DRAGON QUEST HEROES- Social Diary #2 (PAX)
Hey, DRAGON QUEST fans!
I’m back! I promised I would come back here with some updates on everything that DRAGON QUEST HEROES is going to have going on at PAX Prime, didn’t I? Or should I say, “PAX Slime,” because the slimes are coming out to play!
First of all, the biggest thing we’ll have there is of course the game itself! If you haven’t had a chance to play it at E3 or San Diego Comic-Con, I hope you’ll stop by. We’ve got two levels on this demo. The first stage, “Field of Fiends,” is a pretty breezy run through the beautiful fields of the game to give you a taste of what it’s like to fight with our heroes, Luceus, Aurora, as well as Alena and Kiryl, who are from DRAGON QUEST IV. They all control differently, so try them all!
The second stage is called “Whacksody in Blue,” and this is your chance to face off against the terrifying giant, Gigantes! In this stage,you’ll have Luceus, Aurora, Yangus, and Jessica, with her absolutely amazing “Sexy Beam” attack. Yangus are Jessica are from DRAGON QUEST VIII, one of the greats.
I will say that Gigantes is HARD, so if you love a challenge, you should definitely come try it out! I’ll even give you a couple hints. First, use Yangus’s “Helm Splitter” move! It actually lowers his defense for a little while. Secondly, it’ll be pretty tough to beat him without hitting him in the eye with the Spellcasters, special cannons that deal heavy damage to monsters! There are three in this stage, but it’s easy to lose track of where they are in the craziness of the battle. But you can press the touchpad to zoom in on the map and easily identify where they are, so you can keep hammering him with those cannons!
As you deal damage and generate combos, the characters’ tension gauges will continue to increase, too. Once they’re full,each character gains access to their “coupe de grace,” an extremely powerful attack! Use this, and Gigantes will be stunned for a little while, and the number of attacks you can land in that short period of time is the key to success!
Hopefully that gives you enough to go on so that you can beat him in the time limit of under 10 minutes! If you can, you can cruise around the con with full bragging rights. Easy peasy lemon squeezy, Gigantes-y right?
But even if giants aren’t your thing, we have you covered with some other fun! We’ll also have a bubble wall made of poppable Slimes that you can pop to your heart’s content! I love the sound bubble wrap makes when you pop it, and it’s even better when you’re defeating slimes! Pop, pop, pop...

And before you leave the booth, make sure you pick up this super awesome Slime fan! PAX Prime is an August show, so I’m sure you’ll need all the ways you can cool off that you can get your hands on. And slimes are the best anyway!

And if you’re reading this, and you’re sad that you can’t make it to PAX Prime, don’t be, because there’s good news for you too! The DRAGON QUEST HEROES demo is coming to PS4 kiosks at retailers near you! Check your local stores, and you might just find it.
Well, I hope all of you will come say hi at PAX Prime, and maybe you’ll even meet our very own celebrity healslime, Healix! But if we don’t see you, I’ll be back on the blog soon to talk about some features you may not have seen much about yet in DRAGON QUEST HEROES. See you soon!
