Dragon Quest II (originally titled Dragon Warrior II in North America, and receiving the subtitle Luminaries of the Legendary Line in some later versions) is the second installment of the Dragon Quest series and acts as a Distant Sequel to the original. It was originally released on the Famicom on January 26, 1987. After the events of that game, the descendant of Erdrick married Princess Gwaelin and sailed away from Alefgard. They founded the kingdom of Torland where the couple and their children happily lived out their days. Generations later, chaos broke out with rumors of a powerful evil being emerging from the southern impassible cliffs of the frozen plateau, Rendarak. His name was Hargon, an Evil Sorcerer bent on world destruction. He chose Moonbrooke Castle to launch his reign of terror.Hargon's army swept in and decimated the castle, its inhabitants, and the King within minutes. A lone, injured guard escaped and walked to the nearby fortress of Midenhall Castle. No sooner had he told the king of Moonbrooke's defeat that he perished. Now, as a descendant of Erdrick, the Prince of Midenhall must venture out to meet his two cousins and stop the evil hand of Hargon. With a larger world and many new monsters (who now travel in groups), the heroes have a much harder and more dangerous adventure than their ancestor.From a historical perspective, DQ2 is an odd duck - while its influence on its own successor is all-encompassing (every major gameplay system, or near-as-dammit, in DQ3 was designed with consideration from the feedback Chunsoft got concerning DQ2 and its trouble areas), and while it was in many ways comprehensively superior to its predecessor, because said successor so thoroughly outclassed it in turn and went on to become the real cornerstone of the franchise and the wider concept of the JRPG, and because DQ2 itself still had a lot of rough edges due to its incredibly short development time (barely six goddamn months) and still being somewhat "in the reeds" design-wise as a result of being such an early RPG, it has become the uncomfortable middle child of the Erdrick Trilogy. It is still important, but it is often forgotten in favor of the other two and not played or discussed as often. If it has any enduring claim to Trope Codification, it is in setting the model for party progression - if a JRPG isn't using the DQ3 "make and/or swap out the whole party yourself" system, it will instead follow DQ2's model of "travel to certain new locations early in the game, some plot happens, gain one new party member each time", and late-game party customization often hybridizes the two.This is reflected in its porting and release history - it did get an MSX port (complete with that salacious picture of Princess Moonbrooke), but that was more or less it until it got ported to the Super Famicom in a package deal with DQ1, and even then, the porting felt rather perfunctory compared to DQ1's improvements (and nothing like the SFC port of DQ3). It also got Game Boy Color and feature phone versions like its trilogy-mates, but again it was not particularly high-effort for a port. It got a smartphone version in 2014, based on the SFC version but with DQ3-size sprites... on the unaltered SFC maps, which makes things look oddly scaled. The game was re-released as part of the Dragon Quest 1+2+3 Collection for the Nintendo Switch on September 27, 2019. Of these, English speakers got the GBC, smartphone, and Switch versions, the latter two of which remain widely available. | |

| Dragon Quest II (Video Game) / int_112daba0 | comment |
Retired Badass: The messenger didn't go to Midenhall to get the prince to help. He wanted THE KING. Unfortunately, the two kingdoms have probably been out of touch for a while, as Midenhall's king notes that he's a bit too old to be adventuring about. Have at it, my boy. He officially retires as the Prince of Midenhall gets his Awesome Moment of Crowning in the finale. Not a bad boost from your "parting gift" at the start. Justified, considering that he is a descendent of Loto/Erdrick along with his royal counterparts in the other kingdoms. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Dragon Quest II (Video Game) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Compared to the Dragonlord, who was a fairly one-note villain of evilness that mostly kidnapped the first game's Princess Gwaelin and defeated would-be adventurers that came after him off-screen, Hargon outright starts this game off with the genocide of the Moonbrooke Kingdom and is explicitly utilizing demons rather than merely monsters to aid his bid for conquest, immediately establishing a higher stakes adventure than the previous title. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Dragon Quest II (Video Game) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Only in Japan. Tonnura (トンヌラ) was one of Cannock's possible names in the Famicom version. Supposedly, the name sounds "odd and stupid" to several Japanese people, which fit how weak the prince was on the FC. It became an in-joke as a "weak and uncool" name (but not "hated"), and popped up in a few later games. It is speculated that Yuji Horii came up with this from Ernest Tonnelat. Perhaps a western equivalent would be something like "Derp". (The localizers of Dragon Quest IX apparently weren't aware of the joke in the Japanese version and instead call him Prince Princeton of Cannock.) | |

Lured into a Trap | |
| Dragon Quest II (Video Game) / int_34c3144b | comment |
Lured into a Trap: The trap would be rather obvious to onlookers. You see an enemy on-screen move into a room, and said room contains a wizard - he then says he will guide you to the place where you shall find the Sigil. The treasure chest he leads you to is empty, instead you are ambushed by four Gremlins and need to defeat them before getting the Star Sigil. A tool-assisted speedrun of the game has those four gremlins caught off-guard by the hero, despite the game presenting them as surrounding ambushers that caught the party by surprise. | |

