TheMonster Arenais one of the most interesting new additions inDragon Quest 3 Remake.While the original had an arena, the mechanics have been completely changed for the remake. Throughout the game, players will encounterFriendly Monstersthat they can catch and recruit for use in the Monster Arena. There, monsters will fight, offering players the chance to win some extremely valuable rewards. Also, every monster you capture will help improve the Monster Wrangler,DQIII Remake’s new vocation. This guide will tell youwhere to find every Friendly Monster inDragon Quest 3 Remake,and the rewards you’ll get for doing so.
All Friendly Monsters in Dragon Quest 3 Remake
There are so manyFriendly Monstersin Dragon Quest 3 Remake,that the only way to truly organize them is bymonster type. Every monster type has at least two Friendly Monsters found in the world. For example,GobblerbertandAntonyare both Antgobblers. The first monster you find of each type will be the base, with each additional monster of the same type found acting as upgrades to the base monster.
The list of Friendly Monsters in this guide will be presented alphabetically by monster type, withAntgobblerstarting the list. Each monster can have up to three variants, each with its own unique name, likeGobblebert.You can search the document by monster type or name. Remember, not all monsters can be easily caught. Check our guide tocatching friendly monsters inDragon Quest 3 Remaketo learn more.
And remember, locations are not tied to specific monster names. If you collect them in the order we did, you’ll get the same result. But it is also possible to get a different result if you visit the locations in a different order. If there are four varieties of a single monster type, and four different locations, the first location you visit will always be the base version of that monster. You may have found a monster on the list in a different location, and that’s OK. Just verify to visit every location, and you’ll get every monster.
