*TIME STAMPS IN DESCRIPTION*
Welcome to my Mini Medals Guide for Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King for Nintendo 3DS. Mini Medals are these little yellow tokens hidden in a variety of places across the game. We can deliver these Mini Medals to Princess Minnie for multiple rewards to help you on your journey.

This is the beginning of a brand new series of videos covering DQ8, marking the first series of videos outside of Kingdom Hearts.

"I hope you all enjoy the new series of videos that I release and although this is quite an obscure game, it still remains one of my all time favourites and I felt it necessary to compile a series of guide videos for those of you that enjoy this game as much as I do and would :) like some help"- ShadyRiku :)
