Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake Walkthrough: Where to go, all mini medals, secret spots, and friendly monsters, step-by-step guide

by Adam Vitale and Bryan Vitale on 14 November, 2024

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is full of collectable items and new friend monsters unique to this version of Dragon Quest III. If you are looking to 100% the game and get all achievements, we're here to help.

This walkthrough is a bullet point guide for players who don't want to keep referring back to paragraphs within a lengthy walkthrough, but do want to make sure that they don't miss anything that will prevent them from finding all items, mini medals, etc. Luckily, nothing in Dragon Quest III HD-2D is permanently missable.

For most locations, the provided in-game map is all you need for general exploration. A Thief's Nose for Treasure skill can be used to verify that all items in each area have been collected. Similarly, the Monster Wrangler's Animal Instinct skill can be used to check for nearby friendly monsters. Following this guide should make it easier to verify that you've found everything. The Thief spell Snoop is useful for finding items in your current location as it'll highlight items around you, even hidden ones.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is a pretty easy compared to previous versions of Dragon Quest III, so anyone with RPG experience should be able to get through the game without too much trouble. Remember to stay stocked on healing items and Zoom back to an Inn when needed, and all that. Some areas of the game are a little bit trickier that we will point out.

What this walkthrough will do:

  • Offer a minimalist walkthrough so you know what you need to do at any point in the game.
  • Point out items, mini medals, and monsters so you can easily complete the game 100%.

What the walkthrough will not do:

  • Offer any strategies for bosses or party build.
  • In-depth Dungeon Walkthroughs. Basic directions will be provided to help navigate to all items, but other than that, using the map (new to this version of Dragon Quest III) makes most locations easy to navigate.

Don't want a full walkthrough but want to double check a specific medal or monster? We have specific guides for each:

Tutorial 

  • You’ll start out by picking a name for your adventure log and deciding on an appearance for the Hero
  • You’ll also set some basic settings: voiceover language, whether or not you’ll see an objective marker, and the difficulty level
    • The difficulty level can be changed at any time. Note that for Dracky Quest, party members will not go under 1 HP, making this difficulty options effectively God Mode
  • After the opening cutscene, head forward, pick a name for the Hero. You’ll also select a birth month, which does not affect the upcoming personality quiz

Personality Quiz

  • This quiz is what determines the Hero’s starting personality
  • Each personality has different growth rates for the Hero’s main attributes as they level up 
    • While ultimately you can enjoy the game regardless of your chosen personality, for min-maxers, the best personality in terms of best overall stat growth is often considered to be Vamp (no longer female-only in the remake)
    • Some accessories in the game will alter the wielder's personality while the item is equipped
    • Similarly, several book items can be found and used to permanently alter a character's personality
  • Based on your answers, the final part of the quiz will be a short scenario. How you respond in each scenario will result in the final chosen personality for the Hero.
  • Once you are past the Tutorial and wake up, you can access the menu and select Misc. then Status to verify that you ended up with the personality that you wanted.
  • You can reference the following wiki reference for guidance on how to answer the quiz depending on which personality you want to have. Note that the HD-2D remake may not follow this flowchart exactly, but it should be very close (I used it in my playthrough). This chart is courtesy of StrategyWiki:
  • We have a page describing each personality in more detail.

1. Aliahan, Dreamer's Tower, and the Path of Promise

Aliahan Castle

  • Before heading out, grab Seed of Strength from the drawer in your room

    • Thieves are not as useful in battle, but Nose for Treasure and Snoop are useful for completionists in making sure you grab every item.
    • Monster Wranglers are new to this version of Dragon Quest III, and are very powerful in their own right. They also can make it easier to gather friendly monsters
    • Priests have useful support spells, but you can swap based on your preference
    • We have a guide dedicated to party building if you want more information.
