Hi all,

I am replaying DQ II HD 2D and I am at the beginning of the game after recruiting Peronel.

For some reason I am absolutely struggling with MP management. My characters are all the time running out of MP in the overworld and Magic Waters are not very common.

Which are some tips for MP management in this game?

The release is coming up close to my birthday, and for the first time in my life, I’m planning to buy myself a proper birthday present. As an adult, I’m really looking forward to this game, but I think my inner child is even more excited.

I used to spend so many hours playing Jokers 2 as a child with my former best friends! Collecting monster, getting the best teams and battling each other. Those memories are a big part of why I’m so excited for this new entry.

My goal is to complete as much of the game as possible, ideally reaching 100% completion and collecting as many monsters as I can.

I’d also love to get really good at PvP and see how far I can climb the rankings. Aside from battles with friends I’ve never done PvP in a DQ game so I’m excited to see what it’s like.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been this excited about a game. I can’t wait to dive into the game and spend hundreds of hours in it.
Low-key feels a little healing for my inner child haha

You folks may be interested in this. Co-op sounds pretty chill.

Hey everyone!

I’m in the post-game and have reached the point where I need to assemble the four silver fragments. However, I’m stuck because I can’t find the third one, which is supposed to be in the well in Estard.

No matter what I do or how many times I check the well, the fragment just doesn’t appear. I’ve tried everything I can think of, but I can’t seem to make it show up, and I’m unable to progress any further without it.

Am I missing a specific requirement or trigger that makes the fragment appear? Is there something I need to do first, or could this be a bug?

I’d really appreciate any help or advice. Thanks in advance!

I think I found the sunken ship but I can't get in or a prompt can any of you tell me if I'm in the right spot it's like an inch on the map north of galenholm

I've gotten up to the Gracos fight, and she has been a huge favorite. Her dialogue and party chat while cocky and even arrogant is quite amusing. And unlike "Prince Twit" (actually comes from her) who abandons you early on for someone he barely met, she remains you as a loyal companion as you travel on. And I haven't gotten that far but I think she only leaves once briefly meaning she remains with you up to the end. What do others think of her? Do you like her as a companion. What you think of her dissing you or acting arrogant? Find it amusing?

after literally weeks of grinding, improving my dragonsbane and and dragon shield with oomph and buff scrolls, stocking Evac scrolls, and the crown jewel, a sustaining ring, I made it to floor 27 and found the chest of cheer. I tried an evac scroll but of course it doesn’t work. Fine, we’ll go the long way.

I had to make a LOT of use out of sealing staves I found due to winky’s, but I managed to get to floor 25….where of course a monster den blocked the exit. I cleared it (though it was tough). Floor 24 was a the silvapithacus party but I got to floor 23. I walked into a room…bam, monster den, winky right at the entrance confuses me before I even get a second move. I try to walk into the corridor and course I go further in the den and die a turn later.

I am so mad. That is such a frustrating way to lose, I uninstalled the game. I lost my dragonsbane +7, dragon shield +7, only sustaining ring…I am not going to spend more weeks grinding to build back up only to have something that unfair happen again.

Of all these strong monsters, winky’s are by far the worst enemies in that game. A single one in the wrong place will ruin your entire run.

Hey everyone!

DQ9 has always been my favourite game. It started as a spreadsheet of every item and how to get it, and it got completely out of hand: I ended up reading the game's code itself, and now it's a whole website.

https://dq9encyclopedia.com

What's in it:

- All 1,176 items, each with every way to get it (shops, chests, monster drops with the exact rates, alchemy, quests, sparkly spots…), simplest first

- All 307 monsters: exact drops, where they show up and how often, by day and by night

- 184 quests with solutions, and every place with the game's own maps and numbered chests

- Grottoes: decode your treasure map, all 393,216 maps sifted through, the single-monster floors for liquid metal and metal king slimes, legacy bosses

- Vocations, all 208 spells and abilities, all 26 skill lines, the best gear for each vocation

- The real battle formulas and RNG, and EXP manipulations (map method) checked against the code

- Playing today: melonDS on PC, the DQVC shop at home, local multiplayer

- English, French and Japanese, free, no ads, works on phone

A big part of this stands on years of discoveries by the community (TKG, Sylwer, Gradis, yab, The Quester's Rest Discord and many more). Everyone is credited on the site with links, and every claim was checked in the code.

It's not finished: the story walkthrough isn't detailed yet. If you spot a mistake or something missing, tell me, I'd love to hear it!
