@@suprshin Yeah, I've seen those but sadly don't have my DS anymore. When I did though, I couldn't find them anywhere and they were stupidly expensive because of how rare they were around here. Second-hand stores would buy them in flea markets and re-sell them for eye-watering prices. Still have my orig NES cart for DW4 though. :)
About that while you can't DIE in Dracky/Easy mode nearly EVERY DQ game starting with the 4th game has can't WIN bosses in which you only WIN the fight if the ENTIRE party dies so if those games get a can't DIE on Dracky/Easy mode they need to work around that DQ7 also has like 3 can't win boss fights.
Dude, David, your background, all the games, im so jealous of your setup. I dont keep nearly as much physical stuff we have a ton of kids, but its really cool to see a huge collection!
David! Hear me out, can you do one long video about your diet and workout plan? Just one long video, and I’ll never ask again! I saw that shirtless short a week or two ago, and you are definitely doing something right! Thx for more DQ3 tips ⚔️
I second this! I've been lately taking more initiative in improving my health and been shopping for good routines to incorporate and good diet habits. That cooking video he did a while back was such a good recipe.
You sir are doing Gods Work, because these locations are revealing the fastest way to create the ' Every Class Maxxed ' Character.. 1 character that has perfected every class before ending on Sage.
2:25 Holy spit I'm going to try that out right now! Been playing this game since it came in last Friday, I just got my ship today, my party ranges from level 29-31 and I am trying to get 3 of them up to level 48 before the class change because I can be a glutton for punishment plus I can be a little OCD about keeping my party members as close as possible with their levels. This will speed it up so much, thanks again! You are the Dragon Quest guru.
It’s fun seeing you so excited for this. So many videos. I probably won’t play for 6 months as I like the hype to die down but it’s good to know I have a goldmine of videos to catch up on
You've helped me a ton with this game with these tips. I feel like I'm actually playing with a friend. Once I get the flyer, it's all monster recruiting season from here on out
I played DW3 for the GBC and it was so fun. I bought the remake and it’s been a delight so far! I med to keep that grind going for my team though. Heading to the pyramid now.
In the Antarctica area metal slime farming location don't go where David said, there's an island just north of here that has the same spawn rate, but has a place you can teleport to once you enter of course, so if you need heeling and tour mp is gone and want to go back you can.
hey bro, been seeing a lot of your videos popping up while looking for DQIII guides. i dont usually sub to gamer channels because the content is usually all over the place. i usually just search for individual videos when im looking for something specific. But i can tell youre extremely passionate about the DQ series and i want to help you hit that 100k milestone. so you earned a few likes and a sub from me today, keep the quality content coming, bro!
Love your sweater vest!!! Yes, this game is eating up the hours on my end. I LOVE IT! I was 10 when I first started playing and it was everything. I'm loving this journey all over again.
ooo no. early game is Tower of Transcendence top floor. Midgame is Alefgard farming for liquid metal slime. Late game is King Hydra in the Orochi floor of "???"
FYI on the screen with "beaker" monster recruit and the elevating shoes is also a minimedal: it's hidden in the east side of the area, on the southern face of some rocks that have a triangular hole between them.
i didn't even realize i missed dragon warrior 1 and then you flashed the gameplay. i subscribed a while back i keep forgetting you were an original dragon warrior fan. thank you for the effort you put into your content they are all great videos
David!! I found a awesome hack/tip for grinding in the dark world from the island near Galen's house, Once on the island use holy water, (Wards off weaker enemies consumed upon use) Then Have a Gadabout in your party, Use her Ability "Whistle" which is her first ability to get, so like level 5 or something. ( Attracts the attention of nearby enemies) It cost 0 MP and it immediately throws you into battle, Because the holy water is holding off weaker enemies, 9/10 times you get liquid metal slimes or metal slimes!!!!
Using the Puff! spell that turned you into a dragon did lethal damage to metal slimes in past iterations of Dragon Quest. I have the games on my Switch, the older versions and not the HD-2D version. On the fence on whether or not to double dip.
