After you defeat Zoma in his Castle and escape to the Cave north of Ludatorm, exit the Cave and you will hear a rumble which tells you the hole to the World above closed: now you can only cast Return to the five towns in Alefgard. Not only this: with the death of Zoma the light returned to the dark Alefgard. Return to Ludatorm and get hailed as a hero there. Talk with the King and he will tell you what you already knew: The Hole to the World above has closed and the light has returned thanks to Zoma's Death. Then he gives you the title of the hero, Erdrick (Loto in the GBC version). The credits will then roll over the screen until the text "To be continued in Dragon Quest I-II" appears.

Reset the game and try to reload your savestate: you will see the hero title "Loto" appears next to your name. Now that you are given the title, you can go to the Sky World, that is the bonus dungeon. In the Sky World you can obtain more treasures, but also meet new and stronger monsters. The last step in the Sky World is the wish filled by God Dragon/Divinegon once you defeat him.

When you enter it you will probably get the feeling you know this dungeon, and you're right: this part is from Necrogond Cave, as well as every other level of the Bonus Dungeon is taken from other places. You will recognize a lot of places as you walk through the dungeon.

Anyway, go north then west for a chest which contains a '''{{~|Enemies#Mimic|Mimic}}'''. You may as well ignore it and go east until you find a path going north. There is another chest with a '''Strength Seed''' inside. Grab it then go east, north and then west all the way. The chest at the dead end contains a '''Staff of Reflection'''. Now go east to the stairs to the next level.

You will pop up in an arena. You've only been outside of the battle arenas to bet on monsters, but now you're battling a monster in the arena yourself. The audience outside the arena tells you good luck while the monster, a {{s|Enemies|Baramevil}}, asks you, why you so weak are. You can battle him if you want, or ignore and walk around him and continue on. There is a '''[[File:Dragon Warrior 3 GBC Token.png]] Token / [[File:Dragon Warrior 3 SNES Pachisi Ticket.png]] Pachisi Ticket''' hidden in the ground near the monster. After the monster, there is a small and monster-free floor from the lighthouse. Going down the stairs brings you finally to Zenithia.

After reaching Zenithia, add it to the Return-List so you don't need to walk through the entire dungeon again. The King welcomes you to Zenithia, introduces himself as King Zenith, and tells you that the God Dragon/Divinegon will grant any wish you choose. The Bard in the right room will give you three riddles to solve. The Bard is in the top right corner. The staircase at the bottom leads to the Old Man.

Once you're done in Zenithia, go downstairs and talk with the old man. He will ask you if you want to meet the God Dragon/Divinegon and offer you medicine from the boiler. Check both pots for a '''[[File:Dragon Warrior 3 TinyMedal.png]] TinyMedal / [[File:Dragon Warrior 3 SNES Small Medal.png]] Small Medal''' and a '''[[File:Dragon Warrior 3 GBC White Amulett.png]] Flee [[File:DW3 ring.png]] / [[File:Dragon Warrior 3 SNES Ring.png]] Flee Ring'''.

Beginners should be around level 60 or higher and also have good equipment.

She has many devastating spells like Explodet/Kaboom that hits your party for over 100 damage. Not only that, she can also put your characters to sleep and remove any buffs just like Zoma. She has over 7000 HP (7300 to be exact), so get prepared for a long battle and support your party with spells like Bikill/Oomph, Barrier/Insulatle, and Increase/Kabuff. Lightning/Kazap and Blazemost/Kafrizzle are great offensive choices, each dealing about 200 damage. Don't forget to heal with two Sage's Stones or with HealUsAll/Omniheal. Note that it's probably better to equip your party with armor and/or shields that reduce breath damage and/or reduce magic damage. The light dress is a great option, but there are many others as well. In this fight it can be better to opt for slightly lower defense in order to have these improved resistances.


So get prepared for a long battle and buff up your party with Bikill, Barrier, Increase, etc. Lighting and Blazemost will hurt the dragon pretty bad for 200 damage each time. Don't forget to heal with 2 Sage's Stone or with HealUsAll. For defeating him you will receive 50,000 exp and sometimes he drops a Strength Seed. Also if you defeat him under the timelimit, then he will grant you a wish, but only one. So choose wisely which you want:
For defeating Xenlon you will receive 50,000 experience and sometimes she drops a Strength Seed. If you defeat her within the time limit, then she will grant you a wish, but only one. So choose wisely which one you want:

The Naughty Book change your Personality to Lewd (Man)/Sexy (Woman). Reviving your Father bring your Father back to life and he will be in Aliahan by the Side of your Mother. Other than that nothing special happens. The best thing is obviously the Pachisi Track which will now be in the Well in Zipangu with many good stuff to grab.

If you want a second wish granted, then return to her again and beat her within '''25 rounds'''! If you also want to get the third and further Wishes, then you need to win the battle within '''15 rounds''', which is incredibly hard, but [[../Parties#A Different Approach|feasible]].
 
Here are a few tips for beating him within 15 rounds:
* Try using HealUsAll to improve your per-turn healing efficiency. This allows sages or pilgrims to cast other spells like BlazeMost. Often it can be better to risk not healing right away, and let HealUsAll pick up the slack later, because it does everything all in one go. Whereas HealUs or sage's stones aren't very efficient due to the much lower hp per character per turn that they offer. If you only have one starry bracelet (the double agility accessory), put it on your hero to increase the chances he'll take his turn before Divinegon does. This can mean the difference between an epic save with HealUsAll versus multiple dead party members.
* Keep count in your head of how many turns have gone by. Once you're at about turn 12, it probably makes sense to stop casting spells like HealUsAll, Revive, Bikill, Increase, or Barrier, and instead go all out with offensive spells like BlazeMost and Thordain. It's fine if one or two characters die in the last couple rounds.
* Top up each character's mana if necessary, by equipping the Goddess Ring right before Divinegon and walking around. This area doesn't have any enemy encounters but you'll still regenerate mana. This is especially important if it enables your hero to cast HealUsAll another couple of times.
* Keep a leaf of the world tree on your hero and/or fighter, that way they have the option of reviving a dead sage or pilgrim.
* In some cases it makes sense to skip healing a character that you'd otherwise heal in a normal fight, so that your party can do more damage instead. Take the risk that a character might die and then just revive them if needed. Often they'll luck out for a couple turns rather than dying right away, allowing everyone to get more damage in.
* If you're using a warrior, turn it into a fighter instead at the Shrine of Dhama, and level it back up. The fighter has a much higher chance for critical strikes, approximately equal to its level divided by 256. For example a level 50 fighter has about a 20% chance of critical, or about 1 in 5 hits, whereas all other character classes have a flat 1 in 64 chance. Don't equip the fighter with the wreck whip for this battle because anyone using a whip will not perform critical hits. The beast claw works great, and it's possible that the dragon claw is even slightly better due to the bonus damage against dragons. Put the wreck whip on your hero instead.
* Keeping your fighter in a Bikill/TwinHits state is more useful than also keeping your hero in that state, because the fighter will be attacking every single round, whereas the hero will sometimes be casting HealUsAll or Thordain. If Divinegon is being particularly wicked with many spell-negating icy pulses, it can be better to give up on casting Bikill on the hero, and instead spend the turns casting BlazeMost.
* If you have a pilgrim and/or wizard in the party and you keep missing the 15 turn threshold by a large margin, it's time to bite the bullet and replace them with sages instead, or convert them if you still have a zen book.
