@@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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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 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 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.
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.
How frequently do liquid metal slimes show up ? I'll be farming a lot because there's an achievement for learning every spell in the game . I do have the ship so I'll definitely head there later tonight
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
Later in the game, close to the end, you can fight gold golems for about 3,000 gold per kill. There may be some other shenanigans to make gold quickly that I don't know about, but as far as earning it from battles, the gold golems are the way to go!
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’ve been trying the “Alaska” grinding but so far I’ve only met one liquid once and a few metal slime 3 times in 2h! I don’t get it.. they appear once every 20+ battles.. do they appear more at night or something?
I've found that Alaska and the West Coast of the "U.S." (near the tower) are places where Metal monsters can appear, but, as you noted, not often. The area north of Alltrades Abbey and the tower north of there produce a more robust number of them.
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
Its a type of armor either FROM the DLC chest in the bar at the start of the game OR from the Cave that has the Ra's mirror in it via a chest but its PURE CRAP all it does is boost Physical defense in a game where the WORST moves are breath attacks/spells so its worthless.
I wish but no the King Medal ones aren't in this remake we will have to wait until DQ4 gets this treatment and even those ONLY show up IN its final dungeon/post game for both DQ4 and 5.
Warrior only and sadly ONLY at lv 39 Puff/Be Dragon the lv 38 spell STILL WORKS but you need them to stick around for 2 full turns which against the Liquid metal ones isn't likely. The 100% Critical still is from the Martial Artist lv 47 to 49 but COSTS the SAME MP as its DQ11 verison so Mad caps stolen won't even CUT the 68 MP cost by half.
Just got to Portuga im level 21 not sure if I'm underdeveloped i learned monster wrangler is very hard to level up and wisdom affects how u learn skills my thief is 19 and still doesn't know snoop
Wish I could play this now, but Square released just about the same time as FFXIV patch 7.1 there is a lot to do. I have 16 wing tomes but I am bad at the rolls and lots to do still. Cleared the unreal trial farming the faux leaves as well... Oh Square why did you not releas DQ a month earlier when there was nothing to do?
A quick tip for seeds is save at a church before you give someone a seed as it has a chance to give 1-3 of the stat and you want it to give you 3. If you get 1 or 2 of the stat just reload until it gives you +3 then save and repeat for all of your seeds. I know it’s long winded but it will make a huge difference.
I wish you would show people where you are on the map because it's extremely difficult following along with what you're saying because you talk as if everyone plays this game as much as you do.
@davidvinc I apologize if I didn't catch that, but you said "Antarctica." To me, that means the top of the map in the cold area. However, you were nowhere near the top; you were at the choke point of the river. Yes, you may say the name of the place, but many people (such as myself) have never played this DQ before. DQ11 was when I was first introduced to the game. Regardless, keep up the good work. Thank you.
The dei stuff is Token stuff at the beginning and doesn’t change the game at all the main character is still a choice between male and Female even if it doesn’t say so female only armor still can only be worn by female characters etc think of it as the devs thumbing there noses at western censorship
@germainetaylor1757 all that shit is stupid as hell. I can't stand this weak whiney world we live in. All these powder puffs need a strong slap across the face.

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
This game has been a blast. I wanna try so many classes, grinding will be necessary. Metal slimes genocide, here I come!
This was a dream come true. Now I need an HD2D remake of DQ9
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
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.
@@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. :)

Yes
@@RhysHill-ur8lq 🤣
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.
@ I watched that cooking video like 4 times lol I was so sad he hasn’t done anymore.
I'm having such a blast with my first Dragon Quest game! Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D took my JRPG heart by storm!
Im enjoying this wonderful game of days past. A lot of memories. The frustration and the feeling you get when you finally get through the endeavor
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
Wow that boomerang is amazing!!
I wasn't sure how worth it the arena was but I'm definitely going to try to get that!
Things i look forward to. Playing DQ3 HD2D and waiting on a David video about DQ3 HD2D!
Something worth mentioning is the ‘whistle’ ability that gatabouts have is essential to grinding.
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.
That is awesome!
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
Welcome back!
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
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!
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.

Still works but gives the slimes 2 turns to flee, so in my experience not really worth it.
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!
Haven't got my copy in the mail yet, but I'm keeping this video saved. I know I'll be rewatching it
I named my merchant marle with the blond hair and everything lol
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, the area north of alltrades Abby at night you can fight metal slimes without having to go into the tower.
Hi David! Hoping to get this game for Christmas. Appreciate all these tips and tricks!. Have a blessed day everyone!
Just platinum'd the game. Absolutely loved this version. Lookin forward to the other 2 games
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!
Love your background, so many treasures!
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.

Got to the dark world earlier today and about to do that rematch.
BRB gonna go grind the monster arena for that boomerang!
Metaphor refantazio collectors edition spotted. Here’s a sub🎉
"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. :)
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.
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.

