Where do I find the Godbird's Soulstone in Dragon Quest VIII?

Answer 1

You will receive the Godbird's Soulstone in Godbird's Eyrie after you defeat Gemon. To get to the Godbird's Eyrie, you must leave the village of Empycchu and make your way west to find a stone arch at the top of a hill. As you approach this arch during the day you will see the shadow of a large bird flying around. If you start to follow this shadow it will take you off in a direction away from the arch. What you have to do is keep following the shadow wherever it goes staying as close as you possibly can. The shadow is a bit faster than your party so make sure to cut corners whenever you anticipate a turn as so not to lose it. A warp portal will appear, and this will take you to the World of Darkness. Go to Dark Empycchu, which is in the same location that Empycchu was in the regular world. Talk to everyone in town, then go to the bird's arch (the stone arch) and fight Empryea. After you defeat her, she will take you to Godbird's Eyrie. Battle your way through here until you reach Gemon, defeat him, and the Godbird's Soulstone is yours!
