Appearances[edit]
Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation[edit]
Skyfell Tower is home to Robbin' 'Ood and his henchmen, who fled to the spire after stealing the Golden crown from the King of Romaria. The King has requested that the Hero and party apprehend the bandit lord and return his crown, which would start a series of conflicts between the world savior and prince of thieves.
Though this confrontation can be skipped in the NES version of the game, it is mandatory in the the remakes in order for him to show up in the Kidnapper's Cave later on. The crown can be returned to the king for the chance to take on the role of monarch in Romaria but also can be safely left in its chest or kept with no consequences on the further plot.
Treasures[edit]
- 384 gold coins (NES)
- 440 gold coins (remakes)
- Chimaera wing (NES)
- Bronze shield (remakes)
Monsters[edit]
Usage of the Skyfell Tower in another area[edit]
- 6F is used for the top of a tower during the Tower Scenario at the beginning.
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake[edit]
Skyfell Tower is now littered with debris, stolen treasure, and bottles of booze as befitting a den of theives. There is a researcher on the first floor who reminds players that monsters have elemental weaknesses that can be exploited with the appropriate spells and skills, and there is also a bubble slime lounging about while waiting to be recruited.
Romarian knights will arrive on the scene to apprehend Robbin' 'Ood and his gang once they are defeated, but the bandits high tail it off the ledge and make way for a new hideout. The chief knight is furious he let the group get away, but thanks the Hero for helping and announces the Romarian Outpost will be taken out of lockdown now that the crow is secured. Another knight points out that the gate within the outpost is still sealed, however, and the player's best shot at opening it lies with the magic key in Ibis pyramid.

Dragon Quest Tact[edit]
Majellan and Mindini journey to the tower in Chapter 1, Episode 4 of the game's Dragon Quest III event, entitled "An Old Friend...?". The two believe that they are back in Orchesterra after seeing Robbin' 'Ood, believing that he is the very same one from their world. The bandit responds angrily and challenges them to a battle, believing that the two monsters are after his treasure.
- The tower appears once again during the limited True Dragon Quest III event, this time known as the Shampane Tower, as part of Searching for a Legend. The party can acquire Robbin' 'Ood's Thief of Thieves Axe as a reward.
Trivia[edit]
- The Japanese name, Shanpāni (シャンパーニ), is derived from the historical French region of Champagne.
- "Skyfell Tower" is likely derived from the Eiffel Tower, as well as a reference to how the player can leap from the higher floors. The connection to Mr. Eiffel's work of art is further enforced by the tower's location matching up with the real world's France.
