View source for List of teleportals in Dragon Quest Monsters

Throughout the course of {{DQM}} the player, as [[Terry]], must journey from the kingdom of [[GreatTree]] to mystic worlds via [[Teleportal|Traveler's Gates]] (Travel Gates/Teleportals) in order to acquire {{MFamilies}}s powerful enough to help him succeed in the Starry Night Tournament. The following is a list of these [[Teleportal|Traveler's Gates]] by name and gives the number of floors they have, the requirements for accessing them, and a description of the gate's contents.

There are three main categories of [[Teleportal|Traveler's Gates]]: Main [[Teleportal|Traveler's Gates]] (all found within the Chamber of [[Teleportal|Traveler's Gates]]), Hidden Traveler's Gates (found throughout the kingdom, accessed through certain conditions), and Family [[Teleportal|Traveler's Gates]] (containing only {{MFamilies}}s of a specific family, all only available post-game). Note that only three of the main [[Teleportal|Traveler's Gates]] are required to clear within the story; all the others are optional.

Each of the [[Teleportal|Traveler's Gates]] have randomized floors, a set number of floors, and a unique set of encountered {{MFamilies}}s. Within each floor is a hole that leads to the next floor. It is possible to randomly access a special room (substituting for a randomized area for that floor number) such as a church, a shop, an arena, a treasure room, and a maze (consisting of tree mazes and rotating tile mazes). Aside from the maze areas, [[Terry]] can record his journal in these special rooms. Otherwise, [[Terry]] must use a [[List of items in Dragon Quest Monsters 2#Regular Items|BookMark]] to record his journal within a [[Teleportal|Traveler's Gate]].

At the bottom of each [[Teleportal|Traveler's Gate]] is the boss room (most of which are based on elements in the mainstream {{Main Series}} games). To clear the [[Teleportal|Traveler's Gate]], [[Terry]] must defeat the boss {{MFamilies}} in battle. Once [[Terry]] does so, the gate will be cleared (indicated based on the portal, which will stop spinning in the original and {{PS1}} remake, and will change from a red to blue aura in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake). In the original and {{PS1}} remake, there are three types of boss {{MFamilies}}s: those that join [[Terry]] unconditionally, those that join [[Terry]] if given enough meat (typically 4-5 [[List of items in Dragon Quest Monsters 2#Meat|Ribs]]), and those that do not join [[Terry]] at all. In the {{3DS}} remake, all [[Teleportal|Traveler's Gate]] bosses (including post-game bosses) will join [[Terry]] (with no option to refuse the request) with two exceptions: [[Hacksaurus|BattleRex]] and [[Dhuran|Durran]]. To reach the boss in the original and {{PS1}} remake, [[Terry]] must approach the boss, usually by clear a puzzle; in the {{3DS}} remake, the boss will always engage [[Terry]] as soon as he arrives in the boss room.

==Main Gates==
The [[Teleportal|Traveler's Gates]] primarily visited throughout the normal course of the game. The {{MFamilies}}s get progressively stronger with each gate, and most of the bosses encountered at the beginning will want to join [[Terry]] after being defeated. While most new gates open with wins at the Monster Arena, some gates and even rank battles cannot be accessed until a certain gate is completed. These three story-central gates are those of Beginning, Anger, and Reflection. Only these three gates are mandatory for the completion of the storyline; the others, while highly recommended, are optional. The two former [[Monster Master]]s in the [[Arena]] will give [[Terry]] descriptions of the two most recently unlocked main gates, while the jester in the throne room (the one guarding the King's exit door to the right of the throne) will give [[Terry]] recorded descriptions of the bosses.

===Gate of Beginning===
'''Floors:''' 4

'''Requirements:''' Collect Slib from Pulio

'''Monsters:''' [[Slime]], [[Dracky]], [[Antguzzler|Anteater]]

'''Boss:''' [[Healslime|Healer]] ("Hale"), Male

'''Joins:''' Yes

'''Details:''' This is the first [[Teleportal|Traveler's Gate]] the player will go through in the game and as such houses the lowest level of {{MFamilies}}s that can be found. There are only four floors to this gate with all occupied by [[Slime]]s, [[Dracky|Drackies]], and [[Antguzzler|Anteaters]]. All random battles will consist of only one enemy {{MFamilies}}. In the {{3DS}} remake, [[Fluffy|Watabou]] will give [[Terry]] a tutorial on how to battle and scout {{MFamilies}}s. The boss of the gate is a [[Healslime|Healer]], likely based off of [[Healie]] from {{DQ4}}. It is the {{MFamilies}} that escaped from the farm and will join the party after being defeated.

It should be noted that money will not be found on the ground in this gate. This was done to prevent players from skipping rank G, the only arena battles that require no payment to participate in. Due to this, if a coin is seen on the ground in this gate than it is undoubtedly a [[Mini medal|Tiny Medal]].

Also, unlike later gates, the Gate of Beginning does not have any randomly accessible special rooms.

Interestingly, even if [[Terry]] does not let Hale join his team, none of the following dialogues will be altered (Hale thanking [[Terry]] for letting him join his team, and the King allowing for Hale to be with [[Terry]] instead of him).

In the original, the boss room and the floor before it will still play the normal [[Teleportal|Traveler's Gate]] theme (being the only [[Teleportal|Traveler's Gate]] to do so). In the {{PS1}} and {{3DS}} remake, the overworld theme will change to ''Homeland'', indicating the boss's reference to {{Dragon Quest IV}}.

===Gate of Villager===
'''Floors:''' 4

'''Requirements:''' Clear G Class

''[[Stump chump|StubSuck]]s & [[Walking stick|GoHoppers]], [[Antguzzler|Anteaters]] & [[Gremlin]]s were there.. [[Stump chump|StubSucks]] can cast [[Snooze|Sleep]]. Be careful! Be careful when [[Walking stick|GoHoppers]] charge their power! The guardian there is a [[Green dragon|Dragon]]. Its [[Fire Breath|FireAir]] will cause great damage to your {{MFamilies}}s! Take plenty of [[Medicinal herb|herbs]] with you.''

'''Monsters:''' [[Stump chump|StubSuck]], [[Walking stick|GoHopper]], [[Antguzzler|Anteater]], [[Bludgerigar|Picky]], [[Gremlin]], [[Feralball|PillowRat]]

'''Boss:''' [[Green dragon|Dragon]] ("Dran"), Male

''[[Green dragon|Dragon]] loves girls. It carried a princess away & nobody knows what happened after that. It is an old fairy tale.''

'''Joins:''' Yes

'''Details:''' After participating and winning in the arena for the first time, players will have access to two new gates, a pattern that will essentially continue for the remainder of the game. The Gate of Villager is the same as Beginning when comparing size, but more items can be found lying about and the {{MFamilies}}s are much stronger. The boss is the [[Green dragon|Dragon]] from the original {{DQ}} that was charged with the task of guarding the [[Princess Gwaelin|princess]]. It joins the party after being defeated. To trigger the boss battle, [[Terry]] must first speak to [[Princess Gwaelin|Laura]], but, when he unsuccessfully tries to carry her out, she says that she prefers to wait for a {{Hero 1}} to rescue her "properly".

If [[Terry]] returns to the Room of Villager later, the [[Princess Gwaelin|princess]] will still be there, waiting for her {{Hero 1}}.

===Gate of Talisman===
'''Floors:''' 5

'''Requirements:''' Clear G Class

''There will be [[Ghost|Spookys]], [[Army ant|ArmyAnts]], [[Antguzzler|Anteaters]], and [[Muddy hand|Goopis]] there! [[Army ant|ArmyAnts]] will make you {{Sleep}} while they attack! The guardian there is a [[Golem]]. When it charges its power, watch for its next turn. The [[Golem]] is vulnerable to [[Snooze|Sleep]] spells.''

