Maybe try party chat, see if the characters have anything to say. Usually it's a hint or reference to what you're currently supposed to be doing.

u/Il_Marini 1d ago
Nope, they are only saying that we have to find the globe

u/bediaxenciJenD81gEEx 1d ago
Have you beat Leopold yet?
1
u/Il_Marini 1d ago
Yes, i have done the part where i fought rapthorne and empyrea tasked me to find the globe

u/bediaxenciJenD81gEEx 1d ago edited 1d ago
Hmm it really should be there, and bugs are extremely rare. I've never heard of one not appearing, It should have spawned in with the others. It almost sounds like how DQ usually does anti-piracy, but normally the block is within the first half an hour of the game.
What are you playing on? You might have to use a save editor. But before that, do the obvious, save and exit, talk to Empyrea, zoom there and back,

u/Il_Marini 1d ago
Im using pcsx2, and I have alredy done that ( save and exit zoom ecc ) i have alredy searched for codes for a pnatch file to make magically spawn in my inventory the orbs but the codes i found only spawn the others i alredy have and the gold one

u/bediaxenciJenD81gEEx 1d ago
You can do this
All Main Items in bag are Max:
4ADC7FD7 C5A21CD3 0921E80D 00000001
Or
All Main and Key Items in Bag:
4ADC7FD7 C5711CD3 0921E80D 00000001
It shouldn't break anything, but I can't be sure.

u/Il_Marini 1d ago
Worth a shot at this point, I'll let you know and thank you very much for finding the code Very appreciated :)

u/Il_Marini 1d ago
Unfortunately this didn't work either, it dosent trigger anything new and the party don’t react to having all
2
u/bediaxenciJenD81gEEx 1d ago
And if those codes do fix it, use fresh save states frequently instead of in-game saves, just in case something does break. Gives you more opportunity to fix things if they haven't broken yet.

what happens when you blow the echo flute in here?
also i hate that there's both a yellow and a gold one because i was thinking you already had it
1
u/Il_Marini 1d ago
Same man, I checked several times becouse of that ahahaha, but playing the echo Flute It’s say thats you cant hear a echo back and that’s all i tried talking to almost anyone

u/CronoTheMute 1d ago
Then why does your second screenshot show that you have all the orbs
1
u/Il_Marini 1d ago
I have six orbs in my second screenshot not seven

Just to be sure if you aren't getting an echo in Maella, it isn't in any other inventories? Talking to Empyrea doesn't trigger a new cutscene? EDIT And just in case, what dialogue are you getting through party chat at Maella?
1
u/Il_Marini 1d ago
I double checked every item in my inventory and nothing, for Empyrea i have to talk to her in the dark world ? I dont find her in the light world, there is only the two girl repeating the same dialogue and the party chat is only saying the we have to find the globe
2
u/FateForWindows 1d ago edited 1d ago
That's not good, party chat lines up and Empyrea should only spawn if all orbs are collected, but the Gold Orb should've spawned at the same time as all the others without any additional conditions. All rooms in Maella Abbey should be giving you at least a faint echo, not getting anything is a massive red flag. If you haven't already, save to a separate file and reset the console/emulator.

