Damdara is a large, stable town in the distant past. Though it endures the fury of [[Zoma]]'s wrath as all of Alefgard does, it s people have not yet given in to despair. Though still a desert locale, greenery persists in the town and a large pond surrounded by flowers sits at the northeastern section. However, a thug in the well notes that the water level is receding and that the town may not be long for the world even if monsters are repelled.

Damdara is a town in the desert in southwestern Alefgard. It is a major location in Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation.

Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest[edit]

Damdara was destroyed by the Dragonlord's minions and has since become infested with their kind. Erdrick's Armour, the strongest armour in the game, can be found in the ruins but is guarded by a Knight aberrant that was ordered to keep it from falling into human hands.

Monsters within town[edit]

Nearby monsters[edit]

Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line[edit]

With no apparent survivors of the destruction of the town, nothing is ever done to Damdara to restore it. The ruined settlement is consumed by the surrounding desert.

Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation[edit]

Damdara is a large, stable town in the distant past. Though it endures the fury of Zoma's wrath as all of Alefgard does, it s people have not yet given in to despair. Though still a desert locale, greenery persists in the town and a large pond surrounded by flowers sits at the northeastern section. However, a thug in the well notes that the water level is receding and that the town may not be long for the world even if monsters are repelled.

A bard and a Faerie sit together at pond, with the former regaling the player of the family strife of his idol Galen, and the latter stating that an important instrument is near the baths in Kol. Lena, a dancing girl from Asham in the upper world, rests at the town's inn. She explains that she fled an audience member who was getting too close for comfort and wonders if her former employer is doing well. Lena will also ask the player to tell the manager that she is safe and, when speaking to the man in the back room of the dancing hall at night, he will be besides himself with joy at hearing that his former star is well and give the party a Magic bikini for their trouble.

The owner of the second weapon shop frets over naming his unborn child and his business is closed, with the family settling on Magog after Zoma's death much to the wife's consternation. The swordsman standing in the primary weapon shop mentions hearing that the town is the location of an Orichalcum ingot, though he can't find it himself. A woman near the horse stables on the east side of the town mentions that she occasionally sees a glimmer of light in the perpetual purple twilight at the far left side of the pasture. When the player searches the ground there, they will find the Orichalcum.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age[edit]

The Luminary ventures to Damdara through the Echo Chamber. The town is full of the ghosts of the citizens killed by the Knight aberrant, who rules over the ruins with an iron fist. To put the spirits to rest, the tin tyrant must be slain. The exact time of the Luminary's visit is not made clear, as the Knight would either have to be replaced or revived once killed if the time is before the original game, and no monsters remain in Alefgard once the Dragonlord is defeated if it takes place after.

Dragon Quest Tact[edit]

The party encounters the town in Chapter 4, Episode 3 of the game's limited Dragon Quest I event, still on the search for a way back to Orchesterra. Majellan seems doubtful that they will be able to find anything useful there and they are encountered by the Knight aberrant. It assumes that they are there attempting the steal the hidden treasure there and attacks them. The knight offers its apologies after being defeated and recommends they pay a visit to the Dragonlord, who might know of a way back to their own world.

Trivia[edit]

The woman who complains about her neighbor sneezing all day and inadvertently causing those sneezes is a reference to a Japanese superstition that states a person only sneezes when someone is talking about them behind their back.
