past) and solve their predica­ment.
  • Then go to the Impe­r­i­al Pantry of Parthe­nia (Altar of the Cho­sen) after fin­ish­ing that quest.
  • Talk to Ale­na (by going to the right of the stairs in the main area with all the arrow floors and falling down the hole) who then tells you to go to Wheal­brook (Altar of the Heav­en­ly Bride).
  • After you heal the vil­lage from their nasty colds, talk to Pankraz who tells you that the prince went to Nev­er­glade also found in the Altar of the Heav­en­ly Bride.
  • Head north 2 screens until you see the Prince of Can­nock who is hope­less­ly lost. You trans­port him back with your Lumi­nary pow­ers.
  • Return to Can­nock Cas­tle and speak to the King to final­ly end this quest.
  • You get a Tec­ton­ic Plate

• Cur­ing the Curse of the Curse (Moon­brooke)
  • All the peo­ple are dogs! Talk to the girl in the North who is the Princess of Moon­brooke. I think this one is straight­for­ward. You just have to defeat the boss. Defeat­ing the boss will turn every­one back to peo­ple while the princess turns back into a dog.
  • Your prize: Dev­il’s Tail

  • Defeat him and com­plete the quest.
  • Prize: Gold­en Claws

• An Endan­gered Engage­ment (Erdrick­’s Future Home)
  • Orte­ga is about to mar­ry his wife, but a mon­ster is mak­ing every­one naysay the wed­ding. You have to go get the “Defud­dle Drops” in order to, well, defud­dle every­one.
  • Get them from the Pavo the angel in the Obser­va­to­ry (Altar of the Star­ry Skies).
  • Return and fight the sol­dier who is actu­al­ly a mon­ster.
  • Talk to the old man and receive a Gold Rosary

Altar of the Cho­sen

Hero, Rag­nar, Ale­na, Kiryl, Torneko, Maya, Meena vs Psaro

• Fiery Fever­few Seeds (Impe­r­i­al Pantry of Parthe­nia):

  • If you don’t have the recipe, it’s in the Sni­fl­heim Whale­way Sta­tion behind the ulti­mate key door (hint: wyrm­wood are shinies in the Whale sta­tions of Zwaard­srust, First For­est, Gal­lopo­lis, and Gon­do­lia).
  • You don’t have to give the staff to her, just use it on her. Do so and she gives you some crim­sonite.

  • Rose and the slime are being chased around by Sir Rose­guardin who has gone crazy.
  • Defeat him
  • Talk to the slime who reveals that the “flute of rev­e­la­tion” has been destroyed. It was the only way Psaro could vis­it Rose.
  • Go to The Nev­er­glade (Altar of the Heav­en­ly Bride) and fight a “Sil­va­p­ithe­cus” which is the white winged mon­key.

  • When you give it to her, she tells you she’ll have it the next time you come see her. Geez.
  • You have to tele­port out and then back. She’ll charge you 2500 gold for some Stone Cold Cold Killer.
  • Give it to San­cho for some plat­inum ore.
  • Con­grat­u­la­tions, you have fin­ished this book! Make sure you talk to Pankraz before you leave to learn about the Prince of Can­nock.

  • Rodri­go needs you to go slay a mon­ster.

The books are in the book­shelves with books on top of the shelves.

• To fin­ish the Mad About Maps quest, go for­ward until you see a King Met­al Slime.
