How to Stop Being King or Queen in Dragon Quest 3 Remake

The hero of Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake has to go through many interesting challenges within the game. The Hero inadvertently becoming the monarch or queen of Romaria is among the first such instances in the game. Being the newly installed regent over a whole kingdom, the player may feel obligated to attend to some urgent matter. Surely the king would not relinquish his seat just to avoid something as trivial as social isolation? It seems that way, unfortunately. In that context, we will explain how players could lose their grip on the throne of Romaria in the remake of Dragon Quest 3.

Dragon Quest 3 Remake: How to Lose Your Royal Status

The Road to the Throne of Romaria:

From the start of Dragon Quest 3 Remake itself, the quest was to get the crown of King Romaria back from the clutches of famous bandit Robbin 'Ood. After completing your journey through Skyfell Tower, you shall have to return to Romaria and present the King's Crown to the King himself.

As the rather unusual reward for retrieving the crown, the King will make you the new regent of Romaria. You abruptly find yourself thrust into a position of power, and are not allowed to leave the city. Romaria is at your beck and call, but your party is nowhere to be seen. You really have little choice in what to do. The game does not offer any new tutorials on how to reverse matters after that.

Speaking with the NPCs out of the castle will let you know that the King of Romaria has most likely traveled to the Monster Arena. The arena can be found on the map by looking for the Slime icon. Find it south of the building containing the Weapon and Item shops. The stairs leading up to the Monster Arena are on the southern side of the building.

You can access the main lobby of Monster Arena by going down the stairs. The arena's seating area is accessible by a different stairway, which can be located after passing the bank and the information desk. Once you've climbed to the upper tier of the stairs, head left along the wall until you come to an elderly gentleman who's standing on the ledge above the arena. We got the King here.

Steps to abdicate the throne of Romaria:

When you go to speak with His Majesty, the King will ask you two questions:

First Question: What do you think about the throne? 

Response: That's incorrect.

Question 2: So, you're saying you'd rather not rule this great nation anymore? Yes, you will be taken back to the castle and stripped of your title as King or Queen the moment you answer the King's questions.

You have the option to return to the King of Romaria at any point during Dragon Quest 3 Remake and assume the role of King or Queen anew. The procedure for reclaiming the crown remains unchanged. At this time, there is no purpose for being Romaria's regent. It is merely a captivating circumstance.

We hope these steps help you, good luck until next time.
