From Hiccup’s heartwarming friendship with the feared dragon Toothless in How To Train Your Dragon to Hogarth’s unlikely comradeship with the towering Iron Giant, the desire to tame and befriend monsters has always captivated us all. Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince fulfils our wishes, casting us in the role of a Monster Wrangler who captures and trains monsters. However, while the game’s world and your party is full of small monsters, many gamers find themselves wondering if there’s any way to turn them into large monsters. Let’s find out!
How To Create Large Monsters In The Dark Prince?
You can create large (L) monsters by synthesizing the small (S) monster with another L monster. The S monster, however, will need to be “big” enough in appearance to result in a successful S to L synthesis.
To put it simply, when selecting an S monster for transformation into an L size, it’s crucial that the monster is considerably larger than its usual size. If this condition isn’t met, the synthesis will merely yield another S-size monster.
This can be a difficult task as these plus-sized S monsters aren’t the most common sight in the world of The Dark Prince. However, if you synthesize your S monster with other S monsters that are larger in size, it will progressively increase in size.
As suggested by u/HazmyHD in his Reddit post on r/dragonquest, the best monster to synthesize your S monster with to increase its size is the Bongo Drongo. These green-skinned djinn typically tend to be bigger than the other S monsters, making them an excellent choice for increasing the size of your S monster.
However, to make sure that your S monster reaches the Huge size, you’ll need to perform several synthesis with Bongo Drongos and employ a good deal of save scumming to be successful. This is due to the fact that the size increase achieved through synthesis is a random process and can take anywhere from 3 to 30 attempts to get right.
Now, we understand that this can be a rather time-consuming process. If you’re seeking alternative methods to get your hands on an L monster, rest assured, there are indeed several other ways to do so!
How To Get Large Monsters In The Dark Prince?
Locating an L monster in the wild can often feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. However, there are a couple of ways that can greatly improve your likelihood of acquiring one:
- Scout for monsters. Although it’s not guaranteed that you’ll find a Large monster during your initial scouting attempts, these elusive creatures can indeed be discovered in the wild.
- Find monster eggs. As you advance in the game, you’ll begin to encounter monster eggs in the overworld. These eggs, while rare, have the potential to contain Large monsters.
- Get The Mole Hole DLC. This DLC can simplify the process of scouting for Large monsters, as it features size-specific levels, allowing you to scout for Large monsters directly in the Large level.
Final Thoughts
Apart from being visually impressive, Large monsters also possess enhanced stats and abilities, making them a must-have for every Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince player. Thankfully, there are a number of ways to get your hands on one. If you know of any other method not discussed in this article, do share it in the comments below!
