5 Most Helpful Tips For Dragon Quest XI On Nintendo Switch

[@gtc1554]

So glad you told me to watch this video! Thank you for always being nice at the store and hooking it up with good games! Starting my second dragon quest adventure with the copy I got from you today!

[@garretthall9508]

Nice to get tips that weren’t on any list and were character specific in certain cases. Knowing some of the best moves of things to work towards is helpful, and the charm tip I haven’t heard from anyone else. Ty!

[@Elyssandariel]

Thank you so much for these tips!! Actually useful advice from someone who actually played it and not just "Hold ZR to run hurr hurr" like so many other videos are doing! I will definitely stack charm and use Sylvando from now on. Thanks for the squidzilla tip too.

[@expsharevideogames]

Thank you! I'm glad they were helpful! These were pretty much all the things I learned while playing the game that helped me out the most and that weren't obvious just from playing the game. I really appreciate your nice comment and hopefully I can make another video you enjoy too when I eventually get around to making more :)

[@heathermoran6134]

Wait, you can hold ZR to run faster?

[@RW77777777]

carry healing items on your non-healing characters it doesn't have to do much; but it'll be enough to get your main healer back online if they get disabled, you can also carry status clearing items for sleep, paralysis, and defend if you think your healer isn't going to get a turn before more damage is coming

[@marcosmoen1386]

Very informative sir. I waded through several shallow tip videos before finding yours. I wanted tips from someone who has spent dozens of hours playing the game and the things you talk about are very different and insightful. You earned my subscription.

[@Dmoon1234]

Wow. Those were really unique and helpful. I’ve been struggling with some post game bosses. Thanks man!

[@df8152]

I just got this game for my birthday so I'm dying to get into it and this is exactly the kind of video I was hoping for. Thank you for no spoilers and for not showing anything in the actual game because I have no idea what anything is, what anything is called or what anything looks like and I wanted to keep that a surprise for myself. Great video, you've earned a sub! :) Keep up the gaming content!

[@expsharevideogames]

Thank you for the encouragement :) I'm glad the video seemed helpful! I just tried to make the kind of video I wished I could have found before starting the game haha

[@ninjasrule]

These were ACTUALLY helpful OMG.

[@expsharevideogames]

That's great to hear :) I tried to give the tips that I would have liked to have known going into the game myself and not just cover the same things I had seen other videos already talking about. Hopefully I can keep making helpful videos. Let me know what you think of the game!

[@ninjasrule]

@@expsharevideogames that's really good! Cuz I've read all the guides, it's all the same generic advice 'use the forge' etc. Would love more tips like yours, beyond the 5 you already posted. By the way, by making them your main healer, on auto would be 'focus on healing'? Or manually choosing the healing spells under 'follow orders'?

[@expsharevideogames]

You could try setting them to "Focus on healing" and see how it works out. I always just set everyone to "follow orders" because I wanted to make sure they used the right moves. I wanted to be sure Sylvando specifically used Hustle Dance for example. Try setting it to focus on healing and let me know how it goes!Just stack that Charm stat!

[@ninjasrule]

@@expsharevideogames one last question! Sorry haha this is my first dragon quest, how do increase their charm stat? Is there where I use skill seeds ? Thanks so much!

[@expsharevideogames]

No problem at all! Yes you can use skill seeds, but the main method will be through gear. Equip him with gear (armor, weapons, head pieces, accessories) that has a high charm stat

[@deadman5267]

Legit these are the sort of tips we need more of

[@leianhchannel8526]

I love this video, thank you so much. I love the way you explain without any game footage

[@mesacboy7939]

I just started this game yesterday and I regret not heeding your spoiler warning! That would've been such a cool twist haha, but curiosity killed the cat, only myself to blame. Thanks for the tips, I'm sure they'll come in handy later on!

[@sortahungry8217]

Dude thank you this helped a ton. I’m new to this game so I appreciate it.

[@MelloKingMal05]

Very grateful for the tips man! I was just wondering which path should I put the 8th party member on..

[@rockwthu]

I'm only 10 hours in right now so I'm very happy I found this video! thank you

[@expsharevideogames]

I hope it really helps!

[@supersaiyaman11589]

i completed the game once i am going back threw it .i never got the parties ultimate weapons or did slime grinding the first time. i am also going tp change my main character to swards once i get duel wield for him.

[@thatsithlord9906]

Just got it today on switch this will help alot!

[@expsharevideogames]

Heck yeah! I hope it really does help you a lot.

[@certifiedtrashcan2310]

Some other tips I think some people would find useful if they see this. If you have any seeds or pep pops in act 1 make your pary members hold them befor entertaining araboria (trust me its gonna help) Invest in Eriks critical claim ability when it is unlocked this makes metal slime hunting easier Insula oriales is an island far east of the map thats accessible via boat that has a higher chance to spawn metal slimes on all enemies on the island and liquid metal slimes spawn with king slimes. Metal king slimes will spawn when the luminary reaches lvl 70 Use the sword of light as an item in the post game final boss it makes it easier When luminary, Jade, and sylvando are pepped up you can use a pep power call electro light which has about a 2/3 chance to replace all enimies in battle with metal slimes. All charecters have a pannel that provides 10 extra skill points in when you get their corresponding pannel. (Ex: Erik Deftness +20) Do side quests because the rewards really do help. Similarly to sidequest, tockington provides a lot of good rewards

[@certifiedtrashcan2310]

This is probably the most ive spent writing a comment lol

[@expsharevideogames]

@@certifiedtrashcan2310 All great tips! I didn't go into metal slime farming in the video because at the time I made the video I had found several other video guides on how to do it already on KZbin

[@Magnus_Strand84]

This is solid advice

[@keroppiix]

Sylvando actually SLAPS with his magical mending and offensive power.

amazing, just one think. I'm not an english speaker, so I didn't get everything. If you might to use an image to support what are u saying, it would be really helpful.

