Just adding a bit more to this.http://www.nikkei.com/article/DGXMZO84212360Q5A310C1000000/
Some backstory regarding DQH development here.
- KT has been offering action game to SE for years (but SE was hesitating to go forward).
- Toukiden really changed SE's mind.
- KT was given 1.5 years for development.
- Horii thoroughly tested it for weekly basis.
..and more.
Are the free battle areas for leveling up? I have generally avoided them but I am near the end game and am having a hard time with some battles. For those who have finished the game what level were you by the final chapter?
I actually got a bit stuck on a level last night and I wonder if anyone could provide some assistance?
It's quite late on in the game. I just beat theand started on the next world. I equipped the correct party members and did the first stage (the escort one) fine. Stage two has youwhite dragon and the shadow demon thingprotecting a barricade from incoming monsters. There's also a monster, a small red thing, manning a canon that you need to destroy every now and again (you can decommission the canon, but it comes back after a while.)
I seem to fail every time, after about 4 / 5 minutes or so. The life bar of theisn't depleted. Why am I getting a game over?barricade
Edit -
Never mind. I did it. Solution was to just get good.
Thanks. I am stuck at a boss right after where checkeredknight is. Checking a strategy video I think I am just way under-leveled. I really like the game so far but I do find level progression is extremely slow through the story missions.
Its similar to dragon quest and you will need to go after metal slimes to level faster.
Go redo the desert stage the mid tier one. Its the one outside of the town in the small area with the quicksand. Metal slimes will spawn there. Use Terry (falcon sword) or Alena (bakuretsuken) as they do multiple hits which will help with actually hitting the metal slime due to its high evade rate.
Thanks for the tip! I don't think I have seen a metal slime in the standard battles aside from metal rider enemies.
I played about three hours last night and it's excellent. It feels like Dragon Quest. While I enjoyed Hyrule Warriors, it felt more of a Dynasty Warriors game with the Zelda theme tacked on. This, IMO, feels closer to Dragon Quest than that did to Zelda. The pacing is brilliant and there have been so many features carried across from the mainline games. It's stunning too - the visuals looks great, I'm so pumped to finally be playing Dragon Quest in HD!
I really like the idea of the Monster Coins. It adds more depth to the battle system, allowing you to strategically place monsters to block off enemies. It feels like it's captured some elements from the Monsters spin-off series and it works really well. Easy to use and understand, even when it was explained in-game using Japanese (since I don't speak the language.)
Even so, I'm a big fan of the Japanese voice cast. At first I thought the main guy sounded a bit deeper than I'd expect, but he does a fantastic job. I'm glad it's getting an English dub, but I hope they leave the option for the Japanese cast in.
Also props for including so much amazing music, the original sound effects and just so much fan service. I'll be buying this again when it finally comes to Europe, no question about it! I uploaded a few videos, including a fight against Gigantes.
uhh you do know that they have already been doing other titles that were not DW or SW related right? and thats before DH or HW
Thanks. Yeah I was just going to comment about the sparkle, I never noticed it before on the mini map. They show up a lot for me in the advanced level of that map. Thanks again

I finally finished that battle this morning. It was definitely the most challenging fight of the game so far. Just curious what is your level checkeredknight?
BTW, I just tried my hand at the DLC battle. If you guys wanted a tough fight, you got one. I lasted a whole of 20 seconds, holy hell. He has two green knights with him too - really strong.
Great work! The trophy guide and other tid bits are very handy. The only things I'd like translations of are the quest requirements. I understand the absolute mammoth task that would involve, though.
BTW, I just finished my first play through. Really liked the ending actually. The last boss fight was really cool. Took me 26 hours in total, but still lots to do.
The boss of the optional area that opens up after unlocking the Strongest of the Strong trophy is no joke. You will definitely need all 99 and damage accessories on for him. Back to farming more King metals, my life as a Metal Slime farmer.
Also the ring that you get from the Jessica and Yangus quest is amazing. It gives +2% for mini medal drops but it's easily more than that, I was getting 25 every 10 minutes just farming low level enemies, some mobs would drop up to 4 at a time.
This is it by the way.
I need to get that thing since getting the small medals is such a huge pain in the ass otherwise. And before they patch it too. Once I get the quest / should disconnect the PS4 from the net so the game wont get auto-update nerf if indeed the ring is "broken" lol
When can you get the quest to get that mini-medal ring? I'm at the barricade mission ATM.
And yes, Atlas is super strong, i had to use the broken character (Terry) to beat him.
