====Story==== | |||
Chapter 2 begins with Alena begging her father, the Tsar of Zamoksva, to let her explore the world, since strong fighters are needed more and more in their troubled times, with the Underworld creeping out of dormancy. However, he refuses, saying that with monsters showing increasing aggression, it's simply too dangerous to let her leave the safety of the castle. Alena goes back to her room but, within a few minutes, has been overcome with frustration and escapes the castle. | Chapter 2 begins with Alena begging her father, the Tsar of Zamoksva, to let her explore the world, since strong fighters are needed more and more in their troubled times, with the Underworld creeping out of dormancy.

Alena and her companions are not seen again until Chapter 5, when Kiryl has fallen under a dangerous fever and is bedridden in [[Mintos]]. Alena and a band of three mercenaries set out to the reported location of the [[Feverfew root]] to try & recover some to cure Kiryl, but fails. However, [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|The Hero]] succeeds, and upon learning of their destiny the three immediately join the party for the remainder of the game. Some time later, they return to Zamoksva, finding the cause of its troubles to be the demon [[Balzack|Baalzack]], whom they kill in retribution and for the greater good. | Alena and her companions are not seen again until Chapter 5, when Kiryl has fallen under a dangerous fever and is bedridden in [[Mintos]].

Kiryl corresponds to the [[priest]] vocation, and as such he learns strong healing and defensive spells, but is fairly limited in the weapons and armor he can equip. | Kiryl corresponds to the [[priest]] vocation, and as such he learns strong healing and defensive spells, but is fairly limited in the weapons and armor he can equip. | ||
The NES version of Kiryl is infamous for his poorly-programmed AI, which would continuously cast the [[Whack]] and [[Thwack]] spells above all others, even when healing is necessary and the enemy is immune to them. While this problem was eliminated since the remakes permit manual control, it has become a running gag related to the character, such as his special appearance in ''[[Dragon Quest: Monster Battle Road]]''. | The NES version of Kiryl is infamous for his poorly-programmed AI, which would continuously cast the [[Whack]] and [[Thwack]] spells above all others, even when healing is necessary and the enemy is immune to them.

Kiryl appears as one of the special guests at [[Quester's Rest]] in [[Stornway]]. This can be obtained through the [[DQVC]] using [[Nintendo]]'s Wi-Fi Channel. When spoken to, he gives the player different pieces of his outfit depending on different situations. | Kiryl appears as one of the special guests at [[Quester's Rest]] in [[Stornway]].
