==Biography==
When Adol washed ashore, Dogi and Goban kill a couple demonic wolves that tried to maul him. Here, Goban reveals that Adol might be the brave soul who would save Esteria and insists they take him to Minea to recover. Later, on orders from Goban, he escorts Adol through the mines as the latter was instructed by the petrified Sarah's crystal ball. After descending from a rope to a cavern where silver used to be mined, they find themselves running from skeletal demons. After their retreat, Adol learns the bag contained their food. They then continued to search in the mines for the book as instructed by the ball. It was also where Reah lost her silver harmonica she asked Adol to recover for her. Dogi remarks that Adol could not say no to a pretty lady like Reah. Just then, Dogi examines the wheel tracks to find the right path where they find an exit behind a mound of rocks. This leads them to a crater. Venturing deeper, the structure starts to look different as it was made by monsters and find themselves at a wall with the crest of Ys when soldiers surround them. As they manage to best the soldiers, water bursts from the ceiling and catches the soldiers in it, forcing Adol and Dogi to run for their lives only to get engulfed in the flood. Emerging from the waters, Adol and Dogi swim towards the ground in order to continue their search for the book. When they reach and open the door with the crest of Ys, they find an underground shrine with the book they have been searching for when the bat monster Vagguillon confronts Adol and attacks him and Dogi viciously. As Vagguillon was about to finish off Adol, the two books he had flash, leading to the monster being blinded and flying like crazy around the shrine and damaging the structure, finally disappearing when it gets cut in half by Adol. When Adol talks about Roda with Goban, Dogi reports that Luta, descendant of the priests, vanished yesterday and someone is after Volume Gemma. Just then, Dark Fact, a wicked sorcerer, greets Goban via astral projection to reveal that he has Luta with him and has enjoyed watching Adol's prowess and invites Adol to a deserted temple, the location of Volume Messa, within a forest to test his worth alone as a brave soul with the promise of him keeping the book if he survives. After Adol accepts, Dark Fact reveals that he has Volume Fact on his person and Adol cannot make his wish to solve the mystery come true. Once Dark Fact terminates the projection, Dogi rides on horses alongside Adol and Goban down a into a valley in search of the book where they end up in a fog and try to cut through a forest of vines when it opens up. It is here that Adol meets Roda who had been waiting to awaken from his long slumber to carry out a promise he made to the goddesses. Roda then invites Adol to see the history of Ys by forming a bridge of vines. After Adol hears the legend from Roda, Goban and Dogi watch as he emerges with his gear newly transformed into Cleria. Adol rides on horseback as Dark Fact told him to go alone, knowing it was a trap. After Adol leaves for the temple, Dogi prays for his safety. With the book in hand, Adol returns to Goban and Dogi with it. It's where he learns that the last two books are indeed in the tower. Adol also is somehow now able to read the letters on the book which surprises Dogi. Goban reveals that Roda blessed him with the ability to do this. Adol reads the book to find that the people of Ys were forced to retreat into Solomon Shrine with the great evil and his army moving in on them prior to the evil being sealed away. After reading up, Adol tells Dogi and Goban they should head to the Darm Tower. As the time approaches, Dogi presents Adol with a set of maps needed for the infiltration of the 25-story Darm Tower. Goban explains that Dark Fact is pretty much at the top floor, but Luta needs saving first. Adol, Goban, and Dogi travel through the woods to reach the tower. With no monsters in sight, Goban tells them they must get going. When they reach the door, Dogi takes out a key to unlock it and smashes it open so they can enter. When they enter, they notice that there were no monsters and travel down a hall where they get ambushed by a trio of monsters they dispatch with ease, and they proceed to take on more monsters. After going up a floor, they find themselves in a room of mirrors where Adol gets sucked into a mirror after touching it against Goban's wishes. Dogi seeks out Adol while Goban heads up. Dogi cuts down any monsters that come his way while searching for Adol and even chucks one at another monster as he continues to fight. Just then, he finds himself fighting a monster half his size and rides a chain down into a bodt of water where his continued escape leads to him smashing down the wall of Adol and Luta's cell, allowing the two to escape. The trio scale a flight of stairs in search of Fact. As Adol and company scale the tower, they come across a mysterious structure in a corridor before passing it. Adol is having misgivings about the corridor and asks them to wait as he explores it and starts feeling pain thanks to a sound. Dogi also feels pain after a failed attempt to save Adol. Luta then tells Dogi to throw him his sword so he can put a stop to it by stabbing the source. This enables them to continue into the tower. Just then, the trio