Hi everyone, a few years ago, Enix rereleased Dragon Quest 3 (Dragon 
Warrior 3 over in the US) a few years ago for the Super Famicom, and 
since it has been 4 years since it came out, I really doubt it will 
see the light of day over in the US.  So, I decided to translate what 
I could of the game to make it as English as I could.  This is the 
result.  Enjoy! 
     Please note that my item and equipment lists are far from 
complete, as I have not tried to equip every weapon, armor, shield, 
helmet, and decoration on every class of character there is in the 
game.  So if anyone out there knows about some items I don't have 
listed here, or some more equipment that Merchants or Goof Offs can 
use, please send me an email at akaiscarlet@hotmail.com, and after 
verification, I will gladly give you credit for finding it out.
Please note that I am going through the actual cartridge of the game
while making this walkthrough, so I have no real tips on if the game
messes up anywhere while using an emulator.  

---------------------------------------------------------------------

    Ok, as you turn the game on, you will be greeted with anywhere 
between 1 and 5 options, here is what they are and mean.

ڂ-Bouken wo Suru (Continue a game)
Ă-Settei wo Kaeru (Change Message Speed)
ڂ̂-Bouken no Sho wo Tsuru (Start a New Game)
ڂ̂-Bouken no Sho wo Utsusu (Copy a game file)
ڂ̂-Bouken no Sho wo Kesu (Erase a game file)

    All right, if you are starting a new game, choose the proper 
choice, and enter a name.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

     Choosing a name-You are only allowed 4 spaces, but the Japanese 
language makes it in a way 8 English letters.  Here is what the 2
different kana screens look like and what they stand for.



Hiragana Mode-This is used for Japanese words in the Japanese 
language, where Katakana is used for words from other languages
(example:-Sushi in Hiragana, `[YuK[-Chiizuburuga- 
(Cheeseburger) in Katakana.  Most names in Japanese videogames use
Katakana to write them.

-A   -I    -U    -E    -Ha   -Hi   -Fu   -He  -Ho

-Ka  -Ki   -Ku   -Ke   -Ma   -Mi   -Mu   -Me  -Mo

-Sa  -Shi  -Su   -Se   -Ra   -Ri   -Ru   -Re  -Ro

-Ta  -Chi  -Tsu  -Te   -Ya   -Yu   -Yo   -Wa  -N

-Na  -Ni   -Nu   -Ne   - -a  - -u  - -o  -*   -Wo
   
-a   -i    -u    -e    -o    B      BBB  H     I

*-This symbol is used for a double letter of the letter that follows it.
Example--Shoryureppa ( signifies the double P).

The symbols on the far right are:

"-Used for 'soft' letters (Soft K=G,Soft S=Z,Soft T=D,Soft H=B)

B-Used for the 'hard' letter P (Hard H=P)

[-Used for long vowel sounds.

Ji-Kana (Changes to Katakana mode)

ǂ-Modoru (Backspace)

-Owaru (Finish)     

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Katakana mode

A-A   C-I    E-U    G-E   n-Ha   q-Hi    t-Fu   w-He  z-Ho

J-Ka  L-Ki   N-Ku   P-Ke   }-Ma   ~-Mi   -Mu   -Me  -Mo

T-Sa  V-Shi  X-Su   Z-Se   -Ra   -Ri   -Ru   -Re  -Ro

^-Ta  `-Chi  c-Tsu  e-Te   -Ya   -Yu   -Yo   -Wa  -N

i-Na  j-Ni   k-Nu   l-Ne   - -a  - -u  - -o  b-*   -Wo
   
A-a   B-i    E-u    F-e     I-o   B      BBB  H     I

*-This symbol is used for a different pronounciation than the regular one
for the vowel before it.

The symbols on the far right are:

"-Used for 'soft' letters (Soft K=G,Soft S=Z,Soft T=D,Soft H=B)

B-Used for the 'hard' letter P (Hard H=P)

[-Used for long vowel sounds.

-Kana (Changes to Hiragana mode)

ǂ-Modoru (Backspace)

-Owaru (Finish)     

Once you choose , you are given two choices. 
Ƃ-Otoko (Male), and -On'na (Female).  Choose the sex you 
want, but in this game, Female characters can equip a few more items
that males cannot.  So choose wisely.

After choosing the sex of the Hero, you are given a choice to choose 
a number.  This is the message speed.  ͂₢-Hayai (Fast) or 
-Osoi (Slow). For the fastest message speed, choose 1.  For the
slowest, choose 8.

Lastly, you get to select the sound mode.  The 2 choices are
XeI-Sutereo (Stereo) and m-Monoraru (Mono).

