Very early in Dragon Quest Treasures, you will get control over your own base. And with this base comes a few perks. For starters, you will be able to start recruiting monsters. However, if you want to get the most out of your headquarters, you are going to need to start doing your Gang Quests.

These quests will help you acquire a number of valuable stores, as well as increase the maximum size of your gang! These quests will send you to the farthest corners of each island, recruiting characters, and gathering resources. Thankfully, we are here to help you stay one step ahead of the game!

Updated December 23, 2022: With there being a post-game quest, we decided to update this guide. We also didn't have the final party quests covered, so we made sure to clean that up. With these additions, this guide should now be pretty comprehensive.

Expanding Your Gang

Dragon Quest Treasures, Miss Cecilia Behind Her Desk

Once you have fully unlocked the base, hired your foreman, and unlocked travel between the different islands, go talk to Miss Cecily. She will tell you that she wants to expand the base. She will then tell you about three vendors whom you can recruit. It is your choice who you start with, but they all are valuable. B. Rix sells materials and recipes, Axel will sell (or craft) ammo for your catapult, and Chez Blancmange will prepare food. It doesn't matter which order you complete these in.

If you don't formally take the quests from Miss Cecily, then the shopkeepers won't engage with you on the topic of their recruitment. You need to take the quest first!

A Convenient Store

Dragon Quest Treasures, The Shop At You Base

To get a shop up and running at your base, you are going to have to talk to B. Rix in The Maneland. However, before you leave for the Maneland, do yourself a favor and make sure you have a Flintstone on hand. This will save you a ton of backtracking. If you don't, you can head to the Paternoggin. There isn't an abundance of Flinstones here, but we did find some around those jagged stones east of the ruins. If you don't find any, check in the rocky area just south of the ruins, there is a good chance you will find some there.

Alternatively, you can send monsters out on expeditions to the Cold Shoulder Central Area to look for Flintstone.

Of all the shopkeepers you will recruit, B. Rix is the furthest from the Train Station. However, as long as you follow the main path, you will eventually reach the little settlement where he is hanging out. Talk to him and hand over the Flintstone. He will now set up shop back at your base.

If you are feeling brave, head toward the East and look for the Hunter Mechs (there are a bunch of them near the eastern tip of the continent). If you are doing the A Convenient Store quest early in the game, they will be pretty tough, but with the use of Dragon Attacks you will be able to beat them. Try to pelt them with Buddy Bullets and see if you can't convince one of them to join you. You will need a Hunter Mech for a Gang Quest down the line.

Blancmange's Bidding

Dragon Quest Treasures, Madame Blancmange

Talk to Chez Blancmange in the Wingswept Moors. However, make sure you have plenty of Buddy Bullets, as you are going to be doing some recruiting. Chez Blancmange isn't hard to find. She is just a little north of the station. She will request that you recruit a Ham Shamwitch to assist her. Well, you are in luck, guess what monster is shuffling around this very area? That's right, a Ham Shamwitch.

So, go out and battle the Ham Shamwitchs circling the marshy area—there are a bunch of them east of the train station. Once, you snag one, head back to your base and formally recruit them. Then, once you have hired a Ham Shamwitch, head back to Chez Blancmange and talk to her again. She will now set up shop at your base!

Northwest of Chez Blancmange, you will find a group of Gigantes. Killing these monsters will, occasionally, provide you with a Magic Beast Horn. This is an item you will need for a later Gang Quest. So, if you are feeling brave, venture out and tangle with the huge monstrosities. They will likely be a lot higher level than you, but by using your monsters' Dragon Attacks, you will be able to take the advantage. You will need 5 Magic Beast Horns in total. Doing this now will also help level you up, as they will provide a hefty amount of experience points.

Axel's Assignment

Dragon Quest Treasures, Axel The Werks Chief

Axel is the easiest to acquire of the bunch. He doesn't require any prep. He is positioned on the main path, right near the train station. Talk to Axel and bring him a Cinderblock. Lucky for you, the Cinderblock is in a set location. Set this as your active quest, and travel on the path that leads to the northeast.

