The '''goddess shield''' is a recurring shield in the {{DQSeries}}, first introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''. This beautiful shield is decorated with the image of a female deity and is frequently one of the strongest shields in the game, greatly reducing elemental damage taken by the wielder.

Appearing in the 3DS remake, the shield increases defense by +55, style by +17, and cuts all elemental damage (save [[Zap]]) by 30. [[Maribel]] and [[Aishe]] can equip it as long as they are at least level 35, giving them an excellent -60 elemental combo when used with the [[princess Robe]]. It can be acquired from the first completion of the The Depths of Darkness [[DLC Tablet]].

==={{DQ8}}===
{{Descriptions
|DQ8=A holy shield that reduces damage from fire and ice based spells by up to half.<ref>Sony PlayStation 2, Mobile, and Nintendo 3DS versions.</ref>
}}
The goddess shield has a defense bonus of +55, and cuts elemental damage '''in half''', even though the flavor text states that it only reduces fire and ice damage. This includes [[Frizz]], [[Sizz]], [[Crack]], [[Bang]], [[Woosh]], and fire and ice breath damage. It can only be equipped by [[Jessica]] and [[Angelo]] in the original version, as well as [[Red]] in the 3DS remake.

In the original PS2 version, it was only possible to get one shield since there was only one thanatos' shield in the game and it can only be made with the [[Alchemy Pot]]. However, in the 3DS version, another thanatos' shield can be found in the [[Memories Lane]] and they are also dropped rarely by [[Hell's gatekeeper (recurring)|hell's gatekeeper]]s.

The equipment consists of the [[Erdrick's Sword|sword]], [[Erdrick's Shield|shield]], [[Erdrick's Armour|armour]] and [[Erdrick's Helmet|helmet]] belonging to the legendary hero [[Erdrick]].

In the first two games the items bear Erdrick's name as a part of his iconography, but in {{Dragon Quest III}} each piece has a distinct name: the [[Sword of Kings]], [[Auroral Armour]], and the [[Hero's Shield]]. No helmet exclusive to the hero existed in the original 8-bit version, but subsequent releases have added [[Ortega's Helm]] reforged into [[Auroral Helm]] to fill in the gap.

==Appearances==
===''[[Dragon Quest]]''===
Erdrick's sword, armour, and mark debut in the seminal title, with the game's plot making the mark a mandatory acquisition. The sword and armour are entirely optional, albeit strongly recommended, and the fabled shield would not appear until the sequel. As helmets were not a distinct equipment type in the first game it is assumed that Erdrick's helm was included with the armour set.

The sword is held in the depths of the [[Dragonlord's Castle]] as a precaution on the scaled sovereign's part, and the armour is located in the ruins of [[Damdara]] where it is guarded by a [[Knight Aberrant|knight aberrant]]. The mark is found in the fetid swamp south of [[Cantlin]], being exactly 40 steps east and 70 steps south of [[Tantegel]].

In the HD-2D Remake, the armour and the sword are found in the same locations in the original game. The helm is found in the Western Isle, accessible only after Zalen visits the Shrine of Rain. The shield is found in [[Weeping Isle]] in a chest that requires the [[Ultimate key]] to unlock.

==={{DQ2}}===
The sword is once more found in the Dragonlord's castle, watched over by his [[Dragonlord's great-great-grandson|great-grandson]]. Though powerful, the sword will be eclipsed by several weapons the player encounters over the course of the adventure.

The mail is found in the third floor of the [[Cave to Rendarak|chasm leading to Rendarak]], in the bottom-rightmost section of the floor near a set of stairs. Erdrick's helmet is obtained by exchanging the Mark of Erdrick at the [[Sanctum|shrine]] southeast of Tantegel, and the mark itself being found in [[Midenhall]] behind a door requiring the [[Golden Key|golden key]] to open. In the HD-2D Remake, the chest containing the mark requires the Ultimate Key to open.

The shield is found in the castle of [[Cannock]], being watched over by an old man on a tiny islet. The golden key (Magic key in the HD-2D Remake) is required to open the door to gain access to it.
==={{DQ2HD}}===

The Sword can be reforged into its former glory with a piece of [[Orichalcum]] found in [[Craggy Cave]]. The quest to obtain it is only accessible after the [[Ultimate key]] is acquired. The sword is also required to gain access to the Shrine of Rain and the Lighthouse.

The Dragonlord's great-grandson will upgrade both the sword and the shield into [[Erdrick's supreme sword]] and [[Erdrick's Supreme Shield|Erdrick's supreme shield]] once he is beaten in battle.

While only the Prince of Midenhall can equip the equipment in the original versions of the game, it can be equipped by everyone in the HD-2D Remake and will change their appearance if they equip the full set.

==={{DQ3}}===
Due to taking place in the distant past, none of the heraldry bears Erdrick's name until the completion of the game. The [[Sword of Kings]] was destroyed by [[Zoma]] over the course of several years due to the demon king fearing its power, and must be reforged with an ingot of [[Orichalcum]]. This precious metal is found in the horse field of Damdara, and must be sold to the [[Jipang|Jipangese]] blacksmith living in [[Kol]]. Once he is given the metal, the sword will be available for purchase.

The [[Auroral Armour]] is found in a chest in a hidden room in the [[Tower of Rubiss]], and the [[Hero's Shield]] is found on the bottom floor of the [[Nail Mark]] northwest of Tantegel. [[Ortega's Helm]] was added to the game in the SNES remake, being given to the player by the people of [[Mur]], giving the Hero a complete set of armour. What would become the mark of Erdrick is the [[Sacred Amulet]], which is granted to the player upon the rescue of [[Rubiss]].

==={{DQ3HD}}===
The [[auroral helm]] was added to the legendary equipment in the HD remake, being the upgraded form of Ortega's helm that confirms the fan speculation of the latter becoming part of the set by matching the design of Erdrick's helmet. Of note is that it increases the power of the [[Zap]]-family of spells by 20% when worn, a distinct feature not seen in other legendary helmets.

==={{DQ8}}===
Available only in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version is "Ye Olde Sword of Erdrick", a rusty version of the mythical blade that is obtained via a download code first made available internationally on February 24, 2017. Players can reforge the tarnished slab by mixing it with the [[liquid metal sword]] and a lump of orichalcum in the [[Alchemy pot]].

==={{DQ9}}===
[[Erdrick's Sword|Erdrick's sword]] is the result of mixing the [[Rusty sword|Rusty sword]] with nine [[Glass frit]]s and one chunk of Orichalcum within [[Krak Pot]]. The rusty sword lays within a chest on the eighth floor of the [[Realm of the Mighty]].

The suit of armour has been split into several pieces corresponding to the [[Erdrick's Armour|upper & lower body]], [[Erdrick_Equipment#Erdrick's_gauntlets|hands]], and [[Erdrick's Helmet|head]] as per the system changes features in ''IX''. These pieces of equipment are first obtained in dilapidated condition and are collectively referred to as the [[Rusty suit]], along with the [[Erdrick's Shield|shield]].

==={{DQB}}===
Erdrick's sword, shield, and armour are available in this alternate timeline spin-off. The paraphernalia is referred to by the antiquated names not used since ''III'', and can be forged in the fifth chapter of the game.

==={{DQB2}}===
The three parts of the heraldry return for the sequel, but have simpler recopies to forge.

==={{DQTact}}===
Erdrick's sword and armour appear as S-rank equipment made available in the ''True Dragon Quest III'' event.

==={{SSB5}}===
The sword, armour, helmet, and shield are available as Mii Swordfighter costume gear, and the Hero if III fights with the sword of kings and hero's shield equipped.

==Miscellaneous==
===[[Sacred Amulet]]===
Exclusive to {{Dragon Quest III}}, the amulet is given to the {{Hero 3}} by [[Rubiss]] and will grant +30 {{Luck}}, along with ''complete'' immunity to instant death and [[Kamikazee]].

As {{Dragon Quest IX}} has split armor into three categories, the gauntlets that originally came with the auroral armor have become their own equipment for the game.

===[[Erdrick's Tablet]]===
[[file:DW1 ErdricksTablet.png|right|100px]]
Erdrick's tablet is found in the [[Erdrick's Cave|cave bearing his name]] north-west of Tantagel castle. It is a message he left for his descendants, detailing the means necessary to travel to the isle of evil in the center of Alefgard. The tablet only appears in the original 8-bit version of the first game, being replaced by a sprite depicting a large monolith that serves the same purpose in all subsequent versions.

==Trivia==
*The iconography of Erdrick bears a distinct resemblance to [[Ramia]], appearing on the sword, shield, and armor of legend. Even the hero's emblem bears Ramia's visage, likely owning to her significance in ''III's'' chain of events.
*The overworld sprite of [[Ortega]] in the {{SFC}} Version shows him wearing a black helmet with a single strip of metal going vertically along the cranium, rather than the blue emblemized helmet seen in later sets of the Armor of Erdrick. This could imply that the helmet was modified after joining with the legendary gear.
*Some versions of the sword and shield have [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Saxon_runes Anglo-Saxon runes] inscribed on them.
** The runes on the sword read "Dragon Kuest", an approximation of ''Dragon Quest''. These runes first appeared on the sword in artwork for ''VIII''.
** The runes on the shield read "Roto", Erdrick's Japanese name. These runes first appeared on the shield in Famicon artwork.

Upgradable equipment

2026-05-21T18:25:07Z

GerikZ5: /* {{DQ11}} */

The '''Upgradable equipment''' is a fan term referring to a specific type of optional endgame gear that represents the pinnacle of obtainable gear. Their distinctive feature is that they can be upgraded to be even more powerful, and each piece of equipment comes in 4 stages with each increasing in power.

=={{DQ9}}==

The upgradable equipment make their first appearance in this game and are the best weapons and armours that can be found. The weapons can only be found in a [[List_of_treasure_map_treasure_chest_ranks_in_Dragon_Quest_IX#Rank_10/S|Rank 10 Chest]] at 1% in the [[Treasure map (Dragon Quest IX)|Treasure map Grottos]] when the armour can be dropped at 2% in different [[Treasure_map_(Dragon_Quest_IX)#c._Normal_map_bosses|bosses]] of the Treasure map Grottos.

When found, they can be upgraded with the [[Krak Pot]] in the [[Quester's Rest |Quester's Rest inn]] multiple time. The first upgrade for any equipment require an [[Agate of Evolution]] and an [[List of alchemy ingredients in Dragon Quest IX|Orb]] only dropped by the Legacy Bosses, the second upgrade require 3 Agate of Evolution and 3 Orb of the same colours. A third upgrade making the equipment even stronger is only accessible with a [[Alchemiracle]] when doing the second upgrade. If it doesn't succeed, a [[Reset stone]] can be combine with the equipment obtained to send it back to the first stage and start again.

The Upgradable equipment make another appearance in this game with few changes. The weapons are the only equipment who can be upgraded and only each one of them are found in the game.

The weapons can be collected at various points in second act while three [[List of fun-size forge recipe book locations in Dragon Quest XI|Forge manuals]] for upgrade them are found in act 3. The first is found in the [[Tower of Lost Time]], the second in the Sage's Trial of the [[Drustan's labyrinth]] and the last is won with a wish from [[Drustan]].

==Trivia==
* Some equipments, the [[Angel's robe]] and the [[Gringham whip]], existed in previous games but ''Dragon Quest IX'' is the first game who make these equipment upgradable.
* The [[Red-hot poker (Weapon)|Red-hot poker]] exist only in ''Dragon Quest IX'', be replacing by the [[Straight poker]] who become the second version in ''Dragon Quest XI'' while moving other weapons in the ligne, the [[Stud poker]] moves from second to third versions and the [[Split-pot poker]] move from the third place to final version.
* The first three versions of the weapons in ''Dragon Quest XI'' can't have any refinement, only the final version can.
*The [[Spring breeze hat]] ligne in ''Dragon Quest IX'' is the only one who only require 1 Agate of Evolution and 1 Orb for each upgrade and don't have Alchemiracle to reach the last version.

Upgradable equipment

2026-05-21T18:00:48Z

GerikZ5: /* Trivia */

The '''Upgradable equipment''' is a fan term referring to a specific type of optional endgame gear that represents the pinnacle of obtainable gear. Their distinctive feature is that they can be upgraded to be even more powerful, and each piece of equipment comes in 4 stages with each increasing in power.

=={{DQ9}}==

The upgradable equipment make their first appearance in this game and are the best weapons and armours that can be found. The weapons can only be found in a [[List_of_treasure_map_treasure_chest_ranks_in_Dragon_Quest_IX#Rank_10/S|Rank 10 Chest]] at 1% in the [[Treasure map (Dragon Quest IX)|Treasure map Grottos]] when the armour can be dropped at 2% in different [[List of treasure map bosses in Dragon Quest IX|bosses]] of the Treasure map Grottos.

When found, they can be upgraded with the [[Krak Pot]] in the [[Quester's Rest |Quester's Rest inn]] multiple time. The first upgrade for any equipment require an [[Agate of Evolution]] and an [[List of alchemy ingredients in Dragon Quest IX|Orb]] only dropped by the Legacy Bosses, the second upgrade require 3 Agate of Evolution and 3 Orb of the same colours. A third upgrade making the equipment even stronger is only accessible with a [[Alchemiracle]] when doing the second upgrade. If it doesn't succeed, a [[Reset stone]] can be combine with the equipment obtained to send it back to the first stage and start again.

Treasure map (Dragon Quest IX)

2026-05-21T17:52:31Z

GerikZ5: /* Legacy boss maps */

A '''[[treasure map]]''' is a specialty item in {{DQ9}}.

When opened, a treasure map marks a particular spot on the world map where a secret grotto can be found. Treasure maps come in 2 varieties: normal and legacy boss. Treasure maps play a major role in extending Dragon Quest IX's post-game by adding an unlimited amount of pseudo-randomly generated content. Treasure maps must be used in order to fight the most powerful monsters in the game, as well as find the best equipment and items.

==Map description==
When viewed on the item screen, each treasure map displays description data. This data contains the following:
*Image of the map's grotto entrance which must be located on the world map
*Name of the original owner of the map, aka the player whose game originally generated the map.
*Name of the player who completed the map.
*A 3 item list of treasures which might be received upon completion of the map. These items have increasing rareness and are listed as question marks until they have been received for the first time. For all maps, the first item is always received 100% of the time. On normal maps, the first item is always another normal treasure map. For legacy boss maps, the first item is a [[mini medal]]. The second and third items are directly correlated to the treasure map boss' item drops, including their drop percentage. There is one exception to this rule on normal maps. If [[Greygnarl]] is the grotto boss, the 100% item is a [[Yggdrasil Leaf]] rather than another normal treasure map. Therefore, when a treasure map is completed, the player receives the 100% item and possibly a rare drop item from the boss.

==World map locations==
Each treasure maps displays a location on the world map that the player must find in order to access the map's grotto/dungeon. There is a fixed number of possible world map locations where a map's grotto can appear. For almost all maps, the grotto location is randomly selected from all the possible world map locations. However, maps shared using Tag Mode or by completing quests retain the same world map location.

To access a map's grotto, the player must find the location marked by the map on the overworld. When the map is activated, meaning it is in use and displayed on the top screen, the player will see an exclamation point above the hero's head on the bottom screen when they are in the correct location. Pressing the 'A' button when this happens will cause the map's grotto to appear. Pressing 'A' again, enters the grotto.

Once a map is put away, its grotto also disappears from the overworld. However, activating the map again allows the player to re-activate the grotto. The world map location of a map is permanent after it has been received by the player.

For images of all the possible world map locations for each map, see [[List of treasure map grotto locations in Dragon Quest IX]] .

==Types of maps==
===Normal maps===
Normal treasure maps lead to grottos/dungesons which consist of a number of floors containing enemies and possibly treasure chests, as well as a boss in the final basement. Each normal map is given a descriptive title which includes a level number. This level is a measure of difficulty for the associated grotto. All normal maps which are not received via Tag Mode are randomly generated based on various criteria. See [[#Normal map generation mechanics]] for a full description of the normal map generation process.

===Legacy boss maps===
Legacy Boss maps are treasure maps which lead to grottos/dungeons which contain only 1 floor holding a legacy boss from {{Dragon Quest}}- {{VIII}}. These maps are considered bonus material and are only received using Tag Mode, by completing specific quests, and as item drops from certain other treasure map bosses. There are exactly [[List_of_treasure_map_bosses_in_Dragon_Quest_IX#Legacy bosses|13 legacy boss maps]] in {{Dragon Quest IX}}.

