Charlock Castle (DracoLord's Castle, Zoma's Castle) is the name of the final dungeon in Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest III. It also appears in Dragon Quest II but is not vital to the plot of that game. It is located in the central area of Alefgard, southeast of Tantegel across the water.

Hidden Staircase

The castle has a hidden staircase on the first floor which is the correct path to reach the innermost areas of the castle in both Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest III. This staircase is referred to by various NPCs in both Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest III. In order to find the stairs, the hero must search behind the thrones in the middle of the first floor. All other paths from the first floor lead to a neverending maze.

Version Differences

The castle in Dragon Quest III is notably larger than the castle in Dragon Quest. This seems backwards as the events of Dragon Quest actually take place several hundred years after the events of Dragon Quest III. Overall, a majority of the floor layouts are nearly identical between the two games.
