What You Need to Know About Shrines and Mini Medals
Mini medals are a unique currency in Dragon Quest Builders 2. You can unlock new crafting tools, other pieces of equipment and even cosmetic items for your character.
In order to unlock mini medals, you will have to complete a series of shrines puzzles. There are 10 shrines scattered throughout the map of Furrowfield. Each shrine location can be viewed within the illustration provided above. Note that each shrine is marked with a red number.
