The gospel ring is an accessory that increases luck by 50, and allows the party to avoid random encounters. It's available in the [[Casino]] in the [[Pioneer Town]] for 250,000 tokens.

===''[[Dragon Quest VI]]'' (remakes only)===
The gospel ring is an accessory that increases defense by +15, and style by +30. It is obtainable at the [[Alltrades Abbey (Dragon Quest VI)|Alltrades Abbey]] by speaking to the Abbot after getting to the 5th level of each [[vocation]].

'''Memories Lane''' is a new dungeon in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of ''[[Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King]]''. It can be unlocked as a prize by the [[Lord of the Dragovians]] after completing one of the Dragovian Trials. It can be reached by visiting the special chamber located behind [[Marta's Cottage]].

==Story==
The dungeon contains 15 chambers spread between four hallways, each with a boss encounter that the party has fought before, but this time they are much more powerful and require the party to be at the highest levels and equipped with the strongest equipment. At the end of each hallway, there are tablets which restore the party's HP and MP completely. There are also shortcut hallways that are unlocked after the 6th and 14th bosses are defeated. This eventually culminates in a chamber containing [[Estark]], the ultimate evil.

==Treasures==
After defeating most of the bosses, the party will be rewarded to a room containing treasure chests, two regular and one purple. Purple chests contain a random attribute-boosting seed and get replenished each day.
*[[Elfin elixir]]
*[[Ethereal stone]]
*[[Mini medal]] x5

*[[Metal slime]]
*[[Liquid metal slime]]

The '''Godbird Sceptre''', also known as the '''Sceptre of Trodain''' and '''Rhapthorne's Sceptre''', is an essential item in ''Dragon Quest VIII'' and a powerful [[Heavy Wand Weapon Family|wand]] in ''Dragon Quest XI''.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ8}}===
When [[Rhapthorne]] battled against the Seven Sages in the distant past and was defeated, [[Empyrea]] the Godbird created a sceptre specifically designed to seal away Rhapthorne's soul. Rhapthorne's body was imprisoned inside the the Goddess Statue located at the [[The Holy Isle of Neos|Neos]]. The staff was transported to the [[Kingdom of Trodain|Castle of Trodain]], were it was kept and guarded for many, many years.

But one day a jester named [[Dhoulmagus]], deeply desiring to become of the greatest magician of all time, learns about the sceptre from a book his teacher, Master Rylus, kept in his house. He then departs for Castle Trodain to impresses [[King Trode]] with his magic as a ruse. King Trode then allows Dhoulmagus to stay at the castle, and it is there when Dhoulmagus breaks into the chamber were the sceptre is kept. Dhoulmagus, overwhelmed by the power, gets possessed by the spirit of Rhapthorne and curses King Trode, his daughter [[Princess Medea]], and the rest of people in the castle, with the exception of the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|Hero]]. This chain of events begins the game's plot, and the hunt for Dhoulmagus begins as the jester is used to pick off the descendants of the Seven Sages, starting with his former teacher. Even after Dhoulmagus' death, Rhapthorne is able to possess anyone who touches the staff and continues his killing spree.

Four characters will be taken hold of by Rhapthorne over the course of the adventure, being Dhoulmagus, [[Jessica Albert]], [[Sir Leopold]], and the templar [[Marcello]]. Jessica aside, each will murder one of the descendants of those who stood against Rhapthorne:

*Master Rylus - Descendant of Gozo; killed by Dhoulmagus
*Alistair Albert - Descendant of Alexander; killed by Dhoulmagus
*Abbot Francisco - Descendant of Eagus; killed by Dhoulmagus
*Mr. Golding - Descendant of Golding; killed by Dhoulmagus
*David - Descendant of Kupas; killed by possessed Sir Leopold, Dominoco's dog
*Marta - Descendant of Kadan; killed by possessed Sir Leopold
*The Lord High Priest - Descendant of Regnar; killed by possessed Marcello

Once the sceptre is void of the demon's spirit, Empyrea retrieves it and instructs the protagonists on how to destroy the barrier protecting the revived Rhapthorne. The Godbird breaks up the Sceptre into miniature ones, one for each party member, and each must then use their sceptre in the same turn while Rhapthorne attacks them. Once all four members use the Sceptre, a spirit of one of the [[Seven Sages]] is released from the sceptre. Once all Seven Sages are released, the barrier around Rhapthorne will be destroyed and the final fight will begin.

