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's Lair in Dragon Quest 3 Remake. This dungeon serves as the ultimate test of your skills before venturing into the perilous underworld. This guide details navigating and conquering Baramos's Lair in the Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake.

Baramos's Lair, the formidable stronghold of the Archfiend Baramos, remains inaccessible until you acquire Ramia. Aim for a Hero level of at least 20 before embarking on this challenging quest. The dungeon holds valuable treasures, detailed in subsequent sections.

Reaching Baramos's Lair

Having conquered the Maw of the Necrogond and obtained the Silver Orb, you unlock the Everbird. Access Baramos's Lair by summoning Ramia from either the Shrine of the Everbird or the Necrogond Shrine.

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

Navigating Baramos's Lair

Baramos's Lair deviates from typical dungeon structures. Instead of a linear progression, you'll traverse indoor and outdoor areas to reach Baramos.

The initial area, "Baramos's Lair – Surroundings," acts as the central outdoor hub. The following outlines the optimal path to the boss:

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 near the pool, then turn west to another stairwell. Proceed up and locate the door to your right.
3. Enter the Eastern Tower, ascend to the top, and exit.
4. Traverse the castle roof southwestward, descend, continue west, and pass through the gaps in the northwestern double wall. Use the northwestern stairwell.
5. The stairwell leads to the Central Tower. Navigate southwest towards the stairs, utilizing "Safe Passage" to cross electrified panels. Descend to B1 Passageway A.
6. In B1 Passageway A, proceed east to the easternmost stairwell.
7. Enter the South-East Tower. Head northeast, ascend the stairs to the roof, then head west and descend again. Cross the grass northwest and enter the only available door.
8. This leads to a small section in the Central Tower's northeast corner. Exit via the single path.
9. You'll find yourself in B1 Passageway B. Proceed north and ascend the stairs.
10. Enter the Throne Room. Avoid floor panels and proceed south to the exit.
11. You're back in the Surroundings area. The Throne Room is northwest; proceed east to the northeastern structure (on an island) – Baramos's Den, where the final battle awaits.
