Roseguardin: Difference between revisions

'''Roseguardin''' (originally '''Saroknight''') is a recurring monster in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]'' as a boss monster, he is essentially a green [[Restless armour|restless armour]] charged with the task of protecting [[Rose]].

[[Psaro]] hired or otherwise created him for the sole purpose of protecting Rose from anyone who managed to infiltrate the small fortress he built for her. The party must kill him to speak with Rose. Though just a palette swap of a regular knight enemy, he is significantly more powerful. Moreover, he uses the [[Sphere of Silence]] to prevent the party from casting spells.

He is an optional boss (called Sir Roseguardin) in [[Dragon Quest IV Chapter 5|Chapter 5]] that can be defeated to (re)gain the Sphere of Silence. Depending on the version of the game, Sir Roseguardin will no longer be available to battle after either the defeat of [[Estark]] or the completion of Chapter 5. The latter case is rather strange as the humans who kidnapped Rose would have had to get past Sir Roseguardin, but he will still be standing after the kidnapping already took place and is somehow completely unaware that the one he is supposed to protect is no longer present.

 

 

In this game, to unlock Psaro as a playable character, not only must the player face and defeat Psaro, but also his two Roseguardin bodyguards.
