"Can the remnants of our past lead us to a future...?"


Dragon Quest: Legacy of the Lost is a fangame highly inspired by Dragon Warrior 7. The game will feature the shard system and time travel aspect found in Dragon Warrior 7. The underlying story, however, is not the same and besides the time travelling portion, no plot sequence will be taken from Dragon Warrior 7.

STORYLINE:
“Join a story that spans the ages! Through a series of seemingly unrelated events, a young man finds himself in the middle of a divine conflict. Picking up allies along the way, the man will confront the darkness and bring back the legacy of the lost!”

The world of Araginol is at peace… or so it seems. As far back as the people of this land can recall there is little in terms of land. The continent of Erdrich is all that has been discovered by seafarers and captains of the seas…

“How can this be? Is it truly possible that the world be so small?”

Unknown to the people of the current era, Araginol had once consisted of several islands and continents. Through the power of the demon lord, the islands that occupied Araginol fell one by one, eventually leaving no remnant of their passing.

Just when it seems Erdrich has been spared from this tragedy, several unfortunate events begin to plague the land. It is up to you, the hero, to traverse the rifts of time and save the world from evil’s vile clutches!

If You Are Playing an Old File (Notice):

*If you are playing from an old version file:*

Even though the level cap has raised to 60, your level will stay at 50. In addition, any skills learned from the new version will not be learned naturally as you level.

However, you can still “level” past 50 and gain all the skills you missed! For files registered as old, several new NPC’s have been added in the Great Shrine. Head the where the saint’s plaque was located to find the ghosts of your past heroes. NOTE: Olian will only appear if you managed to recruit him. Also, when you clear the game, a monster ghost will appear that will grant an exclusive armor called monster mastery to replicate the effect of leveling from 50-60.

Leveling Up:
Each ghost will present you with a log item (Hero’s Log, Mage’s Log, Maiden’s Log, Cleric’s Log). When you use the item, it will perform a level check on how much experience is needed to reach level 51. When you hit the required experience, using the item will play the level up sound, display your stat changes and permanently increase your stats. The stat gains are exactly the same as if you had played the new version normally. Next time you use the item, it compares your EXP to level 52 and continues all the way to level 60. Note: If you gained a lot of excess experience past 50 on your old file, you may/will need to use the item multiple times to gain all of your hard-earned level ups!

Acquiring Missing Skills:
Each ghost will present you with a skillset item (Hero’s Skillset, Mage’s Skillset, Maiden’s Skillset, and Cleric’s Skillset). Using the item will replace your old skills with the new ones (Maiden’s Skillset also works if your old file caused Melody to be missing some arcanist spells). The game won’t inform you of changes, so check the charts below to see when you should use the item (it has unlimited use).

I can't beat the trio bosses in the last area because one of them will cast absolute zero without any warning... doing 400 hp damage per character (I noticed background flickers yellow but it happens after I told my characters how to attack the next round). How am I suppose to beat these bosses if two of my characters (two of them are at lv 60 other two are in the mid-upper 50's) have max hp over 400?


Absolute Zero should only occur if you don't kill the ice pillars fast enough. When you say no warning, is there no ice pillars? If no pillars, you've stumbled upon some glitch and it should reset after one cast (just defend until he does it?)

I normally take on Torchtree at Level 30. If Aldain taunts and uses Attunment with Resist up, they are tankable. Resist is fine too, he'd have to defend though. Don't forget you buy monster materials in Onyu if you recruit enough people.

And yes, you are restricted to two legendary equips/skills. They are quite powerful, especially the skills!
Also, can you REALLY only get two of the legendary equips and skills?? Or can you get all opf them once you clear the game?
Sheesh, Torchtree's underlings murder the party with those flare spells... I saw Xenxander get demolished, despite being at max level!

What level should I be??

Thinking of filling in all the drops for grinding purposes. I made the Dragovian shield, and am MILES away from egtting Ragnarok...
I have the Deathbane on Aldain. Apocalypse on Melody, Wrath staff on Oruba, and Gemini on Olian.

Where can I find Cupid's Bow??
No, he won't. :)

Although TorchTree will! It is best to leave one alive in my opinion for Torchtree.
I hope I am not annoying you... Will (Persiva boss) summon more underlings if I get rid of both of the ones he summons?
I keep asking questions then beating the bosses, hehe,.... Got some serious grinding to do. Those prison bosses walked right over me, did you strengthen them?? It's like battling three Death Templars at once! I think I NEEd Kabuff, and some serious luck, to survive that!!
Well, took some trickery and luck, but got past Magmagod. FOr a certain boss, (SPOILER), is there any way to protect against paralysis?
What level is recommended for Magmagod? I can't even beat a single head, and I am almost level 25!
No, the trigger to rebuy the boots is defeating Skydragon. Dream Blade is found by killing Tumbleweed twice on the mountain then in the castle. Tumbleweed is found in the mountain after killing Skydragon.
Also, what is the trigger to be able to purchase the Iron Boots again? I HOPE I don't have to complete Yuria first...
You should make a bestiary so we can know ehere to get certain drops...

Also, where to get a Dream blade? I never found one in my last playthrough...
A heads up, the walkthrough for the game is down.
The tinymedals never go away. The best way to go about them is to aim for the same chest until you get it. After 3 times opening the chest, you are guaranteed to get one. In the guides section above, there is a video of the paths through it. Chest #2 and Chest#3 have a medal. Once received though, they will never return in that chest again (to prevent obvious farming of the medals).
Seriously,. that trerasuere game needs more time... or a map! How do you get to those tinymedlas?! I can only get to the ones on the far left and right!
You want Tumbleweed to flee. He will die when in the Castle of Gales though, dropping both the sword and medal.

There are actually 41 tinymedals in the game, just in case you accidentally miss one of the missables too (the 41th medal is located in the Persivan Catacombs in present time).

Seeing as you are at Deathtrap now, you cleared Death Templar. As far as he is concerned, you have to Sap him to do magic damage or you have to Dilapidate him to deal magic damage really. But honestly, the best strategy is just to sap > use Poison Spike (or a poison spell) to poison the guy. Because it deals %HP damage per turn, he'll practically have 0 HP by the time he summons his helper. Then you can just defend until he summons help.
WHOA... Sorry for doublepost, but what is the reccomended level for Deathtrap? I couldn't even TOUCH him!
Thanks. I was afraid you weren't checking this page anymore...

Any advice for DEathTemplar? He is MEAN... And where can I get a sleep blade?

Also I skipped Tumbleweed, which means another run through alter for all medals. Next time,. I get those iron boots, so that stupid mountain doesn't make me rage and skip... Also, does it matter if Tumbleweed flees? Or does that mean I failed?
You did relieve 1 point of dishonesty in Yardrick. After saving the town from the demons in the well, one guard would have asked you to tell the king of their decision to stay.

This had to be done before you cleared the region, or the king won't ask you about it. However, if that is the only honesty mistake you made, you'll fight all soldiers, BUT you can still get the achievement. Honesty is easier to attain that dishonesty.

The walkthrough is somehow missing on the site, I'll have to locate a backup somewhere (hopefully I can find it..)
