How to Get the Paragon Personality in Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake

My absolute favorite among the game’s wide array, the Paragon personality can be seen as the perfect choice for those looking to get a huge boost in strength and one-shot enemies no matter their game stage in Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake.

But how can you get the personality at the start of the game? And for those looking to battle with a Paragon duo, is it possible to switch to it later on or get a party member with it? Here are all the ways to get the Paragon Personality in Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake.

How to Get the Paragon Personality at the Start of Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake

You can get the Paragorn personality at the start of your journey in Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake by completing the Monster Personality Test without killing more than 2 NPCs. You can unlock the test by answering the questions asked by the goddess in the following way:

• Question #1: Do you believe that victory can be won in the field of battle? Yes
• Question #2: Do you prefer spells and sorcery to swords and sweat? No
• Question #3: Do you find the company of unfamiliar people tiresome? No
• Question #4: Are you able to prevent failure from preying upon your mind? Yes
• Question #5: Do you find yourself unable to argue with others, even if you disagree with them strongly? No
• Question #6: Do you enjoy physical pursuits? Yes
• Question #7: Can even the most minor of matters irritate you? No
• Question #8: Do you believe that a promise, once made, can under no circumstances be broken? Yes (Answering this question or the one below in any other way will lock you out of the Personality Test)
• Question #9: Do you believe in a power higher than that of man? Yes

Although it is possible to unlock the test by following a path different from the one above, I recommend that you restart your playthrough until your first question matches ours. Apart from that, all the following inquiries will be directly related to your previous answer. Differently from the Vamp and like the Tough Cookie personality, Paragon is not gender locked.

How to Complete the Monster Personality Test

After answering the questions as shown above and starting the Monster Personality Test on DQ 3, you can complete it without killing more than a single NPC by avoiding the dog and then making your way down the main path. Keep in mind that it is impossible to complete the test without torching the villager by the well.

How to Switch a Personality to Paragon in Dragon Quest 3

If you fail to get the personality at the beginning or just want to turn a party member into a Paragon, you will be able to do so by either using The Champion’s Code book or equipping the Mighty Armlet. Keep in mind that equipping the item will only change your chosen character’s personality when they are wearing it. When creating a party member on the second floor of Patty’s Party Planning Place, using five Seeds of Strength will allow them to come with the Paragon personality, although whether or not they will get it will still be up to chance.
