Morrie's Place

Monster Arena Morrie's Place

Game Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King

Morrie's Place is the first name given for the Monster Arena in Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King when using Zoom or a Chimaera wing to return there.

Appearance

The Monster Arena is located near Pickham, and is owned by Morrie. After completing his request to battle three infamous monsters, he allows the party to play in his pit.

In the 3DS version, Morrie will join the party as a playable character after beating Rank S and there is also a new rank to battle against. Rank S can be attempted immediately after the Hero and party take care of matters in Arcadia as Morrie mentions needing time to get his friends to arrive.

Additionally, Morrie can't be leading the party when in the Monster Arena as he will be in his usual place and can only revive fallen monsters when at the Arena.
