Dragon Quest Builders offers multiple challenges scattered across the game’s 4 chapters that players can take on. These challenges involve fighting enemies, completing puzzles, and fetching items. While not exceedingly tough to complete, these Dragon Quest Builders Challenges can sometimes be confusing.
In this guide, we will look at all the challenges in Dragon Quest Builders and how you can complete them. So, without wasting any more time, let’s get into it.
Chapter 1 – Cantlin Challenges
There are a total of 4 challenges in Chapter 1. You will defeat three dragons, build a garden, repair the grove, and complete the entire chapter within 20 in game days.
1. Defeat the Three Dragons
You should be able to find these dragons on each of the three initial islands. All dragons are sessile, but they have a couple of attacks – a melee-range tailspin attack and a fire-breath attack. The idea is to place an evil idol near a dragon and let it deal damage while you maintain a safe distance. The locations of the dragons are given below:
Dragon #1 Location
The first dragon can be found by heading southeast of your base. Head up the rocky formation, and on the other side, the dragon will sleep in the middle of the meadow.
Dragon #2 Location
For the second dragon, head west from the starting zone, where you’ll find a castle. Directly in front of the castle will be a stone mountain you can scale. You’ll find the sleeping dragon on the other side of the mountain.
Dragon #3 Location
Use the blue portal for the third and final dragon, and then simply head northwest. Scale the stone mountain, and the dragon will be on the other side.
2. Build the Cantlin Garden
To build the Cantlin Garden, you need a large room and these items:
- Bench
- x10 Flower
- x5 Plant
- x8 Water Block
- Plumberry Tree
- Brazier
Once assembled, you should automatically complete the challenge. It is important to note that a Plumberry Tree requires two complete nights to fully mature.
3. Repair the Hammerhood’s Grave
To complete this challenge, go through the red teleportal, head to a minor island in the north, and speak with Brownie. Once done, return to Hammerhood on the southwest edge of the blue teleportal arrival gate to build the required memorials.
4. Complete the chapter within 20 days
You must complete the chapter within 20 in-game days for the next challenge. Make sure to complete every objective as quickly as possible, and also make sure not to sleep or rest, or you will lose precious time.
Chapter 2 – Rimuldar Challenges
In chapter 2, you will again complete 4 challenges. You must fix the roof, obtain the Crown Goowels, answer the quiz questions, and now complete the second chapter within 30 days.
1. Fix the Roof of the Ruins
After heading through the blue teleportal, go towards the building with the damaged roof and open up the chest. This should allow you to build the roof with appropriate material. Once done, open up the second chest and learn how to adjust little things.

You must head through the green teleportal and continue fishing until you get a King Slime. Once you get it, simply defeat it to get the Crown Goowels.
