Midenhall

From Dragon Quest Wiki

Midenhall, also known as Lorasia, is a castle located in northeast Torland, and is the starting location of Dragon Quest II. It is one of the three kingdoms established by the descendant of Erdrick and Lady Lora. Midenhall is the home of the Prince of Midenhall, the main protagonist of Dragon Quest II, and is the starting and ending point of the game. At the beginning of the story, a wounded soldier arrives from the kingdom of Moonbrooke to tell the king of the events of Hargon's attack on his cousin's castle.

Often thought to be the most powerful due to the strength possessed by the Prince of Midenhall, it is where the wounded solider from Moonbrooke goes instead of Cannock which is much closer.

Staff of Thunder

Midenhall has a jail that houses an Evil Clown (a Magus in the Game Boy Color remake) that will drop the Princess of Moonbrooke's best weapon, the Staff of Thunder.

If sold, you can receive another one through saving and resetting, and then fighting for the Staff again. Though both remakes remove the trick allowing for only one Staff.

Notes

  • The name Lorasia derives from Lady Lora. She and the hero from Dragon Quest traveled to new lands after the events of Dragon Quest. Lorasia is likely one location they founded as it is also ruled by one of their descendants.
  • The first floor of Hargon's Castle is initially an illusion of Midenhall. The Rubiss Charm is necessary to dispatch the illusion and proceed to Hargon's throne room.
