==History==

Manoza has been taken over by a [[Boss Troll]] who is impersonating the king via the [[Mod Rod]]. The real king has been imprisoned deep within the castle. The heroes must retrieve the [[Ra's Mirror]] from the [[Manoza Cave]] and use it on the imposter king while he sleeps in order to reveal his true identity. This will trigger a boss fight with the troll.

While under the control of the imposter king, entrance to the castle through the main entrance is restricted. Instead, the heroes can use a side entrance designed for deliveries which is accessible via the [[Magic Key]].

*Manoza is the only only town other than the [[Immigrant Town (Dragon Quest III)|Immigrant Town]] to have different townspeople placement at a certain time during the events of the game.
