Untrodden Groves

The Untrodden Groves refer to all areas of land that are non-accessible by walking or ship, but only by flight with the Godbird's soulstone.

Map of locations only accessible by Godbirds Soulstone. (circled in red)

In the game itself, they are referred to as Areas Accessible by Air (翼を持つ者の場所, Tsubasa o motsu mono no basho, lit. "Places for those with wings").

These locations in Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King include Tryan Gully, Slime Hill, and many other raised lands near-by well-known towns. These places can be distinguished in midair by a thick cover of clouds in the sky.

Mysterious AltarEdit

An unidentified altar found in the Baccarat Region. There is a stone tablet located there with the Dragovian Seal etched onto it. Although the player can reach the altar as soon as they have the ability to fly, nothing will happen until Rhapthorne has been defeated and the game has been beaten at least once. In the postgame, interacting with the tablet will take the party to the Dragovian Path.
