Unlike most games, the arena is a mandatory element in ''Dragon Quest Monsters''. To qualify for the Starry Night Tournament, Terry must defeat his rivals in the arena and become the representative of [[GreatTree]]. The arena is located on the second-to-top floor of the kingdom (one floor below the castle) and can be accessed after Terry clears the [[List of teleportals in Dragon Quest Monsters | Gate of Beginning]]. | Unlike most games, the arena is a mandatory element in ''Dragon Quest Monsters''.

While it is highly recommended that the player completes one class at a time, only three of the classes are required: Classes G, D, and S. All the other classes can be skipped if the player is able and wishes to do so. However, this risks the loss of breeding opportunities with NPC's so it is not recommended. Once a class is cleared, the player cannot compete in it, and any lower classes he may have skipped, again. At the beginning, Classes G to D will be available. After the player clears Class D (and the Gate of Anger afterwards), Classes C to S will be available. The third round of each class will be against a particular NPC the player is familiar with. These challengers are as followed: the principal, the doctor under the well, Teto, Master Mick, Teto, the tired guy in the restaurant, Master May, and the Medal Man. | While it is highly recommended that the player completes one class at a time, only three of the classes are required: Classes G, D, and S.

In addition, the Starry Night Tournament takes place in the arena. It will be available after the player clears Class S and the Gate of Reflection. There is no fee to compete in the tournament. Even if the player loses the tournament, he can keep trying until he wins (just like the other arena battles). | In addition, the Starry Night Tournament takes place in the arena.

The arena in GreatLog can be accessed after the player clears the Oasis Key events. Only the Kids' Class is required to complete the game as its prize is required to progress. Afterwards, Classes C to S will be available. The player will obtain a [[Magic Key]] for clearing each class. Once the player clears S Class, he or she can compete in any of the four classes, which will have randomized and much more powerful opponents. The prizes for clearing these classes are random and of higher quality the higher the class. If the player's inventory is full, he or she will receive 6000 G instead. The battling rules are the same as in ''Dragon Quest Monsters''. The fixed monster teams will vary slightly depending on the version. | The arena in GreatLog can be accessed after the player clears the Oasis Key events.
