	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.

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.

	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 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.