Dragon Quest Treasures, Acquiring The Cinder Block

The marker for the Cinderblock will appear to the north of the path, so you will need to climb up to the raised area left of the trail at some point. Unsurprisingly, it will be a lot easier to get up here if you bring a monster with the launch ability. The Cinderblock is in a cave. It is hard to miss, as there is a path that leads directly to it. Once you have the Cinderblock, take it back to Axel. And just like that, you will have a blacksmith!

Dormitory TownDraon Quest Treasures, The First Dorm

Miss Cecily is looking for you to bring her a Glacial Golem. These guys are littered all around The Hinterquarters. Unfortunately, they aren't concentrated in one spot. They are present in a number of locations, but it tends to be one at a time, and they often don't reveal themselves until you are quite close. Bring lots of Buddy Bullets and monsters with fire spells (basic Slimes come packing Frizz and you surely have one of those kicking around). At least for us, we had to battle quite a few Glacial Golems before we got a taker, but that just gives you an excuse to explore the Hinterquarters and find treasure.

Dormitory City

Dragon Quest Treasures, The Second Dorm

The final expansion for your base will require two things: 5 Magic Beast Horns and recruiting a Hunter Mech. The Magic Beast Horns are easy enough to acquire. As we alluded to earlier, there is a group of Gigantes on the Wingswept Moors that is very close to where you first met Chez Blancmange. Go there, pinch from the Gigantes, and then slay them. You will get those 5 Beast Horns in no time.

The Hunter Mech isn't particularly difficult either. You simply need to go to The Maneland and travel toward the eastern section of the map. If you have unlocked some of the railway stations here, the Rib Bone Rampart will get you pretty close to some Hunter Mechs. Once you have enticed a Hunter Mech to join you, simply speak to Miss Cecily and you will get your second dormitory!

From the Rib Bone Rampart cross the nearby watering hole, and climb up to the level above; you will need a monster with the launch Forte to get up here. There will be Hunter Mechs in this area. However, some of them are buried in the sand and will only make their presence known when you are close.

Party Monster: Axel

Dragon Quest Treasures, Party Quest Axel

Now that you have fully expanded your base of operations, you will be tasked with getting a party arranged. Axel's quest is pretty simple, you need two Uber Agates. Now, you can absolutely head to the Bitterbutte Bottom Station in the Hinterquarters and look for these yourself. However, as long as you have been unlocking the Hinterquarters stations, you can just send all your monsters out to find some of these for you instead. Just select the Bitterbutte Bottom Area, and you can go do the other quests while your monsters find the Agates.

Party Monster: Blancmange

Dragon Quest Treasures, Party Quest Madame Blancmange

So, you need twenty free-range eggs for this quest. Which is another not-so-difficult task. While you are looking for Ubber Agates on Bitterbutte Bottom, you will encounter Valhalla Vultures. However, if you already have those Uber Agates, then you are better off going to the Soaring Steps Station, as there are a bunch of Styx Raptors you can take eggs from right behind the station. Like with the Uber Agates, you can send your monsters to find the eggs for you (from the Cold Shoulder Central Area). But considering how easy it is get pinch the eggs from the Styx Raptors beside the Soaring Steps Station, we think you are probably better off just going out and grabbing them yourself.

Make sure to pinch from the birds, as this will very consistently yield eggs.

Party Monster: Bricky

Dragon Quest Treasures, Party Quest Bricky

The last thing you need to do is go find a Wight Prince. The best place to locate one of these ghouls is at the center of the Cinderback Ridge at night. So, head over there (doesn't matter which station, as they are positioned relatively closely), and hover down to the center. It won't be long before you encounter a Wight Prince. Once you have gathered all these items, give them to Miss Cecily and you will be rewarded with a party!

Long Live The Hunt!

Dragon Quest Treasures, Iconic Treasure

This is a post-game quest. It requires that you locate 50 iconic treasures. The bad news is, there is no real quick way to do this. However, there ARE a few things you can do. For starters, no more bric-a-brac. Just make sure the party you take with you while exploring gives you a decent treasure outcome, and focus on solely picking up those golden Treasures. Next, dispatch monster parties to the final railway station location on the different island. These will, on occasion, yield treasures. Especially if you compose your teams to give you a high "Golden Ratio". Beyond that, you just gotta get out there and do it. Eventually you will get 50 iconic treasures and complete this quest. As a reward, you will obtain a very special dragling!
