Baramos's Lair Unveiled in Dragon Quest 3 Remake Guide

Dragon Quest 3 Remake: Conquering Baramos's Lair – 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 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 dungeon. Access is granted only after obtaining Ramia. Aim for a party level of at least 20 before tackling this challenge. The lair holds valuable items, detailed in the sections 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 the Necrogond Shrine to the island north of the Necrogond Shrine, nestled amidst mountains. This island is the lair's location. Ramia will deposit you near the entrance; simply proceed north to enter.

Navigating Baramos's Lair

Unlike typical dungeons, Baramos's Lair is a complex network of indoor and outdoor areas. The goal is to reach Baramos himself. The main outdoor area, "Surroundings," acts as a central hub. The following outlines the main path to the boss:

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. At the stairs leading to the pool, turn left (west) to another stair set. Ascend and enter the door on the right.
3. Proceed through the Eastern Tower to the roof exit.
4. Traverse the castle roof southwest, descend the stairs, continue west, and pass through the gaps in the northwestern double wall. Use the northwestern stair set.
5. The stairs lead to the Central Tower. Use Safe Passage to cross electrified floor panels, then descend to B1 Passageway A (southwest stairs).
6. In B1 Passageway A, turn east and proceed to the eastern stairs.
7. Ascend in the South-East Tower to the roof, then head west and descend to the western section. Cross the grass northwest and enter the available door.
8. This leads to a small section in the Central Tower's northeast corner. Exit to B1 Passageway B.
9. Traverse B1 Passageway B north and ascend the stairs.
10. Enter the Throne Room, avoid floor panels, and exit south.
11. From the "Surroundings" area, head east from the Throne Room (northwest) to the structure on the lake's northeastern island. This is Baramos's Den.
