Chimaera wing: Difference between revisions

|title = ''Chimaera Wing''

The '''chimaera wing''' is an item that casts the [[Zoom]] spell when used. It is present in every ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' game. It is one of the most notable items due to the [[Chimaera]]s' chance to drop it when they're defeated.

The 1989 manual to ''Dragon Warrior'' provided the following info for the wings: "Another legend has it that, when lightning strikes and kills a Wyvern, its wings fall down to earth with their magical flying powers still intact. Using these wings will bring you back to Tantegel Castle."

Chimaera wings can be purchased in most shops and return the player to the last save location visited, exactly as the as with the [[Zoom|Return]] spell.

 

Chimaera wings are more useful than before, allowing the player to select his or her destination from a list of visited locales instead of whisking them away to the most recent save spot. The [[Zoom]] spell enjoys a similar utility.

As with the [[Zoom]] spell, chimaera wings can now transport the player to the entrances of dungeons, shrines, etc.

Chimaera wings can be purchased for 25 gold coins and sold for 18. Due to plot details the chimaera wings do not function exactly like the [[Zoom]] spell in that it does not allow the player to select any previous location, instead it always returns you to the last location visited.

Chimaera wings are exceptionally handy in this spin-off as they allow [[Erik]] and [[Mia]] to retreat back to [[Eggshell Island]] with all their acquired loot in tow; using the built-in evacuation option in the game's menu means dropping all those precious baubles in transit.
