The '''Maw of the Necrogond'''  is a cave in the [[Overworld (Dragon Quest III)|overworld]] of {{DQ3}}.

The cave connects to the [[Necrogond Shrine]], which is the location of the [[Silver Orb]]. 

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
The cave is notable for its high level of difficulty compared to locations visited prior to it, befitting its status as the final dungeon of the overworld. Winding paths, pitfalls, and strong {{MFamilies}}s wage a war of attrition on the party's resources and it is not uncommon for players to be forced to retreat on their first attempt through the cavern.

====Treasures====
*784 [[gold]] coins
*[[Mini medal]] x2
*[[Spiked armour]]
*[[Thunderbolt blade]]

====Monsters====
*[[Armful]]
*[[Boreal serpent]]
*[[Cureslime]]
*[[Elysium bird]]
*[[Firn fiend]]
*[[Freezing fog]]
*[[Goodybag]]
*[[Infanticore]]
*[[Liquid metal slime]]
*[[Minidemon]]
*[[Rockbomb]]
*[[Silhouette]]
*[[Troll]]
*[[Wyrtoise]]

====Usage of Maw of the Necrogond in another area====
*1F, 4F and B1F are used respectively as 1F, 2F and 6F of {{Cloudsgate Citadel 3}}.

==={{DQ3HD}}===
The Maw has been enlarged to a truly cavernous size but retains the same layout. The hallway of statues has been changed to a bridge over a chasm with titanic suits of armour crossing their swords, and there is a [[List of recruitable monsters in Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake|friendly mimic and troll]] waiting to be rescued from the dire abyss.
