How To Switch Party Members In Dragon Quest Treasures

The monsters recruited in Dragon Quest Treasures make up the player’s party team during exploration of Draconia, and may be switched out at any time.

Dragon Quest Treasures allows players to recruit various monsters and assemble an adventuring party that explores the vast region of Draconia while also allowing ambitious treasure hunters to switch out these creatures at will before embarking on new quests. As players battle enemies throughout the game, many might offer their services to the protagonists, Mia and Erik, in exchange for particular items that can be found within the world. New monsters provide support in battles, aid when searching for treasure, and various specializations unique to their characteristics incentivize players to experiment with party structure to bring out their potential.

Whether players plan to switch out the rare rainbow frame monsters or the special creatures with names they meet during the events of Dragon Quest Treasures’ story, they must first scout the monster after defeating it in battle. Monsters are not considered available to join the player’s party until they receive a specific requested item, with named beasts such as the pink slime Oozabella being exceptions as they join without any incentive. Thankfully, there are no gameplay differences tied to playing as either Mia or Erik as the party leader for monster recruitment, with players able to switch between them by simply talking to the other protagonist at their home base.

How To Change Party Members in Dragon Quest Treasures

Players can switch party members at their home base, accessing their list by talking to Miss Cecily, which happens to be near the same place where Mia or Erik can be selected as the primary protagonist. Stronger monsters in Dragon Quest Treasures are indicated through the color rarity of their frames players may see when navigating through which ones to pick for their party. Although players may only have three monsters at a time, there are no limits to how many they can recruit, especially when an increased party reputation has monsters applying to be part of the crew without needing to defeat them in battle.

Monsters have viewable stats that help players decide which ones are best for certain explorations for treasure in Draconia. Each creature has a capacity for what treasure it can carry, as well as special Fortes that assist players when traversing through certain biomes that would otherwise be hard to reach. Players wishing to travel to every island in Dragon Quest Treasures should consider switching their party members to give the best advantage not only against the enemies lurking in the wild but also considering the circumstances these monsters may help them overcome.
