When you first begin your adventure inDragon Quest 3 Remake, you’ll take a personality test to see what personality the hero will start with. Personalities determine what stats increase at what rates, making it very important to pick the right personality right away.

While you can change personalities later, it’s easy to get the personality you want through the personality test if you know what to do. The Tough Cookie personality is one of the better options if youcan’t get Vamp; here’s how to get it.

Yes

Do you believe the world to be filled more with sadness than with joy…?

After answering the following questions you’ll be sent to a forest with an old man who will ask you to push a bolder back to him if you find one on your way out. You’ll now need tofind the boulder and push it back to the old man 40 times. To do so, walk left as you’re leaving the forest and you’ll come across the boulder. Stand on the left side of it and run or walk into it to begin pushing it. Push it back to the old man and he will thank you and give you ten gold coins.

This is not real gold and does not transfer outside of the forest.

The boulder will keep reappearing once it is pushed to the old man, so you’ll just need to go back and forth until he finally tells you that you’ve given him 40.After the 40th boulder, it will stop respawning, so you can skip the dialogue and keep running back and forth to speed up the process. After giving the old man all 40 boulders, keep running left to leave the forest and getthe Tough Cookie Personality.