@@rivlasdezeraiit's worth it. If you have leveled up your character with it properly, it will be somewhat effective. I took my level 40 mage and changed her class into an Martial Artist. She's now level 36 and I have managed to kill two in the Maw of the Necrogond. She also has the vamp (sexy) personality too. Her agility is over 300!
Baramos' Lair is by far THE best place I've found to grind in the game. Up to three LMS show up at a time, at least one is likely to stick around (they're less likely to flee in Draconian Mode), and you can minmax all of your classes in a decent amount of time, especially once you get Critical Claim with someone.
I've been frequently grinding on the first liquid metal slime as well as the one by the Teleportal Shrine, I have fought 7 or 8 but only managed to kill 2 and one that ran left Elevating Shoes for my Thief to snatch which is alone a very valuable find, but it's getting to the point where I get more experience out of grinding on metal slimes at the top of the Tower of Transcendence. I will try it again when my party hits 40, as they should be tough enough to handle the other enemies in the liquid metal slime hunting grounds. All it takes is for those Battering Rams to put my heaviest hitters to sleep or the witch doctor enemies to use that instant kill spell and I can wind up with anywhere from one to all of my party members dead.
I will say that using whistle 5:37 works really well to attempt to increase your encounter rate if the encounter isn't what you want flee and then just whistle again
Nothing like the first time you encounter these guys in a fresh playthrough. I love that this version has many of the modern ways to deal with them, like critical claim!
Only problem is Luquid Metals are still a bit rare at that Dark World island. It is a good spot for when you first get to the Dark World tho. The Post Game dungeon where you can fight 3 King Hydras is actually the best spot for the Post Game.
Another good video. Thanks for the tip of winning the boomerang that guarantees hits on metal slime monsters. Another tip I learn on a site for Monster Arenas (where you get the boomerang), change the difficulty to Dracky to not have a hard time winning battles. Although not sure it 100% works for the U.S. and/or Europe since the player for the guide played the original Japanese version of the game, that could have changed for the English versions.
Hi david. I never buy games full price. I did this time from your videos. Im not toooooo far. I think id still orefer $40 but oh well. I do love to support this series. Bought it on switch vs ps5 because of u
I remember metal babble farming: turning a sage into a dragon, hasting the dragon and hoping the dragon gets an attack off before the metal babbles all scatter.
In my own personal opinion the best spot for late game/ post game grinding is Talontar Tunnel. I mean you don't get to use spells but you can still use abilities and items. It's risky but worth it. Also abilities work in Talontar Tunnel but nit spells with are nullified also enime spells are nullifed so the problem of having to deal with enemy that do spells like Zing, Blasto and Frizz are a none issue. But enemies can still use abilities like wildfire and roaring breath. The sage stone is very useful in this area and chimera wings do not work either.
The forested strips of land just west of Persistence have metal slimes and metal babbles. I’ve found the monster wrangler’s Monster Pile-On ability to be very helpful. Especially because a lot of metal slimes will run, and the pile-on will then double down on those that are left. Thief’s hypno-whip ability is also great against large groups of metal slimes, since it will group-hit and has a chance of confusion, preventing slimes from fleeing and sometimes making them attack each other. What’s funnoying is that the first five metal babbles I fought didn’t run right away and I got very close to killing some. Then I got the bright idea to equip poison needle and use assassin’s stab and Every. Single. Metal. Babble. has immediately run from me since then. That’s five non-runners in a row followed by ten runners in a row.
I use the cave just south of the Elf / Fairy village that put that other town to sleep to level early before slimes. Go in with a couple boomerangs at lvl 10-11 and just run circles around the thing you can step on that restores hp and mp to full.
Thanks for the last part, I was wondering if there are "slime hills" in the dark world. Been running around at Z's castle entrance for a chance to encounter the metabbles.
I hear the merchants dig ability has a good chance to get seeds on slime hill. The topic debated on it possibly being based on the luck stat or what you get draws from the drop list for monsters in the area.
