If you have purchased or are planning to purchase the Mole Hole DLC, then it's recommended that you bring along synthesized component monsters instead of the synthesized final monster.
As an example, instead of bringing along Dessert Demon, it's recommended that you bring along Chocolate Golem instead.
Once you acquire monsters from playing the Mole Hole DLC, you can easily synthesize them with the component monsters you brought along with you and acquire even more monsters!
This method is especially recommended for those looking to fill up their Monsterpedia!
Dragon Quest Monsters 3 DLC List
Hunter Mech | Hunter Mech | Raptile | Raptile |
Restless Armour | Restless Armour | Slime Knight | Chocolate Golem |
These are great sets of monsters to carry over for multiple reasons. Not only do they include highly capable monsters that are exceptional for early stage exploration, scouting, and battles, but they can be synthesized to create powerful E-rank monsters!
Since some of these monsters are components for monsters such as Escudogre and Mandrake Major that both have high attack power, scouting for new monsters will remain easy even after synthesis!
Hunter Mech | Restless Armour | Raptile | Chocolate Golem |
Dessert Demon | Whizzard | Garuda | Cloud Surfer |
These sets include monsters whose synthesis, whether to create them or to create other monsters, are comparatively more complicated than most.
However, most of these monsters can learn all-out attack spells and breath attacks very early on, so it's recommended to bring them along with you if you're looking to make the early stages of the game a walk in the park!
