Fixes it to how it should have been. Yay!Uncle_Jo2023-04-04Version 1.0

Played this hack. It works! This is such a minor thing, but it essentially supersedes the original as the standard way the game should be played. It doesn't radically alter the game or anything, but this is how it was meant to be.

Two thumbs up, would sail again!

Great Minor FixChicken Knife2017-12-16Version 1.0

I didn't know about this bug previous to the fix, but I did find myself thinking that the ocean monsters were a little wimpy compared to the ones in Dragon Warrior III.

I'd love to see the community do more work like this on the Dragon Quest series considering the quality and importance of the games.
