Monster Hearts are special items in Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined that give your characters different abilities when equipped. You can find them by opening certain chests and defeating tough monsters. This guide shows you exactly where to find all the chests and monsters needed to collect every Monster Heart in the game.
Collecting all Monster Hearts doesn’t unlock an achievement, but you will get one for defeating 10 tough monsters! It’s called “Vanquisher of the Vicious,” and you’ll likely earn it while following the steps in this guide.
