The newly added sidequest in Dragon Quest XI S involves the adorable creatures known
as the Tockles.
These spirits watch over time, but only you as the Luminary can actually see them.
And you’ll meet one in particular before you enter the Gallopolis Region.
His name is Ickle and he’s in a pickle.
He needs you to come to the Tockles village of Tickington where ten special tomes have
been corrupted by an unknown force.
The only way to fix them is by finding special Pastwords so the Hero can dive into these
books and set right the events of the past.
And it just so happens that the Tockles are out there looking for the Pastwords as we
speak.
So it’s up to you to find the Tockles, get the Pastwords, and solve the problems of the
ten previous Dragon Quest games.
And we’re here to help you find them all!
Now we should note that this quest is something that takes place over the course of the entire
game.
We’re going to do our best to keep the spoilers light, but locations and later events are
inevitably going to be shown.
We’ll be keeping to the order of the Pastwords listed in the game.
That way, if you missed one, you can search for the exact Tockle you need.
So let’s get started!
It’s impossible to miss the first Pastword as Mayor Stickle provides it himself, allowing
access to Galenhom in the Altar of Origins.
The first Tockle you’ll meet is near the southern campsite in the Gallopolis Region
who gives the Pastword for Moonahan in the Altar of the Legendary Line.
The next Tockle is found in Laguna di Gondolia in the small cave that separates the two swampy
portions of the region.
Talk to it to receive the Pastword for the Observatory in the Altar of the Starry Skies.
The third Tockle is in the Zwaardruust Region, specifically within the Warrior’s Rest Inn.
The little guy provides the Pastword for Erdrick’s future home within the Altar of Salvation.
Then there’s the fourth Tockle which is found in the Dundrasil Region.
Look inside a ruined building just north of the bridge to Dundrasil Castle to find the
Tockle.
It will give the Pastword for the Rainbow Mines in the Altar of the Forgotten Past.
You’ll find the fifth Tockle in Lonalulu.
It’s just south of the church on the north end of the village.
Talk to it to receive the Pastword for Chateau Felix in the Altar of the Cursed King.
Once you complete the quest for Chateau Felix, you will receive a Pastword for Chateau Felix
at Dusk.
However, in order to complete that sidequest you will need to do a few other things first.
Namely, you need to find the tenth Tockle for Briscoletti’s Mansion which in turn
requires the eighth Tockle for Alltrades Abbey.
Once these are done, the initial Chateau Felix quest can be completed.
The sixth Tockle is found in the Mini Medal Academy.
Look to the left of the main office on the first floor to find it and receive the Pastword
for the Neverglade in the Altar of the Heavenly Bride.
And then we have the seventh Tockle, which is located in the Queen’s Bedchamber in
Sniflheim Castle.
It will hand over the Pastword for the Room of Revival in the Altar of the Undeciphered.
Next up is the eighth Tockle, which is found in the Royal Library in the Snaerfelt.
As you climb the stairs to the second floor, you should spot it.
Talking to the Tockle will reward you with the Pastword for Alltrades Abbey in the Altar
of Reverie.
The ninth Tockle is found in Arboria on the east side of the town in the lower section.
It will give the Pastword for the Imperial Pantry of Parthenia in the Altar of the Chosen.
This is also the last Tockle before a major event occurs that pretty much makes every
scene after this a pretty big spoiler so we just wanted to give a warning before continuing
on.
The tenth Tockle can be found in the Octagonia casino.
Just look for it near the slot machines and the exchange counter.
It will hand over the Pastword for Briscoletti’s Mansion in the Altar of the Heavenly Bride.
The eleventh Tockle is in the Sniflheim Region, specifically the northern end of the Viking
Hideout.
You’ll need to travel past Erik and Mia’s home.
At the top of the ridge, near the western wall is where the Tockle awaits.
It will then give you the Pastword for Rose’s Room in the Altar of the Chosen.
To find the twelfth Tockle, sail to Insula Algarum which is the island southeast of Sniflheim.
