Starting Tips for Dragon Quest III: HD-2D Remake

By HazelJan 21,2025

For fans of classic JRPGs, Dragon Quest III: HD-2D Remake is a nostalgic trip back to the series' roots. However, its old-school difficulty demands strategic planning. Here's how to conquer Baramos:

Master the Personality Test

The initial personality quiz, administered by "She Who Watches Over All," dictates your hero's stat growth. While you can adjust this later with specific accessories, restarting for your preferred personality is simpler. "Vamp," exclusive to female heroes, offers the best stat boosts.

Customize Your Party

In Aliahan, bypass Patty's pre-set party. On the second floor, create a custom team with classes Patty omits, allocating stats and influencing personalities for superior performance. Crucially, always include a Priest for essential healing.

Acquire Essential Weapons

Early game equipment is costly, so securing powerful weapons early is key. The Boomerang (Dreamer's Tower, third floor chest) and Thorn Whip (Aliahan well, requires two Mini Medals from Morgan Minimann) are invaluable. Their multi-enemy attack capabilities make them ideal for your Hero and a strength-focused character.

Direct Party Actions

Utilize the Tactics menu's "Follow Orders" setting. This allows direct control over your party members' actions during combat, a significant advantage in intense battles.

Stock Up on Chimaera Wings

Early enemies hit hard. Before unlocking the Zoom spell (usually around level 8), Chimaera Wings (25 gold) enable fast travel to previously visited locations, including dungeons, a lifesaver for injured party members.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is available on PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