David and Dragon Warrior/Quest grind time
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 :)
Can you do a video about changing classes? Who should I change into and why?
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 don't often babble about videos, but this video was Goooreat!
it's Slime time
You deserve a million subs
You can also battle the Muddy Hands. It's slow but consistent. You get around 200k exp per hour.
Great video and really helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Which is the best classes setup and party do you recommend for a smooth and easy gameplay?
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.
I usually grind the muddy hands that summon the stone statue thing. Can stay in the same battle for like an hour.
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.
Those are some cool Joy Cons!
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.
Just noticed the Lufia II box behind you!!! 👍🏼 ✌🏼 🫶🏼
nice! again great helpful vid
Hi David could you tell me if there are monsters to reliably steal seeds from? Ive gotten a few seeds randomly.
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.
2:28 ok so the spot your showing on the map here is were the Liquid Metal ones are?
How frequently do liquid metal slimes show up ? I'll be farming a lot because there's an achievement for learning every spell in the game . I do have the ship so I'll definitely head there later tonight
Will you do a lets play of dq3?
You’re an absolute lifesaver ❤
This game is so damn addicting!
I'm fairly early in the game and I don't understand the tomes, should I be saving them until I can change classes?
Im stuck at the tower where is a character named robin hood or something but my healer keep dying XD
This is great help when i eventually go there
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
Just Class Changed so there will be some big Metal Slime carnage in the near future to get people up to where they were.
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!
The shoes also increase exp gained in combat.
Still way too early in my play through to worry about it, but for future reference, any particularly good grinding spots for gold?
Later in the game, close to the end, you can fight gold golems for about 3,000 gold per kill. There may be some other shenanigans to make gold quickly that I don't know about, but as far as earning it from battles, the gold golems are the way to go!
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.

The area north of Alltrades Abbey and the tower north of there produce a more robust number of them.
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.

Just farm king hydras they give 104k experience and there is a three pack encounter of them that will give each character 78k
Looks like im saving grinding til i get that bird. I have 5 orbs atm
where do you get the cat for the party?
Its a type of armor either FROM the DLC chest in the bar at the start of the game OR from the Cave that has the Ra's mirror in it via a chest but its PURE CRAP all it does is boost Physical defense in a game where the WORST moves are breath attacks/spells so its worthless.
Where do we find King Metal Slimes?
I wish but no the King Medal ones aren't in this remake we will have to wait until DQ4 gets this treatment and even those ONLY show up IN its final dungeon/post game for both DQ4 and 5.
Those didn't even exist until the 4th one so it makes sense they aren't in this.
Thank you. ❤
You're welcome 😊
Does poof work on metal monsters?
Yes
The rate of seeing metal slimes for me is really low. Is this normal?
Yes they're one of, if not the rarest enemies in the franchise
is Metal Slash or equivalent in this game?
Yup!
@@davidvinc does hero or warrior get it and do you know what level?
Warrior only and sadly ONLY at lv 39 Puff/Be Dragon the lv 38 spell STILL WORKS but you need them to stick around for 2 full turns which against the Liquid metal ones isn't likely.
The 100% Critical still is from the Martial Artist lv 47 to 49 but COSTS the SAME MP as its DQ11 verison so Mad caps stolen won't even CUT the 68 MP cost by half.

hi David
Recent subber. Thanks for the great content (-:
Welcome aboard!
Wish I could play this now, but Square released just about the same time as FFXIV patch 7.1 there is a lot to do. I have 16 wing tomes but I am bad at the rolls and lots to do still. Cleared the unreal trial farming the faux leaves as well... Oh Square why did you not releas DQ a month earlier when there was nothing to do?
Is there a better spot to grind xp than slime island post game?
Why is that bird so slow
Good quesion its SLOW as hell when flying YET in the DQ1 to 3 collection it flies a HELL of a LOT faster.
Ramina is a little slow? That is an understatement. My grandma can running faster and she's 97.
I’m 2 hours into the game and you may as well be speaking a different language lol
First
A quick tip for seeds is save at a church before you give someone a seed as it has a chance to give 1-3 of the stat and you want it to give you 3. If you get 1 or 2 of the stat just reload until it gives you +3 then save and repeat for all of your seeds. I know it’s long winded but it will make a huge difference.
A mix of twos and threes are enough, you'll get quite a number of seeds before the first major boss fight anyway.
That is cool but stuff like that is kind of cheating too.
Brother, please don't wear that outside. You'll thank me one day
I wish you would show people where you are on the map because it's extremely difficult following along with what you're saying because you talk as if everyone plays this game as much as you do.
I do. I literally say where to warp to and where to walk and even show my locations on the large map
@davidvinc I apologize if I didn't catch that, but you said "Antarctica." To me, that means the top of the map in the cold area.

@Slimdulla87 Antarctica is at the southern most reaches of the earth why would that mean North? Lmao
I love you bro, but my wallet stays closed when western countries force devs to bend to their knee. *hugs*
The dei stuff is Token stuff at the beginning and doesn’t change the game at all the main character is still a choice between male and Female even if it doesn’t say so female only armor still can only be worn by female characters etc think of it as the devs thumbing there noses at western censorship
The female warrior was already censored by Akira Torayama years earlier in Dragon quest 8 same with the cleric robes .
