Dragon Quest IV Cheats For NES

  1. Change Overworld music

    In Chapter V, after you have found all seven chosen ones (Ragnar, Alena, Brey, Cristo, Taloon, Nara, and Mara), you can change the music on the overworld. Place Ragnar at the lead of the party if you want Chapter I music, place Alena, Brey, or Cristo for Chapter II music, Taloon for Chapter III, Nara or Mara for Chapter IV, and the Hero for all-new music. If you want the Hero's old music, set him/her at the head of the party with no one else in it.

  2. Easy way to beat the Metal enemies (Japanese Version Only)

    If you use the Fairy Water for Metal Slime, Metal Bubble, and Metal King,
    you can beat with a single blow.

  3. Invisible Balloon (Japan-only)

    If you sail to the coordinates 0,0 on the world map (this would be in the ocean northwest of Stancia) and press A on those coordinates, you'll board an invisible balloon. This can permit extreme sequence breaking. When you leave the overworld though it will return to its original location so take care.

  4. Casino Price Overflow (Japan-only)

    If you try buying a number of casino coins in Dragon Quest IV that would exceed the value of 16,777,215, then the price will essentially wrap around, i.e. the price you pay will become the remainder of the actual price divided by 16,777,216. This is most well known for permitting you to buy 838,861 coins for 4 gold in Chapter 5.

  5. Always inflict critical hits in boss battles (Japanese version only)

    This weird glitch only works in the Japanese version of the game. When you're fighting any boss, choose to escape 8 times. Each time will fail, but if you do this procedure, for the remainder of the battle your physical attacks will always be critical hits! It doesn't matter what you do in between the failed escape attempts; you ARE allowed to do other things (such as cast spells) in between each escape attempt, but be sure you can survive getting attacked freely for each escape attempt.

  6. 2000 free coins!

    In chapter 5, enter the tunnel between Branca and Endor. Go through the tunnel and up the stairs on the other side. Re-enter the tunnel, and go up the stairs on the other side. Keep doing this and eventually you'll get 2000 free coins to use in the casino! But you can only do this trick once, I think.

    To get the Liquid Metal Helm, you must be in Chapter 5 and you'll need to have The Sands of Time item in your inventory. Torneko and Alena in your party for this cheat to work.

    The player will need to find the Sands of Time item which is located at Cascade Cave to make this cheat much easier. Then enter into a random encounter battle with the Metal King Slimes which is located at Stairway to Zenithia on Floor 3.

    The metal King Slimes have a tendency to run away, if that happens, use the Sands of Time to reset the battle. Torneko will perform a random move and will randomly steal from the enemy with a 100 percent success rate. He should steal Liquid Metal Helm and at that point, finish out the battle and the Liquid Metal Helm should be in your inventory.

    The player can repeat this process many times and win unlimited Liquid Metal helms. The player can also have Torneko steal Happy Hat from Liquid Metal Slimes.
