The Darktree leaf is a key item in Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King.
It is a leaf taken from a great tree growing in the World of Darkness and is used by the party in their quest to prevent Rhapthorne, the Lord of Darkness, from returning to power once again.
Details[edit]
In the distant past, the Darktree leaf was one of the possessions of Kupas, one of the Seven Sages who helped seal away Rhapthorne long ago. Kupas kept the leaf hidden away in case it was ever needed again in the future. According to the elven maiden Raya, the leaf was taken from a giant tree that exists in the World of Darkness. It has the ability to reveal the location of great evil when it is placed on a map.
After the events in the World of Darkness, the party has lost track of the evil Sir Leopold and Rhapthorne's sceptre and they eventually make their way to the hidden village of Tryan Gully with the help of the Godbird's soulstone. There, they find a society where Humans, Elves, and monsters coexist peacefully together and meet the elf Raya. She believes that it was the guidance of Kupas that led the party to the village and she offers them the gully's treasure in their quest to stopping the revival of Rhapthorne. When the darktree leaf is used in conjunction with the world map, it leads them to the Lord High Priest's residence at Savella Cathedral, where they encounter Sir Leopold once again.
