The Dragonlord's Castle (竜王の城 Ryūō no Shiro), known as Zoma's Citadel in Dragon Quest III, (ゾーマの城 Zōma no Shiro, "Zoma's Castle") and Charlock Castle in older localizations, is the name of the final dungeon in Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest III, and the lairs of Zoma, and later the Dragonlord. It is located in the central area of Alefgard, across the water to the southeast of Tantegel.
It also appears as a dungeon in Dragon Quest II, but is not vital to the plot of the game.
Synopsis
Charlock Castle generally serves as a main hideout for evil enemies. This is slightly less true in Dragon Quest II, where it has been primarily abandoned.
Appearances

Ruled by the Dragonlord. Erdrick's sword is found here in the subterranean section.

No great evil dwells here now, merely the grandson of the Dragonlord. Once again, Erdrick's sword is located here in the same chest as it was 100 years ago.

Monsters
Captain N: The Game Master
The castle appeared in the episode "Three Men & A Dragon" and was referred to as Castle Charlock. Princess Lana & Mega Man entered it, as they were unaware of it being the home of the Dragonlord. They ended up captured, and while in the dungeon, they encountered The Three Keepers of Power.
Places of interest
Hidden staircase
The castle has a hidden staircase on the first floor which is the correct path to reach the innermost areas of the castle in both Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest III. This staircase is referred to by various NPCs in both Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest III. In order to find the stairs, the hero must search behind the thrones in the middle of the first floor. All other paths from the first floor lead to a neverending maze.
Remakes
In the remake of both Dragon Quest II, the music used for the castle is the same as Dragon Quest, whereas in the NES Version, the game's regular dungeon music was used. The remake of III used the new BGM from The Castle of Baramos.
Another addition to the remake of Dragon Quest II is the throne room being present as it was with the first game, albeit in ruins.
