Where to go after Monomon
Monomon is one of three Dreamers. The other two are natural next targets if you are continuing the Dreamer objective, but there is no required order established for them.
| Dreamer | Location | Choose this route if… |
|---|---|---|
| Lurien the Watcher | Watcher’s Spire in the City of Tears | You want to head toward the City of Tears. |
| Herrah the Beast | Beast’s Den in Deepnest | You want to head toward Deepnest. |
The locations are supported by the Dreamers reference. These destinations are alternatives based on where you want to explore next; the available guidance does not establish which is faster or easier.
