===''[[Dragon Quest Builders]]''=== | |||
Rubiss is a major character in the game, being the guiding voice that directs the [[Builder]] in each chapter. Presented in a more humorous light than in past games, the goddess is frequently taken aback by the blunt and impatient craftsman's attitude. She warns the player that they are not a hero, and expressly forbids them from challenging the [[Dragonlord]]: their task is solely that of restoring the land and settlements of Alefgard. | |||
Prior to the game's opening, her influence upon the world is weakened by the Dragonlord sheathing the sky in darkness as Zoma once did. Only the Builder can hear her voice throughout the game, and her words cannot reach them at all in the final chapter of the game until a pious [[Princess Gwaelin|princess]]' prayers counter the malefic mist. Once the castle of [[Tantegel]] and the [[Erdrick Equipment|legendary arms]] are restored, Rubiss praises the Builder and declares their work complete--she states that she and the revived Alefgard will wait for a new hero to appear to slay the Dragonlord. When her divine judgement is questioned, she reaffirms that the builder is forbidden from carrying out an assault on [[Charlock Castle]] and ceases communicating with the player. | |||
During the battle with fiend, Rubiss will intervene and counter the maniac's magical seal by teleporting the friends the builder has made along their journey into the fray to deliver materials, food, and medicinal herbs before spiriting them away to safety. When the Builder proves victorious Rubiss admits she was mistaken, and thanks the little architect from the bottom of her heart before musing that the human spirit is something beyond even her reckoning. | |||