The legacy bosses are unusual in that you can give them the {{EXP}} normally obtained from defeating them so they can level up. This increases their strength in battle, and adjusts their treasure drops.

==Methods to acquire maps==
===Tag Mode===
:''See main article: [[Tag Mode]]''
Treasure maps can be received via Tag Mode with other copies of {{Dragon Quest IX}}. When entering Tag Mode, each player is able to choose a single treasure map which they possess to share with other games. This map will be "copied", meaning the original player does not lose it by sharing it on Tag Mode. This method of sharing treasure maps is also used for various {{Dragon Quest IX}} events in order to share maps. The 2 most famous maps traded via Tag Mode are the [[Masayuki map]] and the [[Locker map]].

===Quests===
The following [[Quests (Dragon Quest IX)|quests]] give a treasure map as a reward for their completion.
{{DQIXQuest/15}}
{{DQIXQuest/58}}
{{DQIXQuest/62}}
{{DQIXQuest/151}}
{{DQIXQuest/152}}
{{DQIXQuest/158}}
{{DQIXQuest/167}}
{{DQIXQuest/176}}
{{DQIXQuest/179}}
{{DQIXQuest/184}}

Note that quests 151 and higher are only available through the [[DQVC]].

===Treasure map boss item drop===
After defeating certain treasure map bosses multiple times, the possibility exists that the boss will drop a specific treasure map. However, only 5 bosses have the possibility of dropping a map and each of the 5 has a specific map which they drop.

{| cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" border="1"
! Boss !! Map Dropped
|-
| [[Baramos]] || [[Murdaw]]
|-
| [[Murdaw]] || [[Dhoulmagus]]
|-
| [[Greygnarl]] || [[Dragonlord]]
|-
| [[Dragonlord]] || [[Psaro the Manslayer|Psaro]]
|-
| [[Psaro the Manslayer|Psaro]] || [[Nimzo]]
|}

The drop percentages are as follows:

{| cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" border="1"
! Boss Level !! Map Drop Percentage
|-
| 16 - 25 || 10%
|-
| 26 - 40 || 15%
|-
| 41 - 56 || 20%
|-
| 57 - 68 || 25%
|-
| 69 - 80 || 30%
|-
| 81 - 90 || 35%
|-
| 91 - 99 || 40%
|}

===King Schott===
[[King Schott]] of [[Stornway Castle]] will give the player 1 random treasure map when speaking with him after completing the game.

===Completion of a normal treasure map===
Each normal treasure map has a specific number of floors, always culminating with a boss monster on the final basement. Defeating this boss monster gives the player another normal treasure map. This is the primary method of obtaining new treasure maps, as there is no limit to the number of maps a player can complete. A new map is given each time the player completes a normal treasure map, however, each map must be closed and reopened before it can be completed again. Note that the exception to this is any grotto which has [[Greygnarl]] as a boss. For information on how each normal map is generated, see [https://dragon-quest.org/wiki/Treasure_map_(Dragon_Quest_IX)#Normal_map_generation_mechanics| Normal Map Generation Mechanics].

==Normal map generation mechanics==
After completing a normal treasure map, another map is randomly generated and given to the player. The mechanics of how a new map is generated are somewhat complex.
===1. Determining quality===
''Quality'' is a computed number between 2 and 248 that is later used to determine how good the next map will be. A higher quality value yields more rare maps. The formula for quality is:

<pre>
q = (h + (5 * r) + m) + p()

q: quality value
h: hero's highest vocation level
r: hero's highest number of revocations (max of 10)
m: level of previous treasure map
p(): randomly generated value between -/+ 10%
</pre>

The hero's highest vocation level is the highest level they currently hold in any single vocation. The hero's highest number of revocations is the highest number of times they have used [[revocation]] in any single vocation. Note that revocation is the process used to change from level 99 in any single vocation back to level 1. The high and low values for quality are thus computed:

<pre>
h: 1
r: 0
m: 1

q = (1 + (5 * 0) + 1) + p() = 2

h: 99
r: >= 10
m: 99

q = (99 + (5 * 10) + 99) + p() = 248
</pre>
Note that p() in these examples is negated by the max and min values of 2 and 248 respectively.

===2. Grotto content generation===
After computing the quality value, the game randomly selects one of 32768 maps for that quality value. Since quality can range from 2 to 248, the total normal map possibilities can be computed as:

<pre>
(248 - 2) * 32,768 = 8,060,928 different maps
</pre>

Hence the reason high quality maps are so rare. Even with the highest quality value (248), there is still only a 1/32768 chance of getting a specific map. For higher quality values, the possible maps contain grottos which are much longer and hold more powerful enemies, bosses, and treasures. The following table shows the relation between the quality value and the map contents.

{| cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" border="1"
! Quality !! # of Floors !! Monster Rank !! Boss #
|-
| 2-55 || 2-4 || 1-3 || 1-3
|-
| 56-60 || 4-6 || 2-4 || 1-3
|-
| 61-75 || 4-6 || 2-4 || 2-5
|-
| 76-80 || 6-10 || 1-5 || 2-5
|-
| 81-100 || 6-10 || 1-5 || 3-7
|-
| 101-120 || 8-12 || 2-6 || 4-7
|-
| 121-140 || 10-14 || 2-6 || 5-9
|-
| 141-160 || 10-16 || 3-7 || 6-9
|-
| 161-180 || 10-16 || 3-7 || 7-10
|-
| 181-200 || 11-16 || 4-9 || 8-12
|-
| 201-220 || 12-16 || 5-9 || 1-12
|-
| 221-248 || 14-16 || 9 || 1-12
|}
Using this table, the game randomly selects an eligible value from each column according to the computed quality value. For example, for the highest quality brackets (201-220 and 221-248), a random boss is selected from all 12 possible bosses.

====a. Monster Rank====
The monster rank value is used both for determining monsters and treasure chest rank within the grotto. Higher values equate to more difficult monsters and better chest contents.

Monster Rank increases in value on lower floors of a grotto. The increase can summarized as:

<pre>
r = b + floor((f - 1) / 4)

r: rank of floor f
b: base rank of grotto, where K = 1 ... C = 9
f: floor number
Note that floor() is the mathematical floor function.
</pre>

More simply stated, the rank increases by 1 for every 4 floors completed. So for the largest grotto (16 floors), the break down would be:

<pre>
floor 1 rank = C (9) + floor(0 / 4) = C (9)
...
floor 5 rank = C (9) + floor(4 / 4) = B (10)
...
floor 9 rank = C (9) + floor(8 / 4) = A (11)
...
floor 13 rank = C (9) + floor(12 / 4) = S (12)
floor 16 rank = C (9) + floor(15 / 4) = S (12)
</pre>
Therefore, rank S (12) is the highest any grotto can contain, and can only appear from the 13th floor. Also note that not all monsters within a particular rank may appear on a floor. Which monsters within the rank appear and their frequency is determined randomly. This fact is tied to the popularity of the [[Masayuki map]], as it contains a floor where only [[metal king slime|Metal King Slimes]] appear.

For the list of monsters in each rank, see [[List of treasure map monster ranks in Dragon Quest IX]].

====b. Treasure chest rank====
Treasure chest rank is derived from the monster rank value. Treasure chest rank only has 10 values rather than 12.

{| cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" border="1"
! Monster Rank !! Treasure Chest Rank
|-
| 1 || 1-2
|-
| 2 || 1-2
|-
| 3 || 1-3
|-
| 4 || 1-4
|-
| 5 || 2-5
|-
| 6 || 2-6
|-
| 7 || 3-7
|-
| 8 || 3-8
|-
| 9 || 4-9
|-
| 10 || 5-9
|-
| 11 || 1-10
|-
| 12 || 5-10
|}

Treasure chest rank is determined on a per chest basis. This means that for a floor with monster rank 5, each chest could have a rank between 2 and 5. Each chest permanently retains its rank, so a rank 8 chest will always contain rank 8 items. The treasure map must be closed and reopened in order for chests to respawn their items.

The number of actual chests on any one floor is determined randomly. This variability in the number of chests and their rank is the reason for the [[Locker map]]'s popularity, as it has a high amount of rank 9 and 10 chests.

For details on treasure chest rank items, see [[List of treasure map treasure chest ranks in Dragon Quest IX]].

====c. Normal map bosses====
There are 12 possible bosses for normal treasure maps. These bosses are indexed below in increasing order of difficulty:

{| cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" border="1"
! # !! Name
|-
| 1 || [[Equinox]]
|-
| 2 || [[Nemean]]
|-
| 3 || [[Shogum]]
|-
| 4 || [[Trauminator]]
|-
| 5 || [[Elusid]]
|-
| 6 || [[Sir Sanguinus]]
|-
| 7 || [[Atlas]]
|-
| 8 || [[Hammibal]]
|-
| 9 || [[Fowleye]]
|-
| 10 || [[Excalipurr]]
|-
| 11 || [[Tyrannosaurus Wrecks]]
|-
| 12 || [[Greygnarl]]
|}

{{spoiler|start}}
The first ten bosses are implied at several points throughout the game (and stated outright by Fowleye) to be aspects of the Almighty, who was fragmented by Corvus and sealed into the grottos to ensure that he would not regain his power.
{{spoiler|end}}

After defeating a boss, the treasure map must be closed and reopened in order for the boss to reappear.

For a full list of treasure map bosses, see [[List of treasure map bosses in Dragon Quest IX]].

===5. Map name generation===
The treasure map name is generated based on the treasure map grotto contents and is structured as follows:

<pre>
prefix + environment + "of" + suffix + level

For example:
Clay Tunnel of Bliss Lv.1
</pre>

Each portion of the map name represents an attribute of the grotto contents. Since the grotto contents are determined by the ''quality'' value listed above, the name is determined by randomly selecting from the eligible options for each portion of the name according to the grotto contents.
====Level====
The level formula is:
<pre>
|l| = ((f - 2) * 3) + ((m - 1) * 3) + ((b - 1) * 3) + r()
</pre>
or, to simplify:

<pre>
|l| = ((f + m + b - 4) * 3) + r()

l: new map level
f: number of grotto floors/basements, not including boss floor
m: base monster rank of grotto
b: boss number
r(): random number between -5 and 5
</pre>

So for a map that has 8 floors (not including boss floor), monster rank 5, and boss 5 the level would be computed as:

<pre>
|l| = ((8 - 2) * 3) + ((5 - 1) * 3) + ((5 - 1) * 3) + r()
|l| = (18 + 12 + 12) + r()
|l| = 42 + r()
37 <= l <= 47
</pre>
So the level will be between 37 and 47, depending on the random value generated between -5 and 5.

====Prefix====
Prefix is related to the rank of the treasure map grotto. Rank is determined by the ''quality'' value computed above, and the prefix is randomly selected from the possible prefixes associated with the base rank.

{| cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" border="1"
! Prefix !! Base Monster Rank
|-
| Clay || 1-2
|-
| Rock || 1-2
|-
| Granite || 1-2
|-
| Basalt || 1-2
|-
| Graphite || 1-4
|-
| Iron || 3-4
|-
| Copper || 3-8
|-
| Bronze || 3-8
|-
| Steel || 5-8
|-
| Silver || 5-8
|-
| Gold || 5-8
|-
| Platinum || 5-8
|-
| Ruby || 6-9
|-
| Emerald || 7-9
|-
| Sapphire || 7-9
|-
| Diamond || 7-9
|}
There is a fair amount of ambiguity with each rank, as a map with rank 8 could have 10 out of 16 possible prefixes.

====Environment====
Environment is the word in the treasure map title that describes the 'theme' of the treasure map grotto. There are 5 possible themes:
* Cave/Nature
* Ruins
* Ice
* Water
* Volcano
There are a variety of environment words used to describe each of these different themes. The environment word used is related to the number of floors the grotto contains.

The ambiguity is high related to number of floors. A grotto with 11 floors could have any environment word except for Tunnel and Cave.

====Suffix====
The suffix of the treasure map name is related to the number of the boss on the last floor of the grotto.

==Treasure map calculators==
A calculator has been developed to compute the possible values related to treasure maps using the mechanics discussed above.
* [https://saintly.zeck.net/gaming/dq9_grotto.html#Predict_H0_Netxc_I0_R0 Calculator]

==Obtaining better maps==
A common question is how to obtain better maps. The answer to this question is to improve the quality value computed when each new map is generated. This can be done by doing the following:
* Level up the hero, in any vocation, as high as possible (eventually level 99).
* Level up the hero, in many other vocations to level 99 and begin using revocation.
* Continue completing the highest level treasure maps available, as the level of the previous map is used in computing the quality of the next map.
* Use revocation up to 10 times for maximum effect.

Bonus dungeon

2026-05-20T21:09:40Z

GerikZ5:

A '''Bonus dungeon''' is a location in a {{Main Series}} game, usually accessible only after completing the main storyline of the game. It is considered additional ''bonus'' content to the main content of the game and typically features special rewards, challenges, or Easter eggs.

The concept of a bonus dungeon first appeared in {{DQ5}}, and at least one has appeared in subsequent installment of the series, as well as several remakes of past titles.

==Appearances==

==={{DQ2HD}}===
Two new bonus dungeons, the [[Cave of the Dwarves]] and the [[Cave of Confusion]] appears after defeating Malroth. At the very bottom of the 25 floors of this dungeon lies the [[Sphere of Light]] to be handed over to [[Dragonlord's great-grandson]] to fight him.

Another bonus dungeon is [[Citadel Tower]] leading from {{Cloudsgate Citadel 3}} up to [[Xenlon]], though this is identical to {{III}} apart from different treasure (indeed, the tower music from {{III}} plays rather than that of {{II}}). This is altogether a better place for grinding, as one can easily zoom to an inn and then back to the Citadel Tower, especially while building up the strength to face all 25 levels of treasure hunting in the Cave of Confusion.

==={{DQ3}}===
Both the {{Super Famicom}} and {{Game Boy Color}} versions contain a bonus dungeon named as [[??? (Dragon Quest III)|???]] that is accessible from the [[Castle of the Dragon Queen]] after defeating [[Zoma]]. A lone [[Baramonster]] appears at the end of the dungeon, which in turn leads to {{Cloudsgate Citadel 3}} (Zenithia). The dungeon is a cave made up of layouts from the previous dungeons. The second part of the dungeon, the [[Citadel Tower]], follow Cloudsgate Citadel where at the end awaits the dragon [[Xenlon]], who can grant few wishes if the {{Party 3}} can defeat her in a strict limit of time.

In the {{Game Boy Color}} version, the spot that was occupied by [[Ramia]] in [[Rimland]] will become a portal to the [[Ice Cave]], a second Bonus Dungeon with its [[Gran Dragon|own boss]]. The entrance will become available after making a wish to [[Xenlon]] to open it.

==={{DQ3HD}}===
The [[Temple of Trials]] takes the place of the forgotten Ice Cave, and is unlocked in the same manner. All monsters that were present in the portable-exclusive bonus dungeon have returned after a long absence, with the Grand Dragon once more taking it's place as the game's ultimate superboss.

==={{DQ4}}===
The remakes of the fourth title introduced the {{Fungeon 4}} and Chapter Six. Located beneath [[The Azimuth]], this immense and strange dungeon featured many creatures from later games and culminated with the bizarre bonus bosses [[Chow Mein and Foo Yung]]. After defeating them the first time, a side quest starts that enables the player to resurrect an [[Rose|individual]] and recruit a {{Psaro 9}} as a {{Party 4}} member. The bonus bosses can be fought again to obtain [[Pandemonic Equipment|special gear exclusive to the new character]].

==={{DQ5}}===
The first bonus dungeon included in the original release is [[Estark's Labyrinth]], which contains the eponymous superboss [[Estark]] as a cameo from {{IV}}. In all remakes, after defeating [[Estark]] a special {{T'n'T}} board aptly named "Stark Raving Mad" will be made available to the player; if the player manages to reach the finish square, it unlocks two [[Starkers|unique]] and [[Rebjørn|powerful]] [[Monster recruitment|monster companions]].

