Conquer Baramos's Lair in Dragon Quest 3 Remake: A Comprehensive Guide
After securing the Six Orbs and hatching Ramia, the Everbird, you're ready to challenge Baramos's Lair in Dragon Quest 3 Remake. This challenging dungeon serves as the ultimate test before venturing into the underworld. This guide details navigating and conquering Baramos's Lair.
Baramos's Lair, home to the Archfiend Baramos, is inaccessible until you unlock Ramia. Aim for a party level of at least 20 before attempting this encounter. The dungeon holds valuable items, detailed in the sections below.
Reaching Baramos's Lair
Following the Maw of the Necrogond and acquiring the Silver Orb, Ramia becomes available. Fly from either the Shrine of the Everbird or Necrogond Shrine to the island north of Necrogond, nestled amidst mountains. This island houses Baramos's Lair. Ramia will deposit you near the entrance; simply proceed north to enter.
Navigating Baramos's Lair
Baramos's Lair deviates from typical dungeon structures. Instead of linear progression, you'll traverse indoor and outdoor areas to reach Baramos. The main outdoor area, "Surroundings," serves as a central hub. The following outlines the optimal path to the boss fight:
Reaching Baramos – Main Path:
- Upon entering from the overworld, bypass the main entrance. Circumnavigate the castle eastward to the northeastern pool.
- Ascend the stairs to the pool, turn left (west), and climb another staircase. Enter the door on your right.
- Navigate the Eastern Tower to its top and exit.
- Traverse the castle roof southwestward, descend the stairs, continue west, and pass through the gaps in the northwestern double wall. Use the northwestern staircase.
- The staircase leads to the Central Tower. Proceed southwest, utilizing Safe Passage across electrified panels. Descend to B1 Passageway A.
- In B1 Passageway A, turn east and proceed to the eastern staircase.
- Enter the South-East Tower. Head northeast, ascend the staircase to the roof, and proceed west before descending again. Cross the grass northwestward and enter the only available door.
- This door leads to a small section in the northeast corner of the Central Tower. Exit through the single available passage.
- You'll now be in B1 Passageway B. Proceed north and ascend the stairs.
- Enter the Throne Room. Avoid floor panels and exit southward.
- From the "Surroundings" map, locate the Throne Room (northwest) and proceed east to the northeastern island structure. This is Baramos's Den, where the boss awaits.
