How To Use Weapons As Items In Dragon Quest 3 Remake

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I must admit, the limited inventory access during combat in the Dragon Quest 3 Remake has brought a refreshing twist to the RPG genre for me. It’s like stepping back into the old-school gaming days when every item counted and you had to think strategically about what to carry and use.

Unlike many other RPGs where players have an all-purpose inventory bag for easy access to items during combat, the Dragon Quest 3 Remake demands more strategic thinking. Although there is a bottomless storage space, you can’t retrieve items from it while engaged in battle.

In Dragon Quest 3 Remake, you have the option to employ both consumable items and weapons during combat. These weapons can also activate unique abilities or spells when used. Here’s a guide on how to utilize consumables and weapons as combat items.

How To Use Items In Combat In Dragon Quest 3 Remake

In the game, the bag you’ll use most often is not accessible during combat. Instead, each character possesses their own personal stash of items that can be utilized in battle. To access these items, you’ll need to open the main menu and select the ‘Items’ option. The initial choices under this option will display the inventories of your party members.

As a passionate gamer, I always ensure my character is fully geared up, carrying an arsenal of weapons, essential gear, and handy accessories. It’s advisable to make full use of all the available inventory slots for my character to perform optimally in the game.

To add items to a character’s collection, navigate to the “Item Bag” section and pick the object you wish to bestow upon your character. Alternatively, choose “Transfer” to pass the item to another party member who can utilize it during battle, provided they already have that item in their inventory.

To employ an item in battle, first opt for ‘fight’, then navigate to the ‘items’ section on the subsequent menu located on the right side. Any item within your inventory can be utilized during that character’s turn, imparting the standard effects of that item during combat. The majority of gear items simply occupy a slot, with some exceptions.