==={{DQ6}}===
After defeating the [[Mortamor|final boss]], if the {{Party 6}} have between them reached the fifth rank of every single {{Vocation}}, including the secret {{Dragon V}} and [[Liquid metal slime (vocation)|Liquid metal slime]], then they can enter the {{Fungeon 6}} through the back chamber of {{Alltrades Abbey 6}} in the [[Upper World]]. Besides taking the {{Hero 6}} and {{Party 6}} to a grim mirror of [[Weaver's Peak]], with some of the rarest items for purchase, the {{Fungeon 6}} is home to one of the most powerful {{MFamilies}}s in the entire series, the demon lord who destroyed [[Castle Graceskull]]: the great and terrible [[Nokturnus]]. If the {{Party 6}} can defeat him within 20 turns, the player will be treated to a very special ending variant of the final battle against [[Mortamor]].

==={{DQ7}}===
The seventh title features two bonus dungeons to spelunk once the demonlord is vanquished: the [[Cave to Another World]] and the [[Cave to Yet Another World]]. Both of these extras require their own sets of [[Fragment]]s to be amassed and assembled in the [[Shrine of Mysteries]], and consist of recycled areas explored earlier in the game with more powerful monsters and greater treasures. At the end of the first bonus dungeon is [[Numen|a deity]], who will offer the {{Party 7}} a friendly bout after congratulating them for their undertakings. The fight at the end of the second dungeon is the quartet of elementals: the [[Earth Spirit]], [[Fire Spirit]], [[Water Spirit]], and [[Wind Spirit]]. They aggressively defend the humble dwelling of the first bonus boss and will not even allow the warriors of Eden to approach it.

==={{DQ8}}===
The bonus dungeons are composed of the [[Dragovian Path]], followed by the [[Heavenly Dais]] with the [[Dragovian Sanctuary]] serving as rest area between the two places – the latter featuring a sidequest that uncovers {{Eight}}'s heritage. After defeating the [[Lord of the Dragovians]], the Dragovian Trials become available and a new ending occurs after defeating [[Rhapthorne|the final boss]] again. In the {{3DS}} version, there are two new bonus dungeons, the [[Altar of Wroth]] and [[Memories Lane]]. The Altar of Wroth can be accessed after the destruction of [[Neos]] and visiting the depths of [[Dragon Graveyard]] to talk to Golding's ancestor and the Memories Lane is unlocked by the [[Lord of the Dragovians]] as a prize for completing one of the Dragovian Trials.

==={{DQ9}}===
The [[Tower of Nod]] becomes available after completing the main storyline and obtaining the [[Starflight Express]]. Furthermore, the extensive {{Grotto}} system functions as sort of bonus dungeon in and of itself, with absurdly [[List of treasure map bosses in Dragon Quest IX|powerful bosses]] waiting within rivaling those seen in previous games--not to mention those old foes themselves in the form of [[List_of_treasure_map_bosses_in_Dragon_Quest_IX#Legacy bosses|Legacy Bosses]].

==={{DQ11}}===
After enhancing [[Cetacea]] to reach the [[Calasmos|final boss]] in Act 3, the entrance of [[Drustan's labyrinth]] opens in the ruins of the [[Zwaardsrust region]]. The dungeon is composed of several recycled parts of the game with the [[Trial Isle]] as rest area in the middle of the dungeon. Three trials with powerful bonus bosses await, and wishes are granted based on defeating these bosses within a certain turn limit. The {{3DS}} and the {{Definitive Edition}} versions of the game feature the [[Echo Chamber]], which has different dungeons referencing areas and bosses of previous {{Main Series}} entries. These dungeons open up as [[Tockle]]s are found in the world.

A '''mini medal''' is an item hidden throughout many {{Main Series}} games. They are often found in chests of drawers, [[treasure chest]]s, and other searchable locations. Collected mini medals can be exchanged for various prizes in the game in which they are found, usually with the [[Medal King]] or a similar monarch-themed character.

Mini medals first appeared in {{Dragon Quest IV}}, where 32 mini medals could be found and exchanged at [[Minikin's Dominion]]. Since then, mini medals appear in every mainline {{Main Series}} game, and several spin-offs, with mini medals being retroactively added in the remakes of the series' first three entries. Mini medals usually appear in finite quantities in most games, but are sometimes also obtainable as dropped items from monsters. Depending on a game, receiving all items from a mini medal exchange requires all mini medals in the game, whilst in others, the quantity of mini medals available is greater than that required for all items.

==Prizes==

Only found in the Japanese version of the game, they can be obtained by doing the daily quest, randomly by completing quests, and as event rewards. There are two reward lists, one that is permanent and another that changes every few months. In both cases, players can obtain rare materials and cosmetic equipment, such as the outfit of the hero of {{Dragon Quest Swords}}. One of the most important mini medal reward is the scroll that unlocks the Brave Knight vocation, a very powerful offensive vocation.

There are also ''dark medals'' and ''super dark medals'', obtained by defeating Fiend-difficulty and Archfiend-difficuly foes. Both of these types of medal allows the players to obtain rare materials and exclusive cosmetic.

==={{DQTact}}===
Mini medals can be earned by meeting certain requeriments when finishing quests or from breaking pots and opening chests in quests. Mini medals can be given to [[King Maximog]] in exchange for new units, rare materials, and equipment.

A '''mini medal''' is an item hidden throughout many {{Main Series}} games. They are often found in chests of drawers, [[treasure chest]]s, and other searchable locations. Collected mini medals can be exchanged for various prizes in the game in which they are found, usually with the [[Medal King]] or a similar monarch-themed character.

Mini medals first appeared in {{Dragon Quest IV}}, where 32 mini medals could be found and exchanged at [[Minikin's Dominion]]. Since then, mini medals appear in every mainline {{Main Series}} game, and several spin-offs, with mini medals being retroactively added in the remakes of the series' first three entries. Mini medals usually appear in finite quantities in most games, but are sometimes also obtainable as dropped items from monsters. Depending on a game, receiving all items from a mini medal exchange requires all mini medals in the game, whilst in others, the quantity of mini medals available is greater than that required for all items.

==Prizes==
===''[[Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake|Dragon Quest I HD-2D Remake]]''===
Mini medals can be traded in at the [[Citadel of the Monarch of Medals]].

A '''Bonus dungeon''' is a location in a {{Main Series}} game, usually accessible only after completing the main storyline of the game. It is considered additional ''bonus'' content to the main content of the game and typically features special rewards, challenges, or Easter eggs.

The concept of a bonus dungeon first appeared in {{DQ5}}, and at least one has appeared in subsequent installment of the series, as well as several remakes of past titles.

==Appearances==

==={{DQ2HD}}===
Two new bonus dungeons, the [[Cave of the Dwarves]] and the [[Cave of Confusion]] appears after defeating Malroth. At the very bottom of the 25 floors of this dungeon lies the [[Sphere of Light]] to be handed over to [[Dragonlord's great-grandson]] to fight him.

Another bonus dungeon is [[Citadel Tower]] leading from {{Cloudsgate Citadel 3}} up to [[Xenlon]], though this is identical to {{III}} apart from different treasure (indeed, the tower music from {{III}} plays rather than that of {{II}}). This is altogether a better place for grinding, as one can easily zoom to an inn and then back to the Citadel Tower, especially while building up the strength to face all 25 levels of treasure hunting in the Cave of Confusion.

==={{DQ3}}===
Both the {{Super Famicom}} and {{Game Boy Color}} versions contain a bonus dungeon named as [[??? (Dragon Quest III)|???]] that is accessible from the [[Castle of the Dragon Queen]] after defeating [[Zoma]]. A lone [[Baramonster]] appears at the end of the dungeon, which in turn leads to {{Cloudsgate Citadel 3}} (Zenithia). The dungeon is a cave made up of layouts from the previous dungeons. The second part of the dungeon, the [[Citadel Tower]], follow Cloudsgate Citadel where at the end awaits the dragon [[Xenlon]], who can grant few wishes if the {{Party 3}} can defeat her in a strict limit of time.

In the {{Game Boy Color}} version, the spot that was occupied by [[Ramia]] in [[Rimland]] will become a portal to the [[Ice Cave]], a second Bonus Dungeon with its [[Gran Dragon|own boss]]. The entrance will become available after making a wish to [[Xenlon]] to open it.

==={{DQ3HD}}===
The [[Temple of Trials]] takes the place of the forgotten Ice Cave, and is unlocked in the same manner. All monsters that were present in the portable-exclusive bonus dungeon have returned after a long absence, with the Grand Dragon once more taking it's place as the game's ultimate superboss.

==={{DQ4}}===
The remakes of the fourth title introduced the {{Fungeon 4}} and Chapter Six. Located beneath [[The Azimuth]], this immense and strange dungeon featured many creatures from later games and culminated with the bizarre bonus bosses [[Chow Mein and Foo Yung]]. After defeating them the first time, a side quest starts that enables the player to resurrect an [[Rose|individual]] and recruit a {{Psaro 9}} as a {{Party 4}} member. The bonus bosses can be fought again to obtain [[Pandemonic Equipment|special gear exclusive to the new character]].

==={{DQ5}}===
The first bonus dungeon included in the original release is [[Estark's Labyrinth]], which contains the eponymous superboss [[Estark]] as a cameo from {{IV}}. In all remakes, after defeating [[Estark]] a special {{T'n'T}} board aptly named "Stark Raving Mad" will be made available to the player; if the player manages to reach the finish square, it unlocks two [[Starkers|unique]] and [[Rebjørn|powerful]] [[Monster recruitment|monster companions]].

==={{DQ6}}===
After defeating the [[Mortamor|final boss]], if the {{Party 6}} have between them reached the fifth rank of every single {{Vocation}}, including the secret {{Dragon V}} and [[Liquid metal slime (vocation)|Liquid metal slime]], then they can enter the {{Fungeon 6}} through the back chamber of {{Alltrades Abbey 6}} in the [[Upper World]]. Besides taking the {{Hero 6}} and {{Party 6}} to a grim mirror of [[Weaver's Peak]], with some of the rarest items for purchase, the {{Fungeon 6}} is home to one of the most powerful {{MFamilies}}s in the entire series, the demon lord who destroyed [[Castle Graceskull]]: the great and terrible [[Nokturnus]]. If the {{Party 6}} can defeat him within 20 turns, the player will be treated to a very special ending variant of the final battle against [[Mortamor]].

==={{DQ7}}===
The seventh title features two bonus dungeons to spelunk once the demonlord is vanquished: the [[Cave to Another World]] and the [[Cave to Yet Another World]]. Both of these extras require their own sets of [[Fragment]]s to be amassed and assembled in the [[Shrine of Mysteries]], and consist of recycled areas explored earlier in the game with more powerful monsters and greater treasures. At the end of the first bonus dungeon is [[Numen|a deity]], who will offer the {{Party 7}} a friendly bout after congratulating them for their undertakings. The fight at the end of the second dungeon is the quartet of elementals: the [[Earth Spirit]], [[Fire Spirit]], [[Water Spirit]], and [[Wind Spirit]]. They aggressively defend the humble dwelling of the first bonus boss and will not even allow the warriors of Eden to approach it.

==={{DQ8}}===
The bonus dungeons are composed of the [[Dragovian Path]], followed by the [[Heavenly Dais]] with the [[Dragovian Sanctuary]] serving as rest area between the two places – the latter featuring a sidequest that uncovers {{Eight}}'s heritage. After defeating the [[Lord of the Dragovians]], the Dragovian Trials become available and a new ending occurs after defeating [[Rhapthorne|the final boss]] again. In the {{3DS}} version, there are two new bonus dungeons, the [[Altar of Wroth]] and [[Memories Lane]]. The Altar of Wroth can be accessed after the destruction of [[Neos]] and visiting the depths of [[Dragon Graveyard]] to talk to Golding's ancestor and the Memories Lane is unlocked by the [[Lord of the Dragovians]] as a prize for completing one of the Dragovian Trials.

==={{DQ9}}===
The [[Tower of Nod]] becomes available after completing the main storyline and obtaining the [[Starflight Express]]. Furthermore, the extensive {{Grotto}} system functions as sort of bonus dungeon in and of itself, with absurdly [[List of treasure map bosses in Dragon Quest IX|powerful bosses]] waiting within rivaling those seen in previous games--not to mention those old foes themselves in the form of [[List_of_treasure_map_bosses_in_Dragon_Quest_IX#Legacy bosses|Legacy Bosses]].

==={{DQ11}}===
After enhancing [[Cetacea]] to reach the [[Calasmos|final boss]] in Act 3, the entrance of [[Drustan's labyrinth]] opens in the ruins of the [[Zwaardsrust region]]. The dungeon is composed of several recycled parts of the game with the [[Trial Isle]] as rest area in the middle of the dungeon. Three trials with powerful bonus bosses await, and wishes are granted based on defeating these bosses within a certain turn limit. The {{3DS}} and the {{Definitive Edition}} versions of the game feature the [[Echo Chamber]], which has different dungeons referencing areas and bosses of previous {{Main Series}} entries. These dungeons open up as [[Tockle]]s are found in the world.

==Etymology==
*The exotoga is named after the exosphere, which is the uppermost layer of the Earth's atmosphere. It and the rest of the togas in its line are named after the various layers of the atmosphere.
*The use of the word ''Souten'' (そうてん) in Japanese can be interpreted as the katakana spelling of two different kanji, being 蒼天 which means clear skies, and 早天 which describes the early dawn. The reference to the exosphere in the English localization pulls double-duty and refers to both kanji in that the exosphere is the first layer of the atmosphere to receive sunlight during dawn and is so thin that cloud formations cannot form at the layer and is thus "clear".

Grand Dragon

The '''Grand Dragon''' is a {{MFamilies}} that first appeared in the {{Game Boy Color}} remake of {{DQ3}}. It serves as the definitive superboss, surpassing both [[Zoma]] and [[Xenlon]] in difficulty.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
The Gran Dragon can be found in the deepest level of the {{GBC}} Exclusive [[bonus dungeon]], the [[Ice Cave]]. In order to make it to the Gran Dragon, The {{Hero 3}} must have the first 155 Bronze [[Monster Medal]]s, and the first 155 Silver [[Monster Medal]]s.

The GranD Dragon attacks exactly as [[Xenlon]] does. Defeating him for the first time merits rewarding The {{Hero 3}} with the [[Rubiss sword]]. Defeating him in under 18 turns will result in it awarding The {{Hero 3}} with his own [[Monster Medal]]s. Talking to the Gran Dragon after obtaining all Gold [[Monster Medal]]s results in the hydra congratulating the player for their hard work, then falling asleep.

Defeating Grand Dragon within 20 turns yields no reward beyond his complimenting the player and the [[Grand Medal]], an item that only serves as a bragging right.

Unlike [[Xenlon]], Grand Dragon has a lower resistance to Confusion than Sleep, making it a better ailment to inflict on him if going for [[Persecutter]] for high damage.

==Trivia==
*Originally the requirement for battling the Gran Dragon was to have all 164 Gold [[Monster Medal]]s (as well as all 164 of the Bronze and Silver Medals).
*Grand Dragon remained exclusive to the GBC port of ''Dragon Quest III'' for sixteen years until returning to the series in ''Joker 3'' in 2016.

The '''goddess ring''' is a recurring accessory in the {{DQSeries}} which first appeared in the {{Super Famicom}} remake of {{DQ3}}.

It generally increases {{Wisdom}} by a large number, as well as allowing the wearer to recover {{MP}} on the overworld by walking (similar to the [[happy hat]]).

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
A goddess ring can be sold for 12,750 [[gold]] coins. It has a {{Defense}} bonus of +22 (except in the [[Nintendo Switch]] release), increases {{Wisdom}} by 33 points, and restore 1 {{MP}} for every four steps walked when equipped. The {{Hero 3}}, [[Gadabout]]s, [[Mage]]s, [[Martial Artist]]s, [[Merchant]]s, [[Priest]]s, [[Thief|Thieves]], [[Sage]]s, and [[Warrior]]s can equip it. The ring is found at the zenith of {{Cloudsgate Citadel 3}}, on the ground to the left of the divine dragon [[Xenlon]].

==={{DQ4}}===
The goddess ring was added in the 2001 {{PSX}} remake. It increases {{Wisdom}} by 33, and restores {{MP}} while walking. It can be equipped by {{Hero 4}}, [[Alena]], [[Kiryl]], {{Maya}} and {{Meena}}. It is of particular interest for the {{Hero 4}}, as unlike [[Kiryl]], {{Maya}} and {{Meena}} he can't equip the [[Happy Hat]], and unlike [[Alena]], he can benefit from the increased {{Wisdom}} and {{MP}} recovery.

It can be found in [[Baron's Folly]].

