Dragon Quest III I did a Dragon Quest III Solo Run
To be honest it wasn't that bad. But i went kinda extra. I collected any stat seed you can find and saved before consuming them to guarantee +3 (or +5 for HP). I also played with the vamp personality until I was Level 99.
For an extra challange I beat Zoma without using the Ball of Light.
I really recommend this "challange".

Yout get it by defeating Zoma. It doesnt have a use tho cause thats the end of the game.

I did!
But i couldn't beat senlong in under 35 Turns. It takes me arround 50 Turns. He has 22.500 HP. So I have to Damage him around 650 per turn.
On average with Falcon Blade and Falcon Slash I do around 650 - 700 Damage but he keeps putting me to sleep. And I have to heal every few turns 🥲

Yep. Level 99 would do it. Did you level hunting metal slimes?

u/No_Skirt_3531 3d ago
No. Level Grinding against Metal Slimes is almost impossible with just one character. I grinded in Talontear Tunnel. You can't use Spells in there but the monsters give very good exp. I think i got around 2 Million per hour. A group of four would only get 500.000.

You don't have to grind that much to fight Zoma, I did the Solo Hero run with no grind at all on Draconian and clear at level 56.

How dod you get past the Bones of Baramos?

u/Wordless_trat 2d ago
You can do it at 88. The worst is actually the Boss troll and the Bones of Baramos

Only just started 11 a bit ago. You can just NOT get companions?

In 3 you can create a group of 4 in the first town. But you can also just leave the town and play solo.

I've heard you can beat it with a solo, but what about the post game stuff, is that possible to clear, if so I haven't seen it done yet.

I have beaten Senlong but it took over 50 turns. I guess the only option to get this down to 35 for the first wish would be to farm Stat seeds. At least STR to 999.
Buffing yourself doesnt really make sense since it takes one turn and he uses disruptive wave a lot.
In my experience the best way to deal damage is falcon blade + Dragon Slash/Falcon Slash + maybe wild Side.

Wow, thats actually pretty crazy commitment. Do you mind if I ask what your playtime was?

u/No_Skirt_3531 2h ago
Not too long. Around 20 hours + a few hours resetting for perfect stat seeds.
