The world is home to several monster arenas, where friendly creatures you've rescued on your travels can test their might in combat! Keep your eyes peeled for any monsters of a kinder disposition when exploring towns, dungeons, and other areas. Should you manage to win a monster arena tournament, you'll earn some special prizes, so do your best to assemble a winning team!

Any monsters you rescue will head off to see Monty the Monster Monitor in a nearby monster arena.

Some of the world's towns have their own monster arenas, where you can take on different tournaments. Each tournament has its own rank, and you can take part in one as long as you pay your entry fee and have enough monsters to form a team.

Teams are comprised of a maximum of three monsters, and you can set your monsters' tactics during battles.

You'll earn money for each bout you are triumphant in. What's more, you also get extra gold coins and prizes if it's your first time winning a tournament!

Everyone in your party has a vocation, the protagonist included, and these determine what spells and abilities they are capable of learning, how their attributes will increase, and what equipment they can use. Make a point of trying out all sorts of vocations to see which combination suits you best. DQ III HD-2D Remake also features an all-new vocation: the monster wrangler. They know more than most about monsters, and will help you befriend any creatures you find who look lonesome.

Allies with this unconventional vocation do battle with an array of monstrous abilities. Not only can they learn attacks which deal damage to multiple enemies at once, they are also capable of using abilities which heal their companions.

Having a monster wrangler in your party will stop friendly monsters from fleeing when you approach. They also possess the Animal Instinct ability which allows them to sense how many cordial critters are nearby. Monster wranglers also learn more abilities in line with the number of monsters you've saved.