You’ll need to use a flying monster to access the land behind the mountain where the Tockle
awaits.
It’ll hand over the Pastword for the Ruby Path of Doom in the Altar of the Starry Skies.
The thirteenth Tockle is found in Luminary’s Landing once the Arborians have opened the
way to it.
Talk to it to receive the Pastword for the Roamer Encampment in the Altar of the Forgotten
Past.
We should also note that completing the quest for the Roamer Encampment will reward you
with a Pastword that unlocks the Roamer Encampment at Night.
Next is the fourteenth Tockle which is found in the Battleground.
You must make your way through it until you reach the eighth floor on the opposite side
of the crumbling wall next to a chest.
This Tockle gives you the Pastword for Damdara in the Altar of Origins.
The fifteenth Tockle is in Haven’s Above on the east side of the main floating island.
It will provide the Pastword for the Pillar of Pegasus in the Altar of Reverie.
Then there’s the sixteenth Tockle which is found in the Zwaardrust Whale Way Station.
You’ll see it near the small waterfall.
It hands over the Pastword for the Quester’s Rest in the Altar of the Starry Skies.
The seventeenth Tockle is found on Mt. Huji in Atsuo and Atsuko’s Hideout so you may
still need to progress the story of Hotto before you can access it.
The Tockle hands over the Pastword for Cannock Castle in the Altar of the Legendary Line.
Once you gain access to the Crucible on Mt. Huji, you’ll find the eighteenth Tockle
near the entrance.
Speak with it to receive the Pastword for Baramos’s Castle in the Altar of Salvation.
It’s worth noting that once you complete the quest in Baramos’s Castle, you’ll
be rewarded with the Pastword for Later On in the same castle.
You’ll need to have obtained the Ultimate Key in the post-game story in order to find
the nineteenth Tockle, which is located in Puerto Valor.
Go to the south end of the city near the beach and go to the 2nd floor of the rich man’s
house to find the gate.
On the other side, the Tockle is waiting.
It will give you the Pastword for Weaver’s Peak in the Altar of Reverie.
The 20th Tockle is found within the First Forest’s Whale Way Station and is located
near the end of the path on a log.
Speaking with it will reward you with the Pastword for the Hidden Valley in the Altar
of the Chosen.
To find the 21st Tockle, you’ll need to rebuild Cobblestone which is a bit of a process.
Talk to Gemma to learn about the people she’ll need to complete the restoration.
Once you find all four, the village will be back to its old self.
Go to the mayor’s house and you’ll find the Tockle on one of the beds.
It will then give you the Pastword for Trodain Castle in the Altar of the Cursed King.
The 22nd Tockle also requires the Ultimate Key and is found in Gondolia.
Use the Key on the gate on the eastern side and cross the small bridge to find the Tockle
who hands over the Pastword for Tenton in the Altar of the Undeciphered.
The 23rd Tockle is found in the Cryptic Crypt.
To reach it, you’ll need the Ultimate Key.
It’s located within the far right cell at the end of the dungeon.
There it will tell you the Pastword for Whealbrook in the Altar of the Heavenly Bride.
The 24th Tockle is located on Trial Isle at the northwest corner outside the main building.
Talk to it on its stump to learn the Pastword for Tantegel Castle in the Altar of Origins.
The final Tockle can be found in the last of Drustan’s Trials, The Luminary Trial,
which is called the Citadel of Spite.
Head for the double staircase leading down to the first floor to find it.
Then it will provide the Pastword for Rendarak in the Altar of the Legendary Line.
And that’s all of the Tockle locations in Dragon Quest XI S. You’ll definitely want
to complete all of the quests found within the different tomes though.
Every one of them is possible to finish before the end of the post-game story except for
Tantegel Castle.
Once you do, simply return to Tickington to receive the item for that quest.
And once all the quests are finished, a new stairway will appear leading to one final
set of Tickington challenges.
Complete those and you’ll unlock a special boss that appears in the skies above Erdrea.
It’s certainly a game-long quest, but one I feel is well worth doing.
