The Quarantomb is a dungeon in Dragon Quest IX. It is located northwest of Coffinwell. It contains the Ragin' Contagion; a deadly virus which when not restrained, infects the town of Coffinwell.

Origin

The Quarantomb was supposedly built by the people of Coffinwell. After the Ragin' Contagion infected Coffinwell years before the events of Dragon Quest IX, it was sealed away in a jar in the centre of the tomb. However Dr. Phlegming suggests that this was not the original region that the tomb was created. The mayor of Coffinwell is the only person who has the key to the quarantomb.

Plot

During the earthquake at the beginning of Dragon Quest IX the jar containing the Contagion was broken, allowing it to escape and to infect the town of Coffinwell again. The player must enter the Quarantomb, and fight the Contagion while Dr. Phlegming repairs the seal on jar. Once this is done the Contagion is trapped and Coffinwell returns to normal.

Access

The player must agree to accompany Dr. Phlegming to the Quarantomb to protect him during his research there. The player must also get the key from Mayor Laria.

Features

Past the entrance to the Quarantomb is a stone pillar inscribed with a poem, mentioning Sages. Past that is a locked door, set with two jewels. The player must find the two Sage statues in the top left and right corners, and flip switches on their backs. The statues will emit beams of light which will bounce off various mirrors around the tomb and hit the door. The doors will then open and the player will be able to face the Ragin' Contagion.

There are several Red Chests and Blue Chests around the tomb.

Due to the possibility of finding the Metal Slime the Quarantomb is a good place to train quickly during the early stages of the game.
