Want to level up fast without grinding endlessly? This Dragon Quest XI trick lets you force Metal Slimes into battle, granting thousands of experience points with the right setup. Here’s how to use the Electro Light pep power method to maximize your EXP gains.

What You’ll Need

• Characters:
  • Hero, Sylvando, and Jade (must be recruited)
• Pep State:
  • All three characters must be pepped at the same time
• Battle Tips:
  • Enter fights with multiple enemies for best results
  • Group enemy encounters together on the overworld for larger battles

---

Step-by-Step Method

1. Get Pep Ready

• When any of the three (Hero, Sylvando, Jade) enter Pep State, move them to the inactive party.
  • This pauses their pep duration
• Once all three are pepped, move them into the active party

2. Start a Battle

• Engage in combat with enemies on the overworld
• Try pulling nearby enemies together before initiating battle for a larger group

3. Set Party to Follow Orders

• Make sure to control everyone manually to avoid killing enemies too early

4. Use Electro Light (Pep Power)

• Trigger Electro Light with Hero, Sylvando, and Jade
• What Electro Light does:
  • Replaces all enemies with metal slimes (or sometimes other monsters if the skill fails)
  • Results vary: sometimes 2–3 metal slimes, sometimes more if the enemy group is large

Pro Tip: If Electro Light fails and summons non-metal monsters, reload from your autosave and try again

How to Kill Metal Slimes Efficiently

• Metal Slimes often flee, so kill quickly:
  • Dual-wielding weapons (Hero or Erik) increases chances of crits
  • Jade: Use her spear skill (e.g., Lightning Thrust) with high crit rate
  • Eric (if used): Critical Claim guarantees a crit
• Focus fire on Liquid Metal Slimes first — they give the most EXP and are the most likely to flee

---

EXP Results

• Even with just two metal slimes and one liquid, you can earn 12,000+ EXP
• That’s enough for multiple level-ups at level 28 and below
• EXP increases with your party’s average level and later Acts of the game

Summary

This is one of the best early-to-mid game EXP farming tricks in Dragon Quest XI:

• Requires no special locations — just overworld enemies
• Simple prep: get three specific characters into Pep State
• Potential to repeat often with autosaves

This method can help you grind levels fast, especially when prepping for a tough boss or trying to boost late-joining party members.

If this guide helped you, consider saving your Pep Powers and using them wisely for Electro Light. And don’t forget to share the trick with your fellow Luminary adventurers!

Good luck, and happy leveling!