'''Monsters:''' [[Ghost|Spooky]], [[Army ant|ArmyAnt]], [[Antguzzler|Anteater]], [[Komodo|MiniDrak]], [[Muddy hand|Goopi]], [[Bludgerigar|Picky]]

'''Boss:''' [[Golem]] ("Golm"), Male 

''The stone guard fell asleep from the flute & became a mountain. These words were written on a wall in an ancient city.''

'''Joins:''' Yes

'''Details:''' Compared to its partner gate, the Gate of Villager, the Gate of Talisman has considerably stronger {{MFamilies}}s, especially if the player forgoes Villager and goes to Talisman first. The boss is the [[Golem]] from the original {{Dragon Quest}} that guards the entrance to a walled settlement. A cutscene will occur where [[Scruffy|Warubou]] will try to enter the village but is prevented from doing so by [[Golem]].

Like in the original {{Dragon Quest}}, [[Golem]] will be vulnerable to [[Snooze|Sleep]] spells. Due to its high attack, it is highly recommended that the player exploit this weakness. Two {{MFamilies}}s available at this point learn [[Snooze|Sleep]]: [[Dracky]] and [[Stump chump|StubSuck]].

===Gate of Memories===
'''Floors:''' 4

'''Requirements:''' Clear F Class

''There were [[Muddy hand|Goopis]], PillowRats, [[Small fry|DragonKids]], [[Killerpillar|Catapilas]], [[Bludgerigar|Pickys]], and [[Damselfly (DQVI)|FairyDraks]] living there. Sometimes, [[Mottle slime|SpotSlimes]] show up. Be careful. They can call others for help! The guardian there is the [[Great sabrecat|MadCat]]. It can cast a [[Mercurial Thrust|SquallHit]] faster than anybody. If you're slow, you'll be toast!''

'''Monsters:''' [[Muddy hand|Goopi]], [[Feralball|PillowRat]], [[Small fry|DragonKids]], [[Killerpillar|Catapila]], [[Bludgerigar|Picky]], [[Mousenap|FairyRat]], [[Mottle slime|SpotSlime]]

'''Boss:''' [[Great sabrecat|MadCat]] ("Gig"), Male 

''A {{MFamilies}} is living deep in a cave. The {{MFamilies}} screams with a peculiar voice as if it is calling someone. From the journey diary of the legendary [[Monster Master|master]] Mary.''

'''Joins:''' Yes

'''Details:''' The boss is a [[Great sabrecat|MadCat]], and is based off of the encounter with [[Saber]] in the [[Scary Lair|Monster's Den]] in {{DQ5}}.

===Gate of Bewilder===
'''Floors:''' 5

'''Requirements:''' Clear F Class

''There were [[Komodo|MiniDraks]], [[Bantamweight|BigRoosts]], [[EvilSeed]]s, [[Imp|Demonites]], [[Mottle slime|SpotSlimes]] and [[Walking corpse|Hork]]s living there. When all of your {{MFamilies}}s are {{Paralyze}}d you're finished. Don't forget some [[Moonwort bulb|MoonHerbs]]! The guardian there is the [[Treeface|FaceTree]]. It will cast a [[Curses|curse]]. A [[Curses|curse]] is a real threat. Use [[List of enemies in Dragon Quest Monsters 2#Regular Items|Laurels]] to cure [[curses]]. The {{MFamilies}}s in the [[Nature family|plant family]] are vulnerable to fire attacks!''

'''Monsters:''' [[Komodo|MiniDrak]], [[Bantamweight|BigRoost]], [[Small fry|DragonKid]], [[Mottle slime|SpotSlime]], [[EvilSeed]], [[Imp|Demonite]], [[Crested viper|Crestpent]]

'''Boss:''' [[Treeface|FaceTree]] ("Face"), Male 

''My years of research led me to believe that... Sometimes mushrooms, rocks & trees with faces are born. From the report of the first director of the library.''

'''Joins:''' Yes

'''Details:''' The boss is a [[Treeface|FaceTree]]. It resides at the end of a forest maze, which the player must transverse while battling the [[Stump chump|Stubsucks]] that try to get in the player's way. These [[Stump chump|StubSucks]] are considerably stronger than the ones that appear on the world map, and while recruitable, will require [[List of items in Dragon Quest Monsters 2#Meat|Ribs]] and [[List of items in Dragon Quest Monsters 2#Meat|Sirloins]] (which the player is very unlikely to have acquired at this point in the game). Interestingly, even if the [[Stump chump|StubSuck]]s are recruited, they still remain on the world map. In the {{3DS}} remake, since the [[Treeface|FaceTree]] will engage [[Terry]] in battle right away, the boss battle will consist of two [[Stump chump|StubSucks]] as well as [[Treeface|FaceTree]].

In the original and {{PS1}} remake, the overworld theme for the boss room and the floor before it will be ''Homeland'', while in the {{3DS}} remake it will instead be ''Toward the Horizon''.

===Gate of Peace===
'''Floors:''' 7

'''Requirements:''' Clear E Class

''There were [[Bantamweight|BigRoosts]], [[Mottle slime|SpotSlimes]], CoilBirds, [[Small fry|DragonKids]], [[Crested viper|Crestpents]], [[Marrow escapee|BoneSlaves]], [[Spiked hare|Almiraj]]s, [[Walking corpse|Hork]]s and [[Bullfinch|BullBirds]] living there. The [[Crested viper|Crestpents]] have [[Poison Attack|PoisonHit]]! The guardian there is the [[Wild slime|FangSlime]]. When it charges its power, watch your remaining {{HP}}!''

'''Monsters:''' [[Bantamweight|BigRoost]], [[Mottle slime|SpotSlime]], [[CoilBird]], [[Crested viper|Crestpent]], [[Small fry|DragonKid]], [[Marrow escapee|BoneSlave]], [[Spiked hare|Almiraj]], [[Walking corpse|Hork]], [[Bullfinch|BullBird]]

'''Boss:''' [[Wild slime|FangSlime]] ("Fang"), Male

''Discretion is the better part of valor. Danger! Do not talk to the people who are not making much money!! A quote from Make Your Money Grow.''

'''Joins:''' Yes

'''Details:''' The Room of Peace is a [[casino]] exclusively for {{MFamilies}}s, and is likely based off of the ones that appear throughout the main series games. The boss is a [[Wild slime|FangSlime]], which is having bad luck with the slots and causing trouble, much to the [[casino]] workers' chagrins. To engage [[Wild slime|FangSlime]] in battle, the player must play the slots at least once (since the prizes are "{{MFamilies}} gold", they will not count towards the player's actual currency).

===Gate of Bravery===
'''Floors:''' 8

'''Requirements:''' Clear E Class

''There are [[Imp|Demonites]], [[Beanie meanie|BeanMen]], [[Jinkster|1EyeClowns]], [[Budding sorcerer|FloraMen]], [[Erazor blade|SabreMen]], [[Wiggly|GiantWorms]], and [[Bullfinch|BullBirds]] living there! The [[Budding sorcerer|FloraMen]] can use [[Sizzle|Firebane]]! The guardian there is the [[Cross eye|BigEye]]. It will use [[Chilly Breath|IceAir]] & [[Crackle|SnowStorm]]. [[Beast family|Beast]]s are vulnerable to spells and air attacks!''