==={{DQ11}}===
The Godbird Sceptre becomes a weapon exclusive to 3DS and ''Dragon Quest XI S'' versions. It provides the highest Magical Might stat in the game, and is the reward for completing the third level of the Hall of Rememberance in [[Tickington]].

==={{DQR}}===
The sceptre appears as a two-star card in the game.

==Trivia==
*Marcello shows considerable resistance to Rhapthorne's influence, with the archfiend even stating his gratitude to the party for defeating the templar and making it easier to control him after their battle at Neos. This implies that possession is not automatic and that those with stronger wills and mental fortitude can save themselves from becoming a puppet. This is supported by Dhoulmagus' tenuous grasp on his sanity and Sir Leopold being an animal. Jessica is also controlled by Rhapthrone when she picks up the sceptre after the battle in the [[Dark Ruins]] but does not kill the remaining protagonists when given the chance, speaking the loaded sentence ''"I just don't have it in me"'' when confronted at Dominico's mansion. Her possession can be attributed to the mental and physical exhaustion after the battle to the death against Dhoulmagus as well as her sense of relief at having (seemingly) avenged the murder of her brother Alistair, and her withdraw from the first encounter with the party being her struggling against the manipulation

'''Lord Rhapthorne''' is the central antagonist of ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''. A demon of untold power and ambition to dominate the worlds of darkness and light, Rhapthorne is the party's final opponent in their quest to rid their world of an evil curse.

==Characteristics==
Rhapthorne is among the most proactive demon lords in the series, taking direct action to further his agenda and confronting his foes head-on whenever possible instead of lurking withing an isolated lair. This remains true even when he is rendered a disembodied soul trapped within the [[Godbird sceptre]], manipulating the negative emotions and thoughts of those who touch the staff until they become a blinded puppet able to serve his needs and leading to outright possession in two instances. In a break from the series' tradition of the Archfiend being a distant figure removed from much of the narrative, Rhapthorne is actually present from the very beginning of the game thanks to [[Dhoulmagus]]' theft of the sceptre. He is aware of the party's actions against him from the start, and as such his loathing for them is significantly more personal than that of final foes past.

Rhapthorne's original appearance is never seen within the game itself, only alluded to in a mural found within the [[Dark Ruins]] where he is depicted as a monsterous robed figure with an unkempt beard. When his body is freed, he takes the form of a diminutive purple demon with large goat horns, a carapace covered torso, an insect's wing casing, and glowing bulb of energy in lieu of legs. After merging with the magical engine that powers his flying castle, the [[Black Citadel]], Rhapthorne has the upper half of an obese exaggeration of his previous form due to becoming over-saturated with magical energy. His horns are greatly enlarged, his wings have become larger and bat-like, his lower body has solidified into a fleshy bulb with eight spikes arranged in a circular pattern, and his body is adorned with tattoos in a flame-like pattern that are a darker shade of purple than his skin.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ8}}===
Rhapthorne was born in the [[World of Darkness]], subjugating it with an onslaught of loyal followers and overwhelming magical force. Rhapthorne's ambition drove him to attempt to invade the [[World of Light]] as well, bringing him into conflict with the [[Seven Sages]] and [[Empyrea]] the Godbird. The battle between the two forces nearly rent the world of darkness asunder, but the forces of light proved victorious and the demon was slain. Fearing that Rhapthorne would be revived in the future and menace the world once again long after their deaths, the Seven Sages split his soul from his body and sealed them away to prevent his resurrection. His lifeless body was sealed within a massive rock on a craggy atoll that would one day become the [[Neos|Holy Isle of Neos]], where it was chiseled by the sage Alexander into a statue of the Goddess to avoid being tampered with by humans. Empyrea and the sages created a prison for Rhapthorne's soul in the form of the [[Godbird sceptre]], a tall staff that would be entrusted to the royal family of [[Castle Trodain]] and remain guarded for centuries.

