You can only give Malroth equipment specifically for him.
Just select the item, walk up to him, and a button prompt should show up saying press x to equip or something like that.

I did the exact same thing. Turns out I'd forgotten to talk to Malroth so the next part of the quest hadn't started. Malroth then told me to do things I'd already done but, after that, it was a short walk to trigger the next event.
Thanks all! Good to know I can equip other villagers too. Combat is not very fun solo.
Thank you for this. I posted my question then noticed Malroth wasn't with me and did this haha.
Yeah the praise for the game has been impressive and the demo definitely helped convince me. Played for a bit but I think the SD card I have it installed on is kinda slow. Archived the game and now downloading again to the internal memory to see if it loads a tad faster.
I'm at the endgame now - having entered what seems to be the final area in the game. I took a break from the quests and spent wayyy too much time on the island of awakening. lol.
Um... I'm quite curious as I'm trying to hack together so of the ????? rooms without looking at online resources and no matter what i threw into the room with the bathtub, i was never able to make something happen. Same also for the medication spinner thing that you can make. I thought i'd be able to get a better medical station but couldn't make it happen.
this game is so deep and diverse that its outward appearance doesn't relay.
I also think i done goofed building a farm at the pyramid instead of IOA area 1. Lolllllll. My village is a mess!!!
I also travelled back to the mining island and some guy told me a room recipe so there's reason to revisit the past areas.

Worth $10? the other DLC didn't interest me, so season pass is too much just to save $6
you slide sideways and look at it on an angle. Works quite well.
How does the fishing work? I didnt get the DLC because... well, I dunno. It's sort of for post game i thought because of DQB1... but IOA seems to have all the island perks active - this implementations in the sequel is pretty dope.
Its on the IOA? The only time I've been able to get fish is from monster drops.
You can give Malroth a weapon? Didn't know that. Just got the game and I was able to skip the ship section since I played the demo last night. Kinda annoyed that I have to do the Lulu stuff again, but it's my fault for keep playing the demo even when it told me nothing would saved past the shipwreck.
Between this and Mario Maker, my creative juices are boiling.
Am I supposed to do these optional challenges on my home island wherever I want? The undefined area and all that freedom makes me feel kinda lost
I can already tell the size is your to be a problem for me and I'm only at the start. I already put in a kitchen for myself. Not sure if I'll try to make a second floor to the village or break mandatory rooms after they are made.
I think to get them to come out special. The room needs to be fancy as they're happier. so make it a gold room, add lots of shit and make it fancy. That said, I've forgetten what they said about breeding animals. Something about a moreberry.
It's tough but keep pressing on. I have quite a few rooms sharing walls. It looks like a suburban strip mall. Ugh, unintentional pun. I'm not as engaged here as the last island. I'll be happy to go back to Lulutopia.
I'm hesitant to speak towards its value yet, because after initially going to the fishing island, getting the rod and learning the ropes, it looks like actually collecting 35 of the 40 fish takes place all over the rest of the islands in the game. The fishing itself is pretty standard fishing minigame fare; casting the line out, mashing A to reel and sometimes holding A when the fish is fighting back too hard. I actually am glad that the dlc is weirdly available out of nowhere because of how it's implemented - I would rather fish around now than go back to all these islands and do it in a few weeks, I think.
10 dollars is maybe a bit steep from what I've seen so far, but if you like fishing minigames and want to extend your time with the game some then it seems pretty all right.
I think the fishing was in the OG game. I think they might have taken it out for DLC.
Huh. yeah they did. Oh welllll.
Also, oh, you unlock 3 islands via the dock. I seeeee.
Pretty much, although I strongly suggest completing 5 if not 10 of them. After completing 5 you get a trowel that lets you swap all the blocks in a 5x5 area (ground or walls) with whatever block you're holding; after completing 10 the tool is upgraded to let you actually place blocks in a similar manner. By far one of the most useful tools in the game.
Thanks. I guess I'll try to keep building in the same valley and barring that, I'll just shift my area a bit. Those do sound like great tools so once I'm back from the second island, I'll work on that. Or head home early to do it
Is this just on Switch or PS4 too? I bought it but I don't seem to be able to trigger it?
Nah, turns out coloration is just a generational thing.
I found a japanese wiki with everything there is to know about the game:
Yes. The arrow is always pointing away from the surface of the cube. Think of the arrow as the normal vector of the face of the cube in 3D graphics.
This is literally a continuation of the same island in the DQB1 game.
They're a prominent and unavoidable part of the main quest.
Oh this is just a bunch of missions. Nice and focused..
I'll just put up a fence here to slow the monsters down...maybe some nice sconces. Might as well trace the boundaries of the town so I know how much space I have...a second toilet would be nice, people are always queuing up
I wonder what the most efficient field layout is for tomatoes...
..Oh no..