----------------------------------------------------------------------

                          Starting the Game

     Walk north, into the light and to the edge of the cliff.  A voice 
will ask you different questions that are answered either 
͂-Hai (Yes) or -Iie (No).  I do not know what all of the 
questions are asking at this time, I apologize.  If you say yes first, 
it asks for your name.  Enter it (doesn't matter what you put), and 
then enter your birth month.  Then day of birth.  If the month and 
day are correct, choose ͂-Hai (Yes).  If it is not, choose 
-Iie (No).  After you input your birthday, the voice proceeds 
to ask you several questions.  Depending on how you answer, you will
be teleported to different places.  If you succed in the 'test', I 
think you get better stats at the beginning, but I'm not too sure.

    As the game starts, it is the Hero's 16th birthday, and it's time
to see the King.  Your mother takes you to the gates of the castle, 
go straight up to get there, and then go straight up in the castle to
get to the King.  Talk to him by using the first option when you hit
the A button, ͂Ȃ-Hanasu (Talk) and he gives you a basic outline
of what is happening.  
    Basically, he says that your -Chichi (Father), IeK-Orutega
(Ortega), met his end while fighting a monster on a R-Kazan
(Volcano-how smart is that to begin with?).  
    Now, you must follow in his footsteps and accomplish what he 
could not do, kill the evil oX-Maou? Baramosu (Archfiend
Baramos).  Why?  I don't remember why, but maybe he has bad B.O. or
something or its because he's such an ugly thing.  No matter.
   You receive 50 gold (ooh don't spend it all in one place now), and
are told to go to the Eatery and enlist people to campaign with you.
   So hop to it!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

    But first, it might be helpful to know a little about the menu
screen, and status screen, and such.  So here goes.

---------------------------------------------------------------------        
              
                      Menu Screen Translations

Note-a ** means there are more options that open when you select that
command.

͂Ȃ-Hanasu (Talk)       -Jumon (Magic)
**ǂ-Dougu (Item)      ׂ-Shiraberu (Search)
**悳-Tsuyosa (Status)  **-Sakusen (Strategy)

ǂ-Dougu (Item Bag) Translations

     When you choose the Item Bag, you will see a list of your char-
acters' names, and one more selection, ӂ-Fukuro (Item Bag).  Each 
character can now hold 12 items, instead of 8, and can put extra items
into the bag now, which is very helpful.
     Choose a character, and then hit the A button on the item in 
question, and another menu pops up.  The translations for those are 
as follows:
     -Tsukau (Use item)
     킽-Watasu (Move item up or down in list)
     -Soubi (Equip the item if you can)
     ݂-Miseru (Show the item)
     Ă-Suteru (Throw the item away-once its thrown, its gone!)
     ߂-Yameru (Cancel)

---------------------------------------------------------------------

悳-Tsuyosa (Status) Translations

     When you choose this command, you can choose an individual char-
acter, or choose the bottom option, ɂ-Zenin, which shows a 
'quick list' of all party members' current/max hp, current/max mp,
-Kougeki (Attack Power), -Shubi (Defense Power), and 
their current experience level.
     Now choose an individual character, and the stats are translat-
ed as follows:

          ____________________________________________________________
          |    Name       |    Amount of Gold                         |
          |Character Type |-------------------------------------------|
          |Behavior:Sex   | -Chikara (Power)                    |
          | Exp. Level    | ΂₳-Subayasa (Speed)                 |
          ----------------- 傭-Tairyoku (Vitality)            |
          |Weapon equipped| -Kashikosa (Intelligence)         |
          |Armor equipped | ̂悳-Un no Yosa (Luck)              |
          |Shield equipped| HP-Saidai HP (Max HP)             |
          |Helmet equipped| MP-Saidai MP (Max MP)             |
          |Decoration eqpd| -Kougeki Chikara (Attack Power) |
          ----------------| ї-Shubi Chikara (Defense Power)    |
                          | Ex: Current Experience Points             |
                          ---------------------------------------------
Note--Kougeki Chikara (Attack Power) is figured by the
characters' -Chikara (Strength) + the attack power of their
equipped weapon, and ї-Shubi Chikara (Defense Power) is figur-
ed by the defense power of their equipped armor, shield, helmet, 
decoration (if it applies) plus 50% of their speed rating.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

-Sakusen (Strategy) Translations

     When you open this menu, these options pop up.  The translations 
for these are to the best of my knowledge, so if anyone out there 
knows what the last option does, please email and I will give you 
credit for it.

