'''Cloudsgate Citadel''' is the name of the bonus dungeon that appears in the 16-bit remake and ports of {{DQ3}}. It is a homage to the [[Zenithia|eponymous flying castle]] of the [[Zenithia trilogy]], which were the three most recent titles in the series when the SNES remake of ''III'' was released in 1996. 
==Appearances==  
==={{DQ3}}===
The citadel is reached by stepping into the light of the stained glass windows at the [[Castle of the Dragon Queen|Dragon Queen's palace]], 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 party will find themselves on a small, floating island surrounded by thick clouds. On this island is a deep cave, containing many rooms resembling those seen previously.  The floors include:
*The 2nd and 5th floor of [[Gondo Cave]].
*The 1st floor of [[Orochi's Lair]].
*The 2nd floor of the [[Pyramid]] (the stairway on the upper righthand area leads to a room modeled after the basement of [[Tantegel Castle]]).
*The 2nd floor of the [[Underground Lake]] (The healing spring is also present).
*The 1st floor of Gondo Cave.
*The prison room of [[Manoza]] Castle.

Many fierce monsters populate this dungeon, including [[Baramos]] doppelgangers known as Baramonsters. The final room of the dungeon is a monster arena, where the heroes fight inside the ring. Once this room is passed, the party will enter a duplicate of [[Queen Isis]]' throne room. A monarch calling himself King Zenith sits on the throne.

*A enclosed [[Cantlin|town]] in a [[Alefgard|dark world]]. [[Dark robe|It]] sleeps among flowers...
