5 Sigils

Art of the 5 Sigils

The 5 Sigils (5つの紋章, itsutsu no monshō), known as Crests or Seals in earlier translations, are a set of symbols/markings that must be acquired in Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line. By collecting all five, the heroes can summon Rubiss at the Rubiss Shrine and receive the charm of the goddess. In II, Dream-Whisperer explains that Rubiss had sealed herself away with them.

Locations

The Echo Flute can be used to find them.

Name	Japanese name	Location
Star Sigil	星の紋章	In the Lighthouse, guarded by four Gremlins. In the HD-2D Remake, it is also guarded by a Nekomancer.
Moon Sigil	月の紋章	The Sigil is kept by the King of Dirkandor. It can be won by fighting for the King in the arena against a Striking sabrecat. In the HD-2D Remake, the King will not allow the Scions to fight unless they have a royal missive first.
Sun Sigil	太陽の紋章	Found by searching a specific tile on the outskirts of the Fire Shrine. The component for the sigil in the HD-2D Remake of I is found in the Weirdwood. In the HD-2D Remake of II, the guards guarding the pedestal leading to the sigil will not let the Scions of Erdrick pass unless they have a missive from Burrowell.
Water Sigil	水の紋章	Located in a prison cell in Moonahan. It can be found by searching the cell after defeating 2 grimlins. To get to the sigil, the heroes must have the Golden Key and the Jailor's Key. In the HD-2D Remake of II, it is stolen by a thief, who gives it to the Scions after the Sinister Minister is defeated.
Soul Sigil	命の紋章	In a treasure chest on floor B1 inside the Cave to Rendarak in versions of the game from the Nintendo Entertainment System to the Game Boy Color release. The cell phone ports have the King of Tantegel giving it to the player upon visiting him. This sigil is recieved automatically after finding Dream-Whisperer in the Weirdwood in the HD-2D Remake of I. In the HD-2D Remake of II, Mariella has the sigil on her lapel, and she will relinquish it once the Scions of Erdrick have defeated her in the Den of Iniquity.

Effects

In the HD-2D Remakes of I and II, each sigil provides certain effects to the party once it is in their possession. The effect depends on the sigil.

• Sun Sigil: Allows certain abilities to deliver critical hits.
• Water Sigil: Increases the efficacy of items. Items such as Medicinal herbs and Magic water recover more HP and MP and in II, affect the whole party.
• Moon Sigil: Allows spells to go critical and deal extra damage or heal more health.
• Star Sigil: Allows the party to recover MP simply by defending.
• Soul Sigil: The most powerful of them all. This increases the party's health and also allows them to turn certain spells and abilities into more powerful "Souped-Up Skills" when they are below 50% health, or in the case of I, under the effects of Reheal or Channel Anger.
