| | '''Ortega''' is a character in [[Dragon Quest III]]. He is the father of the [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|hero]]. At the start of the game, the hero is told that Ortega died after falling into a volcano while battling a dragon. However, after reaching [[Alefgard]], it is revealed that Ortega did not die in the volcano, but rather fell into a pit leading to Alefgard. Later, the hero witnesses Ortega fighting inside [[Charlock Castle|Zoma's Castle]]. He is killed by [[King Hydra]], speaking briefly to the hero before dying. |
| '''Ortega''' was a famous Hero from [[Aliahan]] in '''''[[Dragon Warrior III]]'''''. He is shown in the intro movie fighting a dragon on top of a volcano, which ends with both of them falling in. This intro is further expanded in the SFC and GBC remakes, showing Ortega travelling the world on his quest before finally reaching the volcano and the fateful battle. | |
|
| |
|
| He was the father of the legendary Hero [[Erdrick]]. When Erdrick was just a baby, he left on a quest to destroy the archfiend [[Baramos]]. By Erdrick's 16th birthday, Ortega was believed to have fallen into the volcano and died, and so Erdrick set out to finish it.
| | ==Trivia== |
| | If the Hero and his party defeats the dragon [[Divinegon]], they are offered a wish to bring Ortega back to life. If this wish is granted, Ortega stays at the house in [[Aliahan]], and the player is no longer given free room and board at the house. This only applies in the remake versions of Dragon Quest III, as Divinegon does not appear in the original release. |

| After eventually traveling to [[Alefgard]], Erdrick learned that Ortega had also fallen to Alefgard through the volcano, being severely injured and losing his memory along the way. It also appears Ortega made his way to Rimuldar and had taken on the quest of defeating Zoma, but it was believed he died trying to reach Zoma's castle. Upon reaching the end of [[Zoma|Zoma's]] castle, however, Erdrick witnessed Ortega's final battle against the [[King Hydra]], but Ortega was defeated before Erdrick's own eyes. After the fight Ortega, unable to see nor hear, regains his memory and with his dying breath tells Erdrick that he is Ortega of Aliahan and asks that if he ever travels there, to tell his wife and son what happened here and that he is sorry he failed, and that he couldn't be there for them.
| | In the original release the player cannot stay at the house in Aliahan for free after defeating [[Baramos]]. |

| |
| In both remakes, if the Hero can reach the top of the [[Zenith]] Castle Tower and defeat [[Divinegon]] within the required amount of turns, Divinegon will grant the hero a wish of their choice. One of these wishes is to revive Ortega, whereupon Ortega will live with the Hero's mother in their home in Aliahan. | |
| | |
| The remakes also added a helmet called Ortega's Helmet which could be obtained in [[Mour]], where Ortega spent time recuperating after near death prior to his journey to the volcano. The helmet protects its wearer from all status ailments and is one of the strongest in the game, although there are a few with higher DEF power (such as the Great Helm and Mythril Helm).
| |
| | |
| It is highly possible, given the helmet's horned design, that this may be the Helmet of Erdrick seen in Dragon Quest II (and perhaps in Dragon Quest I, as the hero is seen wearing a helmet but the game has no equipment slot for any helmets, suggesting the Hero was already wearing a helmet he possessed from the start of his quest).
