Dragon Quest III Remake Unveils In-Depth Beginner Guide

Mastering Dragon Quest III: HD-2D Remake: Essential Tips for Success

For fans of classic JRPGs, Dragon Quest III: HD-2D Remake is a nostalgic delight, faithfully recreating the charm of the original. However, its old-school difficulty demands strategic preparation. Here's how to conquer Baramos:

Navigate the Personality Test Wisely

The initial personality quiz from "She Who Watches Over All" significantly impacts your Hero's stat growth. While you can alter personality later with specific accessories, restarting for your preferred profile is simpler. For optimal stat boosts, consider choosing the "Vamp" personality, available only to female Heroes.

Customize Your Party for Maximum Effectiveness

In Aliahan, bypass Patty's pre-set party. On the second floor, you can create a custom team with classes Patty omits, allocating stats and influencing personalities for superior performance. Crucially, always include a Priest for essential healing magic.

Acquire Powerful Early-Game Weapons

Early access to strong weapons is key due to equipment costs. Prioritize obtaining the Boomerang (Dreamer's Tower, 3rd floor chest) and Thorn Whip (Aliahan well, requires two Mini Medals). These weapons' multi-enemy attack capabilities are invaluable, especially when equipping a Hero and a strength-based character (Warrior or Martial Artist).

Utilize the "Follow Orders" Command

Take control of your party's actions in combat. Access the Tactics menu and switch your party members to "Follow Orders" mode for direct control over their attacks and abilities. This seemingly small detail proves crucial during intense battles.

Stock Up on Chimaera Wings

Early enemies can inflict devastating damage. Before unlocking the Zoom spell (typically around level 8), utilize Chimaera Wings (25 gold each) for quick travel between previously visited locations, including dungeons. This is a lifesaver for protecting weakened party members.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is available on PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
