Heights of Loneliness is a dungeon in Dragon Quest IX. It leads up the mountains near Lonely Plains to Zere Rocks. There is a cottage at the base of the Heights. Many routes in this area are vines- the hero needs to climb along the vines to access another area or platform. Its name may also resemble the fact that a man called Mason, who is a hermit, lives there and is very lonely. Whether this is coincidental or it was purposely called that is unknown.

Available at With a level 15 Ranger in your party
Requested by Odval
Response to Odval
Requirement Calm 20 enemies with "Soothe Sayer".
Reward Nomadic deel
Detail Odval at the Heights of Loneliness says that a true ranger must be able to talk to the animals. She wants you to attract the attention of twenty beasts by angering them, and then calm them down again with Soothe Sayer.
Hint for solution Keep hitting monsters until they get angry. Boss monsters are good targets because they are not as easily to beat as normal monsters, so remember to cast "Soothe Sayer" when they get angry. Alternatively, any player can use Whistle or Eyes on Me to enrage monsters, on which the ranger can use "Soothe Sayer".

Hint for solution A Drakularge needs only to be defeated by the end of the first round; it does not require that it is killed by a single party member or on its first hit.
