Most people take this time to explore the bedroom for a minute. While there is not much to look at, it’s an instinctive habit to explore the first area you see.

Once you leave the bedroom, you immediately encounter the group of Vikings that took Eric and Mia under their wing. However, the Vikings start to give Erik a hard time. They lay into you, make fun of you, and downright insult you for seemingly no reason.

The new people or creatures you come across in a new area hold the potential to direct you where you need to go. Even if you’re able to’t get any clues from speaking with someone, you can certainly learn more about the world around you.

When Mia and Erik are separated, Mia is left by herself to find her brother. After wandering around the island a little bit, she is met with a pink slime-like creature. This introductory character is named Oozabella, who requests your help to find their missing treasure.
Oozabella may be round and pink, but there is an unsettling quality to them that makes it hard for you to feel comfortable around them. It is most likely the vacant stare they give you, regardless of what is going on around them.

2Using Treasure Vision And Still Getting Lost
When you initially meet Oozabella, they enlist you to help them find their missing treasure. To do this, you are given the ability to use Treasure Vision, which will indicate where the missing object is.
However, there can be a bit of a learning curve to using Treasure Vision. While it indicates where the buried object is, it can still be hard to locate the treasure if you are not familiar with your surroundings. Once you master the terrain, Treasure Vision is a lot easier to use.
1Resting At Every Campfire
In Dragon Quest Treasures, you can save your data by resting near a campfire. This allows either Erik or Mia to recover while your game is being saved. Saving is optional, but it is also highly recommended, especially if you fear you might lose against the opponent or boss that is just around the corner.
Even if you have no particular reason, you may find yourself constantly resting at campfires. It is much better to be safe than sorry, no matter the situation.
