Yellow Orb: Difference between revisions

The Yellow 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 [[Murdaw]], [[Mortamor]], and (at certain level ranges) [[Nokturnus]] legacy bosses.

The Yellow Orb is the second-place prize of the Masked Martial Arts tournament in [[Octagonia]]. The {{Hero 11}} and his {{Party 11}} members pay little attention to this initially, as they are after the first-place prize, the [[Rainbough]]. However, several {{NPC}}s say that they would rather have the Orb than the Rainbough, and {{Serena 11}} mentions that she thinks the Orb is pretty--a possible hint as to the orb's later importance. [[Jade]] and [[Rab]] receive the orb after winning second place in the MMA tournament. Similar to [[Erik]] giving the Red Orb to the {{Hero 11}} when he finds out its use, when Rab and Jade learn that the Yellow Orb is one of the Orbs needed to reach [[Yggdrasil]], they give their prize to the {{Hero 11}}.

During Act 2, the Yellow Orb is in the possession of the Spectral Sentinel [[Gyldygga]], who uses it to temporarily turn the main characters to gold in the boss battle against her. It is unknown whether she used the orb to help her spread the Gold Fever. In the events following Gyldygga's defeat, the Orb lands in [[Erik]]'s hand. He gives the Orb back to the {{Hero 11}} during the aftermath of the fight.