==={{DQ7}}===
A goddess ring can be sold for 8,500 [[gold]] coins, but not bought. It raises style by 40 points and {{Wisdom}} by 33. It recovers 1 {{MP}} for every 2 steps, making it superior to the [[Happy Hat]] in this game (which recovers 1 {{MP}} for every 4 steps). {{Maribel}}, [[Sir Mervyn]], and [[Aishe]] can equip it.

One can be acquired from a [[treasure chest]] in [[Cave to Yet Another World]]. It also has a 1/256 chance of being dropped by an [[emperor slime]].

==={{DQ8}}===
The goddess ring provides a {{Wisdom}} boost of +20, and increases resistances to [[Fuddle]], [[Paralysis]], and [[Snooze]]. Restores {{MP}} while walking on the field. It can be created through [[alchemy]] by combining one ingot of [[orichalcum]] with a [[recovery ring]], and can be sold for 25,000 [[gold]] coin.

'''Orichalcum''' is a key recurring item in the series starting from {{Dragon Quest III}}.

It is a mythical metal harder than any other known substance, and is typically used to create powerful weapons and/or armor in the games in which it appears. This is done using processes such as [[alchemy]] and [[Sword tempering in Dragon Quest Swords|sword tempering]].

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
Orichalcum is needed to reforge the [[Sword of Kings]]. To accomplish this, retrieve the unrefined ingot from the stables in [[Damdara]] and sell it to the [[Jipang|Jipanese]] blacksmith in [[Kol]] for 22500 {{Gold}}. The legendary sword can then be purchased from the town's item shop for 35000 {{Gold}}.

==={{DQ8}}===
Orichalcum is an ingredient of the alchemization items such as the [[Sage's stone]], [[Meteorite bracer]], [[Metal king shield]], [[Metal king armour]], [[Liquid metal sword]], [[Megaton hammer]] and [[Goddess ring]].

The almighty azure alloy can be found in the [[Godbird's Eyrie]] (light world), the [[Black Citadel]], automatically dropped by [[Ruin]], exchanged for 83 [[Mini medal]]s, and found a chest in the post-game Heavenly Dais. Additionally, monsters [[Metal king slime]] ({{fraction|1|256}}) and [[Pandora's box]] ({{fraction|1|128}}). Using [[Yangus]]' ''Stainless Steal Sickle'' with the [[Skull helm]] will help against the latter, but will lower the acquirement rate to {{fraction|1|256}}. In the {{3DS}} version, three more pieces of orichalcum can be obtained; one by filling out the Munchie card in [[Cameron's Codex]], another in the [[Altar of Wroth]], and one more in [[Memories Lane]].

==={{DQ9}}===
Orichalcum is again a crucial component in several [[List of alchemy recipes in Dragon Quest IX|alchemy recipes]]. It can be acquired in treasure chests of [[List of treasure map treasure chest ranks in Dragon Quest IX|rank 9 and 10]] in treasure map grottos, found inside a red chest in the cave on the lonely coast, near Apus Major's throne in a red chest, purchased for 15 [[Mini medal]]s a piece from [[Cap'n Max Meddlin']] after completing the standard reward list, and it can be dropped by a [[Gem slime]] ({{fraction|1|256}}) as well as [[Greygnarl|Greygnarl (Grotto)]] (5%).

It is used to create:
*Metal slime equipment
*Liquid metal slime equipment
*Metal king slime equipment
*[[Erdrick Equipment]]
*[[Orichalcum claws]]
*[[Orichalcudgel]]
*[[Sage's stone]]

Game description:'' A highly prized mineral of magnificent hardness. Alchemise it!''

==={{DQ10}}===
{{Stub}}

==={{DQ11}}===
Orichalcum is a plot item in this game, required to forge the [[Sword of Light]]. It can be obtained in the [[Battleground]], specifically in the area labeled "Overlooked Cavern" on the map. The orichalcum is one of the three items the party needs to forge the Sword of Light (the other two being the [[Forging Hammer]] and [[Crucible key]]). Finding it also triggers a humorous cutscene in which [[Erik]] gets overexcited about its value.

{{spoiler|start}}
In Act 3, it is also possible to obtain smaller chunks of Orichalcum as ingredients for certain late-game [[Fun-Size Forge]] recipes such as [[Legate's blade]], [[Minerva's tiara]], [[Meteorite Bracer]] and [[Elfin Charm]]. These can be collected from sparkly spots behind a door in the Battleground locked with the [[Ultimate Key]]. It is necessary to give one of these chunks to the blacksmith in [[Hotto]] in order for him to forge the [[Sword of Kings]].

The important lump of orichalcum from Act 2 can also be regained in Act 3, by looking in the same spot as before, although no cutscene triggers. This is needed to reforge the [[Sword of Light]] in Act 3. Both the [[Sword of Light]] and [[Sword of Kings]] are needed if the player wishes to forge the optional but very powerful [[Supreme Sword of Light]]. In {{Dragon Quest XI S}}, this more important lump is called ''rarefied'' orichalcum, probably to differentiate it from the less important chunks available in Act 3.

Orichalcum is used as ammunition for the [[Schleiman tank|Schleiman Tank]], and may be used in alchemy to create other ammunition, such as the [[Orichalcum slime]].

==={{DQSwords}}===

==={{DQTAoD}}===
Orichalcum is a extremely rare and durable metal, said to be created by the gods. Objects crafted from orichalcum include the Demon Dragon Blade (wielded by the Dragon Knight), the Sword of Champions (initially a tournament prize, but stolen and wielded by [[Hadlar]]), and the Crown of Champions (gifted to [[Dai]] at the start of the series). The Crown is eventually melted down to serve as raw materials for Dai's personal weapon, the Sword of Dai.

Demon King [[Vearn]] also owns a set of orichalcum chess pieces, five of which (a pawn, knight, rook, bishop and queen) are animated by [[Hadlar]] to create a group of powerful warriors known as the Hadlar Royal Guard. Later [[Vearn]] also animates the king piece as a minor antagonist, served by mindless golems created from the remaining pawns.

==Etymology==
*Orichalcum comes from Greek mythology, specifically Plato's tales of the fabled Atlantis. The original word, ''Oreichalkos'', translates directly to "mountain copper", though the material is said to have been several times more durable. It's value was second only to gold, and it was used in the construction of sacred temples and government buildings.

'''Zenithium''' is a mythical metal that is all but unknown to mortalkind, and boasts durability surpassing even the storied [[orichalcum]].

The existence of Zenithium is first alluded to by one of the [[robbin' 'oodlum]]s working as a miner in the [[Quagmire Cave]]. The ore is found in the depths of [[Gaia's Navel]] off of the beaten path that leads to the [[Blue Orb]], and when presented to the [[Dwarves|dwarf]] living in his [[Shrine of the Dwarf|eponymous shrine]] he will use it to reforge [[Ortega's Helm]] into the [[Auroral Helm]].

==={{DQB}}===

Zenithium appears in the final chapter of the game as the most durable ore available to the [[Builder (Dragon Quest Builders)|Builder]]. It is key substance from which the [[Auroral Armour]], [[Hero's Shield]], and many other objects are forged from.

==={{DQB2}}===
Zenithium serves the same role in the sequel, being the material necessary for the [[Builder (Dragon Quest Builders 2)|Builder]] to craft the ultimate equipment.

==Etymology==
*''Zenith'' refers to the highest point above the observer's horizon attained by a celestial body. In essence, the word Zenithium means "the loftiest metal"
*The simpler Japanese name, ''blue metal'' (ブルーメタル), is taken from the blue colouration of the armour, helm, and shield of Erdrick and was chosen because these items have never corroded or weaken over time. This contrasts the [[Sword of Kings]], which is made of the comparatively weaker orichalcum and must be reforged in multiple titles

==Trivia==
*The first appearance of Zenithium was in the 1989 Item Storybook (アイテム物語), a picture book that explained the origins of several popular items in the series' early days. Zenithium is mentioned in the first story where it is described as a divine mineral found only in the realm of the Gods, and has the miraculous property of healing the wounds of anyone who stays in contact with a piece. It is revealed that the [[Auroral Armour]] was forged from Zenithium, explaining how it heals the wearer with every step and why it never corrodes in the centuries between the [[Erdrick Trilogy]] games<ref>アイテム物語, ISBN4-900527-24-6 C0276 P880E</ref>.

'''Erdwin's Shield''' once belonged to the hero of legend, the late [[Erdwin]]. It bears more than a passing resemblance to the [[Hero's Shield]], even featuring a runic inscription that spells out the name "Roto" in English, being the Japanese equivalent of the [[Erdrick]] title. The meaning of this similarity is left up to the player's imagination. It is the best shield that the Luminary can equip, protecting against common elemental attack, gives the highest defensive buff offered by any equipable shield the Hero can use, and restores MP, allowing the Luminary to spam his most powerful offensive abilities at little to no MP cost.

Erdwin Equipment

2026-05-14T12:49:47Z

GerikZ5: /* Gallery */

[[File:XI Hero luminary of legend cgi.png|right|thumb|150px|"Luminary of Legend"]]
The '''Erdwin Equipment''' is a set of powerful armaments from ''[[Dragon Quest XI]]'' once belonging to the Luminary of Legend, [[Erdwin]]. The [[Hero (Dragon Quest XI)|Luminary]], being a reincarnation of Erdwin, is the only one that can equip the items.

Just like Erdwin himself, the set is essentially modeled after the equipment belonging to The {{Hero 3}} of Dragon Quest III, and consists of a coronet, a tunic, and a sword and a shield. Despite the seemingly mundane nature of the tunic and coronet, the set is easily amongst the best in the game.
==Appearances==
==={{DQ11}}===
Erdwin's heraldry consists of the following articles, all but one of which are option acquisitions:
*[[Super Sword of Light|The super sword of light]]
*[[Erdwin's Tunic]]
*[[Erdwin's Coronet]]
*[[Erdwin's Shield]]

The super sword of light is held in the heart of [[Yggdrasil]], with the game's first act being the quest to obtain it. It is tied to the story of the game's second act where the demon [[Mordegon]] steals and corrupts the blade into the [[Sword of Shadows]], necessitating the creation of a replacement that must be forged in the fires of [[Mt. Huji]] from a specific chunk of [[Orichalcum]] found in the depths of [[The Battleground]]. The only tool suitable for the job is [[The forging hammer|The Forging Hammer]], which is owned by the [[Sultan of Gallopolis]]. This new blade is dubbed the [[Sword of Light]], and can be further upgraded into the [[Supreme Sword of Light]].

Erdwin's shield is the reward for presenting 100 [[Mini medals|mini medals]] to principal [[Maxime Médaillé]] at [[L'Académie]], with most players accomplishing this in the third act of the game. Erdwin's tunic and coronet are found within different sections of the ''Luminary's Trial'' portion of [[Drustan's Labyrinth]]; the tunic is found in a chest behind a giant door with a red sigil located on the dungeon's first floor first floor and the coronet is on the third floor.

===''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''===
Pieces of Erdwin's Equipment appear in ''Ultimate'':
*The Hero of ''Dragon Quest XI'' wields the Supreme Sword of Light and Erdwin's Shield.
*Kirby gains Erdwin's Coronet as a hat after copying any version of the Hero.

==Trivia==
*Fans have noted the designed of the sword of light and Erdwin's shield are identical to the [[Sword of Kings]] and the [[Hero's shield]], with the latter even being inscribed with runes that spell out "Roto". What this means for the connection between ''III'' and ''XI'' is left up to the player's imagination in [[Yuji Hori]]'s signature writing style.

Dragon Warrior Equipment

GerikZ5:

The '''Dragon Warrior Equipment''' (竜戦士装備 ryu senshi soubi) is a set of knight armour with dragon embellishments found in {{Dragon Quest IX}}, and is one of the game's sets of legendary equipment. Unlike most legendary gear in the series the Dragon Warrior set is totally unmissable, being given to the player by the wizened wyrm [[Greygnarl]] in his hom on [[Magmaroo|Mt. Magmaroo]]. The reason for this is ue to a dramatic cutscene taking place shortly after, with the rendered model for the equipment filling in for the player.

Masking the player's customized appearance this way allows the event to play out without breaking the player's immersion by not depicting their avatar.

Zenithian Equipment

2026-05-14T12:32:52Z

GerikZ5:

[[File:ZenithianEquipment.jpg|thumb|The Zenithian Equipment, as seen in Square Enix's [[Dragon Quest Legend Items Gallery]] merchandise series.]]
The '''Zenithian Equipment''' (天空の装備, 伝説の武具) is a set of crucial items in {{Dragon Quest IV}}, {{Dragon Quest V}}, consisting of a [[Zenithian Sword|sword]], [[Zenithian Shield|shield]], [[Zenithian Armour|armour]] and [[Zenithian Helm|helmet]]. Only the legendary Hero can equip the armaments, and the story cannot advance until the entire set is obtained.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ4}}===
The Zenithian Equipment makes its debut in the fourth game of the series. Contrasting the optional [[Erdrick Equipment]], the entire set must be collected by the player in order to gain access to the [[Stairway to Zenithia]] and reach the game's finale. Each piece is among the best of its kind in the game, rivaled only by the [[Metal slime family|metal slime family]] equipment and the [[Pandemonic Equipment]] found in the remakes.

The sword is found in the branches of the [[World Tree (Dragon Quest IV)|World Tree]], with the lost [[Zenithian]] known as [[Orifiela]] guiding the player towards it. This will typically be the last piece of the set that players obtain as reaching the World Tree requires the use of the [[Balloon|hot-air balloon]].

The other pieces of the set can be obtained in short order as soon as the player has obtained the ship very early in [[Dragon Quest IV Chapter 5|Chapter 5]]; the helm is awarded for answering the king of [[Canalot]]'s call for comedians, armour is hidden in the [[Briny Lair]] to the northeast, and the shield is kept in the queendom of [[Femiscyra]]. Obtaining the helm is slightly more involved as it requires the player to use the [[magma staff]] taken from the [[Zamoksva]] treasury to clear the way to Femiscyra first.

==={{DQ5}}===
The Zenithian Equipment returns in the fifth game with a twist, as the [[Hero (Dragon Quest V)|player's avatar]] cannot equip a single piece himself; any attempts to do so result in the item draining the man's strength and feeling like an unbearable lead weight.

The player automatically obtains two of the four pieces of Zenithian Equipment over the course of the game and is expressly told of the location of the third, eliminating the possibility of players being stumped when trying to find them. The sword is carried by none other than [[Pankraz]] and is kept safe into the Hero's adulthood by [[Saber|Saber the great sabrecat]], entering the player's possession when the childhood friends are reunited in the [[Scary Lair]]. The shield is owned by [[Rodrigo Briscoletti]], who offers it as wedding gift to any man who proves himself worthy to marry his beloved daughter [[Nera]]; Rodrigo becomes impressed with the Hero's caliber during the trials he's set and bequeaths the shield regardless of who the player chooses to marry.

The Zenithian Helm is owned by the Queen [[Cleohatra]] of [[Helmunaptra]], who tests the Hero by allowing him to don it. The Zenithian Armour is held by the [[Order of Zugzwang]], who keep it locked away in their [[Crocodilopolis|mountain stronghold]] to prevent it from falling into the hands of the chosen one. These two pieces of the set are entirely optional to obtain, though strongly recommended to do so. The game also introduces the [[Zenithian Tintinnabulum]] as a means to take to the air from nearly any location, removing the hassle of having to walk back to [[Ramia]] and the hot air balloon in the past two games.

==={{DQ9}}===
A cosplay replica of the Zenithian Helm is dropped by [[Dhoulmagus]], [[Estark]], and [[Nokturnus]]. It increases defence by +31 and can be equipped by any [[vocation]]. Additionally there is cosplay equipment based on the clothing of Solo and Sofia, the male and female Hero of ''Dragon Quest IV''; the [[Zenithian clothes]], [[Zenithian leotard]], [[Zenithian gauntlets]], [[Zenithian leggings]], and[[Zenithian trousers]]. These articles of clothing can also be equipped by any vocation.

==={{DQStars}}===
The Zenithian Sword appears in three stages, being the base form, the alchemized form, and the awakened form. The other three pieces of the set also appear in fixed states.