[@derekae8105]

Jade’s spear skills scale with charm as well? Or is that strength? I don’t have much invested in her charm tree (yet)

[@jaimereupert4247]

Thanks for the info. 😊

[@Alrek1245]

Great tips! Any similar RPGs you would recommend?

[@expsharevideogames]

Glad you liked the tips and thank you so much for the comment! You looking just for games on the Switch or other platforms as well? Artistically I think the new/upcoming Trials of Mana Remake on the Switch looks pretty similar to DQ11, but combat-wise it looks very different

[@Alrek1245]

The Experience Share , I’m mostly looking for Switch games; but I could try PC. Maybe you could do a video with your favorite RPGs.

[@VGPorage]

@@Alrek1245 You have Bravely Default 2 comming out in February

[@Kris95x]

Are we really sure that both Jade and Sylvando gets stronger with Charm stat?

[@expsharevideogames]

Yes. 100% positive

[@KhaiNguyen-ru7lk]

Correct Jade's Sexy Beam, Femme Fatale and what not is very good Sylvando has many abilities that I forget the names of that work with Charm Also they are more likely to be targeted with higher charm or something

[@karasutsuki1733]

Lots of people find the vanillagame too easy and quickly overlevelled and what not, so I thought bout using the Draconian Quest difficulties instead. The Reduced Xp and harder enemies in particular. Do u think it rly is too easy? Would the superstrong enemies make it too hard?

[@expsharevideogames]

I don't really think it's too easy; It's just that it is extremely simple. The draconian rules may help. I'll hopefully try them eventually. Let me know how you feel about them if you try it

[@karasutsuki1733]

@@expsharevideogames I went with both superstrong and no xp on weak enemies, but ended up turning the superstrong off, cuz fights take ages

[@omensoffate]

@@karasutsuki1733 full draconian all the way

[@RW77777777]

you can overlevel in Draconian as well I was lvl 47 doing the Tentacular boss, killed it in 1 round

[@pikminfanclub]

So are you basically saying that Serena isn´t that useful? I just got Sylvando to the group and I wanted to know what you said at the beginning of your video? I wanted to try him out but I just feel so comfortable with having Serena as a healer since no one else can do it as good as her, unless Sylvando really is that good? Great video though, thanks for the information :D

[@expsharevideogames]

Serena is a great healer! She is probably the best healer late game, but Sylvando is definitely the best healer before that. It has been a while since I played so I don't quite remember at what point she starts to overtake him as the best healer, but I don't think it's until some point during the post-game

[@expsharevideogames]

I know once she learns the Multiheal ability she becomes much more essential

[@pikminfanclub]

@@expsharevideogames oh okay, I´ll give sylvando a try tho! I just noticed that his healing ability takes A LOT of MP and I saw that he doesn´t have that much MP to begin with, so I am surprised how you guys can use him instead of Serena

[@expsharevideogames]

@@pikminfanclub He basically heals your entire party back up to full health in just one move

[@VGPorage]

Serena also the only character with kabuff in early game and has her elemental shields through her hymns so don't disregard her completely even though Sylvando also can heal

[@jhonrock2386]

Negative status effects are, by far, THE MOST abused mechanic in this game. EVERY SINGLE BOSS (and almost all non-boss enemies) in this game have its AI behavior pattern coded to screw your party with some or a bunch of negative status effects. And there is no ribbon-like (FF7) item here.

[@CellLeMagnifique]

?? For real sylvando isn't a good healer, sylvando is OK tier on each points but Serena or Théobert are better as healing, the better choice on sylvando is to use 2 blades/dps or use him as an offtank, he can protect his allies with an ability

[@expsharevideogames]

Sylvando has a full party heal that heals the entire party to full health. He gets this healing ability very early in the game and it remains just as strong for a vast portion of the game. Serena doesn't catch up to his ability until much later in the game and then she becomes the strongest healer. If you don't know that Sylvando is the best healer in the game for at least 50% of the game (almost 100% of the game if you aren't playing the post game) then it is only because you haven't tried playing him the way I talk about in the video. It is literally impossible for Serena to be a better healer than 100% health to the entire party. She doesn't get a move like that until much later in the game

[@CellLeMagnifique]

@@expsharevideogames yeah you right but we need to see the characteristics too, by characteristics I mean strength, health, agility ect, and Sylvando is basically OK tier on each one's but not better than another character, Eric and Jade are better as dps, Endrick as tanking, Veronica as magical damages and Serena's magical heal (on characteristics) are hugest, Sylvando can't hold a wand too, I am really bad as English language man sorry for that, I can link you the videos I see about that difference if you ask for btw

[@omensoffate]

@@CellLeMagnifique yea sorry but full draconian sylvando is the buffer early game healer. You don’t use him for dps

little suggestion: show images/clip of the game while you are talking. it makes the video much more entertaining.
