Kiefer is the prince of Estard and best friends with the Hero of Dragon Quest VII. He hates being in the castle all the time so he and the hero like to go off and explore the forbidden ruins on the island.
Appearance
Kiefer has fair skin and messy blond hair. He wears a prince's tunic, leather boots and gloves, and carries a sword on his back (which, strangely enough, cannot be equipped).
Personality
In the beginning of the game, Kiefer has been described with "having a taste for wine, women, and adventure". In contrast, he seems to resent his position as Prince, a feeling that puts him at odds with his father. He can come off as snobbish at times, like in Rexwood, he introduces his friends as lackeys. However, he does have a sense of duty when he tells the Hero that they should find the Green Colorstone to heal Hank.. When the party meets the nomadic Dejans, Kiefer's attitude changes. He sees Layla and falls in love. He begins to see his destiny with the Dejans.
Synopsis
The game begins with the Hero and Kiefer exploring the underground cave in the Estard Ruins. He tells the Hero to call it a day. The next day, Kiefer steals the Sunstone, a ring that belonged to his mother, and a scroll from the royal library. It shows a picture of a man with a scepter. Kiefer interprets it to be the same as a statue in the Ruins. He tries putting the Sunstone on the statue but nothing happens. Frustrated, he leaves the scroll with the Hero who takes it to the Sage at the Cliff. The Sage interprets it and tells them that in order to open the ruins the Chosen One must pray before the statue.
The boys pray at the statue and the doors open. They solve the puzzles in the ruins and reveal the fane and pedestals with the sealed worlds. The boys, along with Maribel, put shards on the pedestals and reveal new lands.
As he and the heroes uncover new lands around the world until they eventually happen upon the nomadic Dejan tribe who are trying to resurrect God. Kiefer falls in love with the dancer of the tribe, Layla. He escorts Layla to the temple where she and Jann try to resurrect God. However, the ritual fails.
The next day, Kiefer battles the village chief for the right to be a part of the Dejan tribe. He wins and is named Guardian. He is given a Deja Sword to mark this honor. He escorts the Hero and his party back to the portal and gives them all of his stuff plus a letter to give to his father. With a push, Kiefer sends the party back to the present, parting forever.
Abilities
Kiefer learns the following skills naturally.
Level | Skill/Spell | MP Required | Target | Info | Twinhits |
5 | Fireslash | 0 | One enemy | Adds Fire damage to attack | Yes |
9 | ParryPass | 0 | Self | Reflects physical damage to another party member | No |
12 | Psycheup | 0 | Self | User's next attack does double damage | No |
15 | Zombiecut | 0 | One enemy | Deals 1.5 Damage to Undead enemies, regular damage to all other enemies | Yes |
20 | Vacuum | 0 | All Enemies | Causes Wind damage to all enemies | No |
Strategy
Kiefer can equip everything the Hero can equip. Plus he can equip hammers and axes. Because of this, he should be used as a tank. Once he learns Fireslash, the player should use it in lieu of his regular attack. The only exception should be the FireGiant in Engow. In boss battles, Kiefer should make liberal use of his Psycheup/Fireslash combo.
The player should note that because he leaves the party forever in Deja, they should not use any stat increasers on him.
Appearances in Other Games
Kiefer is also the hero in Dragon Quest Monsters: Caravan Heart.
