There are a total of 110 Mini Medals in Dragon Quest 3, and they can be found in any order. While many are located in large settlements or dungeons, some can be found dotted around the world in secret spots. It’s worth fully exploring every location you come across to make sure that you don’t leave anything behind.
One way to make this easier is by enlisting the help of a Thief as part of your party. They have abilities such as Nose for Treasure, which will list the number of valuable items remaining to be found in any location, or Snoop, which adds a sparkle effect to nearby treasure that has yet to be picked up.

To exchange your discovered Mini Medals for rewards, you’ll need to take a dive down the well in the southeastern corner of Aliahan. Down there, you’ll find the Mini Medal Manor, where you can exchange your found Mini Medals for rewards that can be used to increase the power of yourself or your party.

Rather than throw all 110 locations where Mini Medals can be found at you in one long list, which is guaranteed to feel overwhelming for even the most seasoned adventurer, I’m going to split the Mini Medals into groups of 10. This way, you can focus on one list before moving on to the next, allowing you a higher chance of gathering every Mini Medal in DQ3 and getting your hands on all of the sweet rewards on offer.
