Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past[edit]

The Sphere of Silence is only available in the Nintendo 3DS remake and is given as a reward for the completion of the DLC Tablet Palace of the Perished upon defeating Skeleton swordsman.

Trivia[edit]

  • If Meena and Maya do not obtain the Sphere of Silence in Chapter 4, it will still be in Gupta Gupha in Chapter 5. Thus, it is possible to have two Spheres of Silence at once.
  • A common theory is that Meena and Maya lost the Sphere of Silence after their defeat by Marquis de Léon and that the Sphere was later given to Sir Roseguardin. Neither of these are true. The duo will still have the Sphere of Silence after their defeat, up until they reach Endor at the end of Chapter 4. Sir Roseguardin having the Sphere of Silence even if the duo did not obtain the item in Chapter 4 shows that he has a duplicate copy, rather than having stolen the original.
  • Torneko can actually end up stealing multiple copies of the Sphere of Silence when fighting against Sir Roseguardin, thus enabling you to have a collection of them if you so wish.
