Torches, also named Fiery torches,[1] are a recurring item in the main Dragon Quest series. They are regular torches used to light up dark areas, especially dungeons. Torches debut in the first game, Dragon Quest.
History
Dragon Quest
In Dragon Quest, the Hero starts his journey in Tantegel Castle, where a torch is found in the middle treasure chest of King Lorik's chamber. King Lorik permits the Hero to take it and the other two chests' contents (120 gold and Magic Key respectively) to aid the hero on his quest. Besides this, torches are sold at Item Shops in four areas: Tantegel, Garinham, Kol, and Rimuldar; torches cost 8 gold each and can be sold for 4 gold each.
Whenever a torch is used in a dark area, such as Erdrick's Cave, it only lights up the tiles surrounding the hero. The torch's effect wears off when the hero leaves the dungeon.
