Conquering Baramos's Lair in Dragon Quest 3 Remake: A Comprehensive 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 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 dungeon. 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 lair holds several valuable items, detailed below.

Reaching Baramos's Lair

Following the Maw of the Necrogond and acquiring the Silver Orb, Ramia becomes available. Fly from either the Shrine of the Everbird or Necrogond Shrine to an island north of the Necrogond Shrine, nestled amidst mountains. This is Baramos's Lair. Ramia will deposit you near the entrance; simply proceed north to 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 main outdoor area, "Surroundings," serves as a central hub. The following outlines the optimal path to the boss:

Reaching Baramos:

1. Upon entering from the overworld, bypass the main entrance. Head east, towards the northeastern pool.
2. Turn left at the stairs leading to the pool, proceeding west to another stairwell. Ascend and enter the door on your right (Eastern Tower).
3. Reach the Eastern Tower's summit and exit.
4. Traverse the castle roof southwest, descending to the lower level. Navigate west through gaps in the northwestern double wall, using the northwestern stairwell.
5. This leads to the Central Tower. Use Safe Passage to cross electrified panels and descend to B1 Passageway A (southwest).
6. In B1 Passageway A, head east to the far eastern stairs.
7. This leads to the South-East Tower. Ascend the northeastern stairs to the roof, then head west and descend again. Cross the grass northwest and enter the only door.
8. This leads to a small section in the Central Tower's northeast; exit immediately.
9. In B1 Passageway B, proceed north and ascend the stairs.
10. Enter the Throne Room. Avoid floor panels and exit south.
11. In the "Surroundings" area, locate the northeastern structure on the lake island – Baramos's Den, the boss arena.
