Quick Links
Treasure remains one of the critical parts of Dragon Quest Treasures. You want to explore the islands throughout the game, find all the chests, and see what you can discover during your exploration. Doing so requires you to go through the map, which can initially seem daunting.
Luckily, the game offers a scan ability and your monsters to help you with the search. However, narrowing down the exact locations and getting there can sometimes be challenging. If you want some help to get all the chests on Paternoggin, you can take advantage of some screenshots to make the process easier.
What Makes Chests Different From Treasure And Bric-a-Bracs?
As you go through the game, you'll come across chests, but you'll also find treasure and Bric-a-Bracs. However, those aren't the same as chests since the treasure you put into your vault appears if you use the Fortune Finder Forte. As for Bric-a-Bracs, they light up if you get close to them. You must dig into the ground and find the buried chests for either option.
On the other hand, chests refer to boxes you'll find around the island. You don't need to use an ability to find them, but you can make your search more manageable with the Scan ability. With that in mind, ensure you recruit a monster with Scan to help you identify chests in the area.
These treasure chests usually contain small items, like pellets, to help you on your adventure.
Recommended Fortes
Before you start your search, we recommend you bring three crucial fortes with you: Scan, Launch, and Glide. Scan, as previously mentioned, will help you find all the treasure chests. While you'll see materials in the area, you'll also see the chests. Most materials have rougher and rounder shapes, but the chests have distinct rectangular shapes, making them easier to find. That way, as you use the scan along with the chest guide, you'll find them more accessible. You can get the Scan ability from an Ogre early in the game.
As for Launch and Glide, you can use them to traverse the map. You'll automatically get these Fortes from Oozabella and the Dracky that join your party early on. Launch lets you reach higher heights, such as chests on buildings. Glide gives you a bit of a boost up and then forward, allowing you to make horizontal distances. If you plan to go treasure hunting, bring these two along with Scan to make the search as easy as possible.
At the start of the game, recruit two Ogres. You can leave one at your base and use the other for searching the land. Otherwise, you'll have to go back into the field, recruit another Ogre, and hope you have the materials to get it on your team.
Where To Find Every Chest
As you go through the island, you may question if you found all the treasure. Luckily, you can utilize a chest guide to check all the locations, see if you got them, and continue your search for everything Paternoggin offers. Since Paternoggin has two levels, you can find the chests for the upper and lower sections while getting the four colored chests.
Upper Paternoggin Chests
You can start with Upper Paternoggin since the area has weaker monsters. You may have trouble finding some of them, but you won't have to worry about monsters knocking you out.
