The best way to learn new abilities and spells in Dragon Quest 2 HD-2D Remake without leveling up is to find and use scrolls. There are 18 scrolls in the game, and this guide will provide you with all scroll locations in the remake, with exact markers on the world map of Torland.
Western Torland Scroll Locations (1-10)
The northwestern part of Torland has the largest number of free ability scrolls in the game, including ten scrolls hidden inside chests and other spots. Here they are:
- Scroll #1 (Buff): Go to the Edrick’s Hollow dungeon, located to the east of the Galenholm town, and pick up the scroll in the top room (B2).
- Scroll #2 (Kaclang): The second scroll can be found on the opposite side of the same room as the first scroll.
- Scroll #3 (Puff-Puff): Go to the town of Kol and find the Inn in the northern part, which has a drawer with the third scroll.
- Scroll #4 (Bang): Travel to the Tantegel Castle and locate a house right outside the church. The scroll can be seen on the second floor, on one of the shelves.
- Scroll #5 (Kasap): Locate the Dragonlord’s Castle and enter sector B6, which has a room in the northwestern wing with a couple of chests that contain this spell.
- Scroll #6 (Assassin’s Stab): The other scroll can be found in the other chest on the opposite side of the room where you found Kasap.
- Scroll #7 (Crackle): Find your way into the town of Rippleport and locate this scroll inside one of the houses in the south.
- Scroll #8 (Soothing Song): Enter the Northern Dragon’s Horn dungeon and find this scroll in sector 5F.
- Scroll #9 (Sap): Go to the town of Rimuldar and locate the house in the northwest. There’s a barrel with the scroll right next to the door.
- Scroll #10 (Frizzle): Travel to the Isle of the Monarch of Medals and exchange it for 15 Mini Medals.
Eastern Torland Scroll Locations (11-14)
You can find a few more scrolls in the northeastern areas of Torland, mostly inside the local castles, although some tend to spawn in the wild:
- Scroll #11 (Crack): Once you’re in the town of Cannock, find your way into the Princess’s Room of the castle and search for the scroll in the wardrobe.
- Scroll #12 (Crackle): Then, descend to the Midenhall castle and locate a barrel at sector B1. Note that this scroll requires a Thief’s Key.
- Scroll #13 (Propeller Blade): Locate a Sparkly Spot right outside the Moonohan, as that’s where this scroll is.
- Scroll #14 (Defizzle): Enter the town of Moonahan and find the waterlocked isle in the northwest. The scroll is inside the chest on the isle.
Central Torland Scroll Locations (15-17)
The further to the south you shift, the fewer scrolls you’ll find, and only inside the dungeons that are quite dangerous, so be careful:
- Scroll #15 (Undead Undoer): Enter the Moonbrooke castle dungeon and find the treasure room at sector 1F.
- Scroll #16 (Frizz): Travel to the Swamp Shrine and examine the western part of the poison pool surrounding it. The scroll is inside a small pot.
- Scroll #17 (Zin): Go to the Pillar of Winds dungeon and find the chest in the center of the room at sector 7F.
Southern Torland Scroll Locations (18)
- Scroll #18 (Bazoom): You can find the final scroll on a small southern island that stands between the towns of Burrowell to the east and Beran to the west.
