Dragon Quest III Remake: Traverse Baramos's Abode

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 in his lair. This challenging dungeon serves as the ultimate 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, inaccessible until Ramia's acquisition. Aim for a party level of at least 20 before attempting this challenge. The lair holds several valuable items, detailed in subsequent sections.

Reaching Baramos's Lair

Following the Maw of the Necrogond and obtaining the Silver Orb, Ramia becomes available. Access Baramos's Lair by flying from either the Shrine of the Everbird or the Necrogond Shrine.

North of the Necrogond Shrine lies a mountainous island—Baramos's Lair. Ramia will transport you directly to the dungeon entrance. Proceed north and enter.

Navigating Baramos's Lair

Unlike typical dungeons, Baramos's Lair involves traversing both indoor and outdoor areas. The objective: reach Baramos.

The initial area, "Baramos's Lair – Surroundings," acts as the central outdoor hub. We'll outline the main path to the boss fight, followed by treasure locations on each floor.

Main Path to Baramos:

1. Upon entering from the overworld, bypass the main entrance. Instead, circumnavigate the castle's eastern side toward the northeast pool.
2. Ascend the stairs to the pool, then turn left (west) to another stairwell. Climb and enter the door on the right.
3. Navigate the Eastern Tower to its top and exit.
4. Traverse the castle roof southwest, descend, continue west, and pass through the gaps in the northwest double wall. Use the northwest stairwell.
5. The stairs lead to the Central Tower. Use "Safe Passage" to cross electrified panels and descend to "B1 Passageway A."
6. In B1 Passageway A, head east to the far eastern stairs.
7. Enter the South-East Tower, proceed northeast to the stairs, ascend to the roof, and head west to another stairwell. Cross the grass northwest and enter the only door.
8. This leads to the Central Tower's northeast section. Exit via the only available path.
9. In B1 Passageway B, proceed north and ascend the stairs.
10. Enter the Throne Room. Avoid floor panels and exit south.
11. From the Surroundings map, locate the Throne Room (northwest). Head east to the northeast island structure—Baramos's Den, the boss arena.
