Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince

Just down the worn path from Rosehill, Champion Cascade is a pastoral mountain road flanked with towering natural arches that winds down from the highlands and past a roaring waterfall with accompanying lake, which will freeze over in winter and give the player access to a deep cave behind the dry falls. The path terminates into a large meadow down by a river known as Gradely Grasslands and a towering spiral cliffside called Windburnt Bluffs is found to the meadow's east.

This pleasant area serves as the game's training sector to get players accustomed to wrangling monsters, led on by the ever-energetic Fizzy. The player will become familiar with species representing five of the eight monster families, observe the passing of the seasons and that it's well worth it to follow the trails left by the seasonal sprites, how changes in weather affect which monsters are present, and how to forage the natural resources for easy item accumulation. One sterner lesson is to not approach giant monsters flippantly, as the resident cyclops is too much for any new player to handle.

Once she thinks Psaro is up to snuff, Fizzy will teach him the Zoom spell.

Seasonal Changes

• Spring: Causes a large lotus flower to bloom on the west side river under the northern-most natural arch, which takes the player to a small lagoon area where a treasure chest can be found.

• Summer: Vines found on the side of small cliffs grow, allowing the player to clime up to find treasure and monsters usually out of reach.

• Autumn: Piles of leaves appear across the map, containing either items when the player walks into them or monsters that will pop out and chase the player.

• Winter: Freezes all the water in the area allowing the player to walk on the ice, granting access to the hidden cave and its treasure chest.
