The Orochi's Lair[1] is a volcanic cave in Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation. It is adjacent to Jipang, and houses the altar on which maidens from the golden land are sacrificed to the eponymous serpent.
It was once visited by the Hero's father, the great Ortega during his travels through the world.[2]
Appearances[edit | edit source]
Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation[edit | edit source]
The lair is a simple dungeon, consisting of two floors with a direct route with few branches. Metal slimes appear fairly regularly and in large groups, giving the party a chance to level up before facing the dragon.
If the altar on B2F is examined, it is mentioned as the possible place where sacrifices to Orochi are left.
Treasures[edit | edit source]
- Mask of Implacability
- Orochi's sword (automatically obtained after battle)

- On the second floor, Orochi's growls can be heard as the party approaches her.
- B1F is used as 3F of the Cloudsgate Citadel.
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake[edit | edit source]
The area surrounding the opening of the cave is now scorched and barren of plant life, owing to the volcanic nature of the dungeon. The sacrificial alter has been embellished with bottles of alcohol, and Orochi's chamber how has ornate columns leading to it along with a carved rock. Orochi surrounds herself with a cloud of purple smoke when defeated and the silhouette of Pimiko is seen as she slithers back into her teleportal. There is also a friendly magmalice at home in the volcano.
