History VideoGame / DragonQuestTreasures

** At the beginning of the game, you're given sidequests to defeat rival gangs a certain number of times, but the one for the Sylpha Seekers notes that they're friends and aren't inclined to attack you. The quest does say that maybe you can talk to someone to arrange a battle, but chatting with the Sylphanians won't do anything. What you really need to do is [[spoiler:complete Captain Levanter's "training" sidequests -- but as the highest-level one involves tracking down and defeating {{Bonus Boss}}es that randomly show up in dungeons from treasure maps, you're not likely to complete this until the postgame]].

* FallDamage: On the plus side, fall damage can never kill you, only reduce you to 1 HP. Just make sure there are no enemies around where you land. Riding on a monster with the "Sprint" skill will negate fall damage.

''Dragon Quest Treasures'' is an WideOpenSandbox SpinOff of the ''Franchise/DragonQuest'' series. The game features Erik and his sister, Mia, from ''VideoGame/DragonQuestXI'' [[SpinoffBabies as children]] living aboard a viking ship. It released December 9, 2022 for the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch.

* AscendedExtra: Mia, who goes from major NPC in ''Dragon Quest XI'' to co-starring with her brother in this game.

* BeefGate: The different islands have different level ranges, as do the subareas within these islands. As such, it's usually recommended that the Wingswept Moors is tackled first in a new game. It is possible to either sneak or rush past the higher levelled monsters but an underlevelled party can easily get [[ZergRush Zerg Rushed]] to death.

* ClassyCane: Gustav of the Thunderous Punderers has one, adding to his overall sophisticated image.

* MakingASplash: The Splish spell line from the ''Joker 3'' games, as well as Maelstrom, a recurring skill, and the Water Tower skill from ''Dragon Quest XI''.

* ALizardNamedLiz: Sometimes the random names assigned to recruited monsters are like this. Another example would be Shady the Shade and Shambles the Sham Hamwitch.

* BonusBoss:
** [[spoiler:Masquerading variants of the Hornbull, Proudmane, and Rimeblood bosses are available post-game via dowsing for treasure dungeon teleportals. These are souped-up versions of the story bosses with new attacks and gimmicks. They are required for Captain Levanter's final sidequest.]]
** [[spoiler:You can rematch Bonnie's team in the post-game (she's found east of the Forsaken Station in the Paternoggin).]]
** [[spoiler:Completing Gustav's sidequest will enable a rematch against Captain Silverbones, verging towards SuperBoss territory with how high-levelled he is this time around.]]

** [[spoiler:The Masquerading [[BonusBoss Bonus Bosses]] can only be found in treasure dungeons. Finding treasure dungeons in and of itself is random, depending on either gaining a map from defeating monsters or Dispatch Missions, or finding teleportals via dowsing for treasure. Even then, there's no guarantee that the boss of a given dungeon will be one of the bonus bosses or the bonus boss you haven't defeated yet. You can fight the same boss multiple times, and if luck isn't on your side, it'll take some time to complete Levanter's final sidequest.]]

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Shady and Shambles are always encountered together, even in battle.

* BareYourMidriff: Bonnie of the Thunderous Plunderers wears a crop top and shorts under a sleeveless long coat, which makes her look more like a delinquent than a traditional pirate.

** Mr. Euston, the Restless Armor in charge of the train station at Eggshell Island, is named after a train station in London, England. The other train stewards are named similarly.

While sneaking off one night in search of treasure, the siblings stumble across a pair of strange animals that the vikings had captured: a purple, bat-winged cat and a green, insect-winged pig. Taking pity on the animals, Erik and Mia free them. In turn, the animals lead them to the [[WorldInTheSky land of Draconia]], an archipelago of islands floating in the sky that are just brimming with treasure. The cat, named Purrsula, and the pig, named Porcus, are two budding gods and they request help from the siblings to find the seven [[MineralMacguffin Dragon Stones]] so that they may be granted full godhood. But they aren't alone in their hunt, as a multitude of [[SkyPirate sky pirates]] roam Draconia in pursuit of booty.

* MetalSlime: Metal Slimes, King Metal Slimes, Hardy Hands, and Gold Golems make their return, with the addition of the new Shiny Dragling. As well, the game introduces [[CrystallineCreature jeweled enemies]] like Jade Slimes, which drop crystal treasures when Pinched or defeated. [[spoiler:The rarest specimen is the Gold Goliath, which only appears in and can only be recruited from the post-game BonusDungeon.]]

** The two lieutenants of the Thunderous Plunderer, Bonnie and Gustav, are likely named after historical pirates. Bonnie might be named after Anne Bonny and Gustav might be named after Gustav Skytte.

** Admiral Mogsworth the Jailcat briefly accompanies you during the game's prologue. [[spoiler:Completing his sidequest chain makes him permanently recruitable.]]

* GuestStarPartyMember: [[spoiler:Whichever sibling you're not playing as will appear to assist you against Silverbones. This is the only time this happens.]]

* WorldInTheSky: Draconia is an archipelago of islands in the sky, formed from the segmented bodies of the two dragons, Padra and Madra.

* CosmeticAward: Completing Flag Quests and treasure categories rewards the player with different banners that can be displayed at the train stations.

* GoodAllAlong: Completing the sidequest to repair the Heartless Hunter that attacked Mia at the beginning of the game ([[spoiler:doing so requires talking to a Soggy Hand in the Wingswept Moors]]) reveals that the Heartless Hunter was only fulfilling its orders to protect Erik, much like how Mogsworth was to keep an eye on an unconscious Mia when she first landed in Draconia. It just didn't know that Mia wasn't a threat. Once repaired and having the situation explained to it, it registers Mia as a "safe" entity and becomes recruitable.

* GrimyWater: Certain areas, like Mount Greywing in the Wingswept Moors, contain poisonous purple swamps that [[DamageOverTime sap at your health]] so long as you're standing in it.
