Metal Slimes are an iconic variant of Slimes in The Dark Prince, and they are adorable creatures despite their gray color. If you're looking for one to join your party, keep reading as I walk you through how you can catch Metal Slimes in Dragon Quest Monsters The Dark Prince.
How to scout Metal Slimes in The Dark Prince
Metal Slimes are "slimy" even in the field; they quickly try to run away from you before you can even battle them. Once you engage them in battle, all they do is attack for a few turns, then quickly flee before you can even scout them to join your party. They also have a trait that cuts DMG by 1/3 and an insane high defense, so physical attacks rarely work.
Here are a few tips if you want to have a Metal Slime in your party:
- You need a monster in your party with the metal beater trait (like Sugarstar Slime). This trait essentially helps you pierce through the tough defenses of the Metal Slime, allowing you to lower its HP enough for your scout rate to increase massively.
- Use Monster Munchies to increase the likelihood of a Metal Slime joining your party.
By the way, if you find enough Mini Medals as you play through the game, you'll get the entire Metal Slime Line for free! You'll need 10 Mini Medals to get a standard Metal Slime, 30 for a Liquid Metal Slime, and 50 for a Metal Slime King.
Are Metal Slimes good in The Dark Prince?
You'll benefit more from Metal Slimes if you farm them for XP purposes instead of capturing them to join your party. Since you'll be able to get all three kinds of Metal Slimes from Mini Medals, anything you encounter in the wilderness should be eliminated so you can quickly level up your party to take on tougher challenges like hidden bosses.
If you really want a Metal Slime in your party, they have really low HP, and their defense buff doesn't necessarily help you when you're dealing with S-tier monsters. Metal Slimes are lackluster in general in The Dark Prince, and I recommend you beat them up as soon as you see one in the wild and don't bother scouting them.
