Monster Meadows: Difference between revisions

The '''Monster Meadows''' is a side quest in the game ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]'', focusing on building up a nature preserve of sorts for a wide variety of monster species to live in.

When the player enters the monster park, they see a house. Inside the house lives the Monster Guru. The monster guru's dream is to create a place where people can come from all over the world to view monsters in their natural habitat, and enlists the party to help him fulfill the plan.

'''NOTE:''' If a monster is recruited but the plan for it's habitat has not been obtained, the monster will relocate to the Meadows immediately once the proper habitat is constructed. Once a monster is recruited it cannot be lost unless released by the player.   

Having a party member who currently is a [[Monster Master|Monster Masher]] will help by using the [[Animal Magnetism]] skill. It increases the likelihood that a monster can be tamed based on the rank the character has in the vocation, and the character '''must''' be a monster masher for the skill to work. Using Monster Munchies will also increase the likelihood that a tamed monster will appear.

In the beginning, the monster park will have only three areas: a grassy plain, a storage area for extra monsters, and the guru's house. However, during the course of the game, the player will come across plans for additional '''enclosures''' (originally called '''BluePrint'''). These blueprints will allow the monster guru to build new areas for different monsters. There are nine plans in the game:

*'''Graveyard:''' Highendreigh Tower in the present, defeat the [[King Slime]].

*'''Highlands:''' Mount Gora  in the past; First cave -> East exit outside -> Up ladder -> Up ladder -> Up Western ladder -> Enter cave -> East exit outside for chest.

*'''Mountains:''' [[Aeolus Vale]] in the past, barrel next to the Praetor's house.

*'''Seaside:''' Pool of Piety in the past or present.

*'''Tropics:''' [[Sharkeye|Sharkeye's]] ship in the present, in treasure chest on first floor. near the garden.

*'''Blueprints showing a proposed place for monsters to call home.''' (Description when selecting the an Enclosure Plan in [[Nintendo 3DS]] ''Dragon Quest VII''.)

After the player collects all monsters for the monster park, the monster guru will thank you. He will give the party a Memento of [[Wiggles]]. The real reward for completing the quest is having a rare chance to speak with such a wide variety of monsters, and to see how such creatures would behave in a real life biome.
