Dragon Quest III Remake: Conquer Baramos's Lair

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

After acquiring the six Orbs and hatching Ramia, the Everbird, you're ready to confront Baramos in his formidable lair. This dungeon serves as a crucial test before venturing into the perilous 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 challenging 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 attempting this encounter. The lair holds valuable treasures, detailed in the sections below.

Reaching Baramos's Lair

Following the Necrogond Maw's completion and the Silver Orb's acquisition, Ramia becomes available. Fly from either the Everbird Shrine or the Necrogond Shrine to Baramos's Lair. North of the Necrogond Shrine lies a mountainous island concealing the lair's entrance. Ramia will deposit you near the dungeon entrance; simply proceed north to enter.

Navigating Baramos's Lair

Unlike typical dungeons, Baramos's Lair interweaves indoor and outdoor sections. The goal is to reach Baramos. The main outdoor area, "Surroundings," serves as a central hub, connecting all structures. This guide outlines the main path to the boss fight, with treasure locations detailed separately for each area.

Main Path to Baramos:

1. Upon entering the lair, bypass the main entrance. Instead, circumnavigate the castle's eastern side towards the northeastern pool.
2. Ascend the stairs to the pool, then turn left (west) to another stairwell. Climb and enter the door on your right.
3. Navigate the Eastern Tower to its rooftop exit.
4. Traverse the castle roof southwest, descend, and pass through the gaps in the northwestern double wall. Use the northwestern stairwell.
5. In the Central Tower, utilize Safe Passage to cross electrified floor panels and descend 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 roof, then west to another stairwell. Cross the grass northwest and enter the door.
8. Exit the short section in the Central Tower's northeast corner.
9. Proceed through B1 Passageway B north to the stairs.
10. In the Throne Room, avoid floor panels and exit south.
11. On the Surroundings map, locate Baramos's Den (northeastern island structure) to initiate the boss fight.