'''Monsters:''' [[Imp|Demonite]], [[Beanie meanie|BeanMan]], [[Jinkster|1EyeClown]], [[Budding sorcerer|FloraMan]], [[Erazor blade|SabreMan]], [[Wiggly|GiantWorm]], [[Bullfinch|BullBird]]

'''Boss:''' [[Cross eye|BigEye]] 

''Despair is a part of hope! Hope is embedded in despair! A quote from Happy Ways to Overcome Your Despair.''

'''Joins:''' No

'''Details:''' The Room of Bravery is based off of [[Abovitall Tower]] in {{DQ5}}. To reach the boss, the player will need to transverse through the gap with the invisible floors. If the player completes the [[Teleportal|Traveler's Gates]] in sequential order, this gate will be the first time the player encounters future [[Terry]]. This cutscene will not happen if the player completes the Gate of Reflection first.

===Gate of Strength===
'''Floors:''' 10

'''Requirements:''' Clear the Gate of Anger

''There are [[Mud mannequin|MudDolls]], [[Buddy slime|TreeSlimes]], [[Skullrider|SkulRiders]], [[Monolog|WingTrees]], [[Damselfly (DQVI)|FairyDraks]], and [[Drake slime|DrakSlimes]] living there! [[Buddy slime|TreeSlimes]] there will get you with {{Paralyze}}. Don't forget to take some [[Moonwort bulb|MoonHerbs]] with you! The guardian there is a [[Living statue (Recurring)|StoneMan]]. Objects are resistant to [[Crack|IceBolt]] and [[Kacrackle|Blizzard]]!''

'''Monsters:''' [[Mud mannequin|MudDoll]], [[Buddy slime|TreeSlime]], [[Skullrider|SkulRider]], [[Damselfly (DQVI)|FairyDrak]], [[Monolog|WingTree]], [[Drake slime|DrakSlime]] 

'''Boss:''' [[Living statue|StoneMan]] 

''I looked back and the stone statue was not at the same place! It's the story about a man who survived his journey.''

'''Joins:''' No

'''Details:''' The boss is a [[Living statue|Stoneman]] and is based off of the statue that ambushes the player in [[Uptaten Towers]] in {{DQ5}}. Note that despite how the Gate of Strength is not accessible until after clearing the Gate of Anger, it is always listed before the Gate of Anger, as well as having slightly weaker {{MFamilies}}s and a weaker boss.

===Gate of Anger===
'''Floors:''' 10

'''Requirements:''' Clear D Class

''There were [[Wiggly|GiantWorms]], [[Killer gila|Poisongons]], [[Maulusc|GiantSlugs]], CatFlys, Eyeders, [[Putrefido|PutrePup]]s, and [[Drake slime|DrakSlimes]] there. [[Drake slime|DrakSlime's]] [[Flame Breath|BlazeAir]] is powerful! [[Squelch|Antidote]] is a must because there are {{MFamilies}}s with {{Poison}}. The guardian there is [[Hacksaurus|BattleRex]]. It's [[Hatchet Man|EvilSlash]] is an outrageous skill. [[Green dragon|Dragons]] are really resistant to fire attacks!''

'''Monsters:''' [[Wiggly|GiantWorm]], [[Maulusc|GiantSlug]], [[Killer gila|Poisongon]], [[Vampire cat|Catfly]], [[Lunatick|Eyeder]], [[Putrefido|PutrePup]], [[Drake slime|DrakSlime]]

'''Boss:''' [[Hacksaurus|BattleRex]] ("Wrex"), Female

''The victor made countless eggs vanish instantly. How do you like it? This is the legend of [[Terry]]!''

'''Joins:''' Yes

'''Details:''' After clearing rank D, the King of [[GreatTree]] will request [[Terry]] to venture into the Gate of Anger, as a large amount of {{MFamilies}}s have been spawning from the portal and into the kingdom, presenting a danger. Until [[Terry]] does this, he will not be able to compete in the arena, nor will any further gates be opened.

The Room of Anger is based off of [[Wayferer's Pass]] in {{DQ6}}. A [[Hacksaurus|BattleRex]] resides in the area, and is surrounded by eggs (which are the source of [[GreatTree]]'s problems). The player must interact with at least one egg to trigger the following sequences. Each egg, once interacted with, will hatch into a [[Small fry|DragonKid]] that is more powerful than the ones that appear in the wild. They are recruitable but will require [[List of items in Dragon Quest Monsters 2#Meat|Ribs]] and [[List of items in Dragon Quest Monsters 2#Meat|Sirloins]].

After defeating at least one [[Small fry|DragonKid]], the player will interact with [[Hacksaurus|BattleRex]]. She will be angered by [[Terry]]'s meddling of her brethren, and will command him to leave at once. At that moment, the adult [[Terry]] will appear. He will question [[Hacksaurus|BattleRex]] (the contents of the conversation not being audible), and unsatisfied with her responses, will magically destroy all the remaining eggs in the room (inadvertently completing the King's quest himself). Furious at this, [[Hacksaurus|BattleRex]] will attack the player, thinking that he was the one who destroyed her eggs.

After the battle, [[Hacksaurus|BattleRex]] will make a cryptic comment that the man from before bore a resemblance to the player, hinting at the cloaked man's true identity.

===Gate of Joy===
'''Floors:''' 13

'''Requirements:''' Clear C Class

''There were [[Shell slime|Snailys]], [[Bagworm|Saccers]], [[Bad apple|Gulpples]], [[Weaken beakon|MadPeckers]], [[Winky|EyeBalls]], [[Bubble slime|Babbles]], & [[Mummy]]s living there. Beware of {{MFamilies}}s with {{Paralyze}} & [[Poison Attack|PoisonHit]]. You might want to take {{MFamilies}}s with [[Squelch|Antidote]] & [[Tingle|NumbOff]]. The guardian there is a [[FunkyBird]]. It will {{Confuse}} you by dancing the [[Fuddle Dance|PaniDance]]! You'll need a [[List of items in Dragon Quest Monsters 2|SkyBell]] to cure the [[confusion]].''

'''Monsters:''' [[Shell slime|Snaily]], [[Bagworm|Saccer]], [[Bad apple|Gulpple]], [[Weaken beakon|MadPecker]], [[Winky|EyeBall]], [[Bubble slime|Babble]], [[Mummy]]

'''Boss:''' [[FunkyBird]] ("Func"), Female

''A bird spins a round on the stage. It is a poem with a hint of the exotic...''

'''Joins:''' Yes 

'''Details:''' The Room of Joy is a theater, likely based off of the ones that appear throughout the main series games. The boss is a [[FunkyBird]], which is the main attraction of the dance theater. The player must interact with [[FunkyBird]] twice to trigger the battle.

===Gate of Wisdom===
'''Floors:''' 14

'''Requirements:''' Clear C Class

''There are Facers, Tonguellas, [[Kingfuchsia|FloraJays]], Pteranods, and [[Sentripede|Armorpede]] living there! [[Kingfuchsia|FloraJays]] use [[Beast Tamer|BeastCut]]. The guardian there is a [[Ethereal serpent|SkyDragon]]. Its Scorching is powerful! You might want to take {{MFamilies}}s from the [[Material family|Objects]] or [[Dragon family|Dragons families]].

'''Monsters:''' [[Teaky mask|Facer]], [[Poxtongue|Tonguella]], [[Kingfuchsia|FloraJay]], [[Pteranodon|Pteranod]], [[Sentripede|Armorpede]]

'''Boss:''' [[Ethereal serpent|SkyDragon]]

''If you want to meet the [[Ethereal serpent|Dragon]], you should know its habits. A quote from the Record of the Journey by the legendary [[Monster Master|monster master]], Mary.''

