The charm of leveling up in Dragon Quest 2 Remake lies in the 1.5x experience points bonus that can be obtained by using the easy play mode and the instant encounter that can be achieved using the beak special skill. If you register this skill that Prince Samartria learns at level 12 as a convenience button, you can reduce your travel time to zero. In addition, by combining the Happiness Vest (10% increase in experience points) and Happiness Shoes (gain experience points while walking), efficiency will further increase explosively. The five major spots in this guide are carefully selected according to your progress level, and can be seamlessly connected from the Rondalquia Mountains at the beginning to the Endless Corridor after clearing. It is realistic to reach level 99 in about 3 to 5 hours, assuming easy mode. Let's take a deep dive into each spot.

1. Strongest spot in the early stages: Achieve an explosive level up on the Rondalukia Mountains – Fujin Tower Narrow Path

The most efficient place to level up in the early stages of Dragon Quest 2 Remake is the long, narrow road between the Rondalukia Mountains and the Tower of Wind God (Tower of the Wind). This area is accessible immediately after joining Princess Moonburg, and you can earn 6000-8000 experience points in a single encounter, so you can reach levels 20 to 30 within 15-20 minutes.

Access method and recommended timing

To reach this spot, first recruit Princess Moonburg in the story, then head north and cross the Rondalquia Mountains. The best route is the narrow path just before you reach the Wind God's Tower, and setting the Lula Stone to the Wind God's Tower will make going around it easier. The recommended timing is around level 15-20, when you have 3 friends. Turn on Easy Play Mode and set the battle speed to super fast.

Appearing enemies and experience value details

The main enemies are monster-type and plant-type monsters, and the most typical ones are Chimera and Recanto. The standard total experience points per battle is over 6000, and in a party of 4 people it reaches nearly 8000. For example, you can earn about 1,500 experience points with one recanto, and over 3,000 with two chimeras. Metal type enemies do not appear, but their strength is that the enemy's durability is low and their turnover rate is high. It is possible to increase the level by 10 in 1 hour.

Optimal equipment and special skill composition

• Protagonist (Hero of Loto's blood): Equip Rose Whip. Specially effective against plant types, dealing nearly double damage.
• Prince Samartria: Repeats the Zaki spell. Half of the enemies are weak points.
• Prince of Loresia: Use Zaraki to aim for instant death.
• Princess Moonburg: Provides recovery support with Hoimi, and emphasizes durability until learning Behoimi.

The main skills are the main character's normal attack and the prince's Explosive Fist (after learning Majin's Explosive Fist). Prioritize learning Bagi Cross, Bekiragon, and Biquilt when leveling up.

Tips and precautions by difficulty level

• Easy mode: Optimal with 1.5x experience points. By turning on the no-death setting, there is no risk.
• Normal mode: Enemy attacks are painful, so collect power seeds in the lake cave to strengthen your stats.
• Notes: Always keep Alarm Fruit on hand to prevent enemy Rariho (sleep). If you level up too much, the boss will become too easy, so please adjust it as the story progresses. An alternative spot is the outer area of ​​the Flame Shrine (500-900 experience points), which can be accessed immediately via the Traveler's Door from Laura's Gate.

After reaching level 30 at this spot, move on to the next slime island. The entire party will be strengthened in a total of 20 minutes, making subsequent adventures much easier.

2. Standard mid-game: Optimize and hunt stray metal on Slime Island

The centerpiece of the leveling game is Slime Island, a solitary island south of Moonburg. Up to 4 stray metals will appear here at the same time, and you can earn up to 60,300 experience points (with 4 people) in one battle. It is best used at levels 35-45 after clearing the Tower of the Full Moon, and the Sword of Destruction and Explosive Fist combo is the key.
