"Ah! A steel strongbox! 'Tis every travellin' salesman's dream to have his own one o' these."
—Torneko's appraisal of the safe.
The steel strongbox (Iron safe in the NES Version) is an item in Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen.
Appearances[edit]
Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen[edit]
First seen in Chapter 3, it allows Torneko Taloon to fall in battle without losing half of his money. As with the Talaria and the Sphere of Silence, it will not carry over into the inventory in Chapter 5.
It can be obtained in Chapter 5 if not picked up earlier, but it will be without function. (In the remake, this is explained as the strongbox having worn down.)
Location[edit]
The Steel Strongbox is in the Cave of Safekeeping, on a floor with the trap. The trap entails that anyone picking up the Safe will be trapped in the room until it's put back on the spot. There are two ways to get around the trap:
- Drag a boulder on the floor into the room, and move it in the place occupied by the Safe to keep the door open.
- If you get choose to get it in Chapter 5 or Chapter 6, you can exit the room simply by casting the Evac spell.