'''Joins:''' No

'''Details:''' The Room of Wisdom is a maze, based off of [[Fifer's Spire]] in {{DQ3}}. The boss is a [[Ethereal serpent|SkyDragon]]. It flies about at the very top, and will mechanically move around based on [[Terry]]'s own movements within the maze. The easiest way to reach the [[Ethereal serpent|SkyDragon]] is the following: go to the far right rope and climb it until the [[Ethereal serpent|dragon]] goes to the rope second to the left, then descend and head straight up that rope. If the player wishes to start over, falling into the gap will reset everything.

===Gate of Happiness===
'''Floors:''' 17

'''Requirements:''' Clear B Class

''There are [[Ornery onion|Onionos]], [[Boring bug|Gophecadas]], [[Picksy|Pixy]]s, [[Gasbagon|Gasgons]], [[Skeleton soldier|DeadNites]], [[Crested loon|StubBird]]s, and [[Burr baby|SpikyBoys]] living there. [[Boring bug|Gophecadas]] use [[Beat|Whack]]. Get'em before they get you. The guardian there is a [[Jamirus]]. Watch out for its [[Multifists|QuadHits]]!''

'''Monsters:''' [[Ornery onion|Oniono]], [[Boring bug|Gophecada]], [[Picksy|Pixy]], [[Gasbagon|Gasgon]] [[Skeleton soldier|DeadNite]], [[Crested loon|StubBird]], [[Burr baby|SpikyBoy]]

'''Boss:''' [[Jamirus]]

''In the kingdom I visited, there was a {{MFamilies}} giving a speech. I was overwhelmed by its passion and could not talk to it. A quote from the anonymous record of a journey.''

'''Joins:''' No

'''Details''': The Room of Happiness is based off of the [[Isle o' Smiles]] in {{DQ6}}. The boss is a [[Jamirus]] and, as an obvious callback to its original appearance, is giving a speech to its {{MFamilies}} audience about a future of {{MFamilies}} paradise. The player must interact with [[Jamirus]] twice to engage the battle.

===Gate of Temptation===
'''Floors:''' 19

'''Requirements''': Clear B Class

''There are [[Burr baby|SpikyBoys]], [[Cobra king|KingCobras]], [[Platypunk|Mommonjas]], [[Slime knight|SlimeNites]], [[Scissor beatle|StagBugs]], [[MistyWing]]s, and [[Eyelasher|DarkEyes]] living there.

'''Boss:''' [[Demon-at-arms|Servant]] ("Mats"), Male

''The legend of the village of Lifecod. The evil lord sent [[Demon-at-arms|Servant]] from the bowels of hell...to enslave the burning village. Only a mighty hero can save them.''

'''Joins:''' Maybe

'''Details:''' The Room of Temptation is a burning village being attacked by {{MFamilies}}s, as a reference to [[Weaver's Peak]] in {{DQ6}}. The boss is a [[Demon-at-arms|Servant]]. To engage it in battle, [[Terry]] must answer "no" to its question, which is whether the player wishes to join the {{MFamilies}}s in destroying the village. If [[Terry]] answers "yes", he will need to talk to the boss again and answer "no".

This is the only boss battle where the fight is not a solo battle (as the [[Demon-at-arms|Servant]] is flanked by a [[Sintaur|Centasaur]] and [[Harmour|EvilArmor]]). As always, the [[Demon-at-arms|Servant]] must be defeated last if [[Terry]] wishes to recruit him (the other two are not recruitable).

After clearing the gate, if the player returns to the Room of Temptation, the fires will have been put out.

===Gate of Labyrinth===
'''Floors:''' 22

'''Requirements:''' Clear A Class

''There are [[Rubble slime|RockSlimes]], [[Biguana|Chamelgons]], [[Cactiball|CactiBalls]], [[Mad mollusk|TailEaters]], [[Quack up|DuckKites]], [[Silvapithecus|AgDevil]]s, and [[Gustbluster|WindMerges]] living there. [[Mad mollusk|TailEaters]] use [[Venom Breath|PoisonAir]], [[Quack up|DuckKites]] use [[Curses|Curse]], [[Cactiball|CactiBalls]] use {{Paralyze}}! The guardian there is a [[Damned ram|DarkHorn]].

'''Boss:''' [[Damned ram|DarkHorn]] ("Dark"), Male

''A quote from the journal of a journey by the legendary [[Monster Master|monster master]], Mary: It's a mysterious cave that seems to go on forever. It looks like there are many paths, but there is only one way to go to find the [[Damned ram|DarkHorn]].''

'''Joins:''' Maybe

'''Details:''' The Room of Labyrinth is a maze, based off of the [[Cryptic Catacombs]] in {{DQ6}} (although the boss itself is more so based off of the [[Second Test]] in the [[Hallowed Hollow]]). The Room of Labyrinth must be traveled in a specific set of directions, and will go on forever unless the player does so. The directions can be obtained in-game by the sleeping [[Green dragon|Dragon]] in the {{MFamilies}} stables, which are: Up, Up, Up, Left, Down, Down, upper Left. If the player wishes to give up, there are [[Teleportal|Traveler's Gates]] in every room, which will send the player back to [[GreatTree]] with the gate being left incomplete.

The boss is a [[Damned ram|DarkHorn]].

===Gate of Judgment===
'''Floors:''' 24

'''Requirements:''' Clear A Class

''There are [[WeedBug]]s, [[Hammerhood|HammerMen]], [[Deadly dodo|MadGeese]], [[Tree feller|TreeBoy]]s, are [[Mottle king slime|SpotKings]], [[Drohl drone|Drolls]], [[Dragonfry|LizardFlys]], And [[Giant moth|GiantMoths]] living there. Beware of [[Hatchet Man|EvilSlash]] and of [[Hammerhood|HammerMen]]! The guardian there is an [[Blackmar|Akubar]]. It uses [[Focus Pocus|Focus]] and [[Kaboom|Explodet]]!''

'''Monsters:''' [[WeedBug]], [[Hammerhood|HammerMan]], [[Deadly dodo|MadGoose]], [[Tree feller|TreeBoy]], [[Mottle king slime|SpotKing]], [[Drohl drone|Droll]], [[Dragonfry|LizardFly]], [[Giant moth|GiantMoth]]

'''Boss:''' [[Blackmar|Akubar]]

''A quote from the first victor of the tournament. A [[Monster Master|master]] is one who commands {{MFamilies}}s in fights. You must trust and love your {{MFamilies}}s. Without trust, no true [[Monster Master|master]] will emerge.''

'''Joins:''' No

'''Details:''' The Room of Judgment is based off of [[Gallows Moor]] in {{DQ6}}. The boss is an [[Blackmar|Akubar]]. To engage it in battle, the player must answer a set of questions posed by [[Blackmar|Akubar]]. First, [[Blackmar|Akubar]] will condemn [[Terry]] for committing the crime of "abusing" {{MFamilies}}s repeatedly. He will then prompt whether [[Terry]] recognizes his sin. If [[Terry]] answers "no", the battle will start. If [[Terry]] answers "yes", [[Blackmar|Akubar]] will then sentence [[Terry]] to death, and ask [[Terry]] if he accepts this punishment. If [[Terry]] answers "no", the battle will start. If [[Terry]] answers "yes", [[Blackmar|Akubar]] will command [[Terry]] to approach the nearby guillotine. [[Terry]] must interact with the guillotine and then approach [[Blackmar|Akubar]] once more. [[Blackmar|Akubar]] will ask if [[Terry]] has something to say. Regardless of his answer, the battle will start at this point.

