Dragon Quest Treasures details online features

Square Enix is back with another round of details for Dragon Quest Treasures, this time covering the game’s online features. This comes ahead of the title’s launch later this week.

Here’s the full rundown:

With the release of Dragon Quest Treasures fast approaching, it’s time we told you about the game’s online features. You can connect with other real-world players and interact in a number of ways, from showing off your top treasures to searching for hidden loot. Treasure hunting is always more fun with friends.

Connect with Others via the Internet

Once Erik and Mia’s gang has grown sufficiently large, a mechanical diplomat known as AL4N will come and stay at their base. He grants access to the Gang Network, a hub for online features that players can use to interact with other gangs. Once you’ve connected to the internet, you’ll be able to hide treasure in Draconia, search for loot hidden by others, send your monsters out to show off your best treasures to other gangs, and likewise receive their monsters as guests.

When the gang’s rank is high enough, AL4N will come to the base and grant access to the Gang Network. The Gang Network lets you check other players’ profiles, and is a hub for fun mini games, such as Treasure Hunts and Treasure Tours.

To access the online features , simply link a Nintendo Account to the Nintendo Switch user and speak to AL4N. A subscription to Nintendo Switch Online is not required.

AL4N is an old friend of Mr Euston and an accomplished diplomat. He comes to the base after hearing about Erik and Mia’s achievements.

Online Feature 1 – Play Treasure Hunting Games with Friends!

Hide your treasure anywhere in Draconia, or download hidden treasure data uploaded by other users, and let the hunt begin.

Treasure can be hidden in a location of your choosing on any of Draconia’s islands! You can save up to three hiding places as favorite.

Other players can download your hidden treasure data. The more downloads you get, the more valuable the treasure will
become!

Successfully track down some hidden loot to receive a replica of it!

Your monsters will inform you when another player’s treasure is hidden nearby. Look out for a blue chest inside a speech bubble.

Replicas don’t add to the value of your treasure vault, but they can be sold for money. Rare replica treasures command a high price!

Online Feature 2 – Send Your Monsters to Your Friends’ Bases!

You can send your monsters off to visit other players’ bases, where they’ll show off one of your treasures. Likewise, you can welcome monsters from other gangs to your base and give likes to the treasures they show you.

When a visiting monster shows you their treasure, it’s up to you to give it the likes it deserves before the timer runs out!

Monsters from gangs around the world can come to visit you! If you know a friend’s Gang ID and their secret password, you can invite their monsters to come to your base.

When other players like the treasure your monsters show them, its value will go up!

Visiting monsters will take their treasure with them when they leave, but you’ll receive a replica of it as a memento!
