In the fifth chapter, the Secret of Evolution has transformed him into a more powerful being: Baalzack (or "Balzack+"). He is occupying the empty Castle [[Zamoksva]]. He is very arrogant, and disliked even by his subordinate [[demon]]s. His intention, he says, is to enhance his body to be even more godlike than [[Psaro the Manslayer]], but he lacks the [[Armlet of Transmutation]] which allows him to use the full power of the Secret of Evolution. With the help of the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|hero]], Maya and Meena are able to finally defeat him.
