The '''Silver Orb''' is one of the [[Six Orbs]] hidden throughout the worlds they appear in, and are required to drive the plot forward in most appearances.


== Trivia ==
==Appearances==
Due to setup required to reach the shrine, and the powerful monsters in and around the Gondo Cave, the silver orb is designed to be the final orb received of the six orbs. Getting the silver orb is actually the longest subquest in Dragon Quest III aside from collecting all six orbs to get Ramia.
==={{DQ3}}===
# Retrieve [[Lar Mirror]] from [[Cave Southwest of Samanao]].
In order to receive the Orb from the man at the [[Necrogond Shrine]], the heroes must first throw the [[Mountaincleaver]] into the volcano. This opens the path to the [[Maw of the Necrogond]]. After passing through the cave, the {{Party 3}} can arrive at the shrine. The Orb is required to hatch [[Ramia]].
# Visit [[Samanao]] at night and defeat [[Boss Troll]], receive [[Staff of Change]]
# Visit [[Greenlad]] and exchange staff for [[Sailors Thighbone]].
# Track down the [[Phantom Ship]] and retrieve [[Locket of Love]].
# Use locket to enter the [[Shrine Jail]].
# Search Eric's corpse to find the [[Sword of Gaia]].
# Throw the sword into the volcano west of [[Baharata]].
# Travel across the filled river to [[Gondo Cave]].
# Complete the cave and visit the [[Shrine of Gondo]].


==Other Appearances==
Due to the requirements needed to reach the shrine, and the powerful {{MFamilies}}s in and around the Maw, the Silver Orb is designed to be the final orb obtained in a normal playthrough. Getting the Silver Orb is actually the longest subquest in {{Dragon Quest III}} aside from collecting all [[Six Orbs]] to get [[Ramia]].
===[[Dragon Quest VIII]]===
# Retrieve [[Ra's Mirror]] from [[Manoza Cave]].
The '''Silver Orb''' is an important item that must be found at the [[Lord High Priest]]'s home before the final battle with [[Rhapthorne]].
# Visit [[Manoza]] at night and defeat [[Boss troll]], receive [[Mod Rod]]
# Visit [[Grimland]] and exchange rod for [[Boatman's Bone]].
# Track down the [[Phantom Ship]] and retrieve the [[Lovers' locket|Lovers' Locket]].
# Use locket to enter the [[Shrine of Shackles]] beyond [[Olivia's Promontory]].
# Search [[Simão]]'s corpse to find the [[Mountaincleaver]].
# Throw the sword into the volcano west of [[Isis]].
# Travel across the debris-filled river to [[Maw of the Necrogond]].
# Complete the cave and visit the [[Necrogond Shrine]].

The '''silver 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 the [[Baramos]], [[Zoma]], and (at a certain level range) [[Nokturnus]] legacy bosses.
==={{DQ5}}===
A Silver Orb unrelated to the legendary six appears as one of the power sources for the flight mechanism of [[Zenithia]] castle. Unlike the [[Gold Orb]], it remained intact in the core of the castle when it sank.  


==={{DQ8}}===
The Silver Orb is an important item that must be found at the [[Lord High Priest]]'s home at [[Savella Cathedral]] before the final battle with [[Rhapthorne]].

==={{DQ11}}===
The Silver Orb was taken by a bird monster to the [[Eerie Eyrie]]. Hints about this are given by a handful of {{NPC}}s in different areas. At the top of the [[Eerie Eyrie]], the {{Luminary}} and party must fight three [[Elysium bird]]s. When the birds are defeated, a [[treasure chest]] appears; the Orb can be found inside.
{{spoiler|start}}
During Act 2, the Silver Orb is in the possession of the [[Spectral Sentinel]] [[Jasper]], who uses it to amplify his power during the boss battle against him. When [[Jasper]] falls, the {{Luminary}} regains the orb. This makes the Silver Orb the last orb regained in Act 2, as [[Jasper]] is the last Spectral Sentinel to be defeated.
