Rubiss aids the player under the guise of a common old woman, and at random intervals she will bless the Hero by fully restoring his {{HP}} after battle, voiding any {{MP}} costs for a brief period, and insuring that critical hits trigger much more often. In the finale of the final episode, She will be present in [[Tantegel]] castle in Her old woman disguise but reveal Herself when spoken to, thanking the player directly for saving [[Alefgard]]. Rubiss is voiced by [[Rika Matsumoto]] during these Soundlink segments of the game.

Rubiss is held prisoner on the top floor of the [[Tower of Rubiss]], having been over-powered by [[Zoma]] and displaced as ruling deity of [[Alefgard]]. The heroes must use the [[Faerie Flute]] in front of the statue there in order to free her. Her rescue by [[Erdrick]] in this time of need would not be soon forgotten.

The Goddess' is depicted with a sprite resembling those of the {{Faerie}}s, which would serve as the basis for her illustration in ''[[Dragon Quest of the Stars]]'' decades later.

Rubiss' role is the same as in past iterations of the title, though Her petrified form is now guarded by the [[Soul of Baramous]]. Her dialogue has been greatly expanded. Here She will notice the [[Sphere of Light]] in the Hero's possession and state that She and Her flock are in the [[Dragon Queen]]'s debt before elaborating on the bauble's significance in the fight against Zoma. Rubiss laments that Her powers have not yet returned to Her and that the task of slaying the fiend falls to the party, implying She is capable of facing Zoma directly and that the archfiend ambushed Her.
 
After telling the player that the [[Rainbow Drop]] is necessary to reach Zoma's citadel and bequeathing the [[Sacred Amulet]] to her saviors, Rubiss instills what remains of her divine power into the Sphere of Light so that it will pierce through Zoma's [[Shroud of Shadows]] and render him vulnerable.
 
Design-wise Rubiss retains the appearance she was given in ''Walk'', being a beautiful woman with red hair and large, angelic wings wearing a golden sash with matching torcs, tiara, and necklace.

Rubiss Herself doesn't appear in the game but due to a collaboration with {{DQStars}} players could obtain Her outfit from the mobile title. It was originally only available in the ''[[Dragon Quest of the Stars|Hoshidora]]'' event back in September 2019, however, due to fan demand the outfit was added to the Present Ticket campaign, a dedicated reward system where players can exchange a special currency that is obtained on a monthly basis.

Rubiss is a major character in the game, being the guiding voice that directs the [[Builder (Dragon Quest Builders)|Builder]] in each chapter. Presented in a more humorous light than in past games, the Goddess is frequently taken aback by the blunt and impatient craftsman's attitude. She warns the player that they are not a hero, and expressly forbids them from challenging the [[Dragonlord]]: their task is solely that of restoring the land and settlements of [[Alefgard]].

Prior to the game's opening, Her influence upon the world is weakened by the [[Dragonlord]] sheathing the sky in darkness as [[Zoma]] once did. Only the Builder can hear Her voice throughout the game, and Her words cannot reach them at all in the final chapter of the game until a pious [[Princess Gwaelin|princess]]' prayers counter the malefic mist. Once the castle of [[Tantegel]] and the [[Erdrick Equipment|legendary arms]] are restored, Rubiss praises the Builder and declares their work complete--she states that She and the revived [[Alefgard]] will wait for a new hero to appear to slay the [[Dragonlord]]. When Her divine judgement is questioned, she reaffirms that the builder is forbidden from carrying out an assault on [[Dragonlord's Castle]] and ceases communicating with the player.

During the battle with fiend, Rubiss will intervene and counter the maniac's magical seal by teleporting the friends the builder has made along their journey into the fray to deliver materials, food, and [[Medicinal herb]]s before spiriting them away to safety. When the Builder proves victorious Rubiss admits She was mistaken, and thanks the little architect from the bottom of Her heart before musing that the [[human]] spirit is something beyond even Her reckoning.

Rubiss appeared in the later parts of the {{Dragon Quest III}} event. She explains to the player Her role in creating [[Alefgard]] and how [[Zoma]] sealed Her away. After defeating [[Zoma]], she thanks the player.

Unlike Her {{Stars}} appearance, Rubiss's Walk design is not whited out, so it's easier to see how She looks like: She has blue-ish eyes, long and straight pink hair, pointy ears and big angel-like wings. She wears a white and purple dress, with orange accents. She wears some golden and blue jewelry, and carries an orb. This design is inspired by Her sprite in {{Dragon Quest III}} for the {{Super Famicom}}.
