Heliodor Castle

DRAGON QUEST® XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age™ - Definitive Edition guide · The dungeon and escape

Branded as the Darkspawn upon meeting King Carnelian, the Luminary is thrown into the dungeon cells underneath Heliodor Castle. After partnering with a fellow captive named Erik, you escape through an excavated tunnel into the sewers, eluding castle guards through stealth or combat. The flight culminates in a race to survive a slumbering Black Dragon in its lair before making a daring leap off a cliff outside.
