Square Enix revealed new details about Dragon Quest Treasures including the game’s dungeons and treasure maps.
Dragon Quest Treasures players may enter dungeons through Teleportals, which are large blue gateways. Defeating the powerful monsters inside awards players with useful treasure, medals, and gold. Players may also acquire treasure maps by defeating monsters.
The latest details are available below via Square Enix:
Treasure Maps
In Dragon Quest Treasures, you’ll come across special items known as treasure maps. These will lead you to treasure dungeons where you can earn rewards, including treasure and medals.
So how do you get these valuable maps? Enemy monsters will occasionally drop them when defeated!
Monster parties you’ve sent out on missions can also find treasure maps for you.
When you find a treasure map, a special quest will begin! You can check the menu to see which island the dungeon is on.
If you search the island, you’ll find the entrance to the treasure dungeon – a swirling teleportal!
Treasure Dungeons
Step through the teleportal and you’ll find yourself in a dungeon full of valuable treasure… and also danger.
Treasure dungeons are formed of a series of separate rooms that you have to work through in sequence. The monsters you meet and the treasures you find there change with every visit to a dungeon.
Defeat the enemies that stand in your way and grab your reward!
Defeat all the enemies in a room and the portal to the next one will appear.
Some rooms contain mysterious stone pillars. Touching these pillars will affect your entire party in a number of ways.
Powerful monsters await on the final level of each dungeon. Cooperate with your party to take them down!
You might also come across some rather rare monsters inside the dungeon, including ones with metallic bodies and others that sparkle extravagantly!
Get the better of a treasure dungeon and you’ll earn treasures, medals and gold. There are also rare medals available for those who can clear dungeons quickly!
At one point in the story, Erik and Mia will acquire a special treasure map. It shows the location of a treasure dungeon whose final level is a very special space, where a mysterious – and massive – monster awaits: Hornbull, Sentinel of the Sands!
Lastly, Dragon Quest Treasures launches December 9 for Nintendo Switch worldwide.
