Yggdrasil: Difference between revisions

===Dragon Warrior II===

The player can obtain a '''Leaf of the World Tree''' by traveling south of the [[Sea Cave]] to an island with one tree on it. By searching this tree, the player can obtain the Leaf. The party can only get one leaf at a time from this tree and if the player already has a '''Leaf of the World Tree''', they cannot get another one.

===Dragon Warrior III===

The '''World Tree''' is found in the overworld at the intersection of four lone impassible mountains. By searching this tree, the player can obtain a '''Leaf of the World Tree'''. As in ''Dragon Warrior II'', the party may only have one leaf at a time.

===Dragon Quest IV===

'''Yggdrasil''' is a location in ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''. It appears simply as an immense tree hundreds of times the size of any real-world tree, with the [[Elf|elven]] village of [[El Forado]] at the base. Located slightly east of [[Mintos]], surrounded by a ring of impenetrable mountains, it is only accessible by [[balloon]] flight.

The party visits it late in the game, after acquiring the balloon. After ascending to its boughs, they encounter [[Orifiela]], a [[Zenithian]] who fell from the sky and landed in the Tree's branches. She helps them find the [[Zenithia Sword]], which is nearby, and, after being rescued, agrees to show them the way to [[Zenithia]].

===Dragon Quest VII===

The '''World Tree''' can be found in [[Krage]]. When the party travels there in the past, the '''World Tree''' hasn't blossomed yet. It is a [[Sacred Tree]]. The residents of Krage, under the influence of [[WolfDevil (Boss)|WolfDevil]] try to cut down the tree before it becomes a '''World Tree'''. The party stops this from happening and the tree is able to become a '''World Tree'''. The party can obtain a '''World Leaf''' by going to the '''World Tree'''. If the party does not have a '''World Leaf''', a bird will drop one from the tree for the party to pick up and obtain. If they do, the bird will not drop one. They can also obtain a '''World Dew''' from [[Krage]]. However, only the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VII)|Hero]] can get on line to buy one and if supplies run out before the Hero gets one, the party will have to leave town and enter again to try and get another one. If they already have one, they will not be allowed to buy another.

===Dragon Quest IX===

In ''[[Dragon Quest IX]]'' the tree is part of the central plot and appears at the top of the [[Observatory]]. The Yggdrasil is considered the gateway to the realm of the Almighty, as when it blossoms the [[Starlight Express]] comes to ferry [[Celestrian|Celestrians]]. However, as part of the events of the game, when the tree blossoms, it instead causes a disaster in the [[Observatory]]. It is later revealed that Yggdrasil is in fact the goddess [[Celestria]], the daughter of the Almighty, [[Zenus]]. She became Yggdrasil to show Zenus that even though mortals were flawed, some still have good in their hearts.

[[wikipedia:Yggdrasil|Yggdrasil]] comes from Norse mythology. It literally means [[wikipedia:World Tree|World Tree]] and it is the tree that supports the entire world.
