The Purple Orb required to hatch [[Ramia]], and it is held by [[Pimiko]] in the village of [[Jipang]]. Pimiko is really the [[Orochi]] in disguise. By entering the [[Orochi's Lair|Cave Northeast of Jipang]] and fighting the Orochi, the heroes cause it to retreat into a nearby teleportal. Taking the magical gate themselves, the heroes are transported to in Pimiko's chamber in Jipang. After fighting the Orochi a second time in the chamber, she leaves behind the Purple Orb after being killed.

The Purple Orb reappears in Dragon Quest IX as a very exotic alchemy ingredient, used for some of the highest [[Lists_of_alchemy_recipes_in_Dragon_Quest_IX|alchemy recipes]]. It is a rare drop from [[Dhoulmagus]], [[Rhapthorne]], and (at certain level ranges) [[Nokturnus]] legacy bosses.

The Purple Orb is found in a small chamber beneath the ruins of [[Zwaardsrust]]. A troubadour in the nearby [[Warrior's Rest Inn]] sings a song that hints at the orb's location. The [[treasure chest]] with the orb is behind a red locked door, meaning the [[party]] must obtain the [[Magic key]] in [[Phnom Nonh]] first. [[Rab]]'s party talk dialogue after the magic key is collected mentions the locked door in Zwaardsrust--another helpful hint for first-time players.

During Act 2, the Purple Orb is in the possession of the Spectral Sentinel [[Tyriant]], who uses it to create a shadow double of himself in the boss battle against him. When Tyriant falls, the Hero regains the Purple Orb. This makes the Purple Orb the first orb regained in Act 2, as Tyriant is the first Spectral Sentinel to be defeated.

[[Jasper]] also appears to be holding and using the Purple Orb when he attacks the party at [[Yggdrasil]]. It is never specifically mentioned that this is the Purple Orb, but from the look of the item and the in-game context, it seems very likely.