===Gate of Reflection===
'''Floors:''' 28

'''Requirements''': Clear S Class

''I don't want to tell you this. I think [[Sculptrice|EvilBeasts]], [[Shadow]]s, [[Wraithwand|EvilWands]], [[Cyber slime|SlimeBorgs]], [[Mandrake major|LizardMen]], [[Ursa major|Grizzlys]], and [[Flame flower|FireWeeds]] were there. I remember there was a {{MFamilies}} that uses [[Burning Breath|PalsyAir]]. The guardian there was [[Dhuran|Durran]], or something like that...''

''I see... I don't remember much... But I think there were [[Chimaera|Wyverns]], [[Hyperanemon|Lionexes]], [[Hell hornet|MadHornets]], [[RotRaven]]s, and [[Goodybag|JewelBags]] living there. I think, [[Hell hornet|MadHornets]] attack with poison and [[paralysis]]... The guardian there was... No, I cannot. I have a headache! Leave me alone!''

'''Monsters:''' [[Sculptrice|EvilBeast]], [[Shadow]], [[Wraithwand|EvilWand]], [[Cyber slime|SlimeBorg]], [[Mandrake major|LizardMan]], [[Ursa minor|Grizzly]], [[Chimaera|Wyvern]], [[Flame flower|FireWeed]], [[Hell hornet|MadHornet]], [[Hyperanemon|Lionex]], [[RotRaven]], [[Goodybag|JewelBag]]

''Far beyond the Gate, lives your future self. Do not lose your true self, even if you meet your future self. A quote from the journal of a journey by a legendary [[Monster Master|monster master]], Mary.''

'''Joins:''' No

'''Details:''' The Gate of Reflection is the third and last required gate (as it must be completed to participate in the Starry Night Tournament). Since there is still time before the tournament starts, the King will order [[Terry]] to venture into the Gate of Reflection, as it is said that one will encounter his or her future self within. By doing so, the King hopes to find out the verdict of the tournament. It is said that no one cleared the Gate of Reflection before (some not even returning from their travels). The two {{NPC}}'s in the arena who give [[Terry]] information on the main [[Teleportal|Traveler's Gates]] are said to have given up on their [[Monster Master]] careers after returning from the Gate of Reflection. When spoken to after clearing S Class, each of them will only give [[Terry]] partial information on the Gate of Reflection and will express extreme discomfort in the process, indicating that the experience left them traumatized.

The Room of Reflection, as well as the boss battles, are references to the battle within [[Cloudsgate Citadel]] in {{DQ6}}. Note that two battles occur prior to the one with [[Dhuran|Durran]]: either one (in the {{3DS}} remake) or two (in the original and {{PS1}} remake) [[Demon-at-arms|Servants]] (whose attacks are identical to the one from the Gate of Temptation), and a "[[Terry|TERRY]]?" {{MFamilies}} (which is really the adult version of [[Terry]]). Note that if the player loses against either [[Terry]] or [[Dhuran|Durran]], he will not be required to reengage the preceding boss battles when reattempting the Gate of Reflection. In the {{3DS}} remake, the battle theme with [[Dhuran]] will be ''Ultimate True Evil'', which is used during final boss battles in the {{Monsters S}} series. Note that the Servants can be recruited if given enough meat, and can be either gender.

After [[Dhuran|Durran]] is defeated, adult [[Terry]] (whose identity is finally confirmed at this point) will approach his younger self and thank him for saving him, as well as apologizing for insulting him earlier in the Gate of Anger. Adult [[Terry]] will give young [[Terry]] the following advice: do not pursue power as it will consume and change him for the worst, and protect [[Milly|his sister]] at all costs. Afterwards, he will be whisked away by [[Scruffy|Warubou]] (in the original) or teleport himself away (in the {{PS1}} and {{3DS}} remakes). Soon afterwards, younger [[Terry]] will be returned to [[GreatTree]] by [[Fluffy|Watabou]]. Back in the throne room, the King will express disappointment that [[Terry]] did not find anything out about the tournament, but will nevertheless be unfazed as he has complete confidence in [[Terry]].

==Hidden Gates==
Gates that can essentially be accessed at any time, barring a few that require progression through the story before they can be accessed. The {{MFamilies}}s within these gates are usually more powerful than those the player would normally encounter if they take the time to access them instead of venturing through the main gates and beating rank battles. These gates have floors much smaller and easier to navigate than the main [[Teleportal|Traveler's Gate]]. It is recommended that the player use hidden gates to look for foreign [[Monster Master|master]]s, as the simpler mechanics of these floors allow for foreign [[Monster Master|master]] appearances to be easier to predict. The jester in the throne room will give [[Terry]] descriptions of the bosses in the hidden gates if he says "yes" to the first two prompts and "no" to the third one.

===Bazaar Gate #1===
'''Floors:''' 8

'''Requirements:''' Clear G Class; expendable {{MFamilies}} with a fire skill OR win the Starry Night Tournament

'''Monsters:''' [[Mousenap|FairyRat]], [[Bantamweight|BigRoost]], [[Mottle slime|SpotSlime]], [[Crested viper|Crestpent]], [[Small fry|DragonKid]], [[Killerpillar|Catapila]], [[Beanie meanie|BeanMan]], [[Imp|Demonite]], [[Walking corpse|Hork]], [[Jinkster|1EyeClown]]

'''Boss:''' [[Knight errant|MadKnight]] ("Pash"), Male

''The devil settled in a town of ruins. As if a guardian of the ruins... This is the last record of the lost town.''

'''Joins:''' Yes

'''Details''': Likely the first hidden gate players will find, accessed by giving the two men at a stove in the bazaar a {{MFamilies}} with a [[Frizz|fire]] [[Sizz|skill]] to get their stove started. If the player wins the Starry Night Tournament without unlocking this gate, the two men will move their stove on top of the [[Teleportal|Traveler's Gate]] for Bazaar Gate #2 regardless, thus bypassing the original unlocking requirement. While accessible after clearing Class G, the {{MFamilies}}s present in this gate are on par with those that would be encountered after clearing Class F.

The boss is a [[Knight aberrant|MadKnight]], based off of the one from the original {{Dragon Quest}} that guarded [[Erdrick's Armour|Erdrick's armor]] in the ruined town of [[Damdara|Hauksness]]. There is a good chance that [[Knight aberrant|MadKnight]] will use its skill [[Frenzy|Massacre]] on itself instead of the player, doing major damage to itself and potentially finishing the battle with minimal effort on the player's end.

===Well Gate===
'''Floors:''' 11

'''Requirements:''' Clear E Class; expendable {{MFamilies}} with a lightning skill

'''Monsters:''' [[Marrow escapee|BoneSlave]], [[Spiked hare|Almiraj]], [[Budding sorcerer|FloraMan]], [[Maulusc|GiantSlug]], [[Buddy slime|TreeSlime]], [[Wiggly|GiantWorm]], [[Bullfinch|BullBird]], [[Mud mannequin|MudDoll]], [[Erazor blade|SaberMan]], [[Metal slime|Metaly]]

'''Boss:''' [[Gigantes]] ("Gant"), Male

''In an enormous underground dungeon. I fear pitfalls with every step I take... Will I ever make it out? A quote from the masterpiece, A Journey to Londelkia.''

'''Joins:''' Maybe

'''Details:''' After clearing E Class, the doctor under the well will ask [[Terry]] for a {{MFamilies}} with a [[lightning]] skill. After [[Terry]] does so, the doctor's cauldron will be destroyed, revealing a [[Teleportal|Traveler's Gate]] underneath it.

The {{MFamilies}}s in this gate are on par with those encountered after clearing Class E. Note that [[Metal slime|Metalys]] can appear on the later floors, thus making this gate an optimal place to level up {{MFamilies}}s during the early-to-mid portions of the game. The last floor is a cavern filled with pitfalls, and is based off of the [[Cave to Rendarak]] in {{DQ2}}. Once [[Terry]] reaches this location, [[Scruffy|Warubou]] will appear and will attempt to transverse the maze before falling into one of the pitfalls. This will serve as a hint to [[Terry]], as the tiles that [[Scruffy|Warubou]] used are safe. If [[Terry]] falls through one of the pitfalls, he will end up back where he started (with the hole being covered back up).