The only issue I've been having with farming my experience points is that the liquid metals will hit you once and bounce. I find it much faster just fighting big monsters quickly and getting my experience points that way.
You can actually do a guaranteed one shot in 2 turns of ALL metal slimes. I figured this out just from my Sage's AI doing this. If you cast Puff! it turns you into a dragon that first turn, then the next turn you'll automatically use an AOE flame move that seems to ignore defense. It is doing well over 150 damage consistently and hits 100% of the time for me.
That was on the original dw3 game it was called "bedragon" the spell and it worked the exact same way. I was literally doing this 30+ years ago it's cool how they seemed to include all that was in the original plus alot more
I've been finding that metal monsters are too unpredictable in this game. They run away too often, and on those islands they are intermixed with trash monsters. After a while, the volcano area of the first postgame dungeon works better for me. The King Hydras give more XP per kill and don't run away. They are harder to take down though, so they depend on having a build that can dish out a lot of melee damage, and can resist the sleep and fear effects. You need some good melee damage output to defeat Xenlon quickly anyway. Also, there are liquid metal slimes in the area.
I'm level 99 because I'd done a solo run, so I was already like level 87 by the time I beat zoma, but the end game area kicked my behind and I beat the dragon in over 200 turns, so now I'm trying to quickly level my party I just made
Don't try to go to any place too early you WILL die. If you're struggling grind some improve some equipment and go back couple levels later you'd be amazed how much different a few small changes make
@midnight347 no no, i know I can't go there yet and im taking my time to grind my characters i just was saying i know where to farm when i reach that part of the story
Not the greatest but on level 3 of maw of the necrogond has a healing station that fully heals your health and magic . There's also a chance to run into a battle with three liquid metal slimes . Puff seems to work well too so far it seems to ignore liquid metal slimes defense because the dragons flame always kills them instantly .
Same here. Very smart way to go about it. If you still have trouble go up a level or 2 it makes all the difference. I was having trouble with the pyramid boss on level 14 hardest difficulty. I went back 2 levels later after buying a slightly better weapon for my hero and soldier (only about 5 atack power better) and I was amazed how much less difficult it was when I went back. Don't underestimate what a couple levels and slightly better equipment does
Someone else's video: Near Cantlin. Enemy group of 7 mud hands. Always calls another. Easy to kill. Don't kill all 7. Don't have to move again to reactivate a new group. Jus keep pressing A on the follow orders command. Defend if u think ur group will kill the current stack so they will call for help. In about 15 mins I can net about 30k exp. If I mindlessly do it during the day while doing other tasks I can pull 100+ exp. Needs to be on draky quest difficulty so they don't kill ur team. Great alternative if u don't have the metal killing weapons.
I've been grinding for 3 days straight. I'm about to have 2 sages with almost every ability in the game and one super bad ass martial artist(formally thief, priest and merchant) might turn him into a monster wrangler to replace the one sitting at patty's once they learn critical claim(forgot what it's called in this one). One of my soon to be sages already knows critical claim! Oh yeah, and I just got the ship. Metal hunting in Alaska's the only place I've been.
I’m at the same place and trying to do the same Alaska grinding but I get metal enemies like once every 20-25 battles it’s ridiculously slow.. is there a specific spot in alaska that is better???
I would love to conquer the monster arena, but I still don't know which monsters to use yet! I have them all but trying to figure out which one goes with which team is a bit of a chore.
Hey dude do you do any full walkthroughs anymore? I discovered your channel by looking up a Wild Arms 2 walkthrough and I really liked the one you did.
I haven’t played the remake yet so I don’t know if it’s still a thing: in the Switch release before the remake I usually grind for Metel Slimes in a cave just outside of Jipang. They’re usually in groups of eight.
I already had SOME grinding knowledge, but you definitely game me some good tips I didn't know! Any recommendations for beating the monster arena? I'm one or two ranks away and I keep getting finished off 😞. Could be a good video idea if you weren't already planning on it 👀👀👀

