How To Revive Party Members In Dragon Quest 3 Remake

by

As a seasoned gamer with years of gaming experiences under my belt, I must say that the resurrection mechanic in the Dragon Quest 3 Remake has taken me back to the old school RPG days. The sense of urgency when one of your party members falls in battle is palpable, and the need to strategize around it adds a layer of depth to the gameplay.

In the remake of Dragon Quest 3, if a character’s Health Points (HP) drops to zero during a fight, they will perish permanently. Once a character has been slain in combat, they will not be revived even after the battle ends and you move back to the game’s overworld map, as death in this game is irreversible.

In the initial stages of the game, losing a party member often means the game is over, as you must now focus on resurrecting that fallen comrade instead of continuing your adventure. Experience points (XP) are not transferred to deceased characters, and defeating one party member can halt progress due to the difficulty of subsequent battles. This guide explains how to bring them back to life when such unfortunate events occur.

In essence, the optimal method for reviving someone from death is by means of resurrection at a local place of worship, so it’s wise to always possess Chimera wings to quickly return to a town whenever necessary. These places of worship can be identified by their trident-like symbol on the map, and while they may appear as buildings, some smaller cities might only have a Priest or Priestess standing roadside who can still carry out all the necessary functions.

Churches are also the location where you need to go to

In the church or with the priest, you’ll find that the third choice up there is Resurrection. Interestingly, Resurrection from the church has a guaranteed success rate, but it comes at a cost that varies based on who is being brought back to life. Factors influencing this price include:

  • The character’s Vocation
  • The character’s level

During the narrative surrounding Resurrection, players can acquire the ability to bring back fallen comrades not through rising church costs, but by learning the spell “Zing” at level 10. Initially, this spell has a probability of reviving a deceased party member, with a more potent variant being learned later on that guarantees resurrection. In the game’s early stages, players will face a choice between relying on the church or attempting to cast Zing multiple times in hopes of success.

As a devoted fan, I’d like to share this strategy: If your party includes a Priest who can perform the Zing spell, you can significantly reduce the cost of Resurrection by making use of nearby Inns. By casting Zing as many times as necessary and then retiring at the Inn to restore the Priest and the whole party’s MP to their maximum levels, the overall cost of Resurrection will be minimal, typically around a dozen gold or less, depending on the town you happen to be in.
