This guide provides a complete walkthrough of Zoma's Citadel in Dragon Quest 3 Remake, including treasure locations and strategies for defeating each boss. After the epic journey through Alefgard, the final challenge awaits.

Reaching Zoma's Citadel

Following Baramos's defeat, you'll enter the shadowed world. To access Zoma's Citadel, you need the Rainbow Drop, crafted from:

• Sunstone: Found in Tantegel Castle.
• Staff of Rain: Located in the Shrine of the Spirit.
• Sacred Amulet: Received from Rubiss after rescuing her in the Tower of Rubiss (requires the Faerie Flute).

Combine these items to create the Rainbow Bridge, your path to the citadel.

Prepare for a challenging encounter with Living Statues in the central chamber.

Defeating Zoma and His Minions

The final battle is a gauntlet: King Hydra, Soul of Baramos, Bones of Baramos, then Zoma. Utilize items between each fight.

• King Hydra: Vulnerable to Kazap. Aggressive tactics are effective.
• Soul of Baramos: Weak to Zap attacks. Use strategies from the previous encounter.
• Bones of Baramos: Similar weaknesses to the Soul. Prioritize healing.
• Zoma: Initially shielded against magic. Wait for the Sphere of Light prompt to remove the barrier. Exploit his weakness to Zap attacks after the barrier is down. Prioritize strategic play over aggression; healing and revives are crucial.
