This is a list of locations in {{DQ3}}.

==Overworld==
{{Main|Overworld (Dragon Quest III)}}
*[[Aliahan]]: This circular continent is the start point of the game; it is also a castle town which is the capital of the continent. [[Ortega]], father of the protagonist, is the national hero. At one time, it controlled the entire world, but war and revolution led to its being reduced to a single continent. The town contains the {{Hero 3}}'s house and [[Patty's Party Planning Place]]. Its position suggests that it may correspond to the mythical lost continent of [[Wikipedia:Mu (lost continent)|Mu]].
*[[Reeve]]: A small village north of Castle Aliahan. An old bomb maker lives here.
*[[Romaria]] (Rome, Italy): A castle town in the northwestern continent of the world. The country is reachable from [[Aliahan]] via a [[Teleportal]]. The king's crown was stolen by [[Robbin' 'Ood]].
*[[Khoryv]] (in central Europe, possibly Kyiv, Ukraine): An Alpine village north of [[Romaria]]. A legendary martial artist lives here; he defeated a bear with only an [[Iron claw]]. The previous name, Kazave, is similar to Kazakhstan, in central Asia.
*[[Skyfell Tower]] (in France): A tower to the southwest of [[Khoryv]]. It is the headquarters of [[Robbin' 'Ood]]. The original name, Tower of Shanpane, is presumably meant to be [[Wikipedia:Champagne|Champagne]].
*[[Norvik]] (in northern Europe): A village north of Khoryv. It has been cursed by the {{Faerie}}s. [[Ortega]] has visited the village. It is probably named after “Norway”.
*[[Super Secret Faerie Village]]: A village inhabited by {{Elves}} and wildlife located west of [[Norvik]]. It is ruled by a queen who forbids all contact with [[human]]s. It is represented on the world map as a forest clearing. It cannot be reached by the [[Zoom]] spell or the [[Chimaera wing]].
*[[Asham]] (on the Arabic peninsula): A town to the southeast of [[Romaria]]. This is a busy town, which has a store and a theater that are only open at [[Day-night cycle|night]]. Also some of the stores sell items at unusual prices.
*[[Isis]] (in the southwestern Sahara): A castle town in an oasis in an immense desert west of [[Asham]]. It is ruled by a beautiful queen, modeled on Cleopatra. It is named after the Egyptian goddess Isis. There is a [[Pyramid]] to the north; it is the tomb of the royal family.
*[[Portoga]] (Portugal): A castle town on the coast west of [[Romaria]]. It is the port where [[ship]]s are built. The King is very fond of a rare and expensive [[Black pepper]].
*[[Nordy's Grotto]]: A cave to the north of [[Asham]] and [[Baharata]] that provides a link between them.
*[[Baharata]] (India): A town east of [[Asham]], next to the holy river. The [[Black pepper]] is grown here. But the pepper shop is closed, the owner's granddaughter, has been kidnapped by [[Robbin' 'Ood]].
*{{Alltrades Abbey 3}} (in Tibet or Nepal): A temple to the east of Baharata. Here one can change [[vocations]].
*[[Mur]] (in eastern Russia): A village to the northeast of the {{Alltrades Abbey 3}}. At one time [[Ortega]] stayed in this village. It cannot be reached by the [[Zoom]] spell or the [[Chimaera wing]].
*[[Theddon]] (in southern Africa): A ghost village; the inhabitants are only visible at [[Day-night cycle|night]], and thus the stores are only open then. It cannot be reached by the [[Zoom]] spell or the [[Chimaera wing]].
*[[Lanson]] (Australia): An island village west of [[Aliahan]]. The village is small, but contains a large temple which opens on a desert surrounding a cave; Only one adventurer will be permitted to go to that cave.
*[[Edina]] (England): The castle ruling the island country northwest of [[Romaria]]. This proud castle will not admit foreign visitors. In the castles dungeons is a hidden treasure, which can only be obtained by solving a Sokoban puzzle. There is no store or castle town. The name likely derives from [[Wikipedia:Edinburgh|Edinburgh]].
*[[Persistence]] (in North America): A town on the northeastern continent, reached by a maze of rivers (tributaries of the Mississippi-counterpart). It is famed for its talking horse. The original name, Soo, was probably meant to be [[Wikipedia:Sioux|Sioux]].
*[[Immigrant Town (Dragon Quest III)|Immigrant Town]]/New Town (New York): An undeveloped area east of Persistence; it can be built into a town by a [[Merchant]] {{Party 3}} member. As time passes, the town grows. Eventually the [[merchant]] is overthrown by a revolution. It cannot be reached by the [[Zoom]] spell or the [[Chimaera wing]].
*[[Jipang]] (Japan): Known as the "golden country", Jipang consists of four small islands to the north of [[Aliahan]]. There is a village and a [[Orochi's Lair|cave]], where the dragon [[Orochi]] lives. (Jipang is an old Portugese name for Japan).
*[[Manoza]] (Brazil): A castle town far to the south of [[Persistence]]. It was founded by the famous hero Simão, but the [[Boss troll|King]]'s personality has mysteriously [[Mod Rod|changed]], and the citizens suffer from misgovernment. It can only be reached via [[Teleportal]]s. The name is an anagram of "Amazon".
*[[Pirates' Den]]<ref name="auto">Name given when [[Storeyteller]] is used in the [[Cell phone]] version.</ref> (in Argentina): The headquarters of a band of pirates, south of [[Manoza]]. It is nearly empty during the [[Day-night cycle|daytime]], because the pirates are out sailing. It cannot be reached by the [[Zoom]] spell or the [[Chimaera wing]].
*[[Phantom Ship]]: A roaming ghost ship that appears in the waters between [[Romaria]], [[Asham]] and [[Isis]].
*[[Lozamii]]: In the southeast of the world map, it is called “the forgotten island”. It has not been visited in many years, so the village has declined in prosperity. It is inhabited by an astronomer who espouses heliocentrism. It cannot be reached by the [[Zoom]] spell or the [[Chimaera wing]]. The name is “you do not see” spelled backwards (in Japanese).
*[[Greenlad]] (Greenland): An icy island to the north of [[Persistence]]. The old man who lives there has an item from the [[Phantom Ship]].
*[[Rimland]] (Antarctica): An icy island in the south. The shrine in the center of the island protects the egg of the immortal bird [[Ramia]], and contains pedestal for the [[Six Orbs]].

