Monster Medal: Difference between revisions

Obtaining Medals from boss {{MFamilies}}s is impossible by normal means as most bosses are only fought once. However, many boss {{MFamilies}}s appear as wandering {{MFamilies}}s in the 2 [[Bonus Dungeons]], allowing the Medals to be collected. Other Boss Medals are obtained via wishes from [[Xenlon]].

Medals are only useful in the second bonus dungeon. They are used to determine if the player is able to continue to deeper floors of the dungeon. In order to proceed to the 2nd basement, the player must have a Bronze Medal for all available {{MFamilies}}s up to that point. On the 2nd basement, 8 new {{MFamilies}}s exist. Silver Medals for all available monsters, including these new 8 monsters must be obtained prior to being given access to the 3rd basement. On the 3rd basement, the player is able to battle [[Gran Dragon]], the final boss and most powerful enemy in the game.

A complete set of Monster Medals for {{Dragon Quest IV}} also exists on the {{Dragon Quest III}} game pak. This set of medals is only viewable using some sort of cheating device. It is hypothesized that {{Dragon Quest IV}} was originally intended to be included on the game pak as was done with {{DQI&II}}. However, at some point these plans were changed, but the set of Medals was left hidden on the game's rom. {{Dragon Quest IV}} would later be remade on the [[Nintendo DS]]. However, no Monster Medal system would be included in the game.
