When first approached, the city is guarded by a [[Golem]] whose battle is triggered when the {{Hero 1}} first attempts to enter the ramparts surrounding the city. This battle is a one time event, and is the only place where a Golem can be encountered. The weapons and armor shop in Cantlin sells the best equipment the character can purchase in the game.

Cantlin has become a walled city with an arabian theme in the jump to HD and can only be entered from the north, but the theme of dejection and despair remains; the only place where the people are remotely motivated is in the [[Monster Arena (Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake)|Monster Arena]]. | |||
One key difference is that the town is now a mandatory visit due to the method to reforge the [[Sword of Kings]] becoming more involved than in past iterations of the game. Specifically, the player must speak to the researcher trying to create a Golem to be given the [[Broken Blade]], the ruined remains of the fabled sword after [[Zoma]] spent three years destroying it. The learned man admits that little is known of the sword save that it was created many, many years ago, and even its metal is alien to him. He had attempted to use the pieces in the construction of his Golem but failed, and freely hands it to the player. | |||
During the ending sequence the researcher is now shown to be successful in creating the Golem, standing tall in his laboratory. | |||

Cantlin is a walled city located in the south central region of Alefgard in Dragon Quest, Dragon Quest III, and Dragon Quest Builders.
Cantlin is most famous for it's heavy fortifications and for being guarded by a Golem in the original game. It was featured in Dragon Quest Builders as the starting city, followed by Rimuldar.
Appearances[edit | edit source]
Dragon Quest[edit | edit source]
The city of Cantlin is typically the last city the player visits due to its distance from Tantegel and the strength of the surrounding monsters. When first approached, the city is guarded by a Golem whose battle is triggered when the Hero first attempts to enter the ramparts surrounding the city. This battle is a one time event, and is the only place where a Golem can be encountered. The weapons and armor shop in Cantlin sells the best equipment the character can purchase in the game.
Despite all of this, Cantlin is a not a required location to visit in order to complete the game.
Locked doors[edit | edit source]
The first game has two doors in southwestern part of town, the first of which leads to man with clues to find Erdrick's Armour, and the second to the hidden shops.
