Cloudsgate Citadel (bonus dungeon)

(Redirected from Cloudsgate Citadel (Bonus Dungeon))

Cloudsgate Citadel is the name of the bonus dungeon that appears in the 16-bit remake and ports of Dragon Quest III. It is a homage to the original flying castle of the Dragon Quest VI, which was the most recent title in the series when the SFC remake of III was released in 1996.

AppearancesEdit

Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of SalvationEdit

 
Monsters introduced the first new dungeon in Dragon Quest III.

The citadel is reached by stepping into the light of the stained glass windows at the Castle of the Dragon Queen, although this only occurs if the player has already defeated Zoma and seen the ending, earning the "Erdrick" title on their save file on the loading screen.

The party will find themselves on a small, floating island surrounded by thick clouds. On this island is a deep cave, containing many rooms resembling those seen previously. The floors include:

Many fierce monsters populate this dungeon, including Baramos doppelgangers known as Baramonsters. The final room of the dungeon is a Monster Arena, where the heroes fight inside the ring. Once this room is passed, the party will enter a duplicate of the Queen of Isis' throne room. A monarch calling himself King Zenith sits on the throne.

TreasuresEdit

A man in the throne room will ask the player three riddles, with each one rewarding the player with an incredible item:

Xenlon the divine dragonEdit

 

The final boss at the end of the dungeon is Xenlon, the divine dragon. He rests at the apex of the citadel among the clouds, and will grant the player one wish from a list of options if they can defeat him within a certain number of turns.

MonstersEdit

Dragon Quest III HD-2D RemakeEdit

The dungeon below the citadel remains unchanged aside from the alterations that affected the component sections, but the castle proper now has a merchant who sells rare items and a talking cat will in form the player of how many monsters remain to be rescued out in the world. There is now a friendly metal slime, green dragon, and she-slime in the overworld map, lava room, and below the monster arena room respectively, and the citadel hosts a cureslime.
