House of Prophecy

Shrine House of Prophecy

Japanese お告げのほこら Romaji Game Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen Old localization None

The House of Prophecy is a shrine located between Mamon and Havre Léon in Dragon Quest IV.

Within it is Nun the Wiser (a pun on the phrase none the wiser), who predicts the gathering of the Chosen Ones, as well as the resurrection of Estark. She is mysteriously killed before she can fully speak Estark's name, but Torneko's Party Chat states that she very literally vanished before the party's eyes instead. In the DS and Cell phone version, if she is not spoken to after having all of the Chosen party members in the party and after defeating Estark, she will not be dead and will give a new prophecy for the party.

Prophecy

Maya & Meena (Chapter 4)

NES version The man you seek revenge upon is protected by a tremendous evil force. Worry not. I see you are protected by radiant lights.... They are small and frail now, but more lights will join them and they'll fuse into one powerful force. Be patient. When you are sunk in the depths of despair... then shall your true journey begin.

Nintendo DS and Cell phone version 'Ze man you wish to take vengeance on is guarded by a dark force most powerful. But do not despair my children. Zere is ope. Zere is a force guarding you also. A force of light.... It is no more zan a soupçon now, But wiz ze guidance and nurture of ze Goddess, it will one day be az ze force majeure. You must not 'urry, Only when you find yourselves lost on ze path of despair.... Only zen will your true journey commence.'

Before seeking Ragnar (Chapter 5)

NES version Ragnar, a soldier from Burland, came searching for the Hero. I told him what the hero looks like. The lights are glowing even more radiantly. Your encounter may take place soon.

After Ragnar joins (Chapter 5)
