Metal Slimes are one of the more challenging enemies in the game to find and eliminate.

[{"selector":"#anim-ee39d18b-e5c4-4a5b-a68f-37577543f3fb","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(100.00000%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7257dfbb-de99-408f-a6ae-afca9ec17131","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4a74221b-7f3d-4793-b9ec-9928d8bd3da5","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5a4ff032-42d6-42e4-b7ab-a3b726f3385a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-1.0658141036401503e-14%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Additionally, some people have difficulty tracking down these secretive species.

[{"selector":"#anim-5d28022b-45b5-49f5-9849-a83cb5eae144","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ffd913ba-3dc1-4e96-bf79-de5b2382f136","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6392b01d-fa5c-4cd9-a561-ee1a2f9bf439 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.248221623695972%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

Where to find Metal Slimes in Dragon Quest Treasures is explained in this guide.

[{"selector":"#anim-d1bc42b8-a700-47a5-9292-1ee352aa5827","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(100.00000%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ed88c029-1d6e-4f03-8b78-cf3f6193bc75","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5826cf4c-7d7c-4577-8e87-6c678f719091","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b80307ce-56db-441e-af8d-f6605c95b380 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(62.499999214838994%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Under level 12 in the Dragon Quest Treasures Palatial Ruins/Plains

[{"selector":"#anim-503ad65a-2aad-4a9b-80c7-8f5a9f00cd0a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-71dba564-4175-4908-9750-ff0ab75a1a2f","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

and between levels 20 and 30 in Mount Numbumb are where you can discover Metal Slimes.

[{"selector":"#anim-bbfcbe20-8842-43e8-a3f6-b7efcfd40f96","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(103.36788%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4866e51c-3c96-411a-9d15-97aca8a4d0e5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9564de13-846a-4335-b0fa-59ccb81c59d1","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e180b94a-6512-41bf-8048-283756a24d57 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.251952197774436%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

It can be challenging to forecast when and where Metal Slimes will arise because they have a tendency to show up at random.

[{"selector":"#anim-aacbfe73-62ea-430c-af6d-8354fb1e0119","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-64825998-126e-43eb-891e-29d143ea8338","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d5c6e53d-61cc-4d43-865c-8162bde548b0 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.252459225170348%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

If you want a better chance of locating one, stay around the Palatial Ruins/Plains and Mount Numbumb.

[{"selector":"#anim-d16c9e65-3bd2-4a09-abe6-011e5c86c9c6 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-96e3b204-b1d4-45c2-8bf0-f74fc4a60bc8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8f2c8623-2f2c-422a-a082-5b6dc24584ff","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]
