While it’s easy to dismiss Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake as just a fancy-looking retelling of a 36-year-old game, this modern interpretation adds monster rescuing as one of the new mechanics not seen in previous versions. This side quest has your hero seeking out pacifist monsters on behalf of Monty the Monster Monitor.
Upon first meeting Monty after leaving your home island through a teleportation portal, he’ll tell you that he’s taken it upon himself to “look after as many of [the] cordial critters” as he can. He’ll then ask for your aid in finding them. Here are all the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake monster rescue locations, the benefits you get to the Monster Wrangler class, and the best monsters to use in the Monster Arena.
