Insula Algarum

From Dragon Quest Wiki

The Insula Algarum is an island located off the southern coast of the Snærfelt in Dragon Quest XI. It is surrounded by jagged cliffs and is populated mainly by flying monsters. The mermaids of Erdrea are said to favor the island due to the pharyngitis-curing properties of the seaweed found growing by there.[1]

  1. NPC fisherman on the island: The dulcet dulse that abounds around this island is highly sought after by the daughters of water. It cures sore throats as fast as lightning—it's almost frightening! It would be a good thing, but when those sirens start singing, they won't stop till your ears are ringing! Bwah hah hah hah!