The ring is the reward of one of the quests in the Psaro DLC. Also i can confirm it's working, not sure if it's the ring itself or the rare event materials that is going on today, or maybe a mix of both, but i'm done with small medals farming, 200 small medals in like 1hour and platinum trophy, feels good :
I can focus on RGG 0 now !
What is the trick with Terry? I've heard he has some sort of stun lock. Also I'm sitting at 99% for my monsters list I'm assuming Atlas counts as the last one?
Atlas himself isn't even hard it's just the large amounts of other enemies that spawn that makes it so difficult.
Congrats on the platinum its a really good challenge. I'm so close, all I need it the weapons and orbs and my monster list/ coins are both at 99%. Other than that I need the puff puff one still with two characters but they don't seem to want work.
nice congrats!
Thanks !
I had issues with the puff puff one too, it took me maybe 300 resets to finally get Bianca, i hate those random event things, so annoying. Terry is just broken vs Atlas cause of how fast he's gaining tension with his clones (and of course his insane single target DPS), you can just stunlock the boss : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehumI8cKf_o
As for the monster list, i'm not sure if Atlas counts or not since when i beat Atlas i was still missing one monster : ひとくいばこ so i can't confirm sorry.
Level 99? I assume metal slime farming is the way to level up quickly?
Last map of the game : エルサーゼの戦い 上級.
Clear mobs north/west (you do not need to kill the boss far north/west so don't go to far), tp (ルーラ to the flower bed avenue (花壇通り, tp back to the start, clear mobs north/west, do this until the metal monsters spawn, rince & repeat.
Here's a video of how to farm there : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rURUHccwigg
It's recommended to use Alena with 3 ちからのルビー (power ruby) equipped, use clone skill and spam her Square move (explosive fists) cause it hits many times so more chance to kill metal king.
I wanted to platinum the game but farming the small medals to buy the orbs/weapons from the medal merchant is a major pain in the ass...i'm only missing weapon/orb and accessories trophies...
I finished this game today with around 29 hours on my game clock. I did 80% of the quests, but toward the end I got tired of the "kill 40 X" and "get 2 of this and 5 of that" type quests, so I just stopped doing them. After getting Manya, my party consisted of Act, Manya, Jessica, and Bianca for the rest of the game. I think my favorite character is Bianca; her bow and arrow attacks are super fun and very useful.
Overall I enjoyed the game. The graphics are really nice on the PS4, and the sense of destruction was very satisfying. I liked the level up system, the skill point upgrades, etc. The CG story scenes were beautiful. It really shows how great a proper DQ could look on the PS4, with enough time and care put into it.
However, I did not like the following:
-Too many tower defense stages.
-"Kill the gate guardian" missions were overdone.
-The story was not very good. After a few hours Meer's "mata nagai yatsu?" schtick got really old, and after 10 hours it got really annoying. Unfortunately she does it the whole damn game. Over and over and over.
-Felt more like a hunting game (a la Toukiden) at times, due to the mission structure.
-Last boss fight was blah and too easy, with no strategy needed.
A solid 8/10, worth a play.
Seeing just the thumbnail of that video with a metal slime in HD gets me so pumped.
I haven't played this in a while, but I started playing this on PS4 tonight, and a friend wanted to watch me play so I started my stream on ustream...after a few minutes, the stream only displayed a picture of a globe with an exclamation point, and the PS symbols under it.
Are the blocking people from streaming this on ustream now too? WTF?
I got this game about two weeks ago and have been playing it on the weekends.
I'm at the Light Dragon fight now. I have her with three devil amulets and at level 34 or so. When I made it to the second part with 10HP remaining and no healstones left, and was greeted with the dragon again on the restart, I chose to meekly quit the game rather than take the disc out and break it in half.
Is there any strategy to this battle other than to spank the dragon's ass all the time and pray that he doesn't swat you away as you approach? Thanks.
Thanks. Well, I guess the small solace I can take from that response is that I wasn't doing anything specifically wrong.
By the way, was a consensus ever formed on the ideal team? Perhaps there would be separate sets on the basis of AI use only versus characters to have available for player use. e.g., I like playing as Manya but she's probably of little use through the AI. I'd think the only mainstay is Jessica for Hustle Dance, but who else beyond that?
Jessica Alena Bianca seemed pretty good, but I wonder if putting Terry in over Bianca would be better. And so on.
Finally decided to start playing this again, after not being very impressed with it at launch. This time around, I really liked the game and before I knew it, four and a half hours had gone by! Glad I didn't sell this off now.
Question- where is the DLC for this on PSN? All I saw that was available were Dragon Quest III clothes for the two main characters,
So are we going to keep using this OT?
