Dragon Quest II HD-2D Remake[edit]
The Scions of Erdrick are made aware of the tower when first speaking to Roge Fastfinger in the jail of Burrowell. The eccentric man explains that members of the Children of Hargon have taken residence in the tower and have used a strange jewel to do something peculiar to the minds of the people of Slewse, reducing them to mere children in adult bodies. Roge had locked the floodgates and taken the key with him as he fled the region, hoping that the monsters would be trapped in the tower long enough for him to find help, and he gives the key to the Scions. Upon opening the gates and flooding the river bed, the quartet are able to reach the tower by sailing to a lake just south of Slewse.
The Tower of the Moon is more akin to an ivy-covered ziggurat than a typical tower, walled by ceremonial spires. The windows and spire caps are all done in a rich sky blue, with the dome on the apex being a cream colour to represent the moon over the vast sky. The interior is a combination of navy blue with gold trim, and several constellations can be found on the walls and floors. As the player ascends the six storeys, the air is filled with a purple mist.
Upon entering the Scions of Erdrick witness an antlerkazam furiously scolding a group of people for seeing through the lies that the Children of Hargon told to lure them into the tower and decides to slaughter them then and there instead of tolerating their stubbornness to the top of the tower. The Scions of Erdrick make quick work of the monster, and the people they saved explained that the beast tricked them by pretending to be a kindly old priest to lower their guard. A young man states the group began to suspect him despite his disguise when he told them the Children of Hargon would reward them for committing crimes against their own neighbors; when the Princess of Moonbrooke points out that this is similar to what was seen in Rippleport and Moonahan, the Princess of Cannock suggests the tower may well be the cult's base of operations outside of Rendarak.
Reaching the top floor, the Scions witness the Lunagriff and a whackolyte are using a blood-red crystal to hypnotize a group of Slewse villagers into acting like children, ordering them to act upon every desire and give no heed for others. The quartet of heroes interrupt the brainwashing and press the Lunagriff for information. The birdbrain reveals that the operation was Pazuzu's idea, who realized that humans could be made to commit acts of wickedness more easily should they have the minds of petulant and selfish children. Ordering the whackolyte to take the crystal and flee to Pazuzu in the Volcanic Grotto before engaging the Scions.
Once the beast is dealt with, the Princess of Moonbrooke and the Prince of Cannock wonder why the Children of Hargon are so hellbent on spreading misery among humanity while the Princess of Cannock retrieves the moonshard from the Lunagriff's death grip. None of the four understand what purpose it serves but note that they can hear the sounds of waves emanating from it, and decide to return to Burrowell to inform Roge of what transpired as well convene with Elmoo about the whereabouts of Pazuzu.
