Conquer Zoma's Citadel in Dragon Quest 3 Remake: A Comprehensive Guide

This guide provides a complete walkthrough of Zoma's Citadel in Dragon Quest 3 Remake, the game's climactic final dungeon. It's a challenging gauntlet requiring strategic use of everything learned throughout the game. We'll cover reaching the citadel, navigating each floor, defeating the bosses, and identifying all treasure.

Reaching Zoma's Citadel

After defeating Baramos, you'll enter the darkened world of Alefgard. To reach Zoma's Citadel, you must obtain the Rainbow Drop:

• Sunstone: Found in Tantegel Castle.
• Staff of Rain: Found 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 Drop, forming the Rainbow Bridge leading to Zoma's Citadel.

Zoma's Citadel Floor Walkthroughs

1F:

Navigate around the chamber to reach the throne. Activating it reveals a hidden passage. Defeat the Living Statues guarding the central chamber.

• Treasure 1: Mini Medal (behind throne).
• Treasure 2: Seed of Magic (electrified panel).

B1:

This floor contains a single isolated chamber accessible from 1F.

• Treasure 1: Hapless Helm

B2:

This floor features directional tiles. Practice using similar tiles in the Tower of Rubiss if needed. The key is understanding the color-coded directional inputs (blue/orange for north/south, orange arrow for east/west).

• Treasure 1: Scourge Whip
• Treasure 2: 4,989 Gold Coins

B3:

Follow the outer path. A detour to the southwest corner reveals Sky, a friendly Soaring Scourger. A separate isolated chamber (accessible via B2's pitfalls) contains another friendly monster, a Liquid Metal Slime.

• Treasure 1 (Main Chamber): Dragon Dojo Duds
• Treasure 2 (Main Chamber): Double-Edged Sword

Defeating Zoma's Minions and Zoma Himself

Before facing Zoma, you'll battle:

• King Hydra: Vulnerable to Kazap. Aggressive tactics are beneficial.
• Soul of Baramos: Weak to Zap.
• Bones of Baramos: Similar weaknesses to the Soul; higher damage output requires careful health management.

Zoma: This final battle requires a strategic approach. Initially, Zoma has a magic barrier. Wait for the prompt to use the Sphere of Light, removing the barrier and making Zoma vulnerable to Zap attacks (Kazap is highly effective). Prioritize HP and MP management; revival spells are crucial.
