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

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

If you are looking for the Dragon Quest I walkthrough, click here. This page is for Dragon Quest II.

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. 

For most locations, the provided in-game map is all you need for general exploration. As you play through the game, you'll eventually gain the Nose for Treasure ability, which can be used to verify that all items in each area have been collected. Further into the game, you'll earn the spell Snoop is useful for finding items in your current location, as it'll highlight items around you, even hidden ones.  Following this guide should make it easier to verify that you've found everything.

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 achievements so you can easily complete the game 100%.

What the walkthrough will not do:

• Offer in-depth strategies for bosses.
• 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 II) makes most locations easy to navigate.

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

• Dragon Quest II HD-2D Remake: All Mini Medals Locations

Dragonlord's Castle / Erdrick's Sword

• After gaining Sphere of Light, talk to the Dragonlord's Great-Grandson
• Head to Swordsmith in Kol's Equipment Shop 2F.
• Head to Cantlin and talk to Scholar in the West house 2F.
• Head to Tantegel and speak with the prisoner in the church prison.
• Head to Craggy Cave and head down the SE stairs to find Orichalcum.
• Return to Kol's swordsmith. You'll obtain Erdrick's Sword
• Now, return to the Dragonlord's Great-Grandson and defeat him (he has two phases, just as in DQ1)
• You'll obtain Erdrick's Supreme Sword and Erdrick's Supreme Shield

True Ending

• Defeat Hargon and Malroth once again. This time, the story will continue into an ultimate boss battle. 
• In the new boss battle, use Erdrick's Supreme Sword as an Item, then defeat the boss.
• More happens after this that I will not spoil.

Final Items

These aren't needed for achievements, but if you are missing some items in your in-game Item List, here are what I believe are the enemy-dropped only items and equipment to collect:

• Dragon Claws -> Dropped by Dread Dragon
• Falcon Blade of Ruin -> Dropped by Liquid Metal Slime
• Gold Circlet -> Dropped by Gold Digger
• War Drum -> Stolen from Bag O'Laughs, Rockbomb, or Uberkilling Machine. Dropped by Hardy Hand.

I'm also missing one enemy, in-between Iron Scorpion and Jackanape. I will update this guide as soon as I find him!
