Break Down and Harvest Whatever You Can
Of course, that isn’t to say you shouldn’t try to break down and harvest whatever you come across while you explore each new portion of Dragon Quest Builders 2’s world.
From metals and minerals to fantastical food stuffs, almost everything in the game can be broken down and added to your inventory, and used at a later time on its own or in tandem with something else.
To that end, you’ll want to collect everything you come across, at least after you’ve gained access to the Bag equipment item and can store items and materials freely.
This includes blocks of earth, cotton plants, demonic statues and everything else that’ll buckle after a few blows from your builder’s mallet.
Doing so will reduce the chances that you’ll encounter a recipe or item you can’t complete because you’re missing the necessary materials.
Likewise, it’ll help encourage you to craft and mold the world to your liking.
Sure, it’s beautifully designed and captures the look and feel of a Dragon Quest game to a tee, but making the world more accessible and easy to navigate, all while you amass a stockpile of supplies, will make the game that much more enjoyable overall.
