Conquering Baramos's Lair in Dragon Quest 3 Remake: A Comprehensive Guide
After securing the Six Orbs and hatching Ramia, the Everbird, you're ready to confront Baramos. 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's Lair houses the Archfiend Baramos, the primary antagonist of the game's first half. Access is granted only after obtaining Ramia. Aim for a party level of at least 20 before attempting this challenge. The dungeon holds valuable items, detailed in the sections below.
How to Reach Baramos's Lair
Having completed the Maw of the Necrogond and acquired the Silver Orb, you unlock the Everbird. Reach Baramos's Lair by flying from either the Shrine of the Everbird or the Necrogond Shrine.
North of the Necrogond Shrine lies an island nestled amidst mountains – Baramos's Lair. Ramia can transport you directly to the dungeon entrance.
Baramos's Lair Walkthrough
Baramos's Lair differs from typical dungeons. Instead of a linear progression, you'll traverse indoor and outdoor areas to reach Baramos. The main outdoor area, "Surroundings," serves as a central hub. This guide outlines the main path to the boss fight, with treasure locations detailed separately.
Main Path to Baramos:
- Upon entering from the overworld, bypass the main entrance. Head east, towards the northeastern pool.
- Ascend the stairs near the pool, turn left (west), and climb another set of stairs. Enter the door on your right.
- Navigate the Eastern Tower to its top and exit.
- Cross the castle roof southwest, descend, continue west, and pass through the gaps in the northwestern double wall. Use the northwestern stairs.
- In the Central Tower, use "Safe Passage" to cross electrified floor panels and descend to B1 Passageway A.
- In B1 Passageway A, head east to the easternmost stairs.
- Ascend the stairs in the South-East Tower, heading northeast to the roof, then west to another set of stairs down. Cross the grass northwest and enter the door.
- Exit the small northeastern section of the Central Tower.
- Traverse B1 Passageway B north and ascend the stairs.
- Enter the Throne Room, avoiding floor panels, and exit south.
- From the "Surroundings" area, locate the northeastern structure (on an island) – Baramos's Den, where the boss awaits.