     񂽂-Montan (Use the strongest heal spells to heal everyone)
     -Soubi (Equip weapons and armor)     
     Ȃт-Narabikae (Change party order)
     Ђ傤-Hyoujisokudo (Change message speed)
     ǂ-Dougu Seiri (Some form of item arrangement)
     ӂ낹-Fukuro Seiri (Arrange the order of items in the bag)

---------------------------------------------------------------------

                         AAn-Aliahan

      The items the Hero starts with are as follows:

    Eǂ̂邬-Dou no Tsurugi (Copper Sword) equipped     
    Eтт̂ӂ-Tabibi no Fuku (Wayfarer's Clothes) equipped
     тт̂ӂ-Tabibi no Fuku (Wayfarer's Clothes)
     ڂ-Konbou (Club)
     ڂ-Konbou (Club)
     Ђ̂̂ڂ-Hinoki no Bou (Cypress Stick)

     After talking to the King, leave the castle and go to town.  
You'll want to get some more party members first, so head for the 
building at the northeast corner in town.
     The merchant on the right is the Vault Keeper.  You can let him
save your gold for you (for free), and take it when you want.  He can
only hold gold in increments of 1000.  The point for him is that if
your party ever gets wiped out, you lose half of your current gold,
but lose none that is being stored.  So a wise thing to do would be
to deposit as much gold as you can before tackling a difficult cave 
or boss, to keep losses at a minimum.  When you talk to him you are
given the following options:
      -Azukeru (Give)
      Ђ-Hikidasu (Take)
      ߂-Yameru (Cancel)

     The woman behind the counter, C[^-Rui-ta, is who you want
to talk to to enlist party members, but you have to create them first;
unless you want the pre-made characters (which you don't). Now go up 
the stairs to the right.

---------------------------------------------------------------------


                     Creating Characters

     Once you reach the 2nd floor of the Eatery, talk to the man 
behind the counter on the left.  He will ask you if you want to
create a character, reply with a ͂-Hai (Yes).  Now name the 
character and choose -Owaru when you are finished with their
name.  Now choose the sex of the character, Ƃ-Otoko (Male),
or -On'na (Female).  Now its time to choose what type of char-
acter for them to be. 
     -Senshi (Soldier) High HP and attack power, but expensive
            to equip, and very low ΂₳-Subayasa (Speed).
     ԂƂ-Butouka (Fighter) Martial Arts fightet; costs less to
              equip than a Soldier, and has high Speed and Critical
              hit rate.
     ܂ق-Mahoutsukai (Wizard) Low attack power and HP, but
                  learns a lot of attack spells.
     -Souryo (Priest) Higher attack power and HP than a 
              Wizard, and learns spells of the healing variety.
     傤ɂ-Shounin (Merchant) Medium-level fighting ability;
                can find extra GP after battles and is the only
                character that can appraise items.
     тɂ-Asobinin (Goof Off) Medium-level fighting ability;
                but more often than not will do random actions in 
                battle, making them an unpredictable ally.  They do
                have very high ̂悳-Unnoyosa (Luck) however.
     Ƃ-Touzoku (Thief) A new type of character to DQ3, they
              have good attack power and speed, and can sometimes
              find items after a battle.  Also they have some helpful
              spells to find hidden items in towns and dungeons.

     The party I am using for this walkthrough is a 
ԂƂ-Butouka (Fighter), -Souryo (Priest), and a 
܂ق-Mahoutsukai (Wizard).  Use whatever you want, although I
recommend bringing a Priest and either a Fighter or Soldier, and then
whatever other character you want.

     Once you name a character and select their class, choose 
͂-Hai (Yes) if it is correct.
     You will then be given the option to roll for 5 status bonuses
yourself-Ԃ -Jibunde Yaru or let the computer randomly roll-
܂ɂ-Omakasenisuru.  The choice is yours, but I would roll 
myself.
     After creating your 3 new characters, go back downstairs and talk
to C[^-Rui-ta again.  You are given 3 options, and they are:
     Ȃ܂т-Nakama wo Yobidasu (Add to party)
     Ȃ܂-Nakama wo Azukeru (Remove from party)
     ߂ڂ݂-Meibo wo Miru (View roster)
     ߂-Yameru (Cancel)

     Enlist the 3 party members you created, then go back to the King.
As you talk to him, he will tell you how much experience each character
needs to get up to the next level, then ask if you want to save. Select
͂-Hai (Yes), then choose the file slot to save your game.  He will
then ask you if you want to continue playing, or not to. Say 
͂-Hai (Yes) to keep playing, and -Iie (No) to stop.
