Rei7 Clears the S Class in Dragon Quest Monsters After Eight Hours of Breeding and Farming

NIJISANJI — Rei7 cleared the S class in Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry’s Wonderland RETRO on Wednesday, more than eight hours into the fifth installment of the playthrough. The win came after an evening of breeding, catching and level-grinding aimed at a single goal, and the streamer thanked the monsters on the team as the battle ended.

Rei7 opened the stream by saying it had been a long time since the last session and that the party had been beaten by the S class the time before. The plan was to get every monster’s HP into the 200s and to fill out the monster library. Passing the 100-monster mark unlocked a library that held breeding information, and Rei7 spent stretches of the night copying notes into the video description. Around the four-and-a-half-hour mark Rei7 named beating the S class as the day’s goal, and some hours later, with the clock past 11 p.m., admitted that reaching it that night looked harder than expected.

“S class cleared. Thank you, everyone.” — Rei7, after the winning battle

The team that finally got there leaned on Zaraki, an instant-death spell, together with paralysis and sleep attacks and a pair of healers. Rei7 had tried to teach the spell to every member and found it less dependable against some enemies, but a monster named Momo learned it late in the night and Rei7 said the S class was “right around the corner.” In the deciding fight Rei7 kept the team healed, paralyzed the opponents and waited for Zaraki to land, saying one hit from it was enough. The opposing side’s Hagure Metal kept dodging a Metal Slash skill Rei7 had set aside a slot for, but the team won anyway.

Afterward the king of the game’s kingdom named the team its representative. Rei7 said that before the fight the S class had looked like the end of the game, and was glad there was more to play. The rest of the stream went to the next area, where Rei7 met Terry, the game’s title character, was overwhelmed and went back to grinding levels. Rei7 closed by saying the next goal was to take him on. Chat answered the win with cheers, and two Super Chats came in during the stream.
