In the remake of {{Dragon Quest V}}, a book in [[Heaven's Above Abbey]]  called 'The Maiden of Abovitall Tower' reads, "There was once a girl who climbed a tower where the Goddess was said to live, because she wanted to find out if the Goddess really existed. The Goddess put many obstacles in the young girl's path, but she courageously persevered until she reached the top of the tower. There, legend has it that the Goddess rewarded her by bestowing on her a mysterious mirror with the power to reflect the truth".<br>

This is obviously referring to Ra's Mirror. The girl must have brought it back to [[Abovitall Tower]] for some reason because later in the game, the {{Hero 5}} goes to Abovitall Tower and goes through probably the same annoying puzzles she did to get it.

The mirror is hidden in a swamp east of [[Moonbrooke]], and its location is hinted by the ghost of the king of Moonbrooke. It can be found by searching the swamp tile where 4 bridges are visible on the screen. It is one of only 3 items to be found by searching on the world map ([[Yggdrasil leaf]], [[Sunken Treasure]]).

The mirror is used to reveal the true form of the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]]. At the beginning of the game, she is transformed into a dog by a curse from [[Hargon]]. Using the mirror in front of the dog in [[Hamlin]] breaks the curse on her and she then joins the party.  The mirror itself cracks afterwards and is no longer in the inventory.

The mirror is simply randomly dropped by [[Float-o-copier]]s and has no relevance to the plot as with the previous two games. Indeed, players can finish the game without ever obtaining it, let alone using it. In this game, it can be used to return float-o-copiers to their true forms after they [[Morph]] into a party member, though this is not required to defeat them (especially as the {{Zenithian sword}} can also undo Morph).
