Dragon Quest III HD-2D All Friendly Monsters

Welcome to the Dragon Quest III HD-2D All Friendly Monsters guide!

There are 121 friendly monsters that need to be collected. You will be introduced to friendly monitors automatically as you near the end of the Shrine of Promise early on in the story. An NPC named Monty the Monster Monitor will speak to you about friendly monsters and request that you help him rescue them. From there, you will be able to encounter monsters and recruit them. Before going for friendly monsters, you should have a Monster Wrangler in your party.

When approaching some monsters, they may flee. If they flee, just exit the area and re-enter to try again. When the monster flees, it will give a reason as to why. Depending on the reason, you will need to use an ability or item in order to get close enough to the monster to recruit it.

• Noticed You – Use the Mage’s/Sage’s Fade spell or Fading Jenny item before approaching the monster.
• Hears You – Use the Thief’s Padfoot ability before approaching the monster.
• Smells You – Use a Musk item before approaching the monster.

However, if you have a Monster Wrangler in your party, you will not need to use any of those items or abilities. You’ll be able to just walk up to every one of them with no issue.

After you have collected every monster, return to Monty at any of the Monster Arenas and speak with him.

It’s important to note that you may get different names for the monsters listed below depending on the order you find them. The names can be different, but the locations are all the same.
