Recommended Videos

Much like previous Dragon Quest games, Dragon Quest XI features plenty of useful items that can be found throughout the game’s world and used for things like crafting. One of those things you’ll come across is shiny spots. Here’s everything you need to know about how to find shiny spots in Dragon Quest XI and what they do.

Shiny shots are simply little blue items that you’ll come across as you explore the game’s world. They’re quite bright and shiny, so they shouldn’t be too difficult to spot, but you can press the Square button to bring up the game’s map and look for them there.

Once you’ve done so, select the map menu, and then the shiny spots option. You’ll then be able to see every shiny spot displayed on your map so that you can head out to hunt for them, or simply know where they are when you need them. They are used for crafting in the game, so be sure to pick them up when you come across them.

That’s everything you need to know about how to find shiny spots in Dragon Quest XI. For more tips and tricks on the game, be sure to check out our ever-expanding wiki guide.