Standing at the very end of the path will be the boss, [[Gigantes]] (while his position is directly south of [[Terry]]'s starting point, the single tile in between the two is a pitfall, thus requiring [[Terry]] to transverse the entire area before reaching [[Gigantes]]).

===Monster Farm Gate===
'''Floors:''' 11

'''Requirements:''' Clear the Gate of Anger

'''Monsters:''' [[Damselfly (DQVI)|FairyDrak]], [[Batterfly|Butterfly]], [[Raven lunatic|MadRaven]], [[Guaardvark|SkullRoo]], [[Mudslinger (monster)|Mudron]], [[Drake slime|DrakSlime]], [[Teaky mask|Facer]]

'''Boss:''' [[Float-o-copier|CopyCat]] ("Mime"), Female

''Sometimes a lie makes people happy but... eventually makes them unhappy... It's the mumbling of a man who was deceived by a {{MFamilies}}.''

'''Joins:''' Yes

'''Details:''' After clearing the Gate of Anger and triggering the first earthquake, the [[Teleportal|Traveler's Gate]] at the northeast end of the {{MFamilies}} farm will be accessible.

The {{MFamilies}}s in this gate are on par with those encountered after clearing Class D. The last floor is actually one of the houses in [[GreatTree]], with the interior being inaccessible prior due to the resident blocking the way past the entrance to protect his "Betty". The woman is actually a [[Float-o-copier|CopyCat]] in disguise. When interacted with, the disguised figure will ask [[Terry]] why he's here, with the following prompt in order: because of her beauty, if he was a thief, because of her beauty, if he was a [[Monster Master]] here to capture her, because of her beauty, and if he was a [[Monster Master]] here to capture her. The battle will start if [[Terry]] answers "yes" to the fourth and sixth prompt, or if he answers "no" to all six of her prompts.

Initially, the [[Float-o-copier|CopyCat]] will be fairly weak. However, it will transform itself into one of the player's {{MFamilies}}s, copying said {{MFamilies}}'s skills and stats (besides {{HP}}). After defeating the boss and clearing the gate, the man will express dismay that his "Betty" was actually a [[Float-o-copier|CopyCat]] when interacted with (which can be done directly via his house's entrance in [[GreatTree]], rather than going through the entire gate again). After the Starry Night Tournament, the man's dialogue will change, expressing his resolve to find the real Betty (as the [[Float-o-copier|CopyCat]] must have obtained its disguise from a real [[human]]).

===[[Muddy hand|Goopi's]] Gate #1===
'''Floors:''' 15

'''Requirements:''' Clear the Gate of Anger; beat [[Muddy hand|Goopi]] #2 in rock-paper-scissors five times in a row

'''Monsters:''' [[Wing slime|WingSlime]], [[Wax murderer|MadCandle]], [[Madusa|MedusaEye]], [[Mischievous mole|MadGopher]], [[Slabbit]], [[Cyclown|WindBeast]], [[Gasbagon|Gasgon]]

'''Boss:''' [[Palooka prawn|Digster]] ("Ebi")

''A mysterious spring where mysterious spirits live. Sometimes the spirits test the heart of travelers. A quote from the diary of a logger.''

'''Joins:''' Yes

'''Details:''' After clearing the Gate of Anger and triggering the first earthquake, the second [[Muddy hand|Goopi]] will be accessible via a new path at the bottom of [[GreatTree]]. To beat him in rock-paper-scissors, [[Terry]] must choose the following: Bomb, Crab, [[Bubble slime|Babble]], [[Bubble slime|Babble]], Bomb. Upon doing so, the left [[Fluffy|Watabou]] statue in the arena will move, allowing access to its [[Teleportal|Traveler's Gate]]. The {{MFamilies}}s in this gate are on par with those encountered after clearing Class C, and thus the gate is more difficult than the ones accessed at around this time.

The last floor is based off of [[Aurhea's Fountain]] in {{DQ3}}. When [[Terry]] approaches the lake, [[Scruffy|Warubou]] will appear out of nowhere, nab [[Terry]]'s lead {{MFamilies}}, and drop it into the lake. The spirit of the lake will call out to [[Terry]], asking if [[Terry]] lost one of his companions. When [[Terry]] answers "yes", the spirit will ask [[Terry]] if the following are the ones he lost: a meat item, an old guy, and the {{MFamilies}}. [[Terry]] must answer "no", "no", and "yes". If [[Terry]] answers any of the four questions incorrectly, he will be thrown back to [[GreatTree]], forcing him to redo the entire [[Teleportal|Traveler's Gate]] (although the lost {{MFamilies}} is returned to him regardless). Once [[Terry]] answers all the spirit's questions correctly, the spirit will reward [[Terry]]'s honesty with a [[Palooka prawn|Digster]], provided that he can defeat it - thus triggering the boss battle. Note that [[Palooka prawn|Digster]] can be either gender.

Unique to this gate is that the spirit will transport [[Terry]] back to [[GreatTree]] following the boss battle rather than [[Fluffy|Watabou]]. Also unique to this gate is that if [[Terry]] returns to the last floor after clearing the gate, rather than a portal being present to transport [[Terry]] back to [[GreatTree]], the spirit will transport [[Terry]] back instead.

===Medal Man's Gate===
'''Floors:''' 18

'''Requirements:''' Collect 19 [[Mini medal|Tinymedals]], obtain the [[Thunderbird|ZapBird]] egg, and speak to [[Metal slime|Metaly]]

'''Monsters:''' [[Will-o'-the-whips|NiteWhip]], [[Box slime|BoxSlime]], [[Cumaulus|Gismo]], [[Orc]], [[Restless armour|RogueNite]], [[Mean spirit|Reaper]]

'''Boss:''' [[King slime|KingSlime]] ("Kix"), Female; [[Lips|Lipsy]] ("LP"); [[Funghoul|Toadstool]] ("FG"), Female

''Choose one of the three Gates! One is the Room of the King. The other is the Room of Sweet Smells, and the last is the Room of Lips... A quote from Help for the Lost.''

'''Joins:''' Maybe

'''Details''': To unlock this gate, [[Terry]] must collect 13 [[Mini medal|Tinymedals]], obtain the [[Thunderbird|ZapBird]] egg from the Medal Man, and then speak to his [[Metal slime|Metaly]]. While this dungeon can be accessed as soon as both the Medal Man's chambers and [[Mini medal|Tinymedals]] are available (which is after clearing the Gate of Beginner for the former and G Class for the latter), the {{MFamilies}}s in this gate are on par with those encountered after clearing Class B (which is also around the time when the player will have realistically collected 13 [[Mini medal|Tinymedals]] to begin with).

The last floor is based off of [[Gardsbane Tower]] in {{DQ6}} (specifically the floor with three doors and the riddle). As such, [[Terry]] has the choice of three doors with each door holding a different boss: the left leads to [[Lips|Lipsy]], the middle leads to [[King slime|Kingslime]], and the right leads to [[Morphean mushroom|Toadstool]]. [[Terry]] may only choose once so it is strongly recommended to choose the room with the [[King slime|KingSlime]]. All three bosses require meat to be recruited. Note that [[Lips|Lipsy]] can be either gender.

