Guide for DRAGON QUEST XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition (2024)

If you followed this guide through Acts one, two and three, you should have all 25 pastwords. Now that you know all the Pastwords, it's time to return to Tinkerton. Make sure you have a magic water (You can buy one at most item shops). Also, use your Forge to make an extra supreme sage's staff. You can zoom back to the entrance. Tinkerton and the worlds of the past are all in 2D. There are a few key differences.

-All of the menus have changed configuration, especially in battle.

-In Combat, you choose your teams actions, then the round happens, with everyone taking a turn in order. The party will try to follow your orders to the best they can. For instance, if you command Jade to attack a metal slime, but the slime goes first and flees, Jade will instead attack a different enemy. This makes combat more dangerous.

-some enemies have weaker stats in 2D. Most notably, MP is capped at 999 and cannot be infinite. Sometimes attack or defense is lower, too.

-Random encounters will happen. Hero has a spell to prevent the weakest random encounters, but it doesn't last long.

-You cannot use the forge.

However, If you are following this walkthrough, you'll be level 99 with some of the strongest gear. Battles should be a cakewalk for you. Also, you can rest at the inn in Tinkerton, free of charge. If you have defeated Calasmos, you should receive an item when you enter Tinkerton. Walk right up to the altar chamber, and start with the Altar of Origins.
