How to Reroll Eggs

Rerolling Eggs

1. Determine which map you wish to farm and collect all eggs in the area.
2. Go into battle 10 or more times in the same area.
3. Fast Travel to other maps
4. Turn off auto-save, then save.
5. Return the same map chosen in 1
6. Look for eggs.

   ---

   If there are no eggs, repeat step 5 and reset. It is much quicker to reset than to spend time searching.
7. If the egg hatches and it isn't the desired monster, return to the Title Screen.
8. Repeat step 4

You can meet the egg respawn conditions by doing battle in the chosen area 10 times or more.

There are confirmed cases where eggs do not respawn when immediately moving to another map. If that does not work, it is recommended to wait for about 5 minutes after completing step ②.

Go to the Upper Echelon of Circle of Caprice

If you have no specific map that you wish to farm on, we recommend doing this method in the Circle of Caprice (Upper Echelon Level).

This is because the visibility for searching for eggs is good as it is easy to see the entire field from a high vantage point (as shown in the image).

Circle of Caprice Upper Echelon Egg Reroll Route

Egg Positions
Check from ②	Check from ③
Check from ④, east side	Check from ④, south side
Check from ⑤	Check from ⑥, west side
Check from ⑥, lower layer	Check from ⑥, directly below

This is a reference route when rerolling at the advanced level of Circle of Caprice. After completing the preparations for rerolling, go to the Aamon's Sanctum (①), and check for the egg position (②,③, and④) without getting off the hill.

Once the egg location is confirmed, Fast Travel to the item and collect it.

Any season is fine for rerolling, but Autumn is particularly recommended. The eggs near Rosehill's tower are submerged in water, so if you are lucky, you might be able to see them from a distance.

Reference Video for Egg Routes

This video will showcase the route and line-of-sight confirmations for the Upper Echelon of the Circle of Caprice.

Once you familiarize yourself with the route, the checks take about a minute or so. If you do not find any eggs, just reset the area and try again. The maximum number of eggs that can spawn on the map is 3.

Autumn is the recommended season as during this season, there are submerged eggs. But because there can be weather changes, it can be troublesome as Lunaticks and Soulspawns can chase you.

If you save in the Summer, move to the Circle of Caprice, then change the season to Autumn using an item like Seasonings or the Seasonal Flute and weather changes are less likely to occur.

Although not shown in the video, you can look at both east and west from the high ground where Rosehill Tower is located. There you can see almost all the remaining egg locations that cannot be seen from near the hideout.

Circle of Conquest and Fortitude Are Recommended Places to Create X-Rank Monsters

Psaro's Pawn, which is an item required to combine X-rank monsters, has a high chance to appear in Circle of Conquest (Upper Echelon) and Kandata in the Circle of Fortitude (Upper Echelon).

Each monster is limited to eggs, so if you get tired of rerolling in the temple, you can try changing areas.

Get the Seasonal Flute to Farm Efficiently

There are eggs that cannot be obtained unless the game is currently in a particular season. So, it is recommended to get the Seasonal Flute.

It is an important item that allows the player to advance through the seasons at any time and can be obtained in the dungeon after beating it.

Although it is a consumable item, if you have 4 Seasonings, the player may continue to use it without having to reset as the item allows you to advance the seasons 4 times.

If you do not get the desired results, you can reset the game back to the point where you used the Seasonings to try again.

How to Farm Eggs Efficiently

Explore the World

Unfortunately, due to the conditions for eggs to appear, there is no choice but to explore the world. If you are not particular with the area you wish to explore, it is recommended to explore an area with a clear view.

Such examples are Circle of Caprice (Middle Echelon or Upper Echelon).

Recommend Exploring Multiple Worlds

Even if you are focus farming for a specific egg rarity, it is recommended to explore various worlds. This is because it has been confirmed that if the player only explores one specific world, eggs will eventually stop repsawning.

So it is recommended not to stay in one area too often, and collect items like Mini Medals along the way.

How to Find Eggs and When They Appear

Eggs Spawn in the Overworld After Finishing Terrestria

Monster Eggs will begin to appear in various areas after finishing all the quests in Terrestria. Eggs themselves will appear in the Lower Echelon, Middle Echelon and even Upper Echelon Levels.

Eggs in the Overworld Are White

Eggs in the overworld will appear as white. After obtaining it, the rarity may increase to Silver, Gold, or Rainbow, with Rainbow being the rarest type of egg.

In other words, the player cannot determine the rarity of an egg until it is picked up. So it is recommended to pick it up as soon as they appear.

Egg Rarity and Spawn Conditions

Spawn Conditions	Egg Rarity	Rank
After clearing Terrestria	White Silver	/ /
After clearing [Cradle of Corruption] Lower Level	Gold	/
After clearing [Cradle of Corruption] Middle Level	Rainbow

Go to Upper Echelon Levels for Gold or Rainbow Tier Eggs

Among the three available levels, Silver, Gold, and Rainbow Eggs are more likely to appear in the Upper Echelon Levels.

Egg-Only Traits such as Holy Warder will also have a higher chance of appearing as Monster Traits in Upper Echelon Level areas.

Rare Eggs Appear as Difficulty Increases

The rarity of eggs increases as the difficulty level increases. For Gold and Rainbow Eggs, it is highly likely that the Upper Echelon levels spawn these eggs frequently.

The appearance of Silver Eggs does not change significantly, so it is most efficient to go directly to the Upper Echelon.

Egg Respawns

Eggs are determined the moment they respawn.

After 10 battles, the respawn condition will be met.

This is a rough hypothesis based on testing. Please view this page for reference only. However, it is confirmed that you can meet the egg repsawn conditions by fighting enemies.

Monster Talents from Eggs

Some Monsters Can Only Be Obtained From Eggs

There are some monsters that can only be obtained by hatching from eggs. These monsters are incredibly rare and difficult to obtain, so it will require some grind to get them.

Some Talents Can Only Be Obtained From Eggs

Monsters that are hatched from eggs may obtain rare skills like Freeze Popper and Wisdom Booster II.

There are also egg-only Talents such as Sparkling Warder, so if you want to raise more powerful monsters, carefully selecting Talents is essential.

Egg-Only Traits

Special Message When Hatching Monsters With Rare Traits

For Egg-Only Monsters with rare Traits, a message will pop up saying I feel strong power from this Monster!. The message will be sparkly, but it is unrelated to the Glittering Monster.

Large Monsters Can Be Hatched

Large sized Monsters can also potentially hatch from eggs. Once you find the Monster you want, you can reset it by repeatedly saving and loading in front of the egg.

Differences from Past Games

Eggs Will Hatch as They Are Obtained

The egg hatching process in previous games used to have the player obtain the egg, wait for time to pass, and then the egg will eventually hatch.

But in Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince, eggs will hatch instantly as they are obtained.

Eggs No Longer Have Names

In previous games, eggs used to have names with prefixes (e.g., Dazzling Dark Haired Egg).

This naming system was placed to help predict the characteristics of the Monsters that would hatch, but in Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince, eggs do not have this naming system.