==={{DQTact}}===
The Zenithian Sword is an S-rank sword that can be acquired as part of the limited ''True Dragon Quest IV'' event by being part of a guild that has cleared Mega Boss Battle: [[Psaro the Manslayer]] in a Guild Co-op Battle at least once. It has an HP bonus of +55, an {{Attack}} bonus of +25, raises the Physical potency of [[Hero family|Hero]] units by 5% and has three slots for Alchemy Effects. The Zenithian Shield is an S-rank shield that can be acquired as part of the limited ''True Dragon Quest IV'' event by clearing Mega Boss Battle: [[Psaro the Manslayer]] on level 11 or higher. It has a {{Defense}} bonus of +15, raises the spell resistance of [[Hero family|Hero]] units by 5% and has three slots for Alchemy Effects. The Zenithian Helm is an S-rank helmet that can be acquired as part of the limited ''True Dragon Quest IV'' event by gathering migrants to [[Pioneer Town|The Haven]] through various challenges. It has a {{Defense}} bonus of +12, raises the physical potency of [[Hero family|Hero]] units by 2% and has three slots for Alchemy Effects. The Zenithian Armour is an S-rank piece of armour that can be acquired as part of the limited ''True Dragon Quest IV'' event by clearing the Zenithian Armour stages in Test of Courage on any difficulty. It has a {{Defense}} bonus of +20, raises the Breath Res of [[Hero family|Hero]] units by 2% and has three slots for Alchemy Effects.

===''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''===
The Zenithian Sword is the weapon of choice for the [[Hero (Super Smash Bros.)|Hero]] if the player selects Solo.

==Trivia==
*Some versions of the Zenithian sword and shield have [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Saxon_runes Anglo-Saxon runes] inscribed on them.
** The runes on the sword (around the gold sphere on the hilt) read "mitibikaresi mono", which is an approximate romanization of "導かれし者 ''michibikareshi mono''", meaning "the guided one". This also resembles the Japanese subtitle for ''Dragon Quest IV'', "導かれし者たち ''michibikareshi monotachi''", literally "the people who are shown the way".
** The runes on the shield (around the two gold spheres) are difficult to translate, as they only appear in early low-resolution concept art, and later interpretations of the shield omit these runes entirely.

==See also==
Though never outright confirmed, the Zenithian Equipment is strongly implied to be the future forms the legendary equipment seen in {{Dragon Quest VI}}:

*[[Shield of Valora]]
*[[Armour of Orgo]]
*[[Helm of Sebath]]

'''Erdrick's sword''' is the fabled blade wielded by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|mythical Hero]], passed on to his descendants to keep the realm of [[Alefgard]] free from terror.

The grip appears to be a blue fabric, and the counter weight is a gold sphere encasing a red jewel.
Prior to becoming part of [[Erdrick Equipment|the legendary Hero's heraldry]], this blade was known as the [[Sword of Kings|Sword of Kings]].

}}
The legendary blade is found in [[Dragonlord's Castle]], off of the path to the [[Dragonlord]]. Equipping it grants the player +40 {{Attack}}, a substantial boost from the [[Flame sword]]'s +28, though unlike the Flame sword it can neither do extra damage nor be used as a tool in combat. Certain third-party documentation claims that the sword is the only weapon that can cut the despot's scales, but this is completely false. That being said, it is strongly advised to acquire the blade to make the final confrontation much easier.

In the HD-2D remake of [[Dragon Quest I]], the legendary sword can be found implanted in the ground at the Dragonlord's Castle. It is the strongest weapon in the game and boosts attack for 140, with an added effect when used as an item, it will cast [[Kaswoosh]] at groups of enemies.

{{Descriptions
|DQ2=The sword of the legendary hero Erdrick.<ref>Android/iOS version, 2014</ref>
}}
The sword is once again found in the [[Dragonlord's Castle]], left there by the previous {{Hero 1}}. Unlike the armour, no one has attempted to restore the sword to its original glory, and the +40 {{Attack}} bonus means it will not be effective during the game's finale.

The sword can only be equipped by the {{Prince of Midenhall}} in the {{NES}}, while the [[Prince of Cannock]] can also equip the sword in the {{SFC}} and all ports of the remake after.

A century after the [[Hero (Dragon Quest I)|Hero]] landed the fatal blow on the Dragonlord using the Sword of Erdrick, the fabled blade has been left in the Dragonlord's Castle. Due to years of disuse, the legendary sword has been worn-out and [[faded blade|rusted over the years]], losing its former might. When the Dragonlord's great-grandson met the current Scions of Erdrick, he presented them their ancestor's legendary blade as a sign of trust and goodwill that he will support the scions in their fight against [[Hargon]]'s reign of terror. However, the blade can be restored to its former might. In order to do this, the player must find a descendant of the swordsmith in Kol. There, he will request the scions of Erdrick to retrieve a chunk of [[Orichalcum]], the same material used to forge the legendary blade by his ancestor, and finding information about the fabled ore in [[Tantegel]] from a thief. The thief will then give clues on the location of the Orichalcum in the hidden depths of the [[Craggy Cave]]. After retrieving the fabled ore, the blacksmith will then restore the fabled blade to its lustrous might.

In the postgame, after defeating the empowered Dragonlord's great-grandson in trial combat, he uses the power of the [[Sphere of Light]] to upgrade Erdrick's sword and shield to their "supreme" versions. With an attack bonus of +228, [[Erdrick's Supreme Sword]] is the most powerful weapon in the game, though it does fire or lightning damage (defaulting to the least resisted of the two), meaning some monsters are immune to it.

}}
Whoever pre-ordered the [[Nintendo 3DS]] Version of the game in Japan obtained the code to download Erdrick's sword. In game, the sword must be reforged in the [[Alchemy Pot]] to reach its true potential. '''Ye Olde Sword of Erdrick''' became available to download for international players on February 24, 2017. It has an attack bonus of +20 and can be equipped by the {{Hero 8}}, as well as [[Jessica Albert]] and [[Red]] if they have enough skill points in Knives. After the sword has been reforged, '''Erdrick's sword''' has an {{Attack}} bonus of +120, being second to the [[Dragovian Equipment#Dragovian king sword|Dragovian king sword]] and the most powerful sword for both Jessica and Red.

==={{DQ8}}===
When [[Rhapthorne]] battled against the Seven Sages in the distant past and was defeated, [[Empyrea]] the Godbird created a sceptre specifically designed to seal away Rhapthorne's soul. Rhapthorne's body was imprisoned inside the the Goddess Statue located at the [[The Holy Isle of Neos|Neos]]. The staff was transported to the [[Kingdom of Trodain|Castle of Trodain]], were it was kept and guarded for many, many years.

But one day a jester named [[Dhoulmagus]], deeply desiring to become the greatest magician of all time, learns about the sceptre from a book his teacher, Master Rylus, kept in his house. He then departs for Castle Trodain, disguising himself as a court jester, to entertain [[King Trode]] as a diversion. King Trode then allows Dhoulmagus to stay at the castle, and it is there when Dhoulmagus breaks into the chamber were the sceptre is kept. Dhoulmagus, overwhelmed by the sceptre's sheer power, gets possessed by the spirit of Rhapthorne and curses King Trode, his daughter [[Princess Medea]], and the rest of people in the castle, with the exception of [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|a single guardsman]]. This chain of events begins the game's plot, and the hunt for Dhoulmagus begins as the jester is used to pick off the descendants of the Seven Sages, starting with his former teacher. Even after Dhoulmagus' death, Rhapthorne is able to possess anyone who touches the staff and continues his killing spree.

Four characters will be taken hold of by Rhapthorne over the course of the adventure, being Dhoulmagus, [[Jessica Albert]], [[Sir Leopold]], and the templar [[Marcello]]. Jessica aside, each will murder one of the descendants of those who stood against Rhapthorne:

*Master Rylus - Descendant of Gozo; killed by Dhoulmagus
*Alistair Albert - Descendant of Alexander; killed by Dhoulmagus
*Abbot Francisco - Descendant of Eagus; killed by Dhoulmagus
*Mr. Golding - Descendant of Golding; killed by Dhoulmagus
*David - Descendant of Kupas; killed by possessed Sir Leopold, Dominoco's dog
*Marta - Descendant of Kadan; killed by possessed Sir Leopold
*The Lord High Priest - Descendant of Regnar; killed by possessed Marcello

Once the sceptre is void of the demon's spirit, Empyrea retrieves it and instructs the protagonists on how to destroy the barrier protecting the revived Rhapthorne. The Godbird breaks up the Sceptre into miniature ones, one for each party member, and each must then use their sceptre in the same turn while Rhapthorne attacks them. Once all four members use the Sceptre, a spirit of one of the [[Seven Sages]] is released from the sceptre. Once all Seven Sages are released, the barrier around Rhapthorne will be destroyed and the final fight will begin.

==={{DQ11}}===
The Godbird Sceptre becomes a weapon exclusive to 3DS and ''Dragon Quest XI S'' versions. It provides the highest Magical Might stat in the game, and is the reward for completing the third level of the Hall of Rememberance in [[Tickington]].

The sceptre appears as a two-star card in the game.

==Trivia==
*Marcello shows considerable resistance to Rhapthorne's influence, with the archfiend even stating his gratitude to the party for defeating the templar and making it easier to control him after their battle at Neos. This implies that possession is not automatic and that those with stronger wills and mental fortitude can save themselves from becoming a puppet. This is supported by Dhoulmagus' tenuous grasp on his sanity prior to taking the sceptre and Sir Leopold being an animal. Jessica is also controlled by Rhapthrone when she picks up the sceptre after the battle in the [[Dark Ruins]] but does not kill the remaining protagonists when given the chance, speaking the loaded sentence ''"I just don't have it in me"'' when confronted at Dominico's mansion. Her possession can be attributed to the mental and physical exhaustion after the battle to the death against Dhoulmagus as well as her sense of relief at having (seemingly) avenged the murder of her brother Alistair, and her withdraw from the first encounter with the party being her struggling against the manipulation
*The [[Rimland priestesses]] are show to wield staves identical to the godbird sceptre in the concept art of the mural seen in the opening of ''Dragon Quest III HD''

The '''dragon robe''' is a recurring robe in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series that was introduced in {{DQ6}}. It is a truly incredible garment made from a dragon's [[dragon's scale|scales]] and bones. The robe usually protects the wearer against fire and ice attacks and is often among the strongest protection for those who cannot don heavy armour.

==Characteristics==
The modern dragon robe is a flowing, verdant garment with puffy white sleeves. The skull of a dragon adorns the chest area along with a shoulder and neck guard. The original design seen only in the official guide book for the Super Famicom version of ''VI'' depicts something akin to an armored dress, with a breast guard made of green dragon scales with green dragon skulls for pauldrons, set over a high-collar yellow gown with a red cloth wrapped around the hip.

[[Hero (Dragon Quest VI)|The Hero]], [[Milly]], [[Ashlynn]], [[Nevan]] & [[Lizzie]] can wear it. The robe can be obtained in [[Greedmore Valley]] after the residents there are cured of their greed.

Interestingly, vintage art for the robe depicts it as a dress despite male characters being able to wear it. Considering the robe was redesigned as early as the 1996 remake of ''DQIII'', it is likely the feminine form was an oversight by [[Akira Toriyama|Toriyama]].

Cave of the Dwarves

The '''Cave of the Dwarves''' is a new dungeon and town to the south of [[Rimuldar]] in {{DQ1&2HD}}. true to its name, it is home to the [[dwarves]] of [[Alefgard]] and has the general appearance of a mine.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ1HD}}===
The {{Hero 1}} ventures into the Cave of the Dwarves after striking a deal with the [[Warlock of Doorlocks]]: the Hero will make the journey to the cave to retrieve the [[Dwarven Craftsman (Dragon Quest)|Dwarven Craftsman]] whom was assisting the old man until recently and the warlock will help concoct a cure for the ailing [[Captain (Dragon Quest)|Captain of the Tantegel knights]]. The Captain has been brought to near-death by the curse-like illness festering in the fetid swamps that have sullied Alefgard in the wake of the [[Dragonlord]]'s rising, and it so happens that the Dwarven Craftsman has been laid low by the same disease. The Craftsman has all but resigned himself to death but, when the hero urges him to not give into despair, he mentions the [[Dream-Whisperer|boss of the faeries]] said something about developing a cure for swamp sickness. Though he hasn't heard from her in a long time, this is enough of a lead for the Hero to act upon and he makes his way to the [[Faerie Village]] southeast of the [[Craggy Cave]].

After going through the whirlwind of dealing with the faeries, the Hero returns to the Cave of the dwarves with the cure―[[sunup syrup]]―which instantly gets the Craftsman back on his feet the moment its administered to him. Thanking the hero for saving his life, the dwarf hurries off to [[Rimuldar]] to resume working with the Warlock of Doorlocks immediately. Once the Hero enters the old man's workshop, he is rewarded with the [[magic key]]. It is worth noting that restoring the Craftsman will change the [[Zoom]] point from the cave's entrance to the dwarf town proper.

Much later, after learning of the abduction of the [[Priest of Cantlin]] to the [[Weeping Isle]] by the wretched [[Spiketail]], the Hero calls on the aid of the Dwarven Craftsman to repair the collapsed bridge to the isle. His fellow dwarves all volunteer to aid in the construction as well, happy to assist the human who saved one of their own. The bridge is repaired overnight and several dwarves linger in Cantlin, improving the relations between the two races. At this point the Hero has access to the shop within the Cave of the Dwarves as well. Speaking to dwarf NPCs in the cave will reveal that [[Nordy]] has become a legendary figure among their kind, and that some dwarves even swore fealty to [[Dragon Queen|dragonkind]] in ages past. One dwarf laments that not even their skills could cross the strait separating the [[Dragonlord's Castle]] from the rest of the archipelago, as the black isle is guarded by all manner of foul magic.

Players should remember to retrieve the [[wellspring crystal]] from the bottom of the well in the dwarf town, as it is necessary to create the [[water sigil]].

==={{DQ2HD}}===
The Cave of the Dwarves contains the entrance to the [[Cave of Confusion]], one of the two [[bonus dungeon]]s in the game. The [[Scions of Erdrick]] learned that the Cave of Confusion was created by the dwarves on request from the Goddess [[Rubiss]] Herself and that the [[Sphere of Light]] was safely hidden in its depths as they gathered the [[living memories]] and spoke to the [[Record-Keeper]] in the [[Faerie Palace (Dragon Quest II)|Faerie Palace]]. She informs the four that the dwarves have taken to hiding from the outside world much like her own fair folk in order to better protect the Cave of Confusion, and marks the location of their cave on the group's world map.

Upon reaching the dwarf town, one of them is startled that the four children can see him, and realizes that the prophecy his grandfather spoke of has arrived. The dwarf concludes that the four must be the descendants of the legendary Hero and are there to enter the Cave of Confusion, guiding them to the dungeon's entrance in the town well. Several dwarves warn the four children of the dangers of the Cave of Confusion, alerting the player to take the expedition seriously, while speak about incidental things. One cheeky dwarf tells the four that he likes to visit human settlements in secret, implying the folk have learned discarded their suspicion of humans since helping the lone Hero a century ago.

Note that the Zoom point for the Cave of the Dwarves is set to the entrance, and players wanting to skip the mine shaft dungeon should just Zoom to the Cave of Confusion.

Cloudsgate Citadel (bonus dungeon)

'''Cloudsgate Citadel''' is a [[bonus dungeon]] that appears in the 16-bit remake and ports of {{Dragon Quest III}}. It pays homage to the [[Cloudsgate Citadel|original flying castle]] of the {{Dragon Quest VI}}, which was the most recent title in the series when the {{SFC}} remake of ''Dragon Quest III'' was released in 1996. In the 16-bit remake and ports of ''Dragon Quest III'' as well as in {{DQ2HD}} and {{DQ3HD}}, it connects to [[Citadel Tower]], home of the mysterious dragon [[Xenlon]].

==Appearances==
==={{DQ2HD}}===
The citadel is smaller than in past games, but players need not go through a lengthy dungeon to reach it: simply entering the pillar of light in the [[Faerie Palace (Dragon Quest II)|Faerie Palace]] will teleport the [[Scions of Erdrick]] to King Zenith's domain.

====[[Tombola]]====
This tombola is only available after wishing for it. It awards some of the best equipment in the game after Erdrick's own.

The citadel is reached by stepping into the light of the stained glass windows at the [[Castle of the Dragon Queen]], although this only occurs if the player has already defeated [[Zoma]] and seen the ending, earning the "Erdrick" title on their save file on the loading screen. The player will then be taken to a [[??? (Dragon Quest III)|mysterious floating island]] that houses a lengthy and dangerous dungeon.

