How to get ships in Dragon Quest 3 Remake
Entering Portoga
Portoga is located on the west side of the map, near the center. Once in the area, you need to head to the castle on the west side. But on the way, if you talk to the man in black and purple armor standing between the bridge and the equipment shop, he will tell you that the king loves black pepper and that it is sold in the towns to the southeast.
At the same time, you can also stop at the dock in the middle, where there is a monster that can be added to your monster illustration.
Talk to the King
After entering the castle, go to the upper left corner to talk to the king. The king will set you on a quest to find black pepper, and in return he will gift you with a ship to sail the seas.
The king will instruct you to find a dwarf named Norudo, who is in a tunnel on the east side of Portoga.
How to find Norudo's cave
Norudo's Cave is located in a cave east of Asham. If you have already visited Asham, you can use Teleport to go directly and save time.
Norudo's cave is a safe area, which is actually a straight road leading to Norudo. After talking to Norudo, he will open a tunnel for you through the mountain, allowing you to reach the other side.
In Norudo's cave, there is a well that you can go down to explore. There is an item in the middle left, near a group of stalactites, while there is another item in the upper right, between a thick stalactite and the cave wall.
How to reach Bharhara Tower
From Norudo's cave, head south and slightly east, and you'll eventually reach the Bahara Tower. Upon arrival, you'll trigger a cutscene introducing the mission you're about to undertake.
It is strongly recommended that you recover at the hotel before departure.
Kidnapper's Cave
From Bahara Tower, cross the bridge to the east and head north along the coast. You'll come across another bridge, and after crossing this bridge, the Kidnapper's Cave will be on the opposite side of the bridge.
B1 Floor of Kidnapper's Cave
The Kidnapper's Cave has only two levels, and the first level will be where you're likely to spend the most time. While heading directly south is the fastest way to reach your goal, exploring the entire cavern will reward you with great rewards.
There is no fixed best path to explore the Kidnapper's Cave. It is a grid-like map with grids at the northernmost and southernmost ends. You will encounter many monsters in the process. The following are the monsters that may appear in the kidnapper's cave:
The top center chest in the Kidnapper's Cave contains a Mini Medal.
The lower right corner of the first floor is the exit, go underground.
Kidnapper Cave B2 Floor
The second level of Kidnapper's Cave mainly revolves around fighting the boss, but before you head south, you can go to the upper left and open four chests. None of them are Mimics, and there's some nice loot inside.
When you're ready, head down the central corridor. Two guards will open the door and ask you if you want to join their gang. Answer "No" and you'll fight four "Looters".
These enemies deal heavy damage, but are very vulnerable to lightning attacks.
After defeating them, head to the cell to the south. There is a lever to the left of Gopal's cell. By pulling the lever, two cells will be unlocked. Dapta and Tanya will emerge from the cells and start leaving.
How to defeat the Robber again
In "Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remastered Edition", the looting monsters in the Kidnapper's Cave will be more difficult this time, but as long as you are patient enough and your team is roughly at level 20, you should be able to deal with it smoothly. .
Concentrate mainly on defeating the Looters one at a time. The fewer of them there are, the less damage will be done each turn. Keep one or two characters healing each turn; we used a monster tamer with "Soothing Song" to restore a bit of health to each party member each turn, and a priest dedicated to healing characters who needed healing.
The other two characters focus on dealing damage every turn, reducing the enemies to just the looters over time. When only the Looter is left, he can do a lot of damage, but as long as you keep healing and don't overextend, he will be defeated.
The looter begs for mercy again, and you will let him go this time and continue your adventure.
Baharat and Dama Temple
After returning to Baharat, go to the grocery store where Gopal works. He will offer it to you�Some black pepper, but he had no black pepper. Instead, he mentions his black pepper supplier and directs you to the Dama Temple to the north of Baharat.
Follow the route you took from Baharat to the Kidnapper's Cave, but this time don't go to the second bridge to the east, but continue north. The Dama Temple is located in the forest, sandwiched between mountains.
Find the merchant
The merchant is located in the center of the Dama Temple, just a few steps away from the main gate. After talking to him, he will give you some black pepper. Once you have the black pepper, it's time to return to Portoga and meet the king.
Return to Portoga and claim your ship
When you return to Portoga, go directly to the king and he will accept the black pepper. You'll trigger an important cutscene, and when it's over, you'll get your own ship, which is docked at Portoga's docks.
This ship allows you to travel to many areas that were previously inaccessible - while also allowing you to obtain a large amount of loot that was previously unobtainable.
