This is the first part of my quick video walkthrough of DQM:J, which is quite an obscure game compared to the Pokémon series. This part covers the introductory level, Infant Isle, up to the opening ceremony of the Monster Scout Challenge.

In this walkthrough I will briefly guide you through the main islands and dungeons of the game, and show you where to go and what to do, etc. However, I will not tell you what monsters to catch, what skills to learn, and etc. - those are for you to figure out on your own, as customization is a big part of the fun.
Hint: This isn't Pokémon, and the species of the monsters are not as important as the skills and traits they possess, since any monster can learn any skill in this game.

Also, I will not probe every nook and cranny of the map to find rare monsters or secret items (look on GameFAQs for those), but I will show you the locations of all the important items, which are only a handful in the game.

Lastly, this game is really not that hard, so if you find a stage or boss too tough, then it's time to upgrade your monsters, and especially their skills. Remember, focus on skills, not species or stats! (If you just want to enjoy the story, then those super-complicated, chain-synthesized uber-monsters are just not worth your time!)

Thanks for watching!

Footnote:
1. I will try my best to avoid spoilers, so I usually skip all story-related cut-scenes.
2. Due to time constraint, I will try to avoid unnecessary battles, or edit them out after. I will also do all my grinding, catching, and syntheses off-screen.
3. My parties in the game are purposely over-leveled, because I want to get through the stages as quickly as possible, without grinding on the way (which you'll probably do).
*4. It's hard to do video walkthroughs for this kind of games, so comments and suggestions are welcome. But, if you don't like it, please kindly go watch something else, and don't flame.
