As mentioned above, treasure can be found in just about every location in DQIII Remake. And it’s not just treasure chests, as treasure comes in many different forms. Treasure can be found in towns and cities, inside buildings and other structures, and throughout dungeons. Treasure can be found in the following forms:

  • Treasure Chests
  • Pots
  • Barrels
  • Hanging Pouches
  • Drawers, Cabinets, & Wardrobes
  • Bookshelves
  • Buried Treasure

In the Overworld, treasure can also be found in the

that can be seen dotting the landscape. However, these are not picked up by the spells that reveal and count treasure amounts.

Unlocking Thief Spells & Abilities:

Finding every treasure in Dragon Quest 3 Remake‘s towns and dungeons comes down to one vocation: the Thief. The Thief vocation features two skills that allow players to reveal how much treasure is in a location, and where that treasure can be found. These skills are:

  • Nose for Treasure – unlocked around level 12
  • Snoop – unlocked around level 20

We say a skill is unlocked
around
a specific level because spell and ability unlocks are not exact. Some players may unlock Nose for Treasure at level 12, others may unlock it at level 13. 12 and 20 are the average levels for Nose for Treasure and Snoop. Plan on reaching at least these levels before unlocking these skills.


How to Use Nose for Treasure in Dragon Quest 3 Remake:

DQ3-Nose-For-Treasure

Nose for Treasure is an incredibly useful ability, and works by telling you exactly how much treasure is located in your immediate vicinity. This means that only the tile you are presently occupying is covered. For example, using Nose for Treasure in a dungeon like DQIII Remake‘s Pyramid, will reveal all treasures on the level you are currently exploring. You’ll have to cast it again when you change levels.

When you are in a town, you will get results for everything outdoors in that town. If you enter a structure, you will have to cast it again to see the results.


Once you cast Nose for Treasure, an icon will show up on the main menu screen, and the map screen, that reveals how much treasure is left. If you leave a level, or exit a town, you’ll have to cast Nose for Treasure again if you return. However, this is a non-issue, as Nose for Treasure costs 0 MP to use.

Once you have collected every treasure on a specific tile, if you cast Nose for Treasure again, you’ll receive a message confirming there’s nothing left.

Exploration can be difficult with constant random encounters occurring in Dragon Quest 3 Remake; here’s how to avoid them.

How to Use Snoop in Dragon Quest 3 Remake:

DQ3-Snoop-Spell

Snoop is the only spell that Thieves will learn, and it takes your treasure hunting abilities to the next level. Snoop is not free, and will cost you 2 MP to use.


DQ3-Snoop-Sparkle

If treasure is nearby when you cast Snoop, you’ll get a chiming audio cue, and a sparkle will appear at the treasure location. Sometimes the treasure will be just out of sight, so make sure you check the mini-map if you hear the audio cue but don’t see the sparkle. A small icon will appear on the mini-map, but it is not permanent.

DQ3-Snoop-Mini-Map


The area that Snoop covers is not as large as Nose for Treasure, so if you know there is still treasure in your area, and Snoop is not revealing anything, move around and continue to cast the spell. Many of the locations in Dragon Quest 3 Remake have paths that can be very hard to spot, so pay close attention to the mini-map. If you are struggling to find that last treasure, make sure you go down every alley, and every passage.

Sometimes you’ll have to go through a building to get to an outdoor treasure. Unfortunately, once you go into a new location, the markings on the map will disappear, so you’ll likely have to cast Snoop again once you are back outside.