what is the most efficient layout for tomatoes? I just have four strips with water between now
That's what I've been doing and it works quite well. I made a huge field on the second floor of my farm.
The second village gets a bit bigger after the first big fight, you have space for 2-3 more houses then.
Fishing is pretty nice and it comes with a swimsuit, two new hairstyles and a straw hat.
I have it on Switch but you have to finish the first story island and unlock the mailbox at IoA to gain access to most of the DLC content.
later on during your mandatory fights to protect your town, they will send dragons, also you have a mandatory dragon fight near the end of the chapter
I need help. So malroth and me got a combo attack and i cant trigger it no matter what i do.
The tutorial on switch says press L shoulder button with A button when malroth has a red glow.
Well the guy is always super saiyan orange when we battle and every time i press that the game just tries to do another thing instead of fight or the combo. Is the orange glow he has even the red one the game is talking about?
Im sure some peopl here know how to trigger it.
Actually theyve been naming a hero builder a ton of times in the game, i suppose that one is the playable character from the original game.

Is there a video showing the story of each town in DQB1. Im in the mining town and didnt know it was a continuation of the stories of each town (i knew it waa a continuation of dragon quest 2) Same characters? I read a plot synopsis but that doesnt cut it because im interested in what happened on each town from the first game and if they are the same islands.

It's not a continuation of Builders 1 chapter 3 story-wise. It just has similar vibes (desert-like island with the bull masked guys that are in love with a female warrior). It's more tame in 1 though.
I'm not even sure the builder is your character from 1, but that would delve more into spoilers from B1, also I'm still in island 2 so I dunno how it continues.
So any help with how to trigger the fighting combo with malroth?
Ahhh. Oh well, so many characters where talking about the old hero builder i suppose they were the same islands.
I went through the exact same confusion - the yellow glow is NOT the same one spoken about for the combo. When the combo can be triggered a box will appear on the screen telling you to press it with the name (coop de grace). Unless that box is on the screen you can't trigger it.
Probably best to build multi-storey buildings.
However for this area the only thing that I built in multiple storeys was sleeping area, as the game does tend to keep throwing big piles of people at you. The original sleeping area beside the pub can be fairly easily expanded into two or three storeys, although initially I also had to block off the area behind it because the NPCs were just utterly fascinated by that tiny little gap and kept on wandering over to it for literally no reason.
If you limit your sleeping area to just that location, everything else should fit comfortably, as long as you're not going overboard with room sizes. When someone asks you for a room with X amount of object A and Y amount of object B, just build a room that literally only fits those things plus a space or two to move around it.
Aside from the sleeping areas and the reconstruction of the pub, as far as I can remember, there's only three things you're asked to build in that initial location - a kitchen-like area, a blacksmith, and a "pumping station". Those should fit easily enough and anything you're asked to build later can go elsewhere.
Malroth has to be glowing red (not orange). The game will prompt you with a highly-visible on-screen prompt, so you won't miss it. It takes a while to build up so you're unlikely to see it in combat against a single enemy or small group of enemies, and most likely to see it in something like a base attack or boss-type battle.
Theres a height limit for the mine city, i just discovered that the hard way lol
Was trying to build the third floor for the inn and as soon as i jumped the music cut out and the town ui dissapered.
I build my towns fancy so i always give the buildings 3 cube height and then the roof/floor, instead of 2 cube height and then the roof/floor. 3 height walls just seem the perfect height visual wise.
I added to the fungi kitchen a restaurant so I discovered i could place bab's room on top of it and now it looks SUPER nice. It really looks like a small mining town.
I also added a huge glass window in the pumping station so it looks like a real gym lol going to add a third inn on the top of the gym
This game is just WONDERFUL for a creative person like me that still enjoys the story driving aspect of games. Minecraft fails too much in that regard, you dont give two flying fuck about the villagers and the rooms you make are just visual flair. And I say this as someone who actually works as a freelance designing characters for an official minecraft mods studio.
Ahhhhhh! Should they made that much clearer, i was so confused about the orange glow and didnt know about the a promt appearing beacause the tutorial was badly explained.
I just built bab's room so one of the big fights is coming, i will hopefully see it there.
Thanks a bunch!
