Dragon Quest 3: Unveiling the Secrets of Baramos' Lair

Conquer Baramos's Lair in Dragon Quest 3 Remake: A Comprehensive Guide

After securing the Six Orbs and hatching Ramia, the Everbird, you're poised to challenge Baramos in his formidable lair. This dungeon serves as the ultimate test before venturing into the game's 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 dungeon. Access is granted only after acquiring Ramia. Aim for a party level of at least 20 before attempting this challenging encounter. The lair holds several valuable items, detailed below.

Reaching Baramos's Lair

Following the Maw of the Necrogond and obtaining the Silver Orb, Ramia becomes available. Fly from either the Shrine of the Everbird or the Necrogond Shrine. North of the Necrogond Shrine lies a mountainous island—Baramos's Lair. Ramia will transport you near the entrance.

Navigating Baramos's Lair

Unlike typical dungeons, Baramos's Lair involves traversing both indoor and outdoor areas. The objective is reaching Baramos. The main outdoor area, "Surroundings," serves as a central hub. The following outlines the optimal path to the boss fight, with treasure locations detailed separately.

Reaching Baramos – Main Path:

1. Upon entering from the overworld, bypass the main entrance. Instead, circumnavigate the castle's eastern side towards the northeastern pool.
2. Ascend the stairs to the pool, turn left (west), and climb another set of stairs. Enter the door on the right.
3. Navigate the Eastern Tower to its rooftop exit.
4. Traverse the castle roof southwestward, descend, continue west, and pass through the gaps in the northwestern double wall. Use the northwestern stairs.
5. The stairs lead to the Central Tower. Use "Safe Passage" to cross electrified floor panels and descend to B1 Passageway A.
6. In B1 Passageway A, proceed east to the easternmost stairs.
7. Enter the South-East Tower, heading northeast to the upper level. Traverse the roof westward and descend to the western section. Cross the grass northwestward and enter the available door.
8. This leads to a small section in the Central Tower's northeast corner. Exit.
9. In B1 Passageway B, proceed north and ascend the stairs.
10. Enter the Throne Room. Exit southward, avoiding floor panels.
11. From the Surroundings map, locate the Throne Room (northwest). Head east to the northeastern island structure—Baramos's Den, the boss arena.
