The defining element of the Dragon Quest IX postgame; the grotto grind has begun. - Dragon Quest 9 Dragon Quest IX DQ9 DQIX Grotto Equinox Nemean Shogum Elusid Trauminator Sir Sanguinus Atlas Hammibal Fowleye
Something that confuses me about the first 10 grotto bosses is How is trauminator a part of the shattered almighty when trauminator existed over 300 (or however long ago corvus fell) years ago, because it was that thing that took the thingy from the amnesiac king (yknow, the dead king in the quanrantomb).
Zak I do early grottos at least I got all the 5 star equipment parts except the weapon all so if you want evision you need to farm sensible boots in grottos
Sure, here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_QC172seC-8mmUHd94N8EN3RTa7aAbDo/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=105296038000033630994&rtpof=true&sd=true Feel free to modify it as I don't think it was ever fully finished/complete
a no monster floor is actually fairly common, ive seen multiple of those myself before without cheating, they are alot more common than mks only maps thats for sure.although i have actually found the ruby path of doom or whatever its called also without cheating, but with using savestates, took like 3 days of resetting non stop xD in normal play you would probably never find one of those yourself. however i have confirmed that it is theoretically possible at least. to my understanding it works like this: every level range has 65000 possible grottos, therefore there are at least 99 times 65000 possible grottos in total and out of all of those there are exactly 23 mks only floor maps, i have the list open and searched for mks. needless to say your odds of finding one yourself are beyond insanely small. i think at the best possible level, your odds are 4 in 65000, thats the level i got mine at. i think its very basic: hero at level 99, no revocations and the last grotto has to be level 99 or something.
Helm is from quest 142 in the cave on slime hill (complete 5 other quests), shield is from quest 136 at the house on the hill in Hermany (kill 3 metal slimes in 1 battle 3 times). Can also get both in rank A chests in grottoes

Hey! A little late but I'm really enjoying the series so far
Do you still have the link to the boss spreadsheet?

What is that application you used to figure out the map details?
It's the save editor, available here www.woodus.com/den/games/dq9ds/save_editor.php

How did you get the metal slime armor (Shield and Helm)?
Helm is from quest 142 in the cave on slime hill (complete 5 other quests), shield is from quest 136 at the house on the hill in Hermany (kill 3 metal slimes in 1 battle 3 times). Can also get both in rank A chests in grottoes
i didn’t watch your other play throughs but how did you get the fources on your priests
Gotta save up some skill points, change vocation to armamentalist, throw some points in fource, then switch back to priest
@@ZakGoble that’s kinda what i thought
how do i get all these grottos on ds?
Get one from Christopher Collapsus just outside Zere Rocks and another from King Schott in Stornway. All the rest come from completing other grottoes
