The Heliodor Sewers are a dungeon located underneath Heliodor Castle in Dragon Quest XI.
Story[edit]
After making their escape from the prison cells of Heliodor Castle, the Luminary and Erik find themselves in the sewers and search for a way out. However, guards from the castle eventually catch up to them and the two are forced to run away. At this point, it is possible to battle the guards and Erik will be able to help out as an uncontrollable ally. The player can choose to hide behind the tall crates to avoid detection and slip past the guards with Erik in the lead.
When Erik and the Luminary get to the next bridge, they are suddenly surrounded on both sides by guards. This causes the bridge to give way, throwing everyone into the water below. They regain consciousness in a dark cavern, having lost the trail of the guards. The two are not out of danger yet, as the caverns are actually the lair of a sleeping black dragon, who wakes up and starts to chase after them. If the dragon catches up the player at any point, they will be forced into a battle. Erik and the Luminary are able to make their way through a space too small for the dragon to get through, but it uses its flame breath against them, which they only narrowly escape from.
Just as the two try to catch their breath, they are found out by a group of Heliodorian guards. The guards give chase to a rocky cliff outside. The hooded thief tells his companion that he has faith in the Luminary and they decide to make a leap of faith. When the two wake up, they find themselves in the Heliodorian Foothills.

Trivia[edit]
- During the chase sequence with the dragon, a number of monsters can be seen in the caverns running away as well, including platypunks, lamplings, and metal slimes, but none can be encountered.
- Defeating the black dragon during the player's first visit to the sewers is not impossible, but it requires either overleveling or the usage of exploits. In either case, the story will progress normally whether or not the player fled from the dragon or defeated it, with only minor changes in the scene. The Dragon Slayer Accolade can be earned at any point during the game.