Many fierce {{MFamilies}}s populate this dungeon, including [[Baramos]] doppelgangers known as [[Baramonster]]s. The final room of the dungeon is a [[Monster Arena]], where the heroes fight inside the ring. Once this room is passed, the {{Party 3}} will enter a duplicate of the [[Queen of Isis]]' throne room. A monarch calling himself King Zenith sits on the throne, who congratulates the party for making it this far and alludes to a [[Xenlon|higher power]] awaiting them if they choose to brave climbing the [[Citadel Tower]] above the throne room.

====Treasures====
*[[Goddess ring]]
*[[Glombolero]]

A [[Troubadour]] in the throne room will ask the player three riddles, with each one rewarding the player with an incredible item:
*A [[Theddon|town]] in ruins. [[Beast claw|What]] glitters beneath the cross?
*An enclosed [[Cantlin|town]] in a [[Alefgard|dark world]]. [[Dark robe|It]] sleeps among the flowers...
*The [[Lozamii|gazer of stars]] notices not [[Sage's stone|what]] lies at his feet...

==={{DQ3HD}}===
The dungeon below the citadel remains unchanged aside from the alterations that affected the component sections, but the castle proper now has a distinct layout separate from Ibis and houses a merchant who sells rare items. A talking cat will inform the player of how many monsters remain to be [[List of recruitable monsters in Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake|rescued out in the world]] as a convenience for completionists, including the [[cureslime]] floating in the very same throne room.

|title = Hall of Remembrance
|type= Dungeon

}}

The '''Hall of Remembrance''' is a series of dungeons located in the [[Echo Chamber|Altar of an Elusive Age]] who is unlocked when all the other Alters in the Echo Chamber was completed. The layout of the Hall of Remembrance is a simple hallway that leads to a boss fight. It contains four levels, all leading up to a powerful superboss at the final level.

Completing all of the levels in the Definitive Edition unlock a golden portal in the skies north of [[Yggdrasil]], leading to the [[Timewyrm|last superboss of the game]].

==Bosses==
The dungeon has no monsters. Instead, the four floors contain powerful bosses that all represent the main antagonists of the mainline ''Dragon Quest'' series.
*First level - [[Lord Dragon]], [[Wyrmalroth]], and [[Zomaiden]]
*Second level - [[Psaroid]], [[Nimclops]] and [[Mortamammoth]]
*Third level - [[Orgodelotl]] and [[Hoopthorne]] / [[Hunkorvus]] and [[Nelgelas]] (fought immediately after)
*Final level - [[End of Time]]

Bonus dungeon

2026-05-13T19:41:39Z

GerikZ5: /* {{DQ9}} */

A '''Bonus dungeon''' is a location in a {{Main Series}} game, usually accessible only after completing the main storyline of the game. It is considered additional ''bonus'' content to the main content of the game and typically features special rewards, challenges, or Easter eggs.

The concept of a bonus dungeon first appeared in {{DQ5}}, and at least one has appeared in subsequent installment of the series, as well as several remakes of past titles.

==Appearances==

==={{DQ2HD}}===
Two new bonus dungeons, the [[Cave of the Dwarves]] and the [[Cave of Confusion]] appears after defeating Malroth.

Another bonus dungeon is [[Citadel Tower]] leading from {{Cloudsgate Citadel 3}} up to [[Xenlon]], though this is identical to {{III}} apart from different treasure (indeed, the tower music from {{III}} plays rather than that of {{II}}). This is altogether a better place for grinding, as one can easily zoom to an inn and then back to the Citadel Tower, especially while building up the strength to face all 25 levels of treasure hunting in the Cave of Confusion.

The [[Ghost Ship (Dragon Quest II)|Ghost Ship]] is an optional dungeon, though it can be accessed before you've beaten the game. Lastly, there are a few underwater mini-dungeons that usually involve an [[overkilling machine]] or similar guarding some treasure.

==={{DQ3}}===
Both the {{Super Famicom}} and {{Game Boy Color}} versions contain a bonus dungeon named as [[??? (Dragon Quest III)|???]] that is accessible from the [[Castle of the Dragon Queen]] after defeating [[Zoma]]. A lone [[Baramonster]] appears at the end of the dungeon, which in turn leads to {{Cloudsgate Citadel 3}} (Zenithia). The dungeon is a cave made up of layouts from the previous dungeons. The second part of the dungeon, the [[Citadel Tower]], follow Cloudsgate Citadel where at the end awaits the dragon [[Xenlon]], who can grant few wishes if the {{Party 3}} can defeat her in a strict limit of time.

In the {{Game Boy Color}} version, the spot that was occupied by [[Ramia]] in [[Rimland]] will become a portal to the [[Ice Cave]], a second Bonus Dungeon with its [[Gran Dragon|own boss]]. The entrance will become available after making a wish to [[Xenlon]] to open it.

==={{DQ3HD}}===
The [[Temple of Trials]] takes the place of the forgotten Ice Cave, and is unlocked in the same manner. All monsters that were present in the portable-exclusive bonus dungeon have returned after a long absence, with the Grand Dragon once more taking it's place as the game's ultimate superboss.

==={{DQ4}}===
The remakes of the fourth title introduced the {{Fungeon 4}} and Chapter Six. Located beneath [[The Azimuth]], this immense and strange dungeon featured many creatures from later games and culminated with the bizarre bonus bosses [[Chow Mein and Foo Yung]]. After defeating them the first time, a side quest starts that enables the player to resurrect an [[Rose|individual]] and recruit a {{Psaro 9}} as a {{Party 4}} member. The bonus bosses can be fought again to obtain [[Pandemonic Equipment|special gear exclusive to the new character]].

==={{DQ5}}===
The first bonus dungeon included in the original release is [[Estark's Labyrinth]], which contains the eponymous superboss [[Estark]] as a cameo from {{IV}}. In all remakes, after defeating [[Estark]] a special {{T'n'T}} board aptly named "Stark Raving Mad" will be made available to the player; if the player manages to reach the finish square, it unlocks two [[Starkers|unique]] and [[Rebjørn|powerful]] [[Monster recruitment|monster companions]].

==={{DQ6}}===
After defeating the [[Mortamor|final boss]], if the {{Party 6}} have between them reached the fifth rank of every single {{Vocation}}, including the secret {{Dragon V}} and [[Liquid metal slime (vocation)|Liquid metal slime]], then they can enter the {{Fungeon 6}} through the back chamber of {{Alltrades Abbey 6}} in the [[Upper World]]. Besides taking the {{Hero 6}} and {{Party 6}} to a grim mirror of [[Weaver's Peak]], with some of the rarest items for purchase, the {{Fungeon 6}} is home to one of the most powerful {{MFamilies}}s in the entire series, the demon lord who destroyed [[Castle Graceskull]]: the great and terrible [[Nokturnus]]. If the {{Party 6}} can defeat him within 20 turns, the player will be treated to a very special ending variant of the final battle against [[Mortamor]].

==={{DQ7}}===
The seventh title features two bonus dungeons to spelunk once the demonlord is vanquished: the [[Cave to Another World]] and the [[Cave to Yet Another World]]. Both of these extras require their own sets of [[Fragment]]s to be amassed and assembled in the [[Shrine of Mysteries]], and consist of recycled areas explored earlier in the game with more powerful monsters and greater treasures. At the end of the first bonus dungeon is [[Numen|a deity]], who will offer the {{Party 7}} a friendly bout after congratulating them for their undertakings. The fight at the end of the second dungeon is the quartet of elementals: the [[Earth Spirit]], [[Fire Spirit]], [[Water Spirit]], and [[Wind Spirit]]. They aggressively defend the humble dwelling of the first bonus boss and will not even allow the warriors of Eden to approach it.

==={{DQ8}}===
The bonus dungeons are composed of the [[Dragovian Path]], followed by the [[Heavenly Dais]] with the [[Dragovian Sanctuary]] serving as rest area between the two places – the latter featuring a sidequest that uncovers {{Eight}}'s heritage. After defeating the [[Lord of the Dragovians]], the Dragovian Trials become available and a new ending occurs after defeating [[Rhapthorne|the final boss]] again. In the {{3DS}} version, there are two new bonus dungeons, the [[Altar of Wroth]] and [[Memories Lane]]. The Altar of Wroth can be accessed after the destruction of [[Neos]] and visiting the depths of [[Dragon Graveyard]] to talk to Golding's ancestor and the Memories Lane is unlocked by the [[Lord of the Dragovians]] as a prize for completing one of the Dragovian Trials.

==={{DQ9}}===
The [[Tower of Nod]] becomes available after completing the main storyline and obtaining the [[Starflight Express]]. Furthermore, the extensive {{Grotto}} system functions as sort of bonus dungeon in and of itself, with absurdly [[List of treasure map bosses in Dragon Quest IX|powerful bosses]] waiting within rivaling those seen in previous games--not to mention those old foes themselves in the form of [[List_of_treasure_map_bosses_in_Dragon_Quest_IX#Legacy bosses|Legacy Bosses]].

==={{DQ11}}===
After enhancing [[Cetacea]] to reach the [[Calasmos|final boss]] in Act 3, the entrance of [[Drustan's labyrinth]] opens in the ruins of the [[Zwaardsrust region]]. The dungeon is composed of several recycled parts of the game with the [[Trial Isle]] as rest area in the middle of the dungeon. Three trials with powerful bonus bosses await, and wishes are granted based on defeating these bosses within a certain turn limit. The {{3DS}} and the {{Definitive Edition}} versions of the game feature the [[Echo Chamber]], which has different dungeons referencing areas and bosses of previous {{Main Series}} entries. These dungeons open up as [[Tockle]]s are found in the world.

Lord of the Dragovians

2026-05-12T20:32:40Z

GerikZ5: /* The Dragovian Trials */

{{Character
|Name=Lord of the Dragovians
|Game={{DQ8}}
|Image=[[File:Lord_of_the_Dragovians.png|190px]]
|Sprite=
|Japanese name={{tt|竜神王|Dragon God-King}}
|Roumaji=Ryūjin-ō
|Title=Lord
|Class=
|Race=[[Dragovian]]
|Age=Unknown
|}}

The '''Lord of the Dragovians''' is the most powerful member of the [[Dragovian]]s in {{DQ8}}.

After the tragic events of the recent past, he started to believe that [[human]]s and [[Dragovian]]s could never coexist and thus he cast a spell in himself in order to remain forever in his dragon form. This made him lose control over his mind and begin draining the life energy from the rest of the [[Dragovian]] population.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ8}}===
Just when the remaining [[Dragovian]]s were about to lose hope because none of them were able to stop their Lord, the {{Party 8}} arrived in the [[Dragovian Sanctuary]], and [[Chen Mui]] asks them for help.

After the {{Party 8}}'s first victory against him, the Lord of the Dragovians returns to his senses. Amazed and ashamed by the fact the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|same boy]] he and his [[Dragovian|people]] had estranged had saved his tribe from certain doom, he gives them the right to perform the Dragovian Trials: a series of battles against him in dragon form, where each victory allows access to one of the [[Dragovian]] treasures. Each time the Lord of the Dragovians is defeated, he morphs into an even stronger dragon for the following battle.

His six forms are the Vermillion Dragon, the Emerald Dragon, the Silver Dragon, the [[Golden Dragon]], the Darksteel Dragon, and the Divine Dragon. In the final Dragovian Trial, the {{Hero 8}} and the {{Party 8}} must beat all six dragon forms in a row, and then they must confront the final form, the Ultimate Dragon. Even in his weakest form, the Vermillion Dragon, the Lord of the Dragovians reveals himself as an opponent more challenging than any other in the game, including [[Rhapthorne]] himself.

As an homage to the first game of the series, the Lord of the Dragovians bears a striking resemblance to the [[Dragonlord]] of the first {{Dragon Quest}} game, as noted when the dragon stands upon his hind legs.

====The Dragovian Trials====
All dragon forms will drop a [[Seed of skill]] at a {{fraction|1|8}} rate (12.5%), meaning [[Yangus]]'s Stainless Steel Sickle has a 1/16 (6.25%) chance to nab it. On the bright side, the incredible bulk of the dragons means players can forgo the usual [[Skull helm]] strategy and slash away with abandon.

The Ultimate Dragon will only be fought once the boss marathon is complete; if the {{Party 8}} is wiped out, they will have to start from the beginning.

====Rewards====
*[[Dragovian Equipment]] (four pieces)
*Enhanced Alchemy Pot ({{PS2}})
*[[Hev|A special recruitable monster]] near castle [[Trodain]]
*[[Memories Lane]] ({{3DS}})
*10 Super [[seeds of skill]] ([[Cell phone]])

====Remake changes====
*The following changes were implemented in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of the game:
**Most of the Lord of the Dragovian's forms generally have higher stats.
**One [[Seed of skill]] will always drop the first time that each form of the Lord of the Dragovians is defeated, with his final form dropping a Super seed of skill.
**As the [[Alchemy Pot]] mixes items instantly from when it's introduced, the wish to enhance it is replaced with the request for a new dungeon, [[Memories Lane]].
*Though the [[Cell phone]] version is closer to the original game, it also includes the [[Alchemy Pot]]'s ability to mix items instantly from the beginning, thus the wish implemented in its place is to receive 10 Super [[seeds of skill]], and the only way to receive that particular item.

==Trivia==
*The Lord's staff bears a striking resemblance to the [[lightning staff]]'s original design.
*The colour scheme of the Ultimate Dragon is a reference to the true form of the [[Dragonlord]] (who bears similarities to the Lord of the Dragovians himself), along with a battle animation that looks similar to the [[Dragonlord]]'s original pose.
*If the player challenges the Lord with no weapons equipped on any {{Party 8}} members, then a special dialogue sequence will initiate where he will question if the {{Party 8}} is able to defeat him bare-handed. Furthermore, [[Trode|King Trode]] will compliment the {{Party 8}} in the [[Battle Records]] if they are victorious.

Lord of the Dragovians

{{Character
|Name=Lord of the Dragovians
|Game={{DQ8}}
|Image=[[File:Lord_of_the_Dragovians.png|190px]]

The '''Lord of the Dragovians''' is the most powerful member of the [[Dragovian]]s in {{DQ8}}.

After the tragic events of the recent past, he started to believe that [[human]]s and [[Dragovian]]s could never coexist and thus he cast a spell in himself in order to remain forever in his dragon form. This made him lose control over his mind and begin draining the life energy from the rest of the [[Dragovian]] population.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ8}}===
Just when the remaining [[Dragovian]]s were about to lose hope because none of them were able to stop their Lord, the {{Party 8}} arrived in the [[Dragovian Sanctuary]], and [[Chen Mui]] asks them for help.

After the {{Party 8}}'s first victory against him, the Lord of the Dragovians returns to his senses. Amazed and ashamed by the fact the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|same boy]] he and his [[Dragovian|people]] had estranged had saved his tribe from certain doom, he gives them the right to perform the Dragovian Trials: a series of battles against him in dragon form, where each victory allows access to one of the [[Dragovian]] treasures. Each time the Lord of the Dragovians is defeated, he morphs into an even stronger dragon for the following battle.

His six forms are the Vermillion Dragon, the Emerald Dragon, the Silver Dragon, the [[Golden Dragon]], the Darksteel Dragon, and the Divine Dragon. In the final Dragovian Trial, the {{Hero 8}} and the {{Party 8}} must beat all six dragon forms in a row, and then they must confront the final form, the Ultimate Dragon. Even in his weakest form, the Vermillion Dragon, the Lord of the Dragovians reveals himself as an opponent more challenging than any other in the game, including [[Rhapthorne]] himself.

As an homage to the first game of the series, the Lord of the Dragovians bears a striking resemblance to the [[Dragonlord]] of the first {{Dragon Quest}} game, as noted when the dragon stands upon his hind legs.

====The Dragovian Trials====
All dragon forms will drop a [[Seed of skill]] at a {{fraction|1|8}} rate (12.5%), meaning [[Yangus]]'s Stainless Steel Sickle has a 1/16 (6.25%) chance to nab it. On the bright side, the incredible bulk of the dragons means players can forgo the usual [[Skull helm]] strategy and slash away with abandon.

The Ultimate Dragon will only be fought once the boss marathon is complete; if the {{Party 8}} is wiped out, they will have to start from the beginning.

