Starting Tips for Dragon Quest III: HD-2D Remake

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 demands strategic planning. Here's how to conquer Baramos:

Navigate the Personality Test

The initial personality quiz significantly impacts your Hero's stats. While adjustments are possible with specific accessories, restarting for your ideal personality is often simpler. The "Vamp" personality, exclusive to female Heroes, offers the best stat boosts.

Customize Your Party

In Aliahan, bypass Patty's pre-set party. On the second floor, create a custom team with superior stat allocation and personality adjustments. A Priest is crucial for healing.

Acquire Powerful Early-Game Weapons

Early access to strong weapons is vital. The Boomerang (Dreamer's Tower, 3rd floor chest) and Thorn Whip (Aliahan well, requires two Mini Medals) are game-changers. Their multi-enemy attack capabilities are incredibly valuable, especially when equipped on your Hero and a strong physical attacker.

Utilize the "Follow Orders" Command

Take control of your party's actions in battle. Switch to "Follow Orders" in the Tactics menu for direct control over your team's attacks and abilities.

Stock Up on Chimaera Wings

Early enemies can inflict serious damage. Before unlocking fast travel via the Zoom spell (typically around level 8), keep Chimaera Wings (25 gold each) on hand for quick escapes and strategic retreats to heal weakened party members.

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