Hilltop Hut

DRAGON QUEST VIII guide · rest point crossed on the path northward to Trodain

Hilltop Hut serves as a convenient hillside waypoint and Zoom destination along the trail leading to Castle Trodain. Visitors can rest, register save data with the resident nun, and look across the cliffs to spot the ancient ship stranded in the desert sands. Descending into the dry well reveals an odd crown where a trapped King Slime requires assistance to separate into normal slimes.
