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 trip back to the series' roots. However, its old-school difficulty requires strategic planning. Here are some crucial tips to aid your quest against Baramos.

Navigate the Personality Test Wisely

The initial personality quiz from "She Who Watches Over All" dictates your Hero's stat growth. While you can alter this later with specific accessories, restarting for your preferred personality is simpler. For optimal stat boosts, selecting "Vamp" (available only for female Heroes) is recommended.

Customize Your Party for Maximum Effectiveness

In Aliahan, bypass Patty's pre-set party. On the second floor, speak with the counter attendant to create a custom team, including classes Patty doesn't offer. This allows for customized stat allocation and personality influences, resulting in a stronger party than the default options. Always include a Priest for essential healing magic.

Acquire Essential Early-Game Weapons

Early-game equipment is costly. Prioritize obtaining the Boomerang (Dreamer's Tower, third floor chest) and Thorn Whip (Aliahan well, requires two Mini Medals from Morgan Minimann). These weapons' multi-enemy attack capabilities are invaluable, especially when equipping the Hero and a strength-based character (Warrior or Martial Artist).

Take Control with the "Follow Orders" Command

While often overlooked, direct party control is crucial. In the combat Tactics menu, switch your party's behavior to "Follow Orders" for precise control over their actions and abilities during battles.

Stock Up on Chimaera Wings for Efficient Travel

Early encounters can inflict significant damage. Fast travel is unavailable until acquiring the Zoom spell (typically around Hero level 8). Until then, Chimaera Wings (25 gold each) provide quick travel to previously visited locations, saving time and preventing party wipeouts.

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