Setting

Unlike the first game, which takes place in an alternate timeline of the original Dragon Quest, this installment takes place following the events of Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line in which the remnants of the Children of Hargon are attempting to make a comeback after their leader's death by kidnapping and destroying builders. The player takes control of an abducted Builder who escapes the cult's ship in the midst of a torrential storm, and washes up on a desert island alongside a fellow abductee named Lulu and a mysterious boy named Malroth. It is up to the player and Malroth to survive on the island until rescue arrives.