Rumors of the staff began to circulate the world in the intervening years, developing into a legend that it possesses incredible magical might that could turn the most humble dabbler into a powerful sorcerer. This is what drew the attention of Dhoulmagus, the failed student of Master Rylus of [[Farebury]]. Posing as a wandering jester, Dhoulmagus infiltrates the castle and steals the staff. Rhapthorne seizes this importunity and takes full advantage of the overwrought bitterness within the man, testing him by transforming [[King Trode]] and [[Princess Medea]] into mockeries of themselves when they attempt to stop him as a test before placing a curse on Castle Trodain that turns the inhabitants into plants and wraps the structure in a wall of immense thorns to prevent anyone within with knowledge of the sceptre's menace from following him. Unaware that a certain [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|guardsman]] remained unaffected by the curse and that the King and Princess of the castle were spared by, Rhapthorne influences Dhoulmagus into murdering the descendants of the Seven Sages to break the seal on the sceptre and begins with Rylus.

Rhapthorne's killings earned him several powerful foes in the forms of [[Jessica Albert]] and [[Angelo]], whose brother and foster father were assassinated by Dhoulmagus respectively. The mage and priest would join the cursed King and his company as the pursued Dhoulmagus across several continents. The jester's rampage would be put to an end inside the depths of the dark ruins in the northwestern island of the world, but Jessica would place her hands on the sceptre after the battle and become Rhapthorne's new vessel. Though still carrying strong negative feelings over the murder of her brother, Jessica is unable to be fully controlled by Rhapthorne and avoids killing a descendant herself. When confronted by the party in the city of [[Arcadia]] Jessica loses her grip on the staff, which is retrieved by a dog named [[Sir Leopold]]. Being an animal, Rhapthorne is able to fully possess the hound and continues his rampage until Leopold is killed in battle against the party in [[Savella Cathedral]].

It is here when Angelo's scheming half-brother [[Marcello]] takes hold of the staff and uses it to kill the Lord High Priest of the cathedral after having the party arrested on accusation of the murder. Marcello is strong willed enough to resist being manipulated by Rhapthorne, but when defeated in battle he becomes too mentally exhausted to continue and becomes fully possessed. With the final descendant killed, Rhapthorne unseals his body on Neos and summons the Black Citadel to the world of light. The party invades the citadel with the aid of Empyrea, and defeats Rhapthorne in the heart of the fortress. Refusing to die so soon after his resurrection, Rhapthorne absorbs the magic contained within the citadel and becomes a colossus protected by in impenetrable barrier. He then summons all of his forces from the world of darkness and commands them to besiege all around them, replacing the normal encounters for the remainder of the game.

When the party gathers [[Six Orbs|six legendary orbs]] to allow the Seven Sages to weaken Rhapthorne's barrier, they ride upon Empyrea's back and channel their power into replicas of the Godbird sceptre to shatter the shield. The climactic battle in the high skies ends with the heroes victorious and Rhapthorne's soul completely eradicated, with the curse he laid upon Castle Trodain and its people fading shortly after.

*Rhapthorne's diminutive first form bears a slight resemblance to real world [[wikipedia:Sea angel|sea angels]]. Both feature prominent bio-luminescence in their abdomens, stubby appendages, and the Angel's antennae approximate with Rhapthorne's horns.
*When possessing both [[Dhoulmagus]] and [[Leopold]], both hosts developed large, black-feathered wings reminiscent of a bird of prey. Neither of Rhapthorne's actually bodies have these traits, with his petite form bearing no wings at all, and his larger form having smaller bat-like wings.
*In ''Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2'', the evil scepter Rhapthorne weilds is called [[Malevolence]].
