Conquering Baramos's Lair in Dragon Quest 3 Remake: A Comprehensive Guide
After securing the Six Orbs and hatching Ramia the Everbird, your journey culminates in Baramos's Lair. This challenging dungeon serves as a significant test before venturing into the underworld. This guide details navigating and conquering Baramos's Lair in Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake.
Baramos, the primary antagonist of the game's first half, resides within this formidable dungeon. Access is granted only after obtaining Ramia, who transports you to the lair's valley. Aim for a party level of at least 20 before tackling this challenge. The lair 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
Unlike typical dungeons, Baramos's Lair interweaves indoor and outdoor areas. The objective is to reach Baramos himself. The main outdoor area, "Surroundings," serves as a central hub. We'll outline the main path to the boss, followed by treasure locations on each floor.
Main Path to Baramos:
- Upon entering from the overworld, bypass the main entrance. Instead, circumnavigate the castle's eastern side towards the northeast 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, continue west, and pass through the gaps in the northwest double wall. Use the northwest staircase.
- The staircase leads to the Central Tower. Use Safe Passage to cross electrified floor panels and descend to B1 Passageway A.
- In B1 Passageway A, head east to the far eastern staircase.
- In the South-East Tower, proceed northeast to the staircase, ascend to the roof, and head west to another staircase. Cross the grass northwest and enter the door.
- This leads to a small section in the Central Tower's northeast corner. Exit.
- B1 Passageway B is a long corridor; proceed north to the staircase.
- Enter the Throne Room, and proceed south to the exit, avoiding floor panels.
- Return to the Surroundings map. Baramos's Den (the boss fight) is in the northeast structure, on an island in the lake.
