Parallels to Dragon Quest 4

Seasons Stop When You Are On Water

If Psaro is standing in or above water, the game will remain in the current season until Psaro touches the nearest shore.

While the video only depicts a short amount of time, this phenomenon has been observed to last indefinitely.

Psaro's Various Reactions

There is an audible difference between Psaro's reactions when opening chests that contain better items compared to chests that contain common items.

Monty's Secret Passage

Examining the torch on the left side of the bookshelf, behind the Altar of Amalgamation, will reveal a secret passage.

Revealing this secret passage will prompt Monty to award the player with a Mini Medal.

All Mini Medal Locations and Rewards

Metal Slimes Are Much Slower

Metal Slimes of all kinds are significantly slower in Dragon Quest Monsters 3 compared to their previous iterations in older titles.

Older versions of these Slimes will have them vanishing almost instantly once they spot the player, but here, they will run away at a reasonable pace and will only despawn once chased too far out of their original spawning point.

Speak to Animals Using the “Secret of Evolution”

Once players acquire and use “Secret of Evolution” as part of the game's story, Psaro will obtain the ability to understand animals.

This means Psaro can now have conversations with the various cats and horses located around Rosehill.

The Suspicious Door

On the left side of the Throne Room within the final dungeon is a set of purple doors that are slightly ajar.

These doors have been confirmed to be part of the game's DLC, as there are only 526 collectible monsters in this game, which seems a little small compared to Iruka SP.

Dragon Quest 4 Alternate Reality

Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince exists as an alternate reality to a previous game, Dragon Quest 4.

In DQM3, we get to see the story from Psaro's perspective if some of the outcomes turned out slightly different.

How to Beat Metal Slimes Using Spells

Jump Over The Railings To Reach The Altar of Amalgamation

You can quickly reach the Altar of Amalgamation by jumping over the railings and falling to the bottom floor.

You Can Use Zoom Anywhere

Zoom makes a comeback in Dragon Quest Monsters 3, but unlike older titles, Zoom can be used anywhere.

This means Psaro won't be bumping his head on any ceilings when standing indoors or in caves, with the exception of not being able to use Zoom during certain parts of the story.

Escape Monsters by Using Ladders

Monsters who have turned hostile against Psaro will stop chasing him the moment he begins to climb any ladders or ivy vines, so use this to your advantage when you're trying to avoid monster encounters.

Spawn More of Your Target Monster

By eliminating the unwanted monster species near your target monster, you can increase the chances of multiple spawns of your target monster during your upcoming encounter.

For example, killing all the other monsters near a Metal King Slime will increase the chances fighting multiple Metal King Slimes once you begin your battle encounter.

Lower Resistances to Kill Metal Slimes

You can kill Metal Slimes with Spells by lowering their resistances to specific elemental types.

By stacking resistance lowering effects from multiple sources, you can lower a Metal Slime's resistance enough for elemental damage to penetrate their defenses.

Dragon Quest Monsters 3 Secrets

DQM3 List of Secrets
Scout 300 Monsters To Acquire Fizzy
Feed Monsters For More Chances to Scout
Farm Certificates From The End-Game Dungeon
Defeat The 4th Secret Boss For More Metal Slimes

Fill 300 Monster Entries To Acquire Fizzy

Successfully adding a total of 300 monster entires to the Monsterpedia will result in the acquisition of the rare monster Fizzy.

Once you've added 300 monsters to the Monsterpedia, speak to Fizzy on the first floor to trigger an event that awards the player with the rare monster Fizzy.

Fizzy: Monster No. 512

Feed Monsters For A Higher Scout Chance

Monsters that you have failed to scout can still be acquired if you've fed them enough meat.

By feeding monsters meat, you increase the chances of them joining your party after defeating them, meaning that failing to scout the monster you want doesn't always have to end with you empty handed.

Farm Certificates From The End-Game Dungeon

After completing the main campaign, you can access a post-game dungeon where you can farm for some of the best Certificates in the game.

Defeat The 4th Secret Boss For More Metal Slimes

By defeating the 4th Secret Boss after having completed the main story, players can dramatically increasing the spawning rate of Metal Slimes.

If you're looking to participate in Online Battles, or are just looking to farm Metal Slimes, we highly recommend defeating the 4th Secret Boss first.
