As players go through Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past, they may meet disguised monsters who want to live peaceful lives or battle monsters that want to be friends with them. After a certain point in the game, a The Haven settlement will open, where these creatures you’ve met will gather. Each one you find will give you a traveler’s tablet. Monster Meadows is another friendly monster home, where creatures attracted by any monster munchies you have in your inventory may go after being defeated. When you head to Monster Meadows, you can send one leader monster and two helper monsters into a specific cave to retrieve a traveler’s tablet.  These tablets can then be used to enter randomly generated dungeons.

The traveler’s tablets given to you by monsters can be shared. If you StreetPass someone sharing a tablet, it will appear in the Monster Meadows cave. You can then send a trio of monsters in to claim it. The Haven’s Download Bar also will also have traveler’s tablets shared online. Going through one of these random dungeons and sharing them with a monster via StreetPass will help level up that creature.

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past will come to the Nintendo 3DS on September 16, 2016.
