Where to Sace in Dragon Quest 3 Remake

As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake has truly outdone itself. The game’s nostalgic charm is beautifully preserved while modernizing some aspects to keep up with today’s gaming standards. One such improvement is the save system, which was a bit cumbersome in the original and previous remasters.

As a dedicated gamer diving back into the magical world of Dragon Quest III, I’m thrilled to see how the HD-2D Remake has managed to preserve the charm of the original game while modernizing it to keep up with today’s standards. One of the most noticeable improvements is in the save system of this remake, which was a bit clunky in the past. In this walkthrough, I’ll be showing you the easy and intuitive way to save your progress in the Dragon Quest 3 Remake.

How to Save in Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake

In the remake of Dragon Quest 3, although it generally does a good job explaining the fundamental game mechanics, there may be instances where the information is somewhat confusing or buried among multiple explanations, making it easy for new players, especially those unfamiliar with the Dragon Quest series, to overlook it.

Adventure Log, Explained:

In the reimagined Dragon Quest 3, there are a grand total of nine different save locations, referred to as “Journey Records” within the game. At the start of your epic journey, you’ll select one of these Journey Records for your adventure to be recorded on it.

As a gamer, I’ve noticed there isn’t a standard ‘Load Game’ option for resuming my adventure mid-journey. Instead, I can store various save points of the same journey across all nine files. However, using multiple saves (save-scumming) might be an issue since you can only reload from the main menu. Going back to a previous point with the save files is doable, but it takes longer than what I’m used to in modern games.

Make Time For Church:

In the remake of Dragon Quest 3, your saving options are limited to either a church or an NPC functioning as a church outpost. While some towns may have both, it’s usually only one at a time. Familiarize yourself with the church symbol, as it will be useful for fast-traveling and when you first enter a location and check the map.

Upon your arrival at the church or encountering a nun, they’ll provide you with several choices. To streamline things, choose the initial option, which is simply called Confession.

Peering at the map, I notice that the Church or Save symbol is represented by three ascending arrows, resembling the head of a trident or a candelabra. This distinctive mark serves to highlight both churches and nuns in all the maps I’ve come across.

When to Save in Dragon Quest 3 Remake

In the remake of Dragon Quest 3, there’s an autosave function, but the game actively promotes regular manual saving. To ensure your progress, always save when you’re in a town or outpost with a church or nun before venturing out. Nevertheless, this might not be feasible during intense combat or dungeon exploration; in those cases, you’ll need to rely on alternative strategies.

Fast-Travel to Save:

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled about the Dragon Quest 3 Remake! It’s fantastic that we can quickly traverse our journey from almost anywhere. In a pinch, Chimera Wings will transport me back to any town with a church or nun. However, if you’re still exploring and eager to uncover hidden treasures, it’s best to hold off on using those wings until you’ve had your fill of adventure!

Stop Adventuring:

Outside battle, navigate to the character menu, then select the Miscellaneous area. In this part of the menu, you’ll encounter the “End Adventure” option. This differs from Return to Title Screen, as End Adventure will first save your progress in your Adventure Log before taking you back to the main screen.
