Etrian Mystery Dungeon will have multiple free DLC packs at launch, but only for a limited time

Can't get better than free

If you're planning on picking up the deviously difficult (trust me, I'm playing it now) Etrian Mystery Dungeon, you'll be happy to know that five pieces of DLC will be available totally free immediately at launch.

The DLC however won't be free forever. After May 5, the DLC will revert to being paid content, and will each be available for the retail price listed below.

The DLC will include quests that will unlock new recipes that Niralda in the Amber Cafe can cook for you, which will apply a bunch of buffs that will last until you leave the dungeon. Pretty handy!

Here is the full description of each quest, as well as its list price that will come into effect on May 5.

  • Find a Wanderer for me! Find the master chef Wanderer to unlock three new recipes for the Amber Restaurant! ($1.49)
  • Find a Princess for me! Find the stray Sovereign to unlock a meal fit for a king in the Amber Restaurant! ($1.99)
  • Find a Landsknecht for me! Find the adventurous Landsknecht to unlock three new recipes for the Amber Restaurant! ($1.49)

The last two DLC quests are repeatable quests that players can get from Niralda as well:

  • Know the Red Pookas? Slay a Red Pooka wandering around the dungeon to receive a Golden or White potion for extra experience! ($1.99)
  • Slay the Gold Guardian! Defeat an elusive Gold Guardian in the dungeon to receive a Nugget of Gold fragment for extra gold! ($1.49)

Available before the game's release, the Etrian Mystery Dungeon 3DS theme will go live on March 31, and will be available for $.99.
