Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake: All Secret Spot Locations

by Adam Vitale on 14 November, 2024

One of the new additions to Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is the inclusion of Secret Spots, little miniature zones that can be found on the world map. These spots are marked by a conspicuous landmark of some kind, such as a huge tree, a giant boulder, or a ring of rocks. These Secret Spots not only will have useful items and equipment, but many have Mini Medals or Friendly Monsters.

We've found 101 Secret Spots throughout the world maps of Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake. Below we list them generally in the order we found them in our full 100% walkthrough of Dragon Quest III's remake. All Mini Medals and Friendly Monsters in the game that are found in these Secret Spots are included in the list below. If we somehow happened to miss one, or if there is a mistake, please let us know in the comments!

You can use the maps below to help find Secret Spots you may have glanced over. We've also numbered each spot and included rewards in the list below, which may help you find that last Mini Medal or Friendly Monster in your playthrough. We highly recommend the Thief ability Nose for Treasure and spell Snoop to make sure you have all the items in each Secret Spot.

Please don't steal our labeled maps, we worked very hard on them.
