Mini medal hunting is the bane of every Dragon Quest experience, and in DQ Monsters: The Dark Prince, this is no exception. If you’re looking to receive all the good stuff from the Medallist, here’s how to find them all.
Where to find every Mini Medal in The Dark Prince (Dragon Quest Monsters)
Mini medals love to hide in obscure locations, particularly in breakable jars and seasonal areas. I’ve divided this guide by how the locations are divided in the game’s Zoom list.
Note: This is an ongoing guide. We'll update it as we go!
