Dragon Quest 3 Remake: Conquering Baramos's Lair – A Complete Guide

After securing the Six Orbs and hatching Ramia the Everbird, your journey culminates in Baramos's Lair. This challenging 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 formidable fortress. Access is granted only after obtaining Ramia, who transports you to the lair's valley. Aim for a party level of at least 20 before tackling this challenge. The dungeon holds several valuable items, detailed in the following sections.

Reaching Baramos's Lair

Following the Maw of the Necrogond and acquisition of the Silver Orb, Ramia becomes available. Fly from either the Shrine of the Everbird or Necrogond Shrine to the island north of Necrogond, nestled amidst mountains. This island is the location of Baramos's Lair. Ramia will deposit you near the entrance; simply proceed north to enter.

Navigating Baramos's Lair

Unlike typical dungeons, Baramos's Lair involves traversing both indoor and outdoor areas. The objective is to reach the final boss chamber. This guide outlines the main path; treasure locations are detailed separately.

Main Path to 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 near the pool, turn left (west), and climb another set of stairs. Enter the door to your right.
3. Navigate the Eastern Tower to its rooftop exit.
4. Cross the castle roof southwestward, descend the stairs, continue west, and pass through the gaps in the northwestern double wall. Use the northwestern stairwell.
5. In the Central Tower, utilize the Safe Passage spell to cross electrified floor panels and descend the southwest stairs to B1 Passageway A.
6. In B1 Passageway A, proceed east to the easternmost stairs.
7. Ascend the stairs in the South-East Tower, heading northeast to the upper roof. Traverse west, descend, and cross the grass northwest to the only available door.
8. This door leads to a small section in the Central Tower's northeast corner. Exit this area.
9. In B1 Passageway B, proceed north to the stairs.
10. Enter the Throne Room, navigate the floor panels, and exit south.
11. On the Surroundings map, locate the northeast island structure (Baramos's Den) to initiate the boss battle.