I love how you use the old school names for the bubble slimes. I grew up with the Dragon Warrior names so hearing Babble makes me laugh. Good tips!
Metal babbles ftw
Loving this so far, really hoping after the Erdrick trilogy they do 4-6 in this style next
So much that. I would flip if they end up doing it. IV and V are my favorites and I barely ever played VI!
They have the sort of DS remakes on IOS and Android devices. No controller support tho. So that sucks.

One of my biggest regrets is selling all my old video games and consoles. I sold them for next to nothing to.
This game has been a blast. I wanna try so many classes, grinding will be necessary. Metal slimes genocide, here I come!
"Dragon Quest has always made it easy to grind!" Dragon Warrior NES would like to have a word, young man.
Young man? I wish. I'm almost 43

When you’re telling about a spot, you should cut the video and show a picture of a map with that spot circled
exactly, appreciate the video but this left me even more clueless
Yeah, didn’t value our time at all
Literally just opened TH-cam to watch something while grinding for the final battle and this came up, truly a godsend
I'm having such a blast with my first Dragon Quest game! Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D took my JRPG heart by storm!
You sir are doing Gods Work, because these locations are revealing the fastest way to create the ' Every Class Maxxed ' Character.. 1 character that has perfected every class before ending on Sage.

It's too recent to have a remake that's a "modern" game imo. They're gonna remake the first 3 it's already been announced 1 and 2 are coming
they will probably do seven around 2028, which probably means we will see 9 around 2031

No problem! I hope that makes your leveling go a little faster!

You can also battle the Muddy Hands. It's slow but consistent. You get around 200k exp per hour.
In the post game there's an area in one of the bonus dungeons where you can fight triple king hydras for the same amount
hell yea, i was waiting for this video. that island in the second world is epic. thanks for tips, dave! looking forward to the next video
Glad you enjoyed!
David!! I found a awesome hack/tip for grinding in the dark world from the island near Galen's house,
Once on the island use holy water,
(Wards off weaker enemies consumed upon use)
Then Have a Gadabout in your party,
Use her Ability "Whistle" which is her first ability to get, so like level 5 or something.
( Attracts the attention of nearby enemies) It cost 0 MP and it immediately throws you into battle,
Because the holy water is holding off weaker enemies, 9/10 times you get liquid metal slimes or metal slimes!!!!
Thank you for this! Been grinding the Tower of Transcendence and didn't know about the better spots!
Glad I could help!
Using the Puff! spell that turned you into a dragon did lethal damage to metal slimes in past iterations of Dragon Quest. I have the games on my Switch, the older versions and not the HD-2D version. On the fence on whether or not to double dip.
Still works but gives the slimes 2 turns to flee, so in my experience not really worth it.
@@rivlasdezeraiit's worth it. If you have leveled up your character with it properly, it will be somewhat effective. I took my level 40 mage and changed her class into an Martial Artist. She's now level 36 and I have managed to kill two in the Maw of the Necrogond. She also has the vamp (sexy) personality too. Her agility is over 300!
Thank youuu, I am up to the volcano and I was training on the normal tower slimes and wondered where the liquid ones were. This will help grind a bit

I didn't get it yet (on a strict budget) but plan on it! Also u make good videos and im thoroughly primed for it
thanks so much!
Just platinum'd the game. Absolutely loved this version. Lookin forward to the other 2 games
Something worth mentioning is the ‘whistle’ ability that gatabouts have is essential to grinding.
I got elevating shoes from the pre order but this second pair will make things a breeze! Thank you for this video
Glad I could help!
Haven't got my copy in the mail yet, but I'm keeping this video saved. I know I'll be rewatching it
A beautiful man talking about a cool video game. This is what the internet was made for.
I don't often babble about videos, but this video was Goooreat!
it's Slime time
I will say that using whistle 5:37 works really well to attempt to increase your encounter rate if the encounter isn't what you want flee and then just whistle again
Oh man, thank you for this. I have been in baramos Castle trying to grind.
Glad I could help!

I remember metal babble farming: turning a sage into a dragon, hasting the dragon and hoping the dragon gets an attack off before the metal babbles all scatter.
That STILL WORKS but is learnable 4 levels higher at lv 37 to 38 instead of level 34 to 35.
didn't expect a hot ass dude to be teaching me how to level in dq3 when I clicked this vid

I usually grind the muddy hands that summon the stone statue thing. Can stay in the same battle for like an hour.
Thank you so much for this video!
Glad it was helpful!
Those are some cool Joy Cons!
I hear the merchants dig ability has a good chance to get seeds on slime hill. The topic debated on it possibly being based on the luck stat or what you get draws from the drop list for monsters in the area.
Hi David, first time watcher, now subscribed! I wont buy this game unless its a physical copy. Thanks for sharing this vital info!
Thanks for subbing, and it’s available physically! I have links into the pinned comment :)
The only issue I've been having with farming my experience points is that the liquid metals will hit you once and bounce. I find it much faster just fighting big monsters quickly and getting my experience points that way.
You can actually do a guaranteed one shot in 2 turns of ALL metal slimes. I figured this out just from my Sage's AI doing this. If you cast Puff! it turns you into a dragon that first turn, then the next turn you'll automatically use an AOE flame move that seems to ignore defense. It is doing well over 150 damage consistently and hits 100% of the time for me.
That was on the original dw3 game it was called "bedragon" the spell and it worked the exact same way. I was literally doing this 30+ years ago it's cool how they seemed to include all that was in the original plus alot more
You’re an absolute lifesaver ❤

Great video and really helpful
Glad it was helpful!
I used to control the mud hands mob kills, it keep them spawning more and more mobs. Easily killing, just time consuming if nothing else to do.
Hell yeah! Only real DQ gamers knows metal slimes (and metal king slime in other games) is the one to look out for grinding. Good stuff!
I've been finding that metal monsters are too unpredictable in this game. They run away too often, and on those islands they are intermixed with trash monsters.

