The Tower of Nod is a tower in Dragon Quest IX.
It is located to the north of Coffinwell on the world map and is only accessible via the Starflight Express after the main story of the game has been completed.
It serves as the primary location of one of the quests available through the DQVC. The Tower of Nod has the distinction of being the only location where the player can encounter Metal king slimes outside of Grottoes, although they only appear rarely.
