:''A ridiculously rare orb of richest red. Alchemise it!'' - {{Dragon Quest IX}} game description

The Red Orb reappears in {{Dragon Quest IX}} as a very exotic alchemy ingredient, used for some of the highest [[Lists_of_alchemy_recipes_in_Dragon_Quest_IX|alchemy recipes]]. It is a rare drop from the [[Dragonlord]], [[Malroth]], and (at lowest levels) [[Nokturnus]] {{Legacy Boss}}es.

The Red Orb started out as a royal treasure of [[Heliodor]] before it was stolen by [[Erik]] about one year prior to the main events of the game. Before the {{Luminary}} and [[Erik]] return to [[Cobblestone]], they visit Downtown [[Heliodor]] to take the Orb back from where it had been stashed. When the Orb is absent from the stash, they must track down [[Erik]]'s former partner in crime, [[Derk]], who tells them that it has been taken to the [[Kingsbarrow]]. A pair of {{MFamilies}}s attempt to make off with it in order to gain favor with the [[Mordegon|Lord of Shadows]], but they are defeated by [[Erik]] and the {{Luminary}} and they take the Orb back. Note that this is technically one of [[Erik]]'s possessions at this point, and does not appear in the Important Items inventory. Later on, when the {{Luminary}} and his {{Party 11}} discover that it is one of the Six Orbs needed to reach [[Yggdrasil]], Erik gives the Red Orb to the {{Hero 11}}.
{{spoiler|start}}
During Act 2, the Red Orb is in the possession of the Spectral Sentinel [[Alizarin]], who uses it to surround himself with an impenetrable barrier before it was dispelled by the powers of the {{Luminary}}. Even during the boss battle, [[Alizarin]] also uses the Orb to increase the damage the main characters take by generating a crimson mist around the {{Party 11}}. When [[Alizarin]] falls, the {{Luminary}} regains the Red Orb.

Not long after this, [[Erik]] also reveals his complex reasons for having stolen the Orb in the first place.
