The Purple Orb is an important item that must be found at [[Master Rylus]]'s burned down house in [[Farebury]] before the final battle with [[Rhapthorne]].


The '''purple orb''' reappears in Dragon Quest IX as a very exotic alchemy ingredient, used for some of the highest [[Lists_of_alchemy_recipes_in_Dragon_Quest_IX|alchemy recipes]]. It is a rare drop from [[Dhoulmagus]], [[Rhapthorne]], and (at certain level ranges) [[Nokturnus]] legacy bosses.

The Purple Orb reappears in {{Dragon Quest IX}} as a very exotic [[alchemy]] ingredient, used for some of the highest [[Lists_of_alchemy_recipes_in_Dragon_Quest_IX|alchemy recipes]].

==={{DQ11}}===
The Purple Orb is found in a small chamber beneath the ruins of the [[Zwaardsrust Region]]. A [[troubadour]] in the nearby [[Warrior's Rest Inn]] sings a song that hints at the orb's location. The [[treasure chest]] with the orb is behind a red locked door, meaning the {{Party 11}} must obtain the [[Magic key]] in [[Phnom Nonh]] first. [[Rab]]'s [[Party Chat]] dialogue after the [[Magic Key]] is collected mentions the locked door in Zwaardsrust--another helpful hint for first-time players.
{{spoiler|start}}
During Act 2, the Purple Orb is in the possession of the Spectral Sentinel [[Tyriant]], who uses it to create a shadow double of himself in the boss battle against him. When [[Tyriant]] falls, the {{Hero 11}} regains the Purple Orb. This makes the Purple Orb the first orb regained in Act 2, as [[Tyriant]] is the first Spectral Sentinel to be defeated.
 
[[Jasper]] also appears to be holding and using the Purple Orb when he attacks the party at [[Yggdrasil]]. It is never specifically mentioned that this is the Purple Orb, but from the look of the item and the in-game context, it seems very likely.
