Draconian Quest

A Draconian Quest is an optional in-game feature in Dragon Quest XI. There are 8 Draconian Quests in total, and they all add restrictions to the core gameplay that makes the adventure considerably or significantly harder. A Draconian Quests are available from the start of the game, however trying a Draconian Quest on a first playthrough is not recommended. Completeing a Draconian Quest earns the player a start next to their save file.
