Chapter 4 : Meena and Maya and the Mahabala Mystery
Laissez Fayre
Maya is a dancer here and her sister Meena is a fortune teller. They are after Balzack the man who killed their father. Laissez Fayre is the capital of Libeccio and the girls are looking for Balzack as Maya dances. Manager Artois is Maya’s boss and he hands Maya 100 Gold for her work dancing. As you wake up, search the pots for a Medicinal Herb and then go west back into the stage area and then the manager’s room. Search for a Silk Robe (for Maya) and a Seed of Strength.
Back in town, search the southwest house for 5 Gold and a Leather Hat. The Inn has 20 Gold and a shaman guarding the exit to some female in the back. The place attached to the Inn has stairs up and a Wayfarer’s Clothes in the cabinet.
Before you leave town, sell that Dancer’s Costume. You fetch a good deal of money from it but hang onto said money (you should have close to 500 Gold). The next town has a weapon even nicer than the one’s here and you can afford it now too. Always sell this Dancer’s Costume, in Dragon Warrior IV Mara Nara’s Chapter as well.
If you come back to town at night, you can get by the Shaman in the Inn. Talk to the lady who says she has been summoned to the Palais de Leon but she heard that some mutated enemy (through alchemy) has executed a coup de grace. Check the bar before you leave for an Antidotal Herb.
Aubout du Monde
You might want to level up once or twice for your two ladies, but like I said just save your Gold until you reach Aubout du Monde, just north of Laissez Fayre. This is your hometown and you will hear a lot about your dad Mr Mahabala. Also you can stay at the Inn for free.
The center house has a Leather Shield for Meena and you will hear about an apprentice to your father, Oojam. Now go to the Item Shop, east part of town. Sell Meena’s Copper Sword and then buy a Chain Sickle for her. Suddenly she becomes a formidable attacker, similar to Kiryl in Alena’s Chapter.
In the northeast part of town is a dog named Puppadom that recognizes the girls. Talk to the old man to here Oojam is at a western cave. Inside the north building is a Seed of Magic and 35 Gold Coins. Finally, take the Seed of Life at your father’s grave in the back yard and leave town.
Fight around for a bit before you enter that cave west of the bridge. Try to get a Hunter’s Bow or Divine Dagger for Maya so that her attacks aren’t so putrid.
Sphere of Silence Cave
Take the west bridge and into the Cave. A Chimaera Wing is along the route, and then you will see a weird transport type device in the northeast. This takes you to B1.
Head west at the intersection for another teleport device going down to B2. Travel east and south until you reach a bridge in the middle of the watery area. The Night Light is here along with Oojam, an apprentice to your father! He too is looking for the Sphere of Silence to stop Balzack. It’s funny because Oojam is a complete goof in this game; as Orin in Dragon Warrior IV I always pictured him as a bad dude that pretty much slaughters any enemy in this chapter. In the DS version though I lost a little respect for him with the way he talks.
But I digress. Head to the transporter to B1, and this time go south and then west at the fork for 240 Gold Coins. Take the east route this time for a Seed of Life and another transporter to a different part of B2. This one takes a while but finally leads to the Sphere of Silence! You can now leave this cave.
Havre Leon
With Oojam in your party, traveling north of Aubout du Monde should be no problem. Venture past the castle and to the port town of Havre Leon. The best equipment in this chapter can be found here, notably a Fur Coat for Maya and a Half Plate Armor / Scale Shield for Meena. Also though a Holy Lance for Meena and a Poison Moth Knife for Maya.
Not much to find here in terms of treasure but a guy in a jail cell mentions using Gunpowder to scare the counselor, and that you can find Gunpowder at Mamon Mine. Might want to remember this.
Mamon Mine
West of Havre Leon is a shrine, where you will hear your prophesy. West of this is a village in despair, Mamon Mine. People are dying because of the monsters and gas coming from the mine here. Talk to the older guy in the west house about the Gunpowder and the Chancellor. He has a Medicinal Herb here too. Check the Inn for a Leather Hat. The northeast house is a lady who takes care of the folks around here, and a Phial of Holy Water in the cabinet.
Enter the mine when you are rested and ready. Tough monsters are down here. Just to the east is a dude who warns you and a Seed of Magic. North of here is a special weapon, a Deck of Silver Tarot Cards. Take the stairs east of here.
On this floor, head north but go west when you can. There is a Seed of Life by the grave and 50 Gold in the north part. Take the east stairs to see some miners and a Powder Keg. Cast Evac to get out of here.
Palais de Leon
This is the big castle a stones throw south of Havre Leon. With Oojam in your party, you can break the lock on these doors. Enter the east door and check out the Chancellor’s dresser for 200 Gold Coins.
Now use the Powder Keg outside of his room. The Chancellor will panic and head to the throne room which is a secret area by the north stone wall. Search the wall and enter.
The Marquis Regent Balzack is here. Rest up and talk to the king. Balzack talks bad about your dad Mahabala and proclaims that Balzack himself has perfected the Secret of Evolution. As this battle begins, use the Sphere of Silence and then Sap on him. He cannot cast spells and his defense is terrible now. Otherwise he will cast spells like Sizz. He can still cough up fireballs to attack everyone, and his physical attacks can be quite destructive. Balzack has some valor as well, you will need to do about 300 damage or so to him to best him. 500 EXP is your reward.
Unfortunately for your party, Marquis de Leon shows up. He is the true ruler of this castle and mentions how Psaro would be upset if they lost the castle. So, he attacks your party. Do not worry when you get trounced, for you cannot win. His physical attacks will do you in easily.
The party wakes up in the jail cell next to the former King of Palais de Leon, the one that the monsters supplanted. Marquis de Leon is actually his son who screwed his father over and threw him in jail. Destroy the boulders for a Seed of Strength and then go south for a Boarding Pass. Take the route out, but the stairs come up in the middle of the entrance. The guards attack you and Oojam sacrifices himself. If you return to the castle you can talk to Oojam one last time.
Havre Leon
Rest up and save. Take the northwest exit for the port. Before you enter the boat get the 15 Gold and Medicinal Herb outside the boat. Not much to do on the boat though you should get the Seed of Magic in the lower floor, and you have to talk to everyone to get the boat moving. Go up and talk to the Captain; you cannot return so burn the rest of your gold on weapons / armor that you can use later.
Meena and Maya make their way to Endor and Chapter 4 ends.
In dragonquest 4 in Endor where i get the liquid metal armour there r chests on the other side of the room how do i get them?
Easy. You need the Magic Key though (maybe Ultimate Key too). Go towards the Endor Coliseum (where you fought with Alena). As you take the long route on either side of the Endor castle, you look for a spot to go towards the center. You will need the Ultimate Key to enter, I think. Anyway this leads to a few staircases and you will be very high. Jump down after this and you will be on the roof of that building with the Liquid Metal Armour. Take the staircase down and you will be in that room with the treasures (they aren’t that special anyway).
