Although there are many dungeons that you must explore during your journey, some are optional content that you can skip. However, if there is one area you must visit in Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, it is the Tower of Transcendence dungeon. You can find this location north of Alltrades Abbey. Although not connected to any story quest, this area contains treasure chests and important items. Unfortunately, this dungeon is confusing due to its multiple floors and teleportation circles.
How To Complete Tower of Transcendence Dungeon in Dragon Quest 3 Remake
There are several teleportation circles that you can use in Dragon Quest 3 Remake‘s Tower of Transcendence dungeon. If you want to enter the closest portal near the entrance, you’ll be taken to an isolated chamber where you can meet with an old man. There’s nothing interesting here, so you should just skip it.
I suggest climbing up the southwestern stairs first so you can find a Catula monster. If you go up and reach the third floor, you can find a chest containing one Dieamend. This item can protect its holder from a deadly strike once.
If you want to go up, you need to climb up the northwestern stairs. After walking through a tightrope, you can pass through a portal that will lead you to three staircases on the first floor. The north and south stairs will bring you to dead ends with treasure chests, while the center staircase will take you up.
Keep climbing up the Tower of Transcendence until you find a second tightrope. This one will have a red flag in the middle. I suggest continuing to go up so you can grab another treasure chest on the highest floor. After claiming the Hermes Hat, you can return to the tightrope.
You must now jump down the rope to land in another area. After jumping into the hole in the roof, you can continue to head down until you reach the second floor. On the eastern side, you can find a treasure chest that contains Words of Wisdom. This is the key item required to turn a party member into a Sage class.
