Meanwhile, for the "Terra Incognita" content, PC players can look forward to:
- Boss Monster Model Set
- Players can unpack several giant posable monster figures which can then be added to their worlds.
- Astronomy Set
- Players get to light up the night sky with ten stars and planets to bring the beauty of the galaxy to their backyard.
- Pixel Ring
- Players can wear a Pixel Ring which gives them a higher number of "pixels" when defeating an enemy in "Terra Incognita."
- They can then use these to create special items on the "Dragon Quest Game Pack" workstation.
- Magic Carpet
- Players can use a magic carpet as they observe, build, and explore their structures from the sky, as well as listen to special music as they travel.
