Dragon Warrior 3 – Gameboy Color

Dragon Warrior 3 - Platform: Gameboy Color

Hint: Bonus dungeon:
Collect all the Monster Coins in the game to unlock a new dungeon.

Hint: More Sages:
There are two Zen Scroll Books in every game, but you do not 
necessarily need the book to create a Sage. When you get stronger, 
change one of your characters into a Jester. 
Then train it to level 20 and bring it to the Dharma Temple. 
The Sage option is automatic for any Jester at level 20. It is 
possible to have more than one Sage per game.

Hint: All spells:
To get almost all spells, keep changing everyone to a different 
class and fight around Gondo to level up. For example, change to 
Dealer, then Thief, then Jester, then Sage.

Hint: Easy experience:
To get a high amount of levels, get the Blade Armor then go into 
Gonga's castle. Move around and try to encounter a Metababble and 
attack it. Only have one or two characters on your team. When it 
hits the character with the Blade Armor once, it will always get 
hit back for half the damage +1. 

Have any character have at least one heal spell. Equip the Wreck 
Whip to them, and if they are female, the Light Dress. Warp to 
Rimuldar and walk to Zoma's Castle. You should fight with one person. 
Each fight you get into will result in 6,000 to 19,999 experience 
points. 

Choose any character to go to the Pachisi track in Kol. Sometimes 
when you fight some monsters and get the experience points, you w
ill go to level 99. This has happened to a Hero, Sage, and Fighter. 

Each of the following methods of quick levels require the Spell 
Caster (Mage, Cleric, Sage, or character with the corresponding 
spell from a previous class) to have a lot of agility, as to get 
the first strike in a battle. It is also recommended (if you have 
defeated Baramos) that you go to the area outside of Rimudlar in 
the Dark World. If not, then Gondo Castle will work as well. Go to 
the area outside Rimudlar with a spell caster that has the spell 
BeDragon and any where from two to four party members, walk until 
you fight a Metable (hopefully a large group of them with three to 
five individuals). Immediately cast BeDragon. On the second round 
of battle, your spell caster that is in dragon form will spew flames. 
Any Metables that are on the screen when this happens will receive 
90 to 110 damage (their maximum HP are only 6). You will receive 
approximately 40,000 experience for each one you kill, split among 
your party members. Another way to kill Metables easily is to cast 
Chance immediately. Hopefully it will cause the Metables to explode 
or have one of the other possible instant kill effects that Chance 
has. 

Hint: Experience for levels:
All levels after 50 take the same amount of experience as from 
going from levels 49 to 50.

Hint: Defeating Divinegon:
Note: This is easier If your hero has gone to the level he is on 
to 99 on the track game in Kol. Have two sages and a cleric. 
If you are getting your last wish, this will work best. Start by 
only having your hero attack (save magic for HealusAll) then, have 
your sages cast BlazeMost and have the cleric cast Increase and 
TwinHits to make the hero strong when compared the attack of the 
magic BlazeMost. Be careful when Divinegon fires an Icy Pulse to 
get rid of your status changes in defense and attack. After about 
fourteen turns, he will be defeated and you will get your final 
wish.

Hint: Defeating Lord Baramos:
When you first come in contact with Lord Baramos, immediately 
cast Stopspell or he will hit you with Explodet and Blaze Most. 
Then, have one person that knows spells use Twin Hits on your 
two best fighters. Then, have that same person use Increase. Have 
the other spellcaster use Increase also. You need about five to 
seven Increases to stop is physical blows. When Baramos does a 
non-magical fire attack, cast HealUs. Just keep attacking without 
using magical spells -- unless one of your mages has low attack 
power, then use magic. With these tips, you should defeat him in 
less than five minutes. Party members should be at level 32 or 
higher.

Have at least three people on your team knows the Barrier spell. 
As the fight starts, cast the magic. All of the spells such as 
Explodet will be reflected. Also use the Magic Increase, and Speed 
Up to get your attacks in faster and better. Using TwinHits to 
increase your attack also works well.

Hint: Defeating Mettabels:
To defeat a Mettabel faster than equipping the Blade Armor, just 
have a two Sages or Mages with a lot of speed. Make sure they have 
the magic, BeDragon. Cast the magic at the beginning of the battle 
around Rimuldar area, and hopefully you will get into contact with 
at least six of them. Cast BeDragon and have the attacker spew 
fire. Note: You can not control the Dragon. It should inflict 
about 90 to 120 HP of damage, earning you about over 30,000 
experience points.

Hint: Divinegon's wishes:
After defeating Zoma in the Underworld and earning the title of Loto, 
there will be a light beam at the Dragon Queen's castle which warps 
you to Sky World. Once past the caverns and such, you should reach 
Zenith. It resembles the queen's throne room from Isis. Once down 
the stairs and out the door, you will enter a tower. This is the 
Sky Tower of Divinegon, the most difficult Boss in the game. When 
you defeat him, he will grant you one of four wishes. He will then 
leave you, and the wish will come true. However, if return he will 
still be there. Defeat him again and you can get another wish. This 
time however, you have to defeat him in a certain number of turns, 
which things more difficult. If you are able to do this, any surviving 
party members will get 16,666 experience points.

Hint: Books Of Satori:
Randomly defeat the Blue Beaks. They can be found directly east of 
the Shoals. 

Hint: Hero Shield:
When you defeat Zoma and are tossed up to the fault line, the treasures 
you find will contain Mimics and finally the Hero Shield.

Hint: King's Sword:
Go to the Domadora and go to the stable. Search the grass next to some 
horses and find the Oricon. This item can never be obtained again. Take 
the Oricon to Kol and talk to the person's wife who says that her husband 
make swords for the metal. Go inside the shop and talk to one of the people. 
One of them will take your Oricon and make the King's Sword.

Hint: Zenith:
After you defeat Zoma and you have the title as Loto, go to the Queen 
Dragon's Castle. Go all the way to the north where the elf is locatedand 
stand in the beam. Note: You should be at least level 45.

Hint: Monster Medals:
Monster Medals come in Bronze, Silver, and Gold (in that order). In 
order to get a Silver Medal, you must have a Bronze. To get a Gold, 
you have to have the Silver. It takes time to get all of the medals. 
To focus on the medal you want, kill that monster last.

Hint: Second Zen Scroll:
A second Zen Scroll is located in a house at Rimuldar, when you reach 
it later in the game. Look in the dresser in the house northwest of the 
Blacksmith Shop in Rimulder in Alfgard. 

Hint: Suit changes:
Some armor changes the appearance of you characters. For example, the 
common Plush Suit that adds 35 to your defense will change your character 
into a squirrel. If you have a female in your party and you get a Magic 
Swimsuit from a Merking in Alegard, that character will appear with the 
bathing suit on.

Hint: Better characters:
When you are getting your allies, do not get the ones that are pre-made 
for you. Instead, go upstairs and make a warrior, a mage, and a cleric. 
For the Warrior, use three Str seeds and two Vit seeds. For the Mage, use 
three Int seeds and two Str seeds. For the cleric, use three Wis seeds and 
use two Int seeds to increase your mana.

Red: House of Pirates

Yellow: New Town
Purple: Jipang
