Rimuldar is a lake town located on the southeastern continent of Alefgard.

Rimuldar is the closest town to the final dungeon in both Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest III, Charlock Castle.

It is also the first location the Hero can purchase Magic Keys in Dragon Quest, making it a significant location to visit.

Rimuldar is the second town saved from the blight, after Cantlin, in Dragon Quest Builders.

Appearances

Dragon Quest

Rimuldar is the first location where the Hero may purchase Magic Keys. This is the primary purpose for visiting, as keys are required in order to complete the game. Rimuldar is also the closest town to Charlock Castle, but since the game cannot be saved anywhere outside of Tantegel, this is not significant.

Dragon Quest I HD-2D Remake

Rimuldar uses the same 3D model that was created for Dragon Quest III HD. Instead of just being the location where the Hero can accumulate disposable keys, the lake town plays a central role in the story of the Captain of the royal guard, Princess Gwaelin's body guard, and the acquisition of the magic key.

The Captain will be taken to the inn by Gwaelin's Guard after the two exit the Quagmire Cave to the north, with the older man having succumb to the miasma that festers in the unnatural swamps which have sprung up in the wake of the Dragonlord's rising. The resident Priest is at wits end to aid him as the illness is entirely unnatural and thus unaffected by the Squelch spell. Gwaelin's Guard reveals to the Hero that the Captain is her father, forced out of his retirement when the division of royal guards she led to escort the Princess to the Shrine of Rain were ambushed and annihilated by the Dragonlord. The Priest gravely informs her of the nature of her father's illness and that his condition appears terminal, which causes her to succumb to despair.

When the Priest mentions that one versed in magical arts might know more about the blight than he does, the Hero opts to question the villagers for information. This leads him to the eccentric hermit dubbed the Warlock of Doorlocks, who replaces the generic coot that sold the single-use keys in past versions of the game. The old Sage states that his magical knowledge is quite broad and can likely aid the ailing Captain, but he needs help with his own circumstances first. He is on the edge of completing his life's work, an inexhaustible key that can break magic seals, but his dwarven assistant has recently disappeared and the journey to the little fellow's home is too dangerous now that monster hordes roam Alefgard. Eager to pursue any lead that can help the Captain and Gwaelin's Guard, the Hero volunteers to make the trip in the Warlock's stead if he agrees to help. This begins a long journey that takes the Hero from the dwarven caverns to the Faerie Village in the west, culminating in the fair folk brewing a concoction that cures swamp sickness.

Returning to Rimuldar, the Hero finds Gwaelin's Guard by the bridge leading into the town. She sadly informs him that the Priest and Warlock were unable to make any headway in helping her father and she is preparing herself for the worst, but he insists she not give up hope and humorously pushes her along to the inn so she can witness the Captain's recovery. The fair folk's brew takes immediate affect and Gwaelin's Guard is astonished to learn that the Hero enlisted the aid of faeries just to help her father. She sprints out of the inn and sulks near the lake when the Hero approaches, lamenting that she had given up hope and lamented on her past failures while he searched tirelessly for a cure. She thanks the Hero and gives him Gwaelin's necklace, informing him it was found discarded in Quagmire Cave.

Rimuldar plays no further role in the game's plot after this, though it is the final destination in the sidequest of Zalen the wandering musician. Should the player speak to the Soothsayer in the church, she will guide the Hero to the Sanctum. Speaking to the prisoner in the same building will warn players of the Weirdwood far to the southwest and the monster responsible for wrapping it in illusions.

Dragon Quest II HD-2D Remake

Rimuldar once again reuses the model created for Dragon Quest III HD, maintaning consistency across each title in the Erdrick Trilogy. The lake town is entirely optional in this game.

The soothesayer operating in the first floor of the church managed to predict the siege of Moonbrooke, saving a travelling customer's life by ordering him to remain in town instead of venturing to the ill-fated kingdom as he intended. A member of the Children of Hargon is locked away in the town jail under the watch of a Tantegel guard, having been caught attempting to convert children to the cult by engaging in hedonism and theft.

The Warlock of Doorlocks has passed his key-making knowledge on to his descendants, as evidenced by the woman dwelling in his old home. She boasts of following in his footsteps and crafted her own magical key, seemingly without the assistance of dwarves, but dropped it into the sea while foolishly showed it off while travelling via ship and laments that she will have to make another.

Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation

Rimuldar is typically the final town visited before the final dungeon in the game, Zoma's Citadel. It serves no other major purpose in the game and contains no required items, though the frequency in which liquid metal slimes appear around the settlement makes it an ideal grinding spot. An old man in the northwest corner of the town is fascinated by the Hero's sets of keys, and wants to create a mass-production model. Additionally, the ancestors of the couple with poor directional awareness are waiting for one another in the same spots their children's children will be.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake

Rimuldar is among the villages that have been changed the least in the change to HD, with there now being a friendly chimaera in front of the home of the old man interested in producing magical keys. The other point of interest is that that Ortega left a message behind in the chest containing the recovery ring, detailing that his memories are slowly returning.
