Where to Find Friendly Monsters in Dragon Quest 3
Dragon Quest 3 Remake has become the hottest talk of town, people calling it a perfect remake, and for good reasons. From the gorgeous HD-2D graphics to perfectly adapted modern gameplay, it’s just an awesome game to play. But the one addition I’ve fallen in love with is The Monster Arena.
This feature reimagines the original’s arena mechanics, introducing Friendly Monsters, a new concept that makes the Monster Arena feel fun and challenging. And the good thing is that there are plenty of these friendly monsters that you can capture, and put them to work in battles, kinda like Pokemon.
List of Every Friendly Monster and Its Location
Friendly Monsters are basically unique creatures you’ll encounter as you explore the world of Dragon Quest 3 Remake. Unlike standard enemies, these monsters are like Pokemons, you can collect. Once captured, they’ll fight for you in the Monster Arena, where battles are automatically carried out based on your monsters’ strengths, abilities, and synergy.
There are over 30 different monsters, and their types to find and recruit, so there’s no shortage of variety. Some are powerhouses perfect for dealing heavy damage, while others specialize in defense or healing, giving you plenty of options to build a team that fits your strategy.