Opening the Sandbox: First game in the franchise to include sailing. Your party obtain their ship when they reach Rippleport, whereupon you can finally explore the whole world, rather than just the central landmass, whatever you please. | |

Rare Random Drop | |
| Dragon Quest II (Video Game) / int_4afad1b9 | comment |
Rare Random Drop: From the NES version: The Dragon Potion/Rebirth Stone, an item which allows you save your game anywhere (even the interior of a dungeon or tower) notebut it only saves gold and character levels, on reload you appear at the last place you physically saved at.. It is a rare drop from Liquid Metal Slimes, provided you can find them and kill them. Multiple times. The infamous "Mad Cap". The only enemies who can drop it are the Tyrannodactyl (a normal late-ish game enemy that's only in a few select areas) and two of the bosses (Pazuzu and Hargon to be specific) in the final boss rush. It has a notoriously low drop rate well below 1%. This item is so infamous that Pokémon creator Satoshi Taijiri originally got the idea of trading collectibles in video games while grinding countless hours for the thing, only for his friend to somehow get two. The remakes add one in a chest in the Cave to Rendarak. | |

Useless Useful Spell | |
| Dragon Quest II (Video Game) / int_4c709317 | comment |
Useless Useful Spell: Averted with prejudice. If you don't utilize your arsenal of debuffs, you'll spend a lot of time dead. There's several brute force spells, but they are much more expensive to cast and aren't always a OHKO, meaning the enemy is still hitting you. Having both spellcasters repeatedly debuff while your hero kills the enemy party one by one is actually a pretty good tactic in the late game. Played straight with Kamikazee, a spell that kills the user and all non-boss targets on the field, meaning it's the designated last-resort tactic. Problem is, the only playable character to learn this is the Prince of Cannock, and, barring remakes (where the Princess of Moonbroke can learn Kazing), he's the only one that learns Kazing. Even worse, you can only carry one Yggdrasil leaf at a time (a single-use revive item) and all revivals leave the revived character at really low HP, meaning spending more MP/items to heal back up. However, when used against you, Kamikazee is GUARANTEED to cause a Total Party Kill, since Kamikazee kills targets with perfect accuracy and to the enemy, 'all targets' means 'your entire party'. The Princess of Moonbrooke's Click Spell spares you the trouble of lugging around four different keys, freeing precious inventory space. Unfortunately, she learns Click Spell at level 23 (NES/SNES/GB) or 36 (mobile/Switch). Unless you have been power-grinding, the odds are that you have no doors left to open by that point. | |

Chromatic Arrangement | |
| Dragon Quest II (Video Game) / int_59275ef7 | comment |
Chromatic Arrangement: Midenhall wears blue, Cannock wears green, and Moonbrooke wears... varying colors, actually. The original, original art (seen above) was obviously meant to be pink (of course), but the sprite in-game was, thanks to NES palette restrictions, white and fairly dark purple. Later depictions have gone all over the place on certain details, but have generally cleaved closer to the original sprite due to fandom mental inertia. Her most recent depiction, in the 25th anniversary movie, Fortune Street and onward, goes for a knee-length white dress, maroon-red hood, and purple hair. | |

To make matters worse, you can't defeat them then leave to save and heal and return. They come back if you exit the dungeon (unless you are playing one of the remakes, where they stay dead after getting killed). | |

Almost Dead Guy | |
| Dragon Quest II (Video Game) / int_61356a74 | comment |
Almost Dead Guy: One Moonbrooke guard escapes the besieged castle, limps all the way to Midenhall, and promptly dies after delivering the news. Given all the overworld threats, how urgent the message was, and that he's just some castle guard, he easily qualifies as Badass Normal and Determinator. He doesn't fade in the remakes, he just lays there dead. Although the king makes sure he gets a proper burial. | |

In the original, depending on your cash flow, this is Cannock's best weapon, despite being weaker than the Iron Spear/Lance's single strike (by 15, sure, but do the math, especially when you factor in critical hits). However, it is REALLY expensive, even with the Gold/Loyalty Card, and you may not even bother once you're rich enough in the final area, because you'd have to go through the final area all over again. | |

Permanently Missable Content: If you have a completely full inventory when you come across the Silver Key, do NOT decline to drop one of your items to make room for it, or else the chest holding the key will disappear. The "Click" spell keeps this from being a Game-Breaking Bug, but it does mean a lot of extra grinding before you can open silver doors. | |

Missed Him by That Much: The Prince of Midenhall and the Prince of Cannock spend the first minutes of game looking for each other. The Hero arrives at Cannock Castle and finds out the Prince has gone to the Spring of Bravery/Wellspring of the Hero. In said Wellspring, he is informed the Prince has gone back to the castle. The Hero walks back to Cannock Castle and is said the Prince has headed towards Midenhall Castle to find him. The Hero goes back to his home, and is said his cousin has returned to Cannock to meet him. The Hero makes his way back to Cannock, but he finds out the Prince has not yet arrived, so he heads towards Leftwyne, a town located midway between Midenhall and Cannock, where he finally runs into the Prince. | |