====Rewards====
*[[Dragovian Equipment]] (four pieces)
*Enhanced Alchemy Pot ({{PS2}})
*[[Hev|A special recruitable monster]] near castle [[Trodain]]
*[[Memories Lane]] ({{3DS}})
*10 Super [[seeds of skill]] ([[Cell phone]])

====Remake changes====
*The following changes were implemented in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of the game:
**Most of the Lord of the Dragovian's forms generally have higher stats.
**One [[Seed of skill]] will always drop the first time that each form of the Lord of the Dragovians is defeated, with his final form dropping a Super seed of skill.
**As the [[Alchemy Pot]] mixes items instantly from when it's introduced, the wish to enhance it is replaced with the request for a new dungeon, [[Memories Lane]].
*Though the [[Cell phone]] version is closer to the original game, it also includes the [[Alchemy Pot]]'s ability to mix items instantly from the beginning, thus the wish implemented in its place is to receive 10 Super [[seeds of skill]], and the only way to receive that particular item.

==Trivia==
*The Lord's staff bears a striking resemblance to the [[lightning staff]]'s original design.
*The colour scheme of the Ultimate Dragon is a reference to the true form of the [[Dragonlord]] (who bears similarities to the Lord of the Dragovians himself), along with a battle animation that looks similar to the [[Dragonlord]]'s original pose.
*If the player challenges the Lord with no weapons equipped on any {{Party 8}} members, then a special dialogue sequence will initiate where he will question if the {{Party 8}} is able to defeat him bare-handed. Furthermore, [[Trode|King Trode]] will compliment the {{Party 8}} in the [[Battle Records]] if they are victorious.

Bonus dungeon

2026-05-12T20:24:48Z

GerikZ5: /* {{DQ2HD}} */

A '''Bonus dungeon''' is a location in a {{Main Series}} game, usually accessible only after completing the main storyline of the game. It is considered additional ''bonus'' content to the main content of the game and typically features special rewards, challenges, or Easter eggs.

The concept of a bonus dungeon first appeared in {{DQ5}}, and at least one has appeared in subsequent installment of the series, as well as several remakes of past titles.

==Appearances==

==={{DQ2HD}}===
Two new bonus dungeons, the [[Cave of the Dwarves]] and the [[Cave of Confusion]] appears after defeating Malroth.

Another bonus dungeon is [[Citadel Tower]] leading from {{Cloudsgate Citadel 3}} up to [[Xenlon]], though this is identical to {{III}} apart from different treasure (indeed, the tower music from {{III}} plays rather than that of {{II}}). This is altogether a better place for grinding, as one can easily zoom to an inn and then back to the Citadel Tower, especially while building up the strength to face all 25 levels of treasure hunting in the Cave of Confusion.

The [[Ghost Ship (Dragon Quest II)|Ghost Ship]] is an optional dungeon, though it can be accessed before you've beaten the game. Lastly, there are a few underwater mini-dungeons that usually involve an [[overkilling machine]] or similar guarding some treasure.

==={{DQ3}}===
Both the {{Super Famicom}} and {{Game Boy Color}} versions contain a bonus dungeon named as [[??? (Dragon Quest III)|???]] that is accessible from the [[Castle of the Dragon Queen]] after defeating [[Zoma]]. A lone [[Baramonster]] appears at the end of the dungeon, which in turn leads to {{Cloudsgate Citadel 3}} (Zenithia). The dungeon is a cave made up of layouts from the previous dungeons. The second part of the dungeon, the [[Citadel Tower]], follow Cloudsgate Citadel where at the end awaits the dragon [[Xenlon]], who can grant few wishes if the {{Party 3}} can defeat her in a strict limit of time.

In the {{Game Boy Color}} version, the spot that was occupied by [[Ramia]] in [[Rimland]] will become a portal to the [[Ice Cave]], a second Bonus Dungeon with its [[Gran Dragon|own boss]]. The entrance will become available after making a wish to [[Xenlon]] to open it.

==={{DQ3HD}}===
The [[Temple of Trials]] takes the place of the forgotten Ice Cave, and is unlocked in the same manner. All monsters that were present in the portable-exclusive bonus dungeon have returned after a long absence, with the Grand Dragon once more taking it's place as the game's ultimate superboss.

==={{DQ4}}===
The remakes of the fourth title introduced the {{Fungeon 4}} and Chapter Six. Located beneath [[The Azimuth]], this immense and strange dungeon featured many creatures from later games and culminated with the bizarre bonus bosses [[Chow Mein and Foo Yung]]. After defeating them the first time, a side quest starts that enables the player to resurrect an [[Rose|individual]] and recruit a {{Psaro 9}} as a {{Party 4}} member. The bonus bosses can be fought again to obtain [[Pandemonic Equipment|special gear exclusive to the new character]].

==={{DQ5}}===
The first bonus dungeon included in the original release is [[Estark's Labyrinth]], which contains the eponymous superboss [[Estark]] as a cameo from {{IV}}. In all remakes, after defeating [[Estark]] a special {{T'n'T}} board aptly named "Stark Raving Mad" will be made available to the player; if the player manages to reach the finish square, it unlocks two [[Starkers|unique]] and [[Rebjørn|powerful]] [[Monster recruitment|monster companions]].

==={{DQ6}}===
After defeating the [[Mortamor|final boss]], if the {{Party 6}} have between them reached the fifth rank of every single {{Vocation}}, including the secret {{Dragon V}} and [[Liquid metal slime (vocation)|Liquid metal slime]], then they can enter the {{Fungeon 6}} through the back chamber of {{Alltrades Abbey 6}} in the [[Upper World]]. Besides taking the {{Hero 6}} and {{Party 6}} to a grim mirror of [[Weaver's Peak]], with some of the rarest items for purchase, the {{Fungeon 6}} is home to one of the most powerful {{MFamilies}}s in the entire series, the demon lord who destroyed [[Castle Graceskull]]: the great and terrible [[Nokturnus]]. If the {{Party 6}} can defeat him within 20 turns, the player will be treated to a very special ending variant of the final battle against [[Mortamor]].

==={{DQ7}}===
The seventh title features two bonus dungeons to spelunk once the demonlord is vanquished: the [[Cave to Another World]] and the [[Cave to Yet Another World]]. Both of these extras require their own sets of [[Fragment]]s to be amassed and assembled in the [[Shrine of Mysteries]], and consist of recycled areas explored earlier in the game with more powerful monsters and greater treasures. At the end of the first bonus dungeon is [[Numen|a deity]], who will offer the {{Party 7}} a friendly bout after congratulating them for their undertakings. The fight at the end of the second dungeon is the quartet of elementals: the [[Earth Spirit]], [[Fire Spirit]], [[Water Spirit]], and [[Wind Spirit]]. They aggressively defend the humble dwelling of the first bonus boss and will not even allow the warriors of Eden to approach it.

==={{DQ8}}===
The bonus dungeons are composed of the [[Dragovian Path]], followed by the [[Heavenly Dais]] with the [[Dragovian Sanctuary]] serving as rest area between the two places – the latter featuring a sidequest that uncovers {{Eight}}'s heritage. After defeating the [[Lord of the Dragovians]], the Dragovian Trials become available and a new ending occurs after defeating [[Rhapthorne|the final boss]] again. In the {{3DS}} version, there are two new bonus dungeons, the [[Altar of Wroth]] and [[Memories Lane]]. The [[Altar of Wroth]] can be accessed after the destruction of [[Neos]] and visiting the depths of [[Dragon Graveyard]] to talk to Golding's ancestor and the Memories Lane is unlocked by the [[Lord of the Dragovians]] as a prize for completing one of the Dragovian Trials.

==={{DQ9}}===
The [[Tower of Nod]] becomes available after completing the main storyline and obtaining the [[Starflight Express]]. Furthermore, the extensive {{Grotto}} system functions as sort of bonus dungeon in and of itself, with absurdly [[List of treasure map bosses in Dragon Quest IX|powerful bosses]] waiting within rivaling those seen in previous games--not to mention those old foes themselves in the form of {{Legacy Boss}}es.

==={{DQ11}}===
After enhancing [[Cetacea]] to reach the [[Calasmos|final boss]] in Act 3, the entrance of [[Drustan's labyrinth]] opens in the ruins of the [[Zwaardsrust region]]. The dungeon is composed of several recycled parts of the game with the [[Trial Isle]] as rest area in the middle of the dungeon. Three trials with powerful bonus bosses await, and wishes are granted based on defeating these bosses within a certain turn limit. The {{3DS}} and the {{Definitive Edition}} versions of the game feature the [[Echo Chamber]], which has different dungeons referencing areas and bosses of previous {{Main Series}} entries. These dungeons open up as [[Tockle]]s are found in the world.

Furthermore, the extensive {{Grotto}} system functions as sort of bonus dungeon in and of itself, with absurdly [[List of treasure map bosses in Dragon Quest IX|powerful bosses]] waiting within rivaling those seen in previous games--not to mention those old foes themselves in the form of {{Legacy Boss}}es.

==={{DQ11}}===
After enhancing [[Cetacea]] to reach the [[Calasmos|final boss]] in Act 3, the entrance of [[Drustan's labyrinth]] opens in the ruins of the [[Zwaardsrust region]]. The dungeon is composed of several recycled parts of the game with the [[Trial Isle]] as rest area in the middle of the dungeon. Three trials with powerful bonus bosses await, and wishes are granted based on defeating these bosses within a certain turn limit. The {{3DS}} and the {{Definitive Edition}} versions of the game feature the [[Echo Chamber]], which has different dungeons referencing areas and bosses of previous {{Main Series}} entries. These dungeons open up as [[Tockle]]s are found in the world.

Cave of Confusion

The '''Cave of Confusion''' is the largest bonus dungeon in {{DQ2HD}}, accessed in the [[postgame]] after beating [[Malroth]] and having "[[Erdrick]]" appended to the hero's name on the save file. The labyrinth was created by the [[dwarves]] of [[Alefgard]] on request from the Goddess [[Rubiss]], who sought a safe haven for the [[Sphere of Light]] to be stored so that the forces of darkness could never reach it.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ2HD}}===
The portal to the dungeon is found inside the well of the newly resurfaced [[Cave of the Dwarves]] to the south of [[Rimuldar]]. [[Zoom]] and [[Evac]] don't work inside the dungeon; it is a marathon challenge with only a few portals leading out of the dungeon scattered across 25 floors, and only one path, staircase, or pitfall on each level leads to the next, with all others leading back to the entrance to the level. Like many bonus dungeons, it is composed of parts of previous dungeons, including areas from {{DQ3HD}}. The regular monsters found within are among the most formidable in the Erdrick trilogy, including [[phoenix]]es, [[baramonster]]s, and [[king hydra]]s. Some monsters from the [[Ice Cave]] from the [[GBC]] version of [[Dragon Quest III]] (and probably more importantly, the [[Temple of Trials]]) also appear, such as [[golden gloom]]s, [[hardy hand]]s, and [[steely statue]]s.

The exit from each level can usually be found near a barrel, chest, or other container holding a paltry amount of gold. On some levels, it is near a [[pandora's box]].

At the end of the dungeon is the [[Sphere of Light]]. Bringing this to the [[Dragonlord's great-grandson]] will allow you to challenge him. If you win, he will upgrade [[Erdrick's sword]] and [[Erdrick's Shield|shield]] to their "Supreme" versions, and you will unlock the true ending (including a [[Malwrath|true final boss]]).

===Treasures===
Liberal use of the [[Snoop]] spell is necessary as a considerable number of treasure chests are [[pandora's box]]es lurking to ambush careless players.

Erdrick Equipment

2026-05-12T14:43:03Z

GerikZ5: /* Appearances */

[[File:DQ Museum Erdrick Equipment.png|right|thumb|350px|Life-sized replica of the set built for the 30th anniversary museum in 2016]]
The '''Erdrick Equipment''' is a set of powerful and crucially important items from the original [[Erdrick trilogy|trilogy]] of games. The equipment consists of the [[Erdrick's Sword|sword]], [[Erdrick's Shield|shield]], [[Erdrick's Armour|armour]] and [[Erdrick's Helmet|helmet]] belonging to the legendary hero [[Erdrick]].

In the first two games the items bear Erdrick's name as a part of his iconography, but in {{Dragon Quest III}} each piece has a distinct name: the [[Sword of Kings]], [[Auroral Armour]], and the [[Hero's Shield]]. No helmet exclusive to the hero existed in the original 8-bit version, but subsequent releases have added [[Ortega's Helm]] to fill in the gap.

==Appearances==
===''[[Dragon Quest]]''===
Erdrick's sword, armour, and mark debut in the seminal title, with the game's plot making the mark a mandatory acquisition. The sword and armour are entirely optional, albeit strongly recommended, and the fabled shield would not appear until the sequel. As helmets were not a distinct equipment type in the first game it is assumed that Erdrick's helm was included with the armour set.

The sword is held in the depths of the [[Dragonlord's Castle]] as a precaution on the scaled sovereign's part, and the armour is located in the ruins of [[Damdara]] where it is guarded by a [[Knight Aberrant|knight aberrant]]. The mark is found in the fetid swamp south of [[Cantlin]], being exactly 40 steps east and 70 steps south of [[Tantegel]].

In the HD-2D Remake, the armour and the sword are found in the same locations in the original game. The helm is found in the Western Isle, accessible only after Zalen visits the Shrine of Rain. The shield is found in [[Weeping Isle]] in a chest that requires the [[Ultimate key]] to unlock.

==={{DQ2}}===
The sword is once more found in the Dragonlord's castle, watched over by his [[Dragonlord's great-great-grandson|great-grandson]]. Though powerful, the sword will be eclipsed by several weapons the player encounters over the course of the adventure.

The mail is found in the third floor of the [[Cave to Rendarak|chasm leading to Rendarak]], in the bottom-rightmost section of the floor near a set of stairs. Erdrick's helmet is obtained by exchanging the Mark of Erdrick at the [[Sanctum|shrine]] southeast of Tantegel, and the mark itself being found in [[Midenhall]] behind a door requiring the [[Golden Key|golden key]] to open. In the HD-2D Remake, the chest containing the mark requires the Ultimate Key to open.

The shield is found in the castle of [[Cannock]], being watched over by an old man on a tiny islet. The golden key (Magic key in the HD-2D Remake) is required to open the door to gain access to it.
==={{DQ2HD}}===

The Sword can be reforged into its former glory with a piece of [[Orichalcum]] found in [[Craggy Cave]]. The quest to obtain it is only accessible after the [[Ultimate key]] is acquired. The sword is also required to gain access to the Shrine of Rain and the Lighthouse.

The Dragonlord's great-grandson will upgrade both the sword and the shield into [[Erdrick's supreme sword]] and [[Erdrick's Supreme Shield|Erdrick's supreme shield]] once he is beaten in battle.

While only the Prince of Midenhall can equip the equipment in the original versions of the game, it can be equipped by everyone in the HD-2D Remake and will change their appearance if they equip the full set.

==={{DQ3}}===
Due to taking place in the distant past, none of the heraldry bears Erdrick's name until the completion of the game. The [[Sword of Kings]] was destroyed by [[Zoma]] over the course of several years due to the demon king fearing its power, and must be reforged with an ingot of [[Orichalcum]]. This precious metal is found in the horse field of Damdara, and must be sold to the [[Jipang|Jipangese]] blacksmith living in [[Kol]]. Once he is given the metal, the sword will be available for purchase.

The [[Auroral Armour]] is found in a chest in a hidden room in the [[Tower of Rubiss]], and the [[Hero's Shield]] is found on the bottom floor of the [[Nail Mark]] northwest of Tantegel. [[Ortega's Helm]] was added to the game in the SNES remake, being given to the player by the people of [[Mur]], giving the Hero a complete set of armour. What would become the mark of Erdrick is the [[Sacred Amulet]], which is granted to the player upon the rescue of [[Rubiss]].

==={{DQ3HD}}===
The [[auroral helm]] was added to the legendary equipment in the HD remake, being the upgraded form of Ortega's helm that confirms the fan speculation of the latter becoming part of the set by matching the design of Erdrick's helmet. Of note is that it increases the power of the [[Zap]]-family of spells by 20% when worn, a distinct feature not seen in other legendary helmets.

==={{DQ8}}===
Available only in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version is "Ye Olde Sword of Erdrick", a rusty version of the mythical blade that is obtained via a download code first made available internationally on February 24, 2017. Players can reforge the tarnished slab by mixing it with the [[liquid metal sword]] and a lump of orichalcum in the [[Alchemy pot]].

