The '''Quarantomb''' is a dungeon in [[Dragon Quest IX]]. It is located northwest of [[Coffinwell]]. It contains the [[Ragin' Contagion]]; a deadly virus which when not restrained, infects the town of Coffinwell.

The Quarantomb was supposedly built by the people of [[Coffinwell]]. After the [[Ragin' Contagion]] infected [[Coffinwell]] years before the events of [[Dragon Quest IX]], it was sealed away in a jar in the centre of the tomb. However Dr. Phlegming suggests that this was not the original region that the tomb was created. The mayor of Coffinwell is the only person who has the key to the quarantomb.

During the earthquake at the beginning of [[Dragon Quest IX]] the jar containing the Contagion was broken, allowing it to escape and to infect the town of [[Coffinwell]] again. The player must enter the Quarantomb, and fight the Contagion while Dr. Phlegming repairs the seal on jar. Once this is done the Contagion is trapped and [[Coffinwell]] returns to normal.

Due to the possibility of finding the [[Metal Slime]] the Quarantomb is a good place to train quickly during the early stages of the game.

== Trivia ==

* As with other Dragon Quest IX names, the name "Quarantomb" is a play on the words "quarantine" and "tomb".

* Some of the Quarantomb is partially flooded, hinting at damage due to the earthquake.

* The setting of Quarantomb seems to be a play on Mausoleum of the First Qin Emporer, in which there is the Terracotta Army, that seems to be the origin of [[Earthenwarrior]]s.