===Library Gate===
'''Floors:''' 24

'''Requirements:''' Collect 100 species of {{MFamilies}}s

'''Monsters:''' [[Archdemon|ArcDemon]], [[Amber weed|AmberWeed]], [[Crabid|ArmyCrab]], [[Soulspawn |MadSpirit]], [[Malevolantern|CurseLamp]], [[Jackanape|WildApe]], [[Wyrtle|Tortagon]], [[Growlbear|LandOwl]]

'''Boss:''' [[Orochi]] 

''Far across the ocean, is the country of Jipangu. A [[Orochi|dragon]] with 8 heads lives there. Its name is [[Orochi]]! A quote from the diary of a legendary victor.''

'''Joins:''' No

'''Details:''' To unlock this gate, [[Terry]] must collect at least 100 different {{MFamilies}} species and speak with the librarian blocking the entrance to the restricted room. While this dungeon can be accessed whenever [[Terry]] fulfills its requirement (which can be as soon as breeding is first available), the {{MFamilies}}s in this gate are on par with those encountered after clearing Class A and thus can be overly difficult if attempted too early on.

The boss is an [[Orochi]], and is based off of its appearance in {{DQ3}} at [[Orochi's Lair|its cavern lair]]. Note that if the player defeats this boss before completing the Gate of Reflection, a cutscene will occur where [[Orochi]], upset over its loss, will try to destroy its surroundings, and adult [[Terry]] will arrive and finish off the {{MFamilies}} before it is too late.

==Family Gates==
Gates that can '''only be accessed after completing the game''' (winning the Starry Night Tournament and saving after the credits). Each gate holds {{MFamilies}}s of a particular family and features either a final boss or major antagonist of one of the mainstream games at the last floor. Note that none of the boss {{MFamilies}}s are recruitable. While six of these gates are already available through the Chamber of [[Teleportal|Traveler's Gates]], the remaining three must be uncovered similarly to hidden gates. The earlier floors of these gates hold {{MFamilies}}s previously encountered during the main play-through of the game and thus will be utterly underwhelming for the player (as these {{MFamilies}}s are not any different stat-wise from those encountered in previous gates). These gates are absent in the {{3DS}} remake, being replaced by ones that feature major antagonists and final bosses of the {{Monsters S}} series instead.

===Gate of Ambition===
'''Floors:''' 29

'''Requirements:''' Win the Starry Night Tournament

'''Monsters:''' [[Walking stick|GoHopper]], [[Army ant|ArmyAnt]], [[Killerpillar|Catapila]], [[Wiggly|GiantWorm]], [[Maulusc|GiantSlug]], [[Lunatick|Eyeder]], [[Batterfly|Butterfly]], [[Sentripede|Armorpede]], [[Boring bug|Gophecada]], [[Scissor beatle|StagBug]], [[Mad mollusk|TailEater]], [[WeedBug]], [[Drohl drone|Droll]], [[Giant moth|GiantMoth]], [[Crabid|ArmyCrab]], [[Hell hornet|MadHornet]]

'''Boss:''' [[Dragonlord|DracoLord]]

'''Joins:''' No

'''Details:''' Monsters in this gate are of the [[Bug family]]. The boss is [[Dragonlord|DracoLord]] of the original {{DQ}} in his first form. When interacted with, [[Dragonlord|DracoLord]] will ask [[Terry]] if he wishes to join [[Dragonlord|DracoLord]] in ruling the world, as he did in his original appearance. However, even if [[Terry]] answers "yes", it will be of no consequence as [[Dragonlord|DracoLord]] will remark that [[Terry]] is too young to join him and engage him in battle anyways. In the middle of the battle, it is likely that [[Dragonlord|DracoLord]] will use [[Puff!|BeDragon]], which will transform him into his true form (although in this game, all enemy {{MFamilies}}s that use [[Puff!|BeDragon]] take on this appearance). Note that [[Dragonlord|DracoLord]] is the easiest of all the family gate boss {{MFamilies}}s, and the player may wish to attempt this dungeon before the others.

===Gate of Demolition===
'''Floors:''' 28

'''Requirements:''' Win the Starry Night Tournament

'''Monsters:''' [[Stump chump|StubSuck]], [[EvilSeed]], [[Beanie meanie|BeanMan]], [[Budding sorcerer|FloraMan]], [[Monolog|WingTree]], [[Bad apple|Gulpple]], [[Mental pitcher|MadPlant]], [[Ornery onion|Oniono]], [[Cactiball|CactiBall]], [[Tree feller|TreeBoy]], [[Amber weed|AmberWeed]], [[Flame flower|FireWeed]], [[Chewlip|ManEater]], [[Scare root|DanceVegi]], [[Carnivine|Snapper]]

'''Boss:''' [[Hargon]] (first time), [[Malroth|Sidoh]] (second time)

'''Joins:''' No

'''Details''': Monsters in this gate are of the [[Nature family|Plant family]]. Unique to the Gate of Demolition is that there are two bosses, requiring [[Terry]] to transverse this gate twice to complete it. The first boss is [[Hargon]] from {{DQ2}}. After defeating him, both [[Hargon]] and [[Fluffy|Watabou]] will hint towards a greater threat. Indeed, once [[Terry]] goes through the Gate of Demolition again (its portal still spinning an indication that it is not complete), he will encounter [[Malroth|Sidoh]], the true final boss of {{Dragon Quest II}}.

===Gate of Mastermind===
'''Floors:''' 26

'''Requirements''': Win the Starry Night Tournament

'''Monsters:''' [[Dracky]], [[Bludgerigar|Picky]], [[Bantamweight|BigRoost]], [[Bullfinch|BullBird]], [[Raven lunatic|MadRaven]], [[Weaken beakon|MadPecker]], [[Kingfuchsia|FloraJay]], [[Crested loon|StubBird]], [[MistyWing]], [[Quack up|DuckKite]], [[Deadly dodo|MadGoose]], [[Growlbear|LandOwl]], [[Chimaera|Wyvern]], [[Elysium bird|MadCondor]], [[Thunderbird|ZapBird]], [[Gangleclaw|WhipBird]]

'''Boss''': [[Baramos]]

'''Joins''': No

'''Details''': Monsters in this gate are of the [[Bird family]]. The boss is [[Baramos]] of {{DQ3}}.

===Gate of Control===
'''Floors:''' 29

'''Requirements:''' Win the Starry Night Tournament

'''Monsters:''' [[Slime]], [[Mottle slime|SpotSlime]], [[Metal slime|Metaly]], [[Tree slime|TreeSlime]], [[Drake slime|DrakSlime]], [[Shell slime|Snaily]], [[Bubble slime|Babble]], [[Wing slime|WingSlime]], [[Slabbit]], [[Slime knight|SlimeNite]], [[Box slime|BoxSlime]], [[Rubble slime|RockSlime]], [[Mottle king slime|SpotKing]], [[Cyber slime|Slimeborg]], [[Liquid metal slime|Metabble]]

'''Boss:''' [[Zoma]]

'''Joins:''' No

'''Details''': Monsters in this gate are of the [[Slime family]]. The boss is [[Zoma]], the final boss of {{Dragon Quest III}}. The last 9 floors are the only locations in the entire game where [[Terry]] can encounter [[Liquid metal slime|Metabble]], the highest source of experience in the game. Thus, this gate is the best location for farming experience.