*[[Castle of Dragon Queen]] (in Russia): A castle to the east of [[Khoryv]], it is “the castle closest to Heaven”. The queen of the dragons is dying. The castle is surrounded by a ring of mountains, so it can only be reached with the aid of [[Ramia]].
*[[Baramos' Lair]]<ref name="auto"/> (in central Africa): The castle of the devil [[Baramos]], at the summit of Necrogond. It is a complicated structure. Since it is surrounded by mountains and water, it can only be reached with the aid of [[Ramia]].
*[[Great Pit of Giaga]] (in central Africa, by Lake Victoria): A great pit to the east of the castle of [[Baramos]]. The hole connects to the [[Alefgard|Underworld]], but it is sealed until [[Baramos]] is defeated.

==Underworld==
{{spoiler|start}}
{{Main|Alefgard}}
The Underworld is the land of [[Alefgard]] from {{Dragon Quest}}. While a [[ship]] is available, it is not possible to travel to the [[Torland|other continents]] from {{Dragon Quest II}}.  [[Alefgard]] is shrouded in eternal darkness by [[Zoma]], so it is known as "the World of Darkness". The town and dungeons are mostly in the same positions (and have the same layouts) as in {{Dragon Quest}}, but there are a few places that cannot be reached without using the ship. Although characters in the game say that nobody has returned after falling into the [[Great Pit of Giaga]], it is possible to use the [[Zoom]] spell or [[Chimaera wing]] to teleport between worlds.

*[[Tantegel]]: The capital and largest city of [[Alefgard]], at the center of the continent. It is immediately to the east of the spot where people fall from the [[Great Pit of Giaga]]. [[Zoma's Citadel]] can be seen across the sea from here. The relative position of the castle and castle town is opposite from {{Dragon Quest}}, but the same as in {{Dragon Quest II}}.
*[[Galen's House]]: Home of the legendary wandering minstrel Galen. His [[Lyre of Ire]] is found in the basement. It is in the same location as the town named after him in {{Dragon Quest}}.
*[[Kol]]: A village in the forest east-northeast of [[Tantegel]]. It is famed for its open-air bathing springs. The owner of the item shop is a swordmaker from [[Jipang]].
*[[Rimuldar]]: A town surrounded by a lake in the east of [[Alefgard]].
*[[Sanctum]]: A shrine located south of [[Rimuldar]].
*[[Damdara]]: A town in the desert south of the [[Mountain Cave]]. It is rumored that a valuable nugget of [[Orichalcum]] can be found here. It has not yet fallen into ruin in this game.
*[[Cantlin]]: A town on a plateau southeast of [[Damdara]]. Most of the inhabitants have lost hope, and do not know what to do. It is not yet surrounded by a wall or protected by the [[Golem]]; one scholar in town is researching how to build the [[Golem]] from the first game.
*[[Zoma's Citadel]]<ref name="auto"/>: The castle of [[Zoma]] located in the center of [[Alefgard]]. Only via the hidden staircase can one reach [[Zoma]]. It contains moving floors and an infinite loop passage. While it is in the same position as the [[Dragonlord's Castle]] in the first game, the internal structure is quite different, except for the ground floor.
