Dragon Quest Heroes DLC included on-disc in western release
Dragon Quest Heroes - DLC Episodes FREE!
If you followed any of the information about the Japanese launch of Dragon Quest Heroes, you may have noticed that they followed up their release with a whole bunch of DLC episodes that players can enjoy, with all kinds of costumes and even an additional playable character as a reward for beating them. Well, there’s some good news about that, because for you guys in North America and Europe, all of those DLC episodes will be right on the disc, FREE!
The DLC episodes become available once you’ve completed the main story up to a certain point and by meeting a few conditions. Most of them will be available to play after beating the king hydra, so you might want to keep an eye out for some letters to arrive at the post office. And if you’re thinking, why would there be a post office in Dragon Quest Heroes, well, how else are the heroes going to get mail!? Anyway, these letters might be requests for help or even challenges, and if you’re up to try them, the rewards are going to be awesome!
And you can expect to get a lot mail, too! You’ll get unique stories and battles for Alena and Kiryl, Maya, Terry, Bianca and Nera, Terry, AND Yangus and Jessica! Many of these quests and battles are going to be a blast of nostalgia for you guys. You’ll face some pretty tough opponents from Dragon Quest titles in the past, including a few super bosses! Scary!
But I think one of the coolest quests is the one that gets you mixed up with none other than Psaro, the Manslayer. For those that don’t know him, he’s the bad guy of Dragon Quest IV, and with a name like that, Healix would definitely be pretty scared! Healix is scared of a lot of things, though, so you’ll get used to it. As for Psaro, just like in the Nintendo DS remake of that game, if you can beat him, you can get him on your team as playable character!
• Completing
Alena’s episode will get you her original Dragon Quest IV costume! I think she looks really cute with the tights! 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!
• 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 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. Maybe it’d be a good idea to stock up on ice resistant equipment before taking on this challenge! This beefy guy is
Nokturnus, the hardest boss in Dragon Quest VI! Goooooood luck!
• Here’s
Psaro the Manslayer himself! He’s the only character that can equip greatswords! Psaro’s form changes when he uses his coup de grace! He will burn his surroundings with the heat ray that he shoots from his eyes!
Again, all of the additional stories and boss battles introduced in this blog are included in the game, and are available to play at no extra charge on the day of release as long as you meet the requirements to accept the quest. I hope you guys enjoy it, and let me know if you have any questions! If there’s enough interest, I can totally share more details about these super cool bonuses with you guys. Also, don’t forget to try out the game on a PS4 kiosk at North American Best Buy and GameStop stores near you! Talk to you soon!