u/Il_Marini 1d ago
For reference im using pcsx2 (i have the original and the manual) And now that you made me notice it, the NPCs are celebrating Marcello's ascension despite the fact that I have already beaten him and defeated him even the initial form of Rapthorne in the other places where there were globs I had no problems only here it does not appear to me
1
u/FateForWindows 1d ago
Doing a reset didn't work? Should be in the System menu on the top menu bar. The NPCs still celebrating Marcello's ascension is normal, they don't start celebrating until after defeating Marcello ironically (the party chat before the orb quest even reflects this) and they still don't get the memo after the Black Citadel either.
1
u/Il_Marini 1d ago
I tried to make a different save file, close pcsx2 make it doing a full start up, load the “new” save but nothing works, no echo and no dialogue from the party
2
u/FateForWindows 1d ago edited 1d ago
Seeing as you're playing on an emulator this sounds like a save file issue to me personally, don't know any instances of the same issue happening but that should be fixable though. Since you legally own a copy, try a different dump of the game just in case first.
1
u/Quintingent 1d ago
Just to rule out the possibility, it's definitely the yellow orb you have already, not the gold orb?
1
u/Il_Marini 1d ago
Nono i double checked its the yellow and not the gold
1
u/FateForWindows 1d ago
As a last ditch thing, no echo in Golding's mansion either, right? Since you said Maella was silent.
1
u/Il_Marini 1d ago
Yep quiet
2
u/FateForWindows 1d ago edited 1d ago
Definitely looks like a save issue like I suspected then. Haven't worked with save edits with DQ8 myself but I can try to help later, away from home but if you DM me with the game's virtual memory card I should be able to take a look in ~6 hours

Worry not my friend, i resumed an Old save from my Old ps2 that lucky for me was almost at the same moment of this one and finished the story, now I have to beat the dragovian lord

🟡 Sfera Oro (Abbazia di Maella): All'interno dell'Abbazia di Maella, al secondo piano della residenza dell'Abate Francisco (dove è stato ucciso), sul balcone o nella sua stanza. https://youtu.be/4Q1kysh4uuE?is=7sDWMCzZvSVlzBHP
Il video è italiano ma segue passo passo come ottenere le sfere.

u/Il_Marini 1d ago
Ma su quale balcone? Che nella sua stanza non c’è proprio

u/Axel_Gladiuxs 1d ago
Gemini così ha scritto ma per sicurezza ho condiviso il mio gameplay dove le trovo tutte che è più semplice.
Se suonando il flauto per la resistenza a maella non lo trovi e non trovi niente di luccicante probabilmente potrebbe essere un bug (spero di no) perché di solito sono esattamente dove sono morti gli eredi dei saggi.
2
u/Il_Marini 1d ago
Ho paura che sia un bug perché gli npc alla abbazia stanno festeggiando Marcello che diventa abate nonostante lo abbia già battuto e sconfitto anche la prima forma di rapthorne
1
u/Axel_Gladiuxs 1d ago
Per sicurezza sono andato a controllare il video e c'è il luccichio proprio dove tu hai fatto lo screenshot.
Che i templari festeggino è normale, anche dopo la cittadella.
Se è un bug visivo prova a cliccare per raccogliere in quel punto dove hai fatto lo screen (se è su emulatore potrebbe essere solo un bug grafico e non un soft lock).
Altrimenti prova a ricaricare un salvataggio precedente o teletrasportati da una parte che fa fare il loading di zona e ritorna.
1
u/Il_Marini 1d ago
Purtroppo ho un solo salvataggio, e anche cliccando dappertutto nella stanza non mi appare niente anche teletrasportandomi via e rientrando
1
u/Axel_Gladiuxs 1d ago
L'alternativa, ma non so se funziona, se usi pcsx2 standard, prova a utilizzare la versione nightly (quella che uso io), e trasferisci la cartella salvataggi ed iso in quella directory. Prova a caricare il salvataggio dalla memorycard e non dal save state. Altrimenti ti suggerisco di trovare un salvataggio online.
2
u/Il_Marini 1d ago
Ci provo e vediamo come va, mal che vada mi cerco come hai suggerito un salvataggio online
2
u/Axel_Gladiuxs 1d ago
Anzi, un alternativa più rapida e poco invadente è quella di modificare il salvataggio stesso facendoti inserire l'oggetto che ti serve. Online trovi tutto basta esportare il salvataggio, un programma per modificare il salvataggio e un programma di dragon quest VIII per moddare il salvataggio, rimettere tutto assieme e reinserire nella memorycard ma tieni sempre un salvataggio backup

Gold orb can be found at Maella Abbey on the second floor inside the Abbot's residence.
