	~~==Other bonus dungeons in the HD-2D remake of Dragon Quest II==~~
	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.

			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.

	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~~]].		==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.

	~~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\|third final boss~~]]).		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]].

	~~Other rare items found in~~ the dungeon ~~include an~~ [[~~exotoga~~]]~~, a~~ [[~~mad cap~~]], ~~a second~~ [[~~duplic hat~~]]~~, a third~~ [[~~meteorite bracer~~]], and ~~a [[Critical Claim]] scroll~~ (~~otherwise only available as~~ a ~~wish from~~ [[~~Xenlon~~]]).

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]]).
