Kincyr: /* Trivia */

The '''Echo Chamber''' is an era exclusive to the Nintendo Switch and 3DS versions of {{DQ11}}. It is a sacred temple within [[Tickington]] that contains the records of heroes of the past.
==Synopsis==
The [[Tockles]] watch over the time-space continuum and insure that the tales of past heroes are preserved in magical tomes. Recently, a conspirator has seen fit to seal off the tomes and send monsters to terrorize these worlds. The Tockles are unable to handle the situation on their own, and beseech the [[Hero (Dragon Quest XI)|Luminary]] to aid them in repairing history. In order to facilitate the recover of the lost time, several tockles have been dispatched to Erdrea to seek out pastwords--incantations that will override the villain's seals and allow the Luminary to resolves the plights within. These tockles do not fade when approached, are larger, and are usually non-white in color to stand out from the scenery.

==List of past locations==
The echo chamber allows players to visit the worlds of past games and complete side quests based on these past adventures. Due to the disruption of the normal flow of time, the events that take place therein will not always take place during the same time as the main adventure of that particular title.

==Trivia==
*This cameo marks the first time that locations, characters, and races in Dragon Quest X have been localized.
:*Consequently, the term "undeciphered" being used for X is out of necessity as the game has no official English subtitle for any of it's versions.
*Reverie is used for VI's altar in all English-speaking regions, instead of Revelation being used for the American territory.
*The Ruby Path of Doom, and the quest that is started within, is based on the [[Masayuki map]].

The '''Puff-Puff''' is a sacred technique bestowed upon mortal-kind by the [[Rubiss|Goddess on High]]. Originating in [[Akira Toriyama]]'s ''Dragon Ball'' manga, the act refers to...well, you're bright enough to figure it out.

Outside of humorous scenes, the term also refers to a reoccurring skill used by the silly and the sexy. If used by a female character, it may distract an opponent for a few turns. If used by a male character it will cause strike-based damage based on his level, with the calculation being ''{LvL+1~8}'' for a cap of 51~58.

==Appearances in Battle==
===''[[Dragon Quest III]]''===
The Puff-Puff appears as one of the random actions a [[Gadabout]] can perform in the remakes. For female clowns it functions similarly to the rest of the series, but for men it will deal 25% of a normal attack's damage.

===''[[Dragon Quest VI]]''===
Puff-Puff is learned by advancing to rank 4 of the Gadabout vocation. For female characters, it incapacitates an enemy for 1~3 turns if successful, while as for male characters it will deal [[:category:Strike skills|strike]] damage, being the user's level divided by 8 rounded up.

===''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''===
Learned the same way as in ''VI''

===''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''===
[[Jessica]] can put her feminine assets to use after investing 38 points into her Sex Appeal skill tree. It will attempt to stun a monster for 1~3 turns as usual.

Note: some enemies will attempt to immobilize the protagonists with this technique, but it will always fail when used on Jessica. As the game puts it, she ''wins the battle of the bulge''. Furthermore, the enemy loses their next turn out of shame.
*In the 3DS remake, the same applies to [[Red]].

==={{DQ11}}===
[[Jade]] will learn to bring her bust to battle for 8 points in her ''Allure'' panel. It has no MP cost and will rise in effectiveness the higher her charm is.

==Appearances Outside of Battle==
===''[[Dragon Quest]]''===
A woman will offer the lone Hero a puff-puff for 50G in [[Rimuldar]] in the original version of the first game, with the event taking place in the [[Kol]] bathhouse in the remakes.

===''[[Dragon Quest II]]''===
A bunny girl in [[Rippleport]] will offer her services for 100G. This rabbit is feistier than most, accusing the princes of being homosexuals if they turn down her services in the original Japanese script.

===''[[Dragon Quest III]]''===
A dancer in the streets of [[Asham]] at night offers Powderpuff Massage free of charge. After leading the character upstairs, she turns off the light and begins the massage, only to later reveal the one doing the massage was her father, leaving the character who received the massage without words.

===''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''===
A dancing girl in the bar of [[Laissez Fayre]] will perform a puff-puff for free, but only upon male characters.

In Chapter 1, [[Angus and Aigneas|Angus' wife Aigneas]] gives her befuddled husband a puff-puff to restore his lost memory in the original Japanese script.

====Censorship====
To this disappointment of many fans, the western releases of ''IV'' on the [[Nintendo DS]] did not include the puff-puff in the Laissez Fayre bar, nor the one Aigneas gives to Angus. This was most likely to maintain a lower content rating.

===''[[Dragon Quest V]]''===
{{Stub}}

===''[[Dragon Quest VI]]''===
In the localization done by 8-4, all instances of puff-puffs have been censored and replaced with ''Pattycake Princess''. This was likely done at Nintendo's behest, who published the game in North America and Europe.
[[Buddy]]'s older sister will offer the Hero a puff-puff on the night of the mountain spirit festival, but will tease him if he agrees.

In [[Turnscote]], there is a bunny girl in one of the two-story buildings on the right side of town who will give a puff-puff so wonderful it actually increases the puffee's [[Style]] by 5.

===''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''===
After saving the kingdom of [[Buccanham]] in the present, the King will offer the player a VIP ticket at the local casino to receive a puff-puff from a woman in the facility. If the player uses the ticket, she will perform a "puff-puff", which in this case is her puffing two notes on a horn.

===''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''===
The most infamous puff-puff of the series, players will have to explore the Arcadia region to find the hidden club. All characters can be puffees, though Jessica and Red will have the most distinct reactions in the cutscene.

===''[[Dragon Quest IX]]''===
Tuya, a little girl living in the [[Hunters' Yurts]] of the [[Iluugazar Plains]] will reward players with a puff-puff if they assist her by completing [[List of quests in Dragon Quest IX: 101-150|Quest 126]] for her.

The puffing is a ruse, however; players will hear the baas of sheep as the screen goes dark, and when light returns their heads will be between two smelly sheep rears. A fitting fate for any sickos expecting a real puff-puff from a little girl.

===''[[Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below]]''===
{{Stub}}

===''[[Dragon Quest Builders]]''===
In ''Builders'', one of the Masked Thugs in Kol will offer to perform a Puff-Puff upon the builder, which leads to a humorous scene. Additionally, the game references the puff-puff scene of Kol during a flashback the Builder experiences while dreaming.

===''[[Dragon Quest XI]]''===
Various female NPCs offer the Luminary Puff Puff, either for a price, for free or as a reward. The hero character will get a +5 boost to charm once from the bunny girl in Phnom Nohm. Several of the Puff-Puff scenes in this game allude to previous games (like the father who gives the Puff-Puff in Gallopolis).

Exclusive to this one, however, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AW1mjvSOplI a Bunny Girl in The Battleground will offer a free Puff-Puff, lead the hero to a cliff, ask them to close their eyes and tie their ankles, before pushing them off the cliff only for them to bungee jump right above the clouds, causing Puff-Puffs of clouds].
