They have agreed to help the archaeologist, Dr Phlegming, head west to investigate the ruins known as the Quarantomb. The ruins are delightfully infested with Metal Slimes. The party follows the road west from Coffinwell into Western Coffinwell. At the northern end of the road, the party finds the next dungeon, the Quarantomb (time index 4:54). They find Dr Phlegming waiting inside the Quarantomb's entry hall. Oh dear, it looks like the wall collapsed. Yes, Dr Wimpy, we'll keep you safe. After passing through the collapsed wall, the party finds themselves in a labyrinth of sorts (time index 5:46). However, it is pretty easy to navigate due to its grid layout and the upper screen map. Right in front of them, the party finds an inscription on a triangular stone, and ... Metal Slime! Heading east, the party fights the first Metal Slime. The experience from this critter allow Heorot to reach Minstrel Level 15, where he earns 4 skill points (time index 7:20). He puts these into Sword Skill for a total of 21. Also, Angelo reaches Priest Level 14, learns the Insulate spell, and earns 4 skill points. He puts 1 point into Faith for a total of 16 to learn Natural Magical Mending +20 and 3 into Spear Skill for a total of 6. Also, Debora reaches Thief Level 14 and earns 4 skill points. She puts these into Sword Skill for a total of 11. By chance, the next battle they get into has another Metal Slime. At the end of this battle, Jessica reaches Mage Level 14 and earns 4 skill points (time index 11:38). She puts these into Wand Skill for a total of 7 to learn the Antimagic ability. Anyway, after these distractions, the party examines the red and blue doors north of the triangular stone (time index 14:01). There are enormous mirrors set at intervals throughout this labyrinth. In the area's southeast corner, they find a red chest with a Slipweed (time index 15:13). In an ensuing battle with some Earthenwarriors, Debora reaches Thief Level 15 and earns 4 skill points (time index 17:40). She puts 2 into Sword Skill for a total of 13 to learn Metal Slash and 2 into Acquisitiveness for a total of 13. After killing another Metal Slime, Heorot reaches Minstrel Level 16 and learns Crackle (time index 19:06). Jessica reaches Mage Level 15 and earns 4 skill points. She puts 3 into Spellcraft for a total of 18 to learn Natural Magical Might +20 and 1 into Wand Skill for a total of 8. Angelo reaches Priest Level 15 and earns 4 skill points. He puts 1 into Spear Skill for a total of 7 to learn Attack +10 with Spears and 3 into Wand Skill to learn Max MP +10 with Wands. In the middle of the easternmost north-south corridor, the party finds a red chest with Mini Medal #005 (time index 21:25). In the northeast corner, the party finds a statue with a red wand (time index 23:08). When the press the button, it fires a red ray that bounces off the mirrors to the red and blue door. Running west, the party encounters yet another Metal Slime. After this battle, Debora reaches Thief Level 16 and learns Accelerate (time index 23:51). To the west, the party finds a red chest that contains a Seed of Skill (time index 24:46). In the northwest corner, the party finds a statue with a blue wand (time index 25:04). Pushing the button on this causes it to fire a blue ray that bounces off the mirrors to the red and blue door. The door is now open! Heading south, the party encounters another lovely Metal Slime. At the end of this battle, Heorot reaches Minstrel Level 17 and earns 4 skill points (time index 26:22). He puts them into Sword Skill for a total of 25 and learns Critical Hit Rate Up with Swords at 22. He earns the Fab Fencer accolade for learning his fourth Sword Skill. Jessica reaches Mage Level 16 and learns Crackle. Angelo reaches Priest Level 16 and learns Midheal. Thanks for watching! This video is part of my Dragon Quest IX Playthrough playlist.