Total Party Kill | |
| Dragon Quest II (Video Game) / int_73f7b5a5 | comment |
Total Party Kill: The Batmandrills and their equivalents in the remakes are a late game random encounter enemy that can cast the spell Kamikazee. They rarely cast it, but if they do, your entire party will be instantly killed no matter what. You can't do anything to safeguard against it, and you don't get a saving throw. Do not pass GO, do not collect $200. The enemy technically dies too, but even if the last enemy casts it and the whole field on both sides is wiped out as a result, you still lose. | |

Giant Space Flea from Nowhere | |
| Dragon Quest II (Video Game) / int_902fa0b4 | comment |
Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: Malroth (Sidoh in the Japanese version). In the original NES English translation, at least. Absolutely nothing in the entire game even hinted at his presence aside from a quest item called the Eye of Malroth (called "False Idol" in the mobile/Switch remake). In the Japanese version and further English translations, Malroth is revealed to be the demonic god that Hargon worships. In the SFC/GBC/mobile/Switch versions, the Almost Dead Guy does mention that Hargon's master plan is to revive a demon god to destroy the world, but considering any further references to said demon god don't show up until when said demon god appears, it still feels like this trope. | |

Combos | |
| Dragon Quest II (Video Game) / int_991912ca | comment |
Combos: The Falcon Blade. For the first time in the series, a character could strike twice in a row. Unfortunately, the Attack buff was only PLUS FIVE (Seven in the remakes, but still, whoopdeedoo).note In comparison, the Sword of Ruin, which is available at the same time, gives more than 11 times the attack buff of the Falcon Blade. Granted the Sword of Ruin is cursed, but even comparable level non-cursed equipment is 7 or 8 times more powerful than the Falcon Blade. In the original, depending on your cash flow, this is Cannock's best weapon, despite being weaker than the Iron Spear/Lance's single strike (by 15, sure, but do the math, especially when you factor in critical hits). However, it is REALLY expensive, even with the Gold/Loyalty Card, and you may not even bother once you're rich enough in the final area, because you'd have to go through the final area all over again. The point of the Falcon Blade is probably to increase your chances of killing Metal Slimes and Liquid Metal Slimes, since you can only deal Scratch Damage to them regardless of attack power. It essentially doubles your potential damage to them. | |

In the NES, his best gear was roughly The Prince of Midenhall's early to middle-game gear, and due to everyone only having TWO non-HP/MP stats, he could die A LOT if you weren't careful. He was upgraded notably in the I+II SNES remake. This is taken to Rule of Funny levels in Fan Art based off his NES days. He's often waking up or sleeping in his coffin, or just dead. The Princess of Moonbrooke also qualifies, but to a far lesser extent. | |

Competitive Balance | |
| Dragon Quest II (Video Game) / int_9f4a47f2 | comment |
Competitive Balance: The three playable characters: Midenhall has the higher offensive and defensive stats by far, but he knows exactly zero spells; Cannock is weaker and definitely less resilient, but he can still deal decent damage and has access to several healing and attack spells; finally, Moonbrooke has the lowest physical attack of the trio, but she learns the most powerful magic in the game. | |

Curse: Hargon really likes his curses. He curses the entire castle of Moonbrooke after its fall, turns the princess into a dog, and as the heroes draw closer to his kingdom, he curses the Prince of Cannock to become bedridden, prompting a side quest to cure him (Remake only. Furthermore, you can beat the final boss without him, hard as it may be). | |

Boring Return Journey | |
| Dragon Quest II (Video Game) / int_cd30716e | comment |
Boring Return Journey: The game does not conclude with the defeat of Malroth. You complete the game by returning to visit the King of Midenhall and you can go anywhere you like before doing this, including visiting towns to receive thanks from all the people you've saved. While getting to the Big Bad involves thousands of random battles, after his defeat, there are none to be found, even in the dungeons, since apparently defeating the boss results in the elimination of all his mooks. | |

Serial Escalation | |
| Dragon Quest II (Video Game) / int_ce104b8e | comment |
Serial Escalation: True in some senses, but in others not as prominent as Enix wanted people to believe, back in the day. The world map, in particular, was an example - the game world was often touted as being "four times as large" as DQ1 and as including the all of the first map as a mere "part" of the bigger overworld... but this was achieved by shrinking Alefgard's landmass and removing most of its content. Only Tantegel, Charlock, and the South Rimuldar Temple can be visitednote well, okay, you can also visit the Rimuldar Tunnel, but it's the saddest, most pointless little cave in the whole game, and the Alefgard landmass itself is less than half the size it used to be. In real terms, the game is bigger than DQ1, but not four times - it's not even twice the size, and is still one of the shorter DQ games. | |

Anti-Frustration Features: If, for some reason, you don't find all the keys...worry not! The Princess of Moonbrooke learns the spell of Click which will open any door in the game. It is possible to use this to your advantage, seeing as how it can also open up 3 item slots for your characters. Since there are no MP restoring items and only one item that can revive a character, some items can replicate magic spells with no MP cost. The Power Shield will cast Midheal on the character who uses it as an item in battle, for example. This lets you save MP from healing and use it for other spells, like buffs/debuffs and Kazing. | |
