Discover all 40 Mini Medal locations in Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake. Learn where to find them and what powerful rewards you can exchange them for.

Mini Medals are elusive tokens that can be found in chests, pots, barrels, secret areas, and as hidden treasures throughout Dragon Quest I. There are a total of 40 Mini Medals to collect.

Where to Find Mini Medals:

You can find Mini Medals in various locations, including chests, pots, and barrels. Spells and abilities like Nose for Treasure and Snoop can help you detect nearby treasure. Some Mini Medals are located in Secret Areas or are hidden, and some Secret Areas only become accessible late in the game.

How to Exchange Mini Medals for Prizes:

Mini Medals can be found as early as your first proper dungeon, but they can only be exchanged for rewards mid-game. You'll need to progress the story until you can travel to the southwestern edge of the world map to find the Citadel of the Monarch of Medals. Speak to the Monarch of Medals inside to exchange your collected Mini Medals for prizes based on the cumulative total you have.