==={{DQ9}}===
[[Erdrick's Sword|Erdrick's sword]] is the result of mixing the [[Rusty sword|Rusty sword]] with nine [[Glass frit]]s and one chunk of Orichalcum within [[Krak Pot]]. The rusty sword lays within a chest on the eighth floor of the [[Realm of the Mighty]].

The suit of armour has been split into several pieces corresponding to the [[Erdrick's Armour|upper & lower body]], [[Erdrick_Equipment#Erdrick's_gauntlets|hands]], and [[Erdrick's Helmet|head]] as per the system changes features in ''IX''. These pieces of equipment are first obtained in dilapidated condition and are collectively referred to as the [[Rusty suit]], along with the [[Erdrick's Shield|shield]].

==={{DQB}}===
Erdrick's sword, shield, and armour are available in this alternate timeline spin-off. The paraphernalia is referred to by the antiquated names not used since ''III'', and can be forged in the fifth chapter of the game.

==={{DQB2}}===
The three parts of the heraldry return for the sequel, but have simpler recopies to forge.

==={{DQTact}}===
Erdrick's sword and armour appear as S-rank equipment made available in the ''True Dragon Quest III'' event.

==={{SSB5}}===
The sword, armour, helmet, and shield are available as Mii Swordfighter costume gear, and the Hero if III fights with the sword of kings and hero's shield equipped.

==Miscellaneous==
===[[Sacred Amulet]]===
Exclusive to {{Dragon Quest III}}, the amulet is given to the {{Hero 3}} by [[Rubiss]] and will grant +30 {{Luck}}, along with ''complete'' immunity to instant death and [[Kamikazee]].

As {{Dragon Quest IX}} has split armor into three categories, the gauntlets that originally came with the auroral armor have become their own equipment for the game.

===[[Erdrick's Tablet]]===
[[file:DW1 ErdricksTablet.png|right|100px]]
Erdrick's tablet is found in the [[Erdrick's Cave|cave bearing his name]] north-west of Tantagel castle. It is a message he left for his descendants, detailing the means necessary to travel to the isle of evil in the center of Alefgard. The tablet only appears in the original 8-bit version of the first game, being replaced by a sprite depicting a large monolith that serves the same purpose in all subsequent versions.

==Trivia==
*The iconography of Erdrick bears a distinct resemblance to [[Ramia]], appearing on the sword, shield, and armor of legend. Even the hero's emblem bears Ramia's visage, likely owning to her significance in ''III's'' chain of events.
*The overworld sprite of [[Ortega]] in the {{SFC}} Version shows him wearing a black helmet with a single strip of metal going vertically along the cranium, rather than the blue emblemized helmet seen in later sets of the Armor of Erdrick. This could imply that the helmet was modified after joining with the legendary gear.
*Some versions of the sword and shield have [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Saxon_runes Anglo-Saxon runes] inscribed on them.
** The runes on the sword read "Dragon Kuest", an approximation of ''Dragon Quest''. These runes first appeared on the sword in artwork for ''VIII''.
** The runes on the shield read "Roto", Erdrick's Japanese name. These runes first appeared on the shield in Famicon artwork.

Bonus dungeon

2026-05-12T14:37:12Z

GerikZ5: /* Appearances */

A '''Bonus dungeon''' is a location in a {{Main Series}} game, usually accessible only after completing the main storyline of the game. It is considered additional ''bonus'' content to the main content of the game and typically features special rewards, challenges, or Easter eggs.

The concept of a bonus dungeon first appeared in {{DQ5}}, and at least one has appeared in subsequent installment of the series, as well as several remakes of past titles.

==Appearances==

==={{DQ2HD}}===
{{Section-Stub}}
Two new bonus dungeons, the [[Cave of the Dwarves]] and the [[Cave of Confusion]] appears after defeating Malroth.

[[Cloudsgate Citadel]] with the [[Citadel Tower]] from the third title is also available, allowing to fight the dragon [[Xenlon]] who grant wish if the [[Scions of Erdrick|Party]] can defeat him in a strict limit of time.

==={{DQ3}}===
Both the {{Super Famicom}} and {{Game Boy Color}} versions contain a bonus dungeon named as [[??? (Dragon Quest III)|???]] that is accessible from the [[Castle of the Dragon Queen]] after defeating [[Zoma]]. A lone [[Baramonster]] appears at the end of the dungeon, which in turn leads to {{Cloudsgate Citadel 3}} (Zenithia). The dungeon is a cave made up of layouts from the previous dungeons. The second part of the dungeon, the [[Citadel Tower]], follow Cloudsgate Citadel where at the end awaits the dragon [[Xenlon]], who can grant few wishes if the {{Party 3}} can defeat her in a strict limit of time.

In the {{Game Boy Color}} version, the spot that was occupied by [[Ramia]] in [[Rimland]] will become a portal to the [[Ice Cave]], a second Bonus Dungeon with its [[Gran Dragon|own boss]]. The entrance will become available after making a wish to [[Xenlon]] to open it.

==={{DQ3HD}}===
The [[Temple of Trials]] takes the place of the forgotten Ice Cave, and is unlocked in the same manner. All monsters that were present in the portable-exclusive bonus dungeon have returned after a long absence, with the Grand Dragon once more taking it's place as the game's ultimate superboss.

==={{DQ4}}===
The remakes of the fourth title introduced the {{Fungeon 4}} and Chapter Six. Located beneath [[The Azimuth]], this immense and strange dungeon featured many creatures from later games and culminated with the bizarre bonus bosses [[Chow Mein and Foo Yung]]. After defeating them the first time, a side quest starts that enables the player to resurrect an [[Rose|individual]] and recruit a {{Psaro 9}} as a {{Party 4}} member. The bonus bosses can be fought again to obtain [[Pandemonic Equipment|special gear exclusive to the new character]].

==={{DQ5}}===
The first bonus dungeon included in the original release is [[Estark's Labyrinth]], which contains the eponymous superboss [[Estark]] as a cameo from {{IV}}. In all remakes, after defeating [[Estark]] a special {{T'n'T}} board aptly named "Stark Raving Mad" will be made available to the player; if the player manages to reach the finish square, it unlocks two [[Starkers|unique]] and [[Rebjørn|powerful]] [[Monster recruitment|monster companions]].

==={{DQ6}}===
After defeating the [[Mortamor|final boss]], if the {{Party 6}} have between them reached the fifth rank of every single {{Vocation}}, including the secret {{Dragon V}} and [[Liquid metal slime (vocation)|Liquid metal slime]], then they can enter the {{Fungeon 6}} through the back chamber of {{Alltrades Abbey 6}} in the [[Upper World]]. Besides taking the {{Hero 6}} and {{Party 6}} to a grim mirror of [[Weaver's Peak]], with some of the rarest items for purchase, the {{Fungeon 6}} is home to one of the most powerful {{MFamilies}}s in the entire series, the demon lord who destroyed [[Castle Graceskull]]: the great and terrible [[Nokturnus]]. If the {{Party 6}} can defeat him within 20 turns, the player will be treated to a very special ending variant of the final battle against [[Mortamor]].

==={{DQ7}}===
The seventh title features two bonus dungeons to spelunk once the demonlord is vanquished: the [[Cave to Another World]] and the [[Cave to Yet Another World]]. Both of these extras require their own sets of [[Fragment]]s to be amassed and assembled in the [[Shrine of Mysteries]], and consist of recycled areas explored earlier in the game with more powerful monsters and greater treasures. At the end of the first bonus dungeon is [[Numen|a deity]], who will offer the {{Party 7}} a friendly bout after congratulating them for their undertakings. The fight at the end of the second dungeon is the quartet of elementals: the [[Earth Spirit]], [[Fire Spirit]], [[Water Spirit]], and [[Wind Spirit]]. They aggressively defend the humble dwelling of the first bonus boss and will not even allow the warriors of Eden to approach it.

==={{DQ8}}===
The bonus dungeons are composed of the [[Dragovian Path]], followed by the [[Heavenly Dais]] with the [[Dragovian Sanctuary]] serving as rest area between the two places – the latter featuring a sidequest that uncovers {{Eight}}'s heritage. After defeating the [[Lord of the Dragovians]], the Dragovian Trials become available and a new ending occurs after defeating [[Rhapthorne|the final boss]] again. In the {{3DS}} version, there are two new bonus dungeons, the [[Altar of Wroth]] and [[Memories Lane]]. The [[Altar of Wroth]] can be accessed after the destruction of [[Neos]] and visiting the depths of [[Dragon Graveyard]] to talk to Golding's ancestor and the Memories Lane is unlocked by the [[Lord of the Dragovians]] as a prize for completing one of the Dragovian Trials.

==={{DQ9}}===
The [[Tower of Nod]] becomes available after completing the main storyline and obtaining the [[Starflight Express]]. Furthermore, the extensive {{Grotto}} system functions as sort of bonus dungeon in and of itself, with absurdly [[List of treasure map bosses in Dragon Quest IX|powerful bosses]] waiting within rivaling those seen in previous games--not to mention those old foes themselves in the form of {{Legacy Boss}}es.

==={{DQ11}}===
After enhancing [[Cetacea]] to reach the [[Calasmos|final boss]] in Act 3, the entrance of [[Drustan's labyrinth]] opens in the ruins of the [[Zwaardsrust region]]. The dungeon is composed of several recycled parts of the game with the [[Trial Isle]] as rest area in the middle of the dungeon. Three trials with powerful bonus bosses await, and wishes are granted based on defeating these bosses within a certain turn limit. The {{3DS}} and the {{Definitive Edition}} versions of the game feature the [[Echo Chamber]], which has different dungeons referencing areas and bosses of previous {{Main Series}} entries. These dungeons open up as [[Tockle]]s are found in the world.

Xenlon

'''Xenlon''' is an additional post-game boss made for the {{Super Famicom}} version of {{DQ3}} that has since appeared in every subsequent iteration of the title, as well as the {{DQ2HD}}. Xenlon is a green eastern dragon of immense age and magical capability, granting wishes to those able to best him in battle. The divine dragon later appeared in the {{DQMSeries}} as one of the most difficult {{MFamilies}}s to recruit.

In the postgame of the HD-2D remake of Dragon Quest II, a beam of light appears next to the item shop at the [[Faerie Palace]] which transports you directly to [[Cloudsgate Citadel]], without needing to first traverse a bonus dungeon. From there you can climb [[Citadel Tower]] up to Xenlon. The wishes to choose from are as follows:
*New Tombola location: This opens up at Cloudsgate Citadel and gives you a chance to win the set of [[liquid metal equipment]]. It costs 3 tickets to play and the odds are very steep.
*Powerful weapon: This gives you Rubiss's Sword, which blows Erdrick's out of the water and casts [[Kazap]] when used as an item in battle.
*Damage-dealing ability: This gives you a [[Critical Claim]] scroll for guaranteed critical hits.
*Magic-magnifying ability: This gives you a [[Channel Anger]] scroll.
*Learn the secrets of [[Puff-Puff]]: This gets you a [[Power Puff-Puff]] scroll, a more powerful version of Puff-Puff.

==={{DQ3}}===
Xenlon's existence is alluded to three times in the game after [[Zoma]] is defeated: the first by the [[Aliahan]] Castle scientist who is researching the fable of a wish granting dragon, the hint-giving prisoner in the same castle, and by a {{Faerie}} standing next to the pillar of light in the [[Castle of the Dragon Queen]].

He is found at the top of [[Cloudsgate Citadel (bonus dungeon)|the castle in the sky]], sleeping at the summit. He can be battled multiple times for a wish to be granted. Xenlon gets bored with long and tedious fights, which is why he enforces a turn limit for those who fight him. To have him grant the first wish, the dragon god must be defeated within 35 turns. He expresses annoyance at meeting the {{Party 3}} again after the first wish has been granted, and reduces the turn limit to 25. After the second wish is granted, he reduces the turn limit again to 15. Despite this initial irritation, Xenlon will be positively thrilled if he can be bested under his strict turn limit and thank the {{Hero 3}} for an exhilarating battle. Upon beating him, he transports the {{Party 3}} to the outside of the [[Castle of the Dragon Queen]], whether a wish is made or not.

*Reviving [[Ortega]].
*Create a [[Treasures n' Trapdoors]] board in the well of [[Jipang]] (removed in [[Cell phone]] version).
*Get a copy of [[Guns'n'Buns]].
*Get rare [[Monster Medal]]s ({{GBC}} version only).
*Open the path to the [[Ice Cave]] [[bonus dungeon]] ({{GBC}} version only).
**This option is represented as a blank spot on the list of wishes, similar to the [[Jailor's Key]] in {{II}}

Xenlon, for all intents and purposes, makes [[Zoma|that blue-blooded so-and-so]] look like a chump. His powers matched only by the solitary [[Grand Dragon]], Xenlon is the strongest entity in the game, being immune to every status debuff, including [[Drain Magic]], and can deal devastating damage to the party by chewing on them, regardless of how resilient they are. An ideal way to approach this fight is with a full-frontal assault using [[Oomph]] and [[Falcon Blades]]. Specific action attacks will ignore defence, so don't even bother with [[Kabuff]]. Instead, keep [[Accelerate]] up at all times to make life easier for healers. Also, because Xenlon only has one spell and an equal chance to use any other action, [[Insulate]] is a better idea than [[Bounce]].

On the bright side, Xenlon has no resistance to offensive spells, meaning that if the {{Hero 3}} has enough {{MP}}, they can cast [[Kazap]] over and over again to whittle down his health. [[Mage|Magi]] and [[Sage|Sages]] should only cast [[Kafrizzle]] when healing and buffing have already been covered for the turn.

=====Consistent 15 turn KO=====
For a consistent 15-turn KO, Xenlon needs to be dealt an average of 487 damage per turn. Thankfully, this is quite achievable, as Kafrizzle is a guaranteed 46HKO, even if every hit rolls the bare minimum of 160 damage; with 45 hits of 160 damage, Xenlon lives with 100 HP. Toss in two [[Kaswoosh]]es by using the [[Sword of Kings]] as a battle item, and you have enough damage to win no matter how bad the RNG gets. The party is thus composed of the [[Hero]] and 3 Kafrizzle casters; the Kafrizzle casters need a minimum of 300 MP for 15 Kafrizzles each, totaling 7200 guaranteed damage amongst them, though more likely, fewer Kafrizzles will be required since this assumes the bare minimum damage. The Hero should ditch the [[Auroral Armour]] for a [[Glombolero]] to bring [[Omniheal]] down to 32 MP per cast; in conjunction with the Hero spamming the [[Sage's Stone]] when nobody's HP is critical, they should be able to provide enough healing for the party as long as they do so efficiently. Everyone should have as much HP as possible, so as to make Omniheal readily accessible.

'''Note:''' Due to acting twice per turn, Xenlon will burn through turn-wasting status ailments twice as fast.

Aside from stat boosts, nothing has changed. Due to system changes, some of the wishes he would grant have been replaced with new choices:

*Reviving [[Ortega]].
*Create a new [[Monster Arena]] rank in the well of [[Jipang]].
*Receive [[Rubiss's sword|an incredible weapon without equal]].
*Get a copy of [[Guns'n'Buns]].
*Allow the Hero to style their haircut.
*Open the path to the [[Temple of Trials]] that hangs in the sky north of Aliahan.
**This option is represented as a blank spot on the list of wishes, similar to the [[Jailor's Key]] in {{II}}.
*Get a copy of [[More Guns 'n' Buns]].
**This option is only available when all the other listed wishes have been granted.

==Trivia==
*In the Game Boy Color version of ''III'' [[Monster Medal]]s are saved automatically upon obtainment, thus the player can save wishes by defeating him and getting all of his sets of Medals, then resetting the game.
*Up until ''[[Dragon Quest Tact]]'', Xenlon was referred to as female, or otherwise called "it." The ''III'' HD-2D remake is consistent with this by giving him a deep, masculine voice in line with Ortega's and Zoma's.
*Xenlon serves as an homage to [http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Shenron Shenron] from the ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' franchise, another eastern draconic god designed by [[Akira Toriyama]]. Not only do they look generally similar (the most notable differences being Shenron's glowing red eyes and Xenlon's purple accents), but they also grant wishes. In addition, the kanji for Shenron's name in Dragon Ball is 神龍 (meaning "god dragon"), which can be read as "''shen long''" in Mandarin Chinese (which, when said aloud by a Japanese person, becomes "シェンロン ''Shenron''"), whereas it is read as "しんりゅう ''shinryū''" in Japanese, the same as Xenlon's name in the Japanese version of {{Main Series}}.
