As a seasoned Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D remake adventurer, I can confidently say that my journey through this nostalgic world has been nothing short of thrilling. The game’s puzzles and mysteries have kept me on my toes, but none have left me scratching my head quite like the boulder puzzle in Edina.

In the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D remake, adventurers will frequently stumble upon doors that are securely fastened throughout the game world. These obstacles hinder progress and conceal valuable, scarcely found items. Fortunately, a handy item known as the Ultimate Key is at your disposal, enabling you to unlock any of these closed doors within the game.

Uncovering the Supreme Key can be quite challenging, and it’s crucial for the player to fulfill several requirements first before it can be accessed. It’s not just valuable due to the high-quality treasures it unlocks, but it’s essential for advancing deeper into the narrative as well.

To progress, players must initially enter Edina and snag the Infinite Pitcher prior to obtaining the Everlasting Key. Upon receiving this key, you’ll never encounter a closed door hindering your way forward again.

How to Get Into Edina

One essential piece of information for obtaining the Ultimate Key in the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D remake is that you can only get it once you initiate the main quest to locate the six orbs and unseal the ship. If you haven’t advanced that far in the storyline, keep progressing until you reach that stage.

To obtain the Ultimate Key, the initial action you should take is to journey towards Edina, located in the northwestern part of the map.

Upon reaching Edina, you’ll find yourself denied entry by the guards stationed at the gate. Instead, approach the non-playable character (NPC) situated near the gate (not the guard himself). He will share some intriguing information about a special item known as “Fading Jenny”, which he claims can aid in bypassing the watchful eyes of the guards.

Here’s your mission: Locate the elusive Fading Jenny and discreetly enter Edina. Rest assured, tracking down a Fading Jenny is manageable, although you may encounter some hostile creatures during your journey.

How to Get Fading Jenny

In the town shop of Lanson, a small island southward on the map, you can discover an item called Fading Jenny. If you haven’t been to Lanson previously, I regret to inform you that the Zoom spell won’t help you teleport there. However, if you have visited before, feel free to utilize the Zoom spell to transport yourself directly to Lanson.

If you haven’t visited Lanson yet, you’ll need to travel there by boat, specifically by following this route: Start from Edina on the western part of the map, set sail towards the south while hugging the coastline, and continue moving southeast once the coastline ends.

Upon arriving at the tiny isle, nudge the vessel towards its shores and click the ‘land’ option. Then, make your way to Lanson, the sole location on the island, and buy a ‘Fading Jenny’ for 300 Gold from the store.

Using the item called “Fading Jenny” from your collection, it’s now the right moment for you to transport yourself back to Edina and make an effort to bypass the guard stationed at the entrance.

Upon reaching Edina, opt for the choice of employing Fading Jenny from your inventory. This will render you and your companions undetectable, enabling you to pass by the guard unnoticed.

After successfully entering Edina, locate the staircase on the left and descend it. In the cellar, you’ll encounter a challenge: Your goal is to maneuver three stones into the positions marked with blue squares.

How to Solve Edina Boulder Puzzle

The challenge of moving the stones can be tough, and it required several attempts before I solved it correctly. Don’t worry if you make a mistake; simply pressing a button will reset the stones for you. An essential thing to remember is that you cannot pull the stones, but instead, you can only push them in the desired direction.

Here is the correct solution to the boulder puzzle in the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D remake:

  1. Push the left boulder up once.
  2. Push the left boulder to the right twice.
  3. Push the right boulder down.
  4. Push the center boulder to the left twice.
  5. Keep pushing the boulder that was originally on the left up until it fits in the blue square.
  6. Push the boulder that was originally the center up once
  7. Push the same boulder to the right twice
  8. Push the same boulder up five times
  9. Push the same boulder to the right once
  10. Push the same boulder up once, placing it in the blue square
  11. Push the remaining boulder up once
  12. Push the same boulder left four times
  13. Now push it up once
  14. Now push it to the right twice
  15. Push it up five times
  16. Push it to the left once
  17. Push it up once, placing it in the blue square

Once you’ve arranged all three rocks within the marked blue squares, the door to the north will swing open. Go ahead and step through this opening, then locate the chest and unlock it to claim the Bottomless Pot – a vital artifact that’ll help you retrieve the Ultimate Key.

How to Use The Bottomless Pot and Get the Ultimate Key

With the Bottomless Pot in hand, navigating to the Shoals, a tiny cluster of rocks amidst the sea, becomes the final step for obtaining the Ultimate Key in the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake.

The best way to reach this location is by starting from Lanson and sailing northeast, going through the opening in the mountains that connect the two continents. This is a long trip, so I recommend making sure you are using the best vocations to deal with the monsters of the sea.

Upon reaching The Shoals, opt for employing the Bottomless Pot, which will split the ocean and elevate the Shallows Shrine from its watery depths. Then, step inside the Shallows Shrine to discover a compact treasure chest holding the coveted Ultimate Key.

Having the Ultimate Key at hand opens up a world of opportunities. But for a strategic start, consider unlocking the jail door in Theddon, as it will help you obtain the Green Orb.
