Dragon Quest III Remake Guide: Conquering Baramos's 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 a crucial 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, inaccessible until Ramia is unlocked. 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 acquisition of the Silver Orb, Ramia becomes available. Access Baramos's Lair by flying from either the Shrine of the Everbird or the Necrogond Shrine.

North of the Necrogond Shrine lies a mountainous island—Baramos's Lair. Ramia can transport you directly to the dungeon entrance. Proceed north to enter.

Navigating Baramos's Lair

Unlike typical dungeons, Baramos's Lair is a complex network of indoor and outdoor areas. The objective: reach Baramos.

The main outdoor area, "Baramos's Lair – Surroundings," serves as a central hub. The following outlines the optimal path to the boss fight:

Reaching Baramos:

1. Upon entering from the overworld, bypass the main entrance. Instead, circumnavigate the castle's eastern side to the northeastern pool.
2. Ascend the stairs near the pool, turn left (west), and climb another staircase. Enter the door on your right.
3. Navigate the Eastern Tower to its roof exit.
4. Traverse the castle roof southwest, descend, continue west, and pass through the gaps in the northwestern double wall. Use the northwestern staircase.
5. The staircase leads to the Central Tower. Use "Safe Passage" to cross electrified panels and descend to B1 Passageway A.
6. In B1 Passageway A, head east to the far eastern staircase.
7. Ascend the stairs in the South-East Tower (southeast section), proceed northeast to the next staircase, and descend to the western section. Cross the grass northwest and enter the door.
8. This leads to the northeast corner of the Central Tower. Exit through the single available path.
9. In B1 Passageway B, proceed north to the staircase.
10. Ascend to the Throne Room. Avoid floor panels and exit south.
11. From the Surroundings map, locate the northeastern island structure (Baramos's Den) for the final confrontation.
