Dragon Quest Heroes’ European and North American launch next month will include all the post-launch DLC from the Japanese release free on day one, Square Enix has announced.
The DLC includes unique stories and battles for Alena and Kiryl, Maya, Terry, Bianca and Nera, Terry, and Yangus and Jessica.
Some of that DLC is detailed below:
Alena’s Episode – Completing Alena’s episode will get you her original Dragon Quest IV costume. Alena’s episode brings her into a competition for the Colissea Cup. Completing the quest will get you alternate arranged costumes for both the tomboy Tsarevna and her loyal friend, Kiryl and rare accessories.
Bjørn Boss Battle – Meet Bjørn the Behemoose, one of the largest bosses in the series. He first appeared in Dragon Quest V as a terrible evil that Nera’s family sealed away. Since Bjørn is so huge, you’ll have to jump on his massive body and deal damage to him that way.
The Great Demon Lord Zoma Boss Battle – The scary looking monster here is The Great Demon Lord Zoma, the final boss of Dragon Quest III. Zoma will freeze your party with a strong ice spell.
Nokturnus Boss Battle – The hardest boss in Dragon Quest VI.
Psaro, The Manslayer Boss Battle – He’s the only character that can equip greatswords. Psaro’s form changes when he uses his coup de grâce! He will burn his surroundings with the heat ray that he shoots from his eyes. Just like in the Nintendo DS remake of Dragon Quest IV, if you can beat him, you can get him on your team as playable character.
The DLC episodes become available once you’ve completed the main story up to a certain point and by meeting a few conditions, which Square Enix says is likely to be after beating the king hydra. Keep an eye out for some letters to arrive at the in-game post office.
Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree’s Woe and the Blight Below launches on PS4 in the UK on October 16.
