The four of them travel to Mudo's castle, in the original world. After defeating Mudo, the Hero uses the Mirror on him. Mudo then turns into the king of Reidock, confused and unaware of what happened. The king reveals that the original world is in fact the Dream World and the Phantom World is the Real World. Upon traveling back to the Real World, the King of Reidock thanks the party for defeating Mudo in his dreams, but that the real Mudo lives and that the party must travel to Gent to retrieve a boat to get to Mudo's lair. In Gent, Chamaro, a healer, joins the party and allows them to use the Gent Clan's ship. During the fight with the real Mudo, the Hero gets sent back to Lifecod, like before. However, with the Mirror of Ra, the Hero warps back into the battle and defeats Mudo.

The Queen of Reidock tells the Hero to discover who he really is. The quest leads the party to Arcbolt, where a terrible monster is blocking a nearby cave. The reward for defeating the monster is the famed Sword of Thunder, but before the party can strike the final blow, a warrior by the name of Terry kills the monster, winning the sword. After traveling both worlds, the party learns that Mudo was not the only evil in the world, having fought several other monsters that all seem to be connected.

In Calberona, the party learns that this is Barbara's home.<ref>'''Mrs. Calbe''': But, Barbara, you should remain here as the new elder. As a descendant of the sorceress, it is your obligation. {{cite video game|title=Dragon Quest VI |developer=Enix |publisher=Enix |date=2007-07-26 |platform=Super Famicom |language=English}}</ref> The elders tell Barbara that the Demon Lord is watching her and give her the powerful spell Madante to fight him. The party also learns that the only way to get to the Demon Lord is through Zenith Tower, but to activate the tower, they need to collect the sword, armor, shield, and helmet of legend. While doing so, the Hero meets his double in Real Lifecod, who gets spooked, and speaks 'Y-You. Y-You're m-m-me!', and says that he must prove himself to be faithful to his family if he is to join powers. Returning to Real Reidock, the King and Queen tell the Hero that he is indeed the prince.<ref>'''Shera''': Now you can take your rightful place as prince of Reidock. {{cite video game|title=Dragon Quest VI |developer=Enix |publisher=Enix |date=2007-07-25 |platform=Super Famicom |language=English}}</ref> When he fused with his clone, the Hero gained his memory back, much like Mireyu and Hassan had done.