===Gate of Extinction===
'''Floors:''' 29

'''Requirements:''' Win the Starry Night Tournament

'''Monsters:''' [[Gremlin]], [[Imp|Demonite]], [[Jinkster|1EyeClown]], [[Skullrider|SkulRider]], [[Winky|EyeBall]], [[Madusa|MedusaEye]], [[Picksy|Pixy]], [[Eyelasher|DarkEye]], [[Orc]], [[Silvapithecus|AgDevil]], [[Archdemon|ArcDemon]], [[Sculptrice|EvilBeast]], [[Hyperanemon|Lionex]], [[Thwarthog|Grendal]], [[Ogre]], [[Moosifer|GoatHorn]]

'''Boss:''' [[Psaro the Manslayer|Pizzaro]]

'''Joins:''' No

'''Details:''' Monsters in this gate are of the [[Demon family|Devil family]]. The boss is [[Psaro the Manslayer|Pizzaro]], the final boss of {{DQ4}}, in his final and trademark form.

===Gate of Sleep===
'''Floors:''' 29

'''Requirements:''' Win the Starry Night Tournament

'''Monsters:''' [[Ghost|Spooky]], [[Walking corpse|Hork]], [[Marrow escapee|BoneSlave]], [[Putrefido|PutrePup]], [[Mudslinger (monster)|Mudron]], [[Mummy]], [[Skeleton soldier|DeadNite]], [[Will-o'-the-whips|NiteWhip]], [[Mean spirit|Reaper]], [[Gustbluster|WindMerge]], [[Soulspawn|MadSpirit]], [[Shadow]], [[RotRaven]], [[DarkCrab]], [[Skelegon|Skullgon]], [[Skeleton swordsman (recurring)|Skeletor]], [[Bone baron|DeadNoble]]

'''Boss:''' [[Estark]]

'''Joins:''' No

'''Details:''' Monsters in this gate are of the [[Undead family|Zombie family]]. The boss is [[Estark|Esterk]]. While the music in the last floor is of {{Dragon Quest IV}}, the surroundings of the area, as well as [[Estark|Esterk's]] dialogue, are based off of his appearance in {{Dragon Quest V}}. As always, [[Estark|Esterk]] has no recollection of who he is, and he is vulnerable to [[Snooze|Sleep]] spells.

===Bazaar Gate #2===
'''Floors:''' 29

'''Requirements:''' Win the Starry Night Tournament; {{MFamilies}} with a summoning skill

'''Monsters:''' [[Muddy hand|Goopi]], [[Erazor blade|SaberMan]], [[CoilBird]], [[Mud mannequin|MudDoll]], [[Teaky mask|Facer]], [[Wax murderer|MadCandle]], [[Burr baby|SpikyBoy]], [[Restless armour|RogueNite]], [[Cumaulus|Gismo]], [[Malevolantern|CurseLamp]], [[Wraithwand|EvilWand]], [[Goodybag|JewelBag]], [[Devil glass|MadMirror]], [[Pocus poppet|Voodoll]], [[Balzack|Balzac]], [[Metal dragon|MetalDrak]], [[Killing machine|Roboster]], [[Rockbomb|BombCrag]]

'''Boss:''' [[Nimzo|Mirudraas]]

'''Joins:''' No

'''Details:''' Monsters in this gate are of the [[Material family]]. To access this gate, [[Terry]] must present the two men at a stove in the bazaar with a {{MFamilies}} with a [[summon]] skill. Unlike previous instances, this {{MFamilies}} will not be taken away from [[Terry]]. The boss is [[Nimzo|Mirudraas]], the final boss of {{DQ5}}, in his first form.

===[[Muddy hand|Goopi]]'s Gate #2===
'''Floors:''' 26

'''Requirements:''' Win the Starry Night Tournament; beat [[Muddy hand|Goopi]] #3 in rock-paper-scissors five times in a row

'''Monsters:''' [[Feralball|PillowRat]], [[Mousenap|FairyRat]], [[Spiked hare|Almiraj]], [[Vampire cat|CatFly]], [[Guaardvark|SkullRoo]], [[Bagworm|Saccer]], [[Poxtongue|Tonguella]], [[Mischievous mole|MadGopher]], [[Cyclown|WindBeast]], [[Platypunk|Mommonja]], [[Rampage (monster)|Goategon]], [[Hammerhood|HammerMan]], [[Jackanape|WildApe]], [[Ursa minor|Grizzly]], [[Slugger|SuperTen]], [[Powie yowie|Yeti]], [[Armoured wartoise|IronTurt]], [[Drackal|GulpBeast]], [[Eyevory tusk-tusk|Trumpeter]], [[Ewwnicorn|Unicorn]]

'''Boss:''' [[Murdaw|Mudou]]

'''Joins:''' No

'''Details:''' Monsters in this gate are of the [[Beast family]]. To access this gate, [[Terry]] must beat the third [[Muddy hand|Goopi]] in rock-paper-scissors five times in a row (his room is to the right of the second [[Muddy hand|Goopi]], accessible upon clearing the Starry Night Tournament and triggering the third and final earthquake). To beat him in rock-paper-scissors, [[Terry]] must choose the following: Crab, Bomb, Crab, Bomb, [[Bubble slime|Babble]]. Upon doing so, the right [[Fluffy|Watabou]] statue in the arena will move, allowing access to its [[Teleportal|Traveler's Gate]]. The boss is [[Murdaw|Mudou]] of {{DQ6}}.

===Old Man's Gate===
'''Floors''': 29

'''Requirements:''' Win the Starry Night Tournament; find out little girl's name and present her grandfather with a [[Gem slime|GoldSlime]].

'''Monsters:''' [[Komodo|MiniDrak]], [[Small fry|DragonKid]], [[Crested viper|Crestpent]], [[Killer gila|Poisongon]], [[Damselfly (DQVI)|FairyDrak]], [[Pteranodon|Pteranod]], [[Gasbagon|Gasgon]], [[Cobra king|KingCobra]], [[Biguana|Chamelgon]], [[Dragonfry|LizardFly]], [[Wyrtle|Tortagon]], [[Mandrake major|LizardMan]], [[Nardragon|Swordgon]], [[Flython|WingSnake]], [[Terrorflyer|Rayburn]], [[Tortoceratops|Spikerous]], [[Drag-goof|MadDragon]], [[Jade dragon|Andreal]], [[Great dragon|GreatDrak]]

'''Boss:''' [[Mortamor|DeathMore]]

'''Joins:''' No

'''Details''': Monsters in this gate are of the [[Dragon family]]. To access this gate, [[Terry]] must first undergo a series of interactions with the bratty girl at the bottom of [[GreatTree]]. Finally impressed with him after winning the tournament, the girl will prompt [[Terry]] if he knows her name. To learn her name, [[Terry]] must read her father's journals describing his daughter, at the end learning that her name is "Santi". With this new knowledge, [[Terry]] will interact with the girl once more. As a favor, Santi will approach her grandfather (the stubborn old man who has been blocking access to a visible [[Teleportal|Traveler's Gate]] for the entire game). The old man will be willing to let [[Terry]] use his [[Teleportal|Traveler's Gate]] under one condition: that [[Terry]] present him with a [[Gem slime|GoldSlime]], the strongest {{Slime}} {{MFamilies}} in the game. Once [[Terry]] does so, he will have access to the Traveler's Gate.

The boss is [[Mortamor|DeathMore]], the final boss of {{DQ6}}, in his first form. Note that [[Mortamor|DeathMore]] is the strongest of all the evil lords, and the player may wish to save this dungeon for last.

==Trivia==
*There is coding of a [[Teleportal|Traveler's Gate]] that ultimately did not make the final cut for unknown reasons but can be accessed with a GameShark. The contents of the dungeon indicate that it was meant to supersede all other [[Teleportal|Traveler's Gates]] in terms of difficulty, having 99 floors and a variety of top-tier {{MFamilies}}s. While the final room does not contain a boss, the surroundings indicate that it was supposed to be [[Nokturnus|DarkDrium]], the superboss of {{DQ6}}, as well as the hardest {{MFamilies}} to obtain in the game.
