Zoom Stone locations

This guide is all about Zoom and where's the Zoom Stones are located on maps.

What is Zoom, how do I get it, and achievement?

What?

Zoom is a return spell in the Dragon Quest series that allows you to warp to places you have already been to.
In this game, Zoom warps you to these Zoom Stones on maps that the player has to activate by holding down the Attack button next to it. You only need to activate it once; with the exception of Far-Flung Foliage in the Story (I had to activate it the first time in the map and then again when returning for the second quest).

How?

After the player completes Sylvea's Until We Meet Again quest, a side-quest called "Zoom to Manoeuvre" will be available. Completing it will teach the player Zoom.

Achievement

Frequent Flyer
Once the player activates 40 different Zoom Stones, they will get the Frequent Flyer achievement.

Notes

There's no Zoom stone where it should be
The story sometimes has different Zoom Stones than the post-maps.

For example: You can activate a Zoom Stone in the throne room of Arba Castle, but in the Recruit/Captain/Hero map, the Zoom Stone is missing.

Missed a stone
I have gone through the maps multiple times to make sure I have found them all, but if I have missed a Zoom Stone, please let me know.

Why were some maps excluded in this guide?
Zoom can only be used outside or you'll bump your head (one of my favorite gags in the DQ series).
The maps that weren't included either didn't have any Zoom Stones or was an inside map.

What about Grottos?
This guide will exclude Grotto maps, because as far as I saw, the Grotto maps that aren't for bosses didn't have any unique Zoom Stones.
I may change this and add them, if there is a significant difference in one of the map.
