Orochi's Lair

From Dragon Quest Wiki
(Redirected from Cave Northeast of Zipangu)

The Orochi's Lair[1] is a volcanic cave in Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation. It is nearly adjacent to Jipang, and houses the altar on which maidens from the golden land are sacrificed to the eponymous serpent.

It was once visited by The Hero's father, the great Ortega during his travels through the world.[2]

Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation[edit]

The lair is a simple dungeon, consisting of two floors with a direct route with few branches. Metal slimes appear fairly regularly and in large groups, giving the party a chance to level up before facing the dragon.

If the altar on B2F is examined, it is mentioned as the possible place where sacrifices to Orochi are left.

  • On the second floor, Orochi's growls can be heard as the party approaches her.

Usage of Orochi's Lair in another area[edit]

Dragon Quest Tact[edit]

Majellan and the Master journey to Orochi's Lair during the Dragon Quest III in search of the missing Mindini. They reach the heart of the volcano and face Orochi in battle after seeing that she has gobbled up Mindini. Afterwards, Orochi spits the pink sanguini up, sending her even further into Manoza.
