The opening cinematic of {{Dragon Quest II}} witnesses the attack on Moonbrooke and the death of its king. This event sets up the quest for the rest of the game.
The opening cinematic of {{Dragon Quest II}} in the North American [[NES]] version allows players to witness the attack on Moonbrooke and the death of its [[King of Moonbrooke|king]]. This event sets up the quest for the rest of the game.
During the game, Moonbrooke can be explored as a burned out ruin which then houses monsters. It is not required that the player visit in order to complete the game; however, useful information can be gained regarding how to find the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]] by speaking to the various ghosts of its citizens. If the player brings the princess and speaks to the ghost of her father, special dialogue will play.


During the game, the ruins of Moonbrooke can be explored, which is now full of [[List of world map terrain in the Dragon Quest series#Poison Swamp|poisonous swamps]] and infested with monsters. It is not required that the player visit in order to complete the game; however, useful information can be gained regarding how to find the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]] and also the [[Mirror of Ra]] by speaking to the various ghosts of its citizens.
In the remakes, the number of poison swamp tiles are decreased, along with the amount of damage taken from them. The background music is no longer [[Fright in Dungeon|''Fright in Dungeon'']] and has been changed to ''[[Requiem]]''. If the [[Prince of Cannock]] dies in battle, he will become a living dead, which can be cured after returning to [[Moonahan]]. Killing any surviving soldiers will result in the ghost of that soldier possessing the Cannock prince. The surviving soldier in the basement will die and turn into a spirit after talking to him once, but will disappear after the defeat of [[Malroth]] or after recruiting the princess, even without ever interacting with him. After the player defeats [[Malroth]], they can bring the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]] here and speak to the ghost of her father for special dialogue.

The [[Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake|HD-2D Remake]] establishes more about the general layout of the castle. Obtaining the [[Mirror of Ra]] before coming to the castle for the first time will remove dialogue of the [[Prince of Cannock|Cannock Prince]] lamenting the horrifying situation and neither the spirits of the [[King of Moonbrooke|King]] nor [[Queen of Moonbrooke]] will appear. The background music will change from ''[[Requiem]]'' to ''[[Château]]'' after obtaining the [[Eye of Rubiss]], and reconstruction of the castle will begin with soldiers of [[Cannock]] and [[Midenhall]] pitching in. Monsters will no longer spawn. In the ending, the souls of the King and Queen appear in the sky to see the princess off.

{{Translation|'''Moonbrooke'''|ムーンブルク島|Mūnburuku shima|Moonbrooke island}} is the third major story island visited by [[Malroth (Character)|Malroth]] and the [[Builder (Dragon Quest Builders 2)|Builder]]. When they arrive, it is in the midst of a seemingly never-ending war with monsters, led by the monster [[Atlas]] and divided into three groups; the Hair Force (furry monsters), the Air Force (flying monsters) and the Scare Force (big, tanky monsters). The geography of the island is vastly different to {{DQ2}}.{{spoiler|start}}Instead of Moonbrooke having flower fields and Rendarak being a snowy wasteland, it is shown the opposite way around. The characters are surprised by this, seeing such Rendarak with such lovely green plains which the [[King of Moonbrooke]] had described as "hell". Furthermore, the castle of [[Midenhall]] is where [[Rendarak]] castle should be, alluding to the fact that the world is actually the fake illusionary world [[Hargon]] summoned to defeat the [[Prince of Midenhall|three]] [[Prince of Cannock|scions]] [[Princess of Moonbrooke|of]] [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|Erdrick]].{{spoiler|end}}

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In {{DQB2}}, the Builder is confused as to why Moonbrooke is in shambles, as they come from the real world (the world of {{DQB2}}) where the [[Prince of Midenhall|three]] [[Prince of Cannock|scions]] [[Princess of Moonbrooke|of]] [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|Erdrick]] have already defeated Hargon and saved the Wworld. The King has no recollection of his daughter and is guilty over it. After the events of Moonbrooke, the Builder is able to bring [[Ra's Mirror]] over to the [[Furrowfield retriever]] they met in [[Furrowfield]], which reveals that the dog was actually a girl. She has blonde hair and has a white, princessy dress. It is unknown whether this dog is the Princess of Moonbrooke or not, especially considering the "Portrait of a Princess" in-game depicts her with pink hair.
*In the {{Dragon Quest II}} remakes, there are five treasure chests depicted in the prologue, while there are only two when the player visits, likely due to the monsters wreaking havoc.
*Interestingly, the official guidebook of the {{Dragon Quest II}} [[Wii]] version does not mention the [[Seed of Magic]] that can be found in the basement.
*In {{DQB2}}, the Builder is confused as to why Moonbrooke is still in shambles, as they come from the real world (presumably, the world of {{Dragon Quest II}}) where the [[Prince of Midenhall|three]] [[Prince of Cannock|scions]] [[Princess of Moonbrooke|of]] [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|Erdrick]] have already defeated Hargon and saved the world. However, in the [[Hall of Hargon|illusory world]] that {{DQB2}} takes place in, this is not true. The people around the Builder poke fun at them when they ask where the princess is, saying that there was no princess to save them from their misery. When prompted, the King says that he has no recollection of his daughter and is guilty over it.
