We all want to own more powerful monsters, but normal synthesis isn’t enough to achieve that. In Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince, there exists special synthesis combinations that will allow you to fuse monsters and end up with something completely unique and of a higher rank by default.
Every Special Monster Synthesis Combination in The Dark Prince
Take note that only some special synthesis monsters can't be found in the wild. However, it still helps to create some of them from scratch due to the added ranks and talents you can cultivate. Here's our ongoing Local Monsters List so you know where to scout the ones you need.
The only monsters I will not be including in this list are those you can synthesize with a "partner." In that case, you can consult our matchmake synthesis guide instead.
Note: This is an ongoing guide.
“Show No Mercy” Monsters
Whether it’s because of their strong physical talent or amazing Wisdom stats, these monsters can really pack a punch. Some of them can double as buffer or healer depending on the situation.