Don't try to go to any place too early you WILL die. If you're struggling grind some improve some equipment and go back couple levels later you'd be amazed how much different a few small changes make

Not the greatest but on level 3 of maw of the necrogond has a healing station that fully heals your health and magic . There's also a chance to run into a battle with three liquid metal slimes . Puff seems to work well too so far it seems to ignore liquid metal slimes defense because the dragons flame always kills them instantly .
nice! again great helpful vid
"Slime Hill."
Of course, Metal Slime mass murder has ALWAYS been the way to get tons of EXP, even since the first game back in the 80's. :)
My strategy with most DQ games has been to grind till I can afford all the new weapons and armor in an area and then I'm usually good to go.
Same here. Very smart way to go about it. If you still have trouble go up a level or 2 it makes all the difference. I was having trouble with the pyramid boss on level 14 hardest difficulty. I went back 2 levels later after buying a slightly better weapon for my hero and soldier (only about 5 atack power better) and I was amazed how much less difficult it was when I went back. Don't underestimate what a couple levels and slightly better equipment does
Just Class Changed so there will be some big Metal Slime carnage in the near future to get people up to where they were.
Someone else's video:
Near Cantlin. Enemy group of 7 mud hands. Always calls another. Easy to kill. Don't kill all 7. Don't have to move again to reactivate a new group. Jus keep pressing A on the follow orders command. Defend if u think ur group will kill the current stack so they will call for help. In about 15 mins I can net about 30k exp. If I mindlessly do it during the day while doing other tasks I can pull 100+ exp. Needs to be on draky quest difficulty so they don't kill ur team.
Great alternative if u don't have the metal killing weapons.
Thank you so much.
You're welcome!
I've been grinding for 3 days straight. I'm about to have 2 sages with almost every ability in the game and one super bad ass martial artist(formally thief, priest and merchant) might turn him into a monster wrangler to replace the one sitting at patty's once they learn critical claim(forgot what it's called in this one). One of my soon to be sages already knows critical claim! Oh yeah, and I just got the ship. Metal hunting in Alaska's the only place I've been.
I’m at the same place and trying to do the same Alaska grinding but I get metal enemies like once every 20-25 battles it’s ridiculously slow.. is there a specific spot in alaska that is better???
This game is so damn addicting!
The shoes also increase exp gained in combat.
I actually never use the Poison Needles in this version now that we have the Assassin Stab ability.
Can you do a video about changing classes? Who should I change into and why?
Sir, I need a link to that sweater, please and thank you.
Oh and good vids, hope you get that 100k sooner than later.
Working on it!
I would love to conquer the monster arena, but I still don't know which monsters to use yet! I have them all but trying to figure out which one goes with which team is a bit of a chore.
Hey dude do you do any full walkthroughs anymore? I discovered your channel by looking up a Wild Arms 2 walkthrough and I really liked the one you did.
Looks like im saving grinding til i get that bird. I have 5 orbs atm
I haven’t played the remake yet so I don’t know if it’s still a thing: in the Switch release before the remake I usually grind for Metel Slimes in a cave just outside of Jipang. They’re usually in groups of eight.
I already had SOME grinding knowledge, but you definitely game me some good tips I didn't know! Any recommendations for beating the monster arena? I'm one or two ranks away and I keep getting finished off 😞. Could be a good video idea if you weren't already planning on it 👀👀👀
Thank you. ❤
You're welcome 😊
Just noticed the Lufia II box behind you!!! 👍🏼 ✌🏼 🫶🏼
Just made it to Alltrades! Just how much would you say I should level on the regular metal slimes here? Level 25 or so maybe?
Which is the best classes setup and party do you recommend for a smooth and easy gameplay?
David are you going to do a walkthrough?
