The Great Pit of Giaga is a key location in the overworld of Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation.
The cave is on an island to the right of the Necrogond Shrine
It is only accessible via Ramia, and serves as the sole connection between the Hero's world and the underworld.
Appearances
Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation
Before defeating Baramos, the pit is guarded by two men and completely surrounded by a wall. This prevents anyone from entering the pit.
After the defeat of Baramos, the pit has been enlarged by Zoma's minions in preparation to raid the overworld. Only one of the guards is still alive and the pit is now easily accessible, allowing entrance into the Underworld.
Nearby monsters
Remakes
- Prior to Baramos' defeat, a guard informs the Hero and party that confusion can be cured by striking the inflicted ally. The Cell phone port ironically keeps this advise even with the mechanic removed.
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake
The pit's walls now include the same colossal statues seen in the Maw of the Necrogond. The walls are destroyed when Zoma enters the world to make his declaration of war in Aliahan, leaving an impenetrable miasma lingering in the pit. This can only be cleared by the Sphere of Light, meaning the player must speak with the Dragon Queen before entering the underworld and prevents the player from facing Zoma without the crucial gem.
When the Hero and the party leap into the pit a cutscene will play showing their descent, based on the opening of the Dragon Quest 25th Anniversary Collection released in 2011. During the end credits the pit is still shown to be open despite what the in-game text implies upon Zoma's defeat, with the minister of the Necrogond Shrine and the lone remaining guard looking over the abyss.
