Appearances

Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation

In the Dragon Quest III remakes, scatterbrain is a personality that improves agility growth, but reduces every other attribute growth.

At the start of the game, the hero becomes a scatterbrain by receiving the final test of character in the cave. The hero must follow all the signs and go for the treasure instead of exiting the cave.

Other party members have a chance to be a scatterbrain when talent scouted at Patty's Party Planning Place, depending on their stat bonuses. It is not possible to become a scatterbrain by reading any books or equipping any accessories.

An existing character cannot become a scatterbrain through items.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake

The scatterbrain personality decreases Strength by 10%, has no influence on Resilience, increases Agility by 20%, decreases Stamina by 20%, decreases Wisdom by 20%, and decreases Luck by 10%. Once again, the hero will end up as a scatterbrain by receiving the final test of character in the cave. The hero will fall into a pit while trying to grab the treasure chest. It is possible to create a character from Patty's Party Planning Place that starts as a scatterbrain. However, even by replicating the same method of distributing seeds, it is still possible to end up with a different personality.
