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

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 careful planning. These tips will help you conquer 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. The optimal choice is "Vamp," exclusive to female Heroes.

Customize Your Party for Success

In Aliahan, bypass Patty's pre-set party. On the second floor, you can create a custom team, selecting classes Patty omits and assigning stats and influencing personalities for superior party members. A Priest is essential for healing.

Acquire Powerful Early-Game Weapons

Early access to strong weapons is crucial due to equipment costs. Locate the Boomerang (Dreamer's Tower, third floor chest) and the Thorn Whip (Aliahan well, requires two Mini Medals from Morgan Minimann). These multi-enemy attack weapons are ideal for your Hero and a strength-based character.

Utilize the "Follow Orders" Command

Take control of your party. Access the Tactics menu during combat and switch your party members to "Follow Orders" for direct control over their actions.

Stock Up on Chimaera Wings

Early enemies can inflict substantial damage. Before unlocking Zoom (around level 8), Chimaera Wings (25 gold) provide invaluable fast travel to previously visited locations, crucial for protecting weakened party members.

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