The Swamps of Sickness is the second major region explored in Dragon Quest Builders, being the defiled remains of Rimuldar's once pristine lake and forests. The terrain is much less forgiving than any found in Cantlin, and the Bodkin family of monsters will happily snipe at the craftsman from afar.

Overview

What was once a vibrant, colorful town surrounded by a clear water lake has become a swamp of death and sickness. Surrounded by a now deadly venomous lake, the remains of the town of Rimuldar is where the base for the second chapter of Dragon Quest Builders will be. Near the ruins, a water crystal can be found. This special block can generate water if it's placed one or two blocks above rock bottom.

The first inhabitant of Rimuldar base is Elle, a nun who seeks to cure the land of the cataclysmic contagions the swamp produces. Her first request is for the Builder to construct a sanitarium, then search the immediate area for patients to fill it with. Helping her will restore the village to grace bring hope back to the people, but will also draw the ire of the Hades Condor watching from above.

The poisonous lake of Rimuldar has some rocky mountains around it, and some hills too. Food is a valuable and scarce resource in these swamps. While most of the vegetation and wildlife in the area has perished due to the poison, the region's hills still have grass and healthy plants which resist against the odds.

Villagers

Image	Name	Biography
	Elle	A devout nun who attempts to counter poison with piety. She is immensely grateful to the Builder facilitating her aid to the ill, but her fervor for first-aid may come at the cost of her own life...
	Gerontius	The learned Gerontius becomes a valuable asset after he is recruited to the cause. He is a scholar, but has no problem getting dirty while battling monsters. His anguish is tied to the secrets he keeps.
	Nosh	Nosh is the first of many diseased people that must be carried back to the base. When he’s healthy again, Nosh becomes the driving force behind learning about how to fish.
	Casey	Casey must be rescued from the island beyond the blue teleportal. Casey’s illness requires two treatments, but she protects the base as soon she’s out of the sickroom.
	Hazel	Hazel’s rescue involves a trip through the red teleportal and vanquishing a group of treefaces. Feed her four meals to restore her health. She isn’t a fighter, but she builds items when the player creates the proper rooms.
	Mildred	Mildred suffers starving sickness and requires a large amount of food to be cured. Once on the mend, she serves as a guard for the town and will attack monsters on sight. Concerned with creature comforts, she hopes the Builder can lead the village to a life of luxury.

Nosh's shelter

Just west from the base, across the swamp, a tired and sick Nosh can be found in what remains of his shelter. Taking him back to safety is one of the first tasks Elle asks the builder to do.
