Appearances
Dragon Quest II
The mirror is hidden in a swamp west of Moonbrooke. 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 (Leaf of the World Tree, 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.
Dragon Quest III
The mirror can found in the Cave Southwest of Samanao. Using the mirror at night on the sleeping king of Samanao reveals him to be a Boss Troll. By defeating him, the hero's party receives the Change Staff.
Dragon Quest IV
The mirror is simply randomly dropped by float-o-copiers 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).
It is also buyable at the Immigrant Town's final form's casino for 10,000 tokens (Endor casino for only 2,500 tokens in the NES Version).
Dragon Quest V
The mirror is found in Abovitall Tower to the south of the aboreas teleportal, which is itself south of Heaven's Above Abbey. The mirror is used to reveal the true form of the Faux Dowager. Later, it can be used to force admirers to revert back to their normal forms.
Dragon Quest VI
The mirror is found in the Moonmirror Tower in the the Real World. It is used to reveal the Murdaw in the Phantom World to be the King of Somnia.
Dragon Quest VII
The Lar Mirror can be found in the Dark Palace near the end of the game. It is used in battle to change back creatures who use transform to turn into party members.
