When spoken to, the Dragonlord will present the Hero with an opportunity to rule half of Alefgard with him. Answering 'no' results in the start of the battle with the Dragonlord. Answering 'yes' varies between the different versions. In the originals, the Dragonlord will give control of the World of Darkness to the Hero, the screen fades to black, and the menus become red, as if the Hero had been fainted/killed in battle. He will also state he will revive the hero if he falls in battle, even giving him a password in the Japanese Version. Gameplay will stop at this point. In the remakes, accepting the offer simply causes the hero to faint, and reappear outside Tantegel Castle.
When encountered at Charlock Castle, the Dragonlord offers the Hero an opportunity to rule half of Alefgard with him. The Hero refuses and eventually defeats the Dragonlord in battle, retrieving the Ball of Light.
 
The Hero can accept the Dragonlord's offer to rule half the world; what happens after that differs between versions. In the Famicom/NES release, the Dragonlord mocks the Hero while the menus turn red, the screen fades to black, and the game freezes, implying the Hero has died. In the Japanese Famicom version, the Dragonlord also provides a special [[Spell of Restoration]] that starts the player off at level 1 with no equipment. In the remakes, accepting the Dragonlord's offer merely causes the hero to faint and reappear outside Tantegel Castle.
