The game "Dragon Quest 3: HD-2D Remastered" is not friendly to novice players because there are many things that need to be paid attention to. The first is the use of attribute seeds. It is strongly recommended that you do not use all The seeds are fed to the protagonist. After all, he was just one member of a four-man team.
How to play Dragon Quest 3 Remake for beginners
Consider your attribute seed usage
In "Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remastered Edition", you will get more attribute seeds than you can count. A natural impulse is to feed all attribute seeds to your protagonist - after all, he is a character you will always use, isn't he?
We strongly recommend that you do not feed all your seeds to the protagonist. After all, he was just one member of a four-man team.
If your protagonist falls in combat, the seeds fed to him will be wasted. A better approach is to allocate these seeds to those players who can benefit the most from them and take full advantage of their strengths.
"Take advantage" here means that you should not try to compensate for the shortcomings of certain characters! For example, warriors will always have low mana, and magic characters will always focus on spellcasting rather than physical attacks. You should allocate these seeds reasonably according to the characteristics of the character.
Search for treasure
A classic element of Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remastered is that items can be found in jars, barrels, wardrobes, bookshelves, and wall hanging bags. Careful explorers can find a large number of items and gold coins in these places if they search carefully.
As you progress through the game, you'll notice that the searchable locations are modeled very consistently. A jar containing an item looks the same no matter where it is. Learning to recognize what these items look like will not only save you time wasting in useless places, but will also make it easier to spot them when entering new areas.
Stock up on essentials
In Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remastered, the game is quite forgiving of players, especially in the early stages, but there are some items that are extremely useful and should always be in your inventory, no matter what. Where are you:
Herbs are crucial at the beginning of the game, as random enemies can easily reduce your health quickly, and herbs can restore a lot of health. They're still very useful in the late game, are cheap, easy to stock up on, and are a great way to regenerate health outside of combat and save mana points.
Prayer Rings are excellent items for restoring magic points, as they have a small chance of breaking when used. Our advice is to use them boldly when you have multiple prayer rings, but keep one just in case - a few more magic points can help you win a fight with a powerful boss, or on a difficult level. Explore deeper in the dungeons.
Until your hero (or your mage or sage) learns the Teleport skill, you'll definitely want to always have some Chimera Wings on hand. These allow you to escape from dangerous dungeons, return to the safety of a small town from the depths of the world map, or fast travel between towns to complete quests or set off in new directions.
Even after you learn how to "teleport", you still need to carry these items with you at all times - because fallen team members cannot cast spells, you don't want to be in a dungeon with three team members dead and you have no way to teleport. Back to a safe place!
Double exploration of dungeons
Due to the powerful monsters in the middle and late stages and the high frequency of enemy encounters, dungeons have become a truly dangerous place. To make matters worse, dungeons are often full of valuable and useful treasures that are so tempting that they force you to carefully explore them, which takes a lot of time and quickly drains your health and magic points.
My advice here is don't worry too much about having to search every inch when you first enter a dungeon. When the world opens up a bit, you may encounter a dungeon mission that you can't complete in one go. We recommend dividing the adventure into several times - some dungeons are very difficult to collect all the treasure chests at once, and when you go back to explore, you only need to complete the task in a short time, and defeating the boss will be much easier.
Monsters are stronger at night
This advice is easy to understand. While the monsters themselves don't change in strength, you'll encounter stronger random encounters at night, which can cause trouble when you trek to the next town or dungeon.
Until you have a convenient way to change the time, we recommend that you rest at an inn or wait until dawn before starting your journey.
Automatic archiving can protect your wealth
In the classic version, the penalty for losing the battle is very severe, and you will lose half of your money after resurrection, which is very frustrating. To avoid this, the classic�The method is to deposit money into the in-game bank, so that even if you fail, you won't lose a lot of gold coins due to a moment of greed.
In this game, however, you can avoid financial ruin in a more convenient and flexible way: automatic archiving. In the vast majority of cases, if you lose a fight, just reload your last autosave (usually not too far away from you) and you can escape by teleporting (Zoom) or using Chimera Wings. Try again.
Unless you are in a few special situations where you cannot use teleportation skills, or auto-save does not provide you with an escape route, you must use auto-save before resurrecting.
Experiments with monster taming
"Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remastered Edition" adds a new monster taming system and a related profession - monster tamer. Early in the game, you will be exposed to the monster taming system and gain the ability to recruit monsters you encounter during your adventure.
This feature is closely related to the power of the monster trainers in your team. As the number of monsters you recruit reaches a certain threshold, the trainers will gain new skills. Tamers also learn some very useful skills, such as early group healing and stun skills, making them a versatile character like a hero.
We recommend that you always have a Monster Tamer on your team. Not only are they great combatants, but they also allow you to recruit monsters without having to use musk items or the rogue's Silent Step ability. They are versatile and perform extremely well at their jobs.
Don’t overlook mini medals!
One location that is easy to miss is the well in the starting town of Aliyahan. In this well, you can meet the mini-medal collector, who will provide you with very rare and powerful treasures when you reach a certain number of medals.
Mini-medals are scattered throughout the game, so exploring every nook and cranny is important and the rewards are plentiful - you'll even need to pay special attention to those suspicious-looking patches of ground where you might find these items underfoot.
Rogues will learn a skill that highlights areas worth exploring! If you have a Rogue in your party, it is recommended that you make full use of this skill in every new area (as well as old ones)!
