DQ Treasures - How to Scout Monsters

Monsters can be scouted in Dragon Quest Treasures by defeating them in combat! Read on to learn how to scout monsters and why we need to scout them!

List of Contents

How to Scout Monsters

Scout Monsters by Defeating Them

1
DQ Treasures - Locate Your Monster of Choice
Search for your Monster of choice.
Each monster has their own habitat so learning them is a great way to hunt them down!
2
DQ Treasures - Engage in Combat
Engage in combat with as many as possible!
Chances vary depending on rating so defeating more Monsters increases that chance.
3
DQ Treasures - Use Buddy Bullets on Monsters
Use Buddy Bullets to make them friendlier.
4
DQ Treasures - Defeat Monsters to Scout Them
Head to base to meet these Scouted Monsters once the notification appears!

Use Buddy Bullets to Increase Chances

Shoot a Buddy Bullet

Buddy Bullets are a type of Pellet that increases the likelihood of monsters wanting to join your gang!

Scouting Chance Depends on Monster Rating

Monster Rarity
Each Monster has their own rating and rarity. These ratings are: Rainbow, Gold, Silver, and Bronze. Rainbow rated Monsters are the most difficult to catch, while Bronze Monsters would be the easiest!

List of All Monsters

Why Scout Monsters?

Recruit Monsters

Monsters Become Recruitable
Scouting Monsters allows you to recruit them at your base! Without scouting them, you will be unable to recruit them into your gang!

Having a variety of Monsters at your disposal is one sure way to make your journey easier!

How to Recruit New Monsters

Recruit Specific Monsters with Buddy Pellets

Since Buddy Pellets increase the chances of scouting a Monster, your best bet is to save Buddy Pellets for these specific Monsters, such as ones that you really want or rare ones that are difficult to scout!
