Dragon Quest Monsters: Prince of Darkness
DQM: Prince of Darkness takes an interesting twist as it tells the story of notorious adversary Psaro, who plays the powerful monster Wrangler. Psaro’s dilemma lies in his curse that prevents him from harming any monsters, forcing him to gather a team of allies to fight for him. Central to the gameplay of DQM: Prince of Darkness is the art of monster combat, with players immersed in the process of capturing and commanding these creatures.
Developed by Square Enix and Tose, this role-playing video game launches on Nintendo Switch on December 1, 2023, introducing a unique premise in the Dragon Quest Monsters series. Players will embark on a journey through Psaro, delving into the complex mechanics of scouting, taming, and harnessing an array of monsters as allies. As Psaro’s story unfolds, the game intricately intertwines challenge and strategic aspects, assembling a powerful team to conquer battles on his behalf.
How to Unlock Dragon Quest Monsters: Prince of Darkness Synthesis
To unlock Synthesis in the game, players need to advance through the storyline. Psaro is a novice monster wrangler who players will guide through his training and reputation. The first test arrived at the Colosseum of Endor, where two games awaited. Group G games are played first, with three games against different Wranglers; having a full home team at level 5 or higher increases your chances of winning. Once Category G is conquered, Category F will open, challenging players with more powerful monsters (including powerful large monsters). Win this game to team up with the elf Lolth and explore new areas.
The Road to the Synthesis will continue following story missions until you reach Nadiria, where the third tournament of the Mausoleum awaits. Players must clear the Class G Arena here to enter Synthesis, marking an important milestone in their monster battle journey.

Dragon Quest Monster Gameplay
In Dragon Quest Monsters, the gameplay is very different from the main Dragon Quest game. Here, instead of fighting on your own, you collect and command monsters to fight on your behalf. These monsters gain experience points, just like human characters in the main game, and they can learn spells and skills.
Combat is turn-based and initially played from a first-person perspective, but later versions have made combat more dynamic and three-dimensional. You control a team of up to three monsters, managing their health and magic points on the screen. During combat, you can guide monsters by suggesting actions, such as using powerful attacks, defensive moves, or support abilities.
Monsters’ behavior is also affected by their personalities, which can be shaped based on your commands during combat. Additionally, capturing monsters and raising new ones is an important part of the game, giving you the opportunity to create unique and more powerful creatures by combining or fusing them together.