catch up with Goban at a trio of statues, however Goban found out that this is potentially another trap they may not come back from. Luta provides a solution by holding out an ancestral Blue Amulet that can disable traps of evil. After the trap is disabled, they open a door to find no way up. However, there is a hidden door somewhere, but they first had to deal with a massive monster, Khonsclard, that attacks with rocks. With the advice of Luta and Goban, Adol turns his hopes into strength with the cleria and Dogi throws him to help him slay the beast, turning it to dust and revealing the hidden door. Just then, Dogi, Goban, and Luta flash white and vanish in front of Adol. It is later shown that the trio is warped to another place in the tower but find it strange that there is no evil present, just then Feena and Reah appear before them. The goddesses commend Goban and Luta for their efforts as descendants of the priests and are need of their help and tell them they need to head for the room of Fact. Reah and Feena escort Dogi, Goban, and Luta to his quarters via teleportation. Dark Fact had been expecting their arrival as he was going to ask the goddesses why they gave the humans of Ys the Black Pearl even though they were not ready for its power. Fact explains that it did not begin from humans he found foolish or the Black Pearl, but the goddesses. Reah said it was as he said, but she and her sister's only option had been to save the world after what happened. Dark Fact tells them it was too late for that as the world is in the sway of evil and that it is the true destiny. Goban counters this claim as the goddesses intended the power to be for the good of Ys. Even if man took an incorrect route, it was not the fault of the goddesses. Luta agreed as they can correct their path regardless of difficulty or length. Dark Fact tells them to do as they like before warping to Adol. Dogi tries to stop him by throwing a knife but failed. As Adol was fighting Dark Fact, Dogi watches as Reah tells Luta to place his amulet on the throne while Feena tells Goban to put forth his strengthened arms. This destroys the throne and brings up another structure, the true form of evil that cursed Ys, the Black Pearl. Dogi again watches as the goddesses hover towards the Black Pearl in hopes to bring evil to naught in hopes of having the brave soul sent to them so that the darkened world can have shine again. Reah then asks the descendants of the priests to rebuild the world as the Black Pearl flashed white. This stops the monsters attacking Minea dead. When Adol defeated Dark Fact and attained the last Book of Ys, Goban, Dogi, and Luta watch as Adol is engulfed in light as he is provided the power of the six books and transported skyward. Later after the seal of the six priests breaks when Adol failed to stop Dalles's efforts in helping it break, Dogi was summoned by the goddesses to Ys as Adol is in trouble and is need of their help. Once he, Luta, and Goban arrive in the palace, the goddesses explain to them that the spell by the six priests that bound the Black Pearl and sent it to the sky has been broken and will be unleashed as a force of evil. They've counted on Adol to prevent this but was blinded by the rage of not stopping Dalles from sacrificing Maria or his mass petrification and need to do something or he cannot stop the power of the Black Pearl as it must not be used for evil desires, nor should it exist with such negative emotions. when Goban asks if they were asked to destroy it, the goddesses explain they have no other choice as the Black Pearl has to be destroyed along with all the power it has so evil can be destroyed as well. Just then, Keith Fact, having followed Lillia, walks to Dogi, Goban, and Luta, asking if they are going to eliminate all the magic in the world. the goddesses explain they must accept their destiny even if they lose their powers as goddesses. The goddesses also explain that the mass petrification must be undone, and Adol must be cleansed of the hatred in his heart. Goban and Dogi proceed to hold Keith back with their swords before Dalles silences the Goddesses and Lillia pleads with the two not to kill Keith as he was not one of their enemies. After Keith failed to kill Dalles, he regains control of himself and reveals that he was turned into a monster that he killed, and his powers have been filling his heart with evil the more he pursued revenge. Lillia tells Keith that he has no need to use the evil power anymore and asks that she use the harmonica so she can break the stone curse with Reah's song while they find Adol. As Adol fights Darm, Dogi, Goban, and Luta find themselves unable to get close and cannot get through the barrier until Adol lets his hate go. As the fight rages on, Dogi notices the clouds getting closer as Ys is descending to Earth where the world is about to be overtaken by evil again. Unless the descendants of the priests are connected to the Goddesses, they have no power. When Ys starts to fall as a result of Darm's demise, the goddesses call for the aid of the priests' descendants in order to use the power of the priests to in order to have Ys land safely. Goban uses the Star of the Goddess power with the aid of Dogi and Luta in order to do this, leading to the destruction of Darm Tower as Ys falls back into position.
