Appearances
Dragon Quest IV
Hardie is first in Chapter 2 by Alena and her party in front of Endor's church. He tells her about people from various locations attending the Tournament and later congratulates the Zamoksva Princess on her victory.
During Chapter 3, he is looking for work. In exchange for an advance payment of 400 gold coins, he is willing to join Torneko for five in-game days at a time. He lends his considerable physical strength and bulk to Torneko's quest for treasure. Due to disliking dogs, he won't join if Torneko has Fido with him. After Chapter 3 has ended, he is no longer recruitable.
In Chapter 5, Hardie's fortune is told to him by Meena just before the Hero arrives in Endor. He remains in front of the church in Endor for the remainder of the game.
