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 formidable dungeon serves as the ultimate test before venturing into the subterranean world. This guide details navigating and conquering Baramos's Lair in the HD-2D Remake.

Baramos, the primary antagonist of Dragon Quest 3 Remake's first half, resides within this dungeon. Access is granted only after acquiring Ramia, who provides aerial transport to the lair's valley. Aim for a party level of at least 20 before embarking on this challenging quest. The lair holds several valuable items, detailed in the sections below.

Reaching Baramos's Lair

Following the Maw of the Necrogond conquest and acquisition of the Silver Orb, Ramia, the Everbird, becomes accessible. 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 directly to the dungeon entrance. Proceed north and enter.

Navigating Baramos's Lair

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

The initial area, "Baramos's Lair – Surroundings," serves as the central outdoor 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 towards the northeastern pool.
2. Ascend the stairs leading to the pool, then turn left (west) to another stairwell. Ascend and locate a door to your right. Enter.
3. Navigate the Eastern Tower to its rooftop exit.
4. Traverse the castle roof southwestward, descend, continue west, and pass through gaps in the northwestern double wall. Use the northwestern stairwell.
5. The stairwell leads to the Central Tower. Use Safe Passage to cross electrified floor panels, then descend to B1 Passageway A.
6. In B1 Passageway A, proceed east to the far eastern stairs.
7. Enter the South-East Tower, heading northeast to the upper level. Traverse the roof westward and descend to the tower's western section. Cross the grass northwestward and enter the only available door.
8. This leads to the Central Tower's northeast corner. Exit via the single pathway.
9. You'll be in B1 Passageway B. Proceed north to the stairs.
10. Enter the Throne Room. Avoid floor panels and exit southward.
11. You're back in the Surroundings area. The Throne Room is northwest; head east to the northeastern island structure—Baramos's Den, the boss arena.
