Legendary Lair Unveiled: Conquer Baramos's Fortress in Dragon Quest 3

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

After securing the Six Orbs and hatching Ramia, the Everbird, you're ready to confront Baramos in his formidable lair. This dungeon serves as the ultimate test before venturing into the perilous underworld. This guide will navigate you through Baramos's Lair in Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake.

Baramos, the archfiend, casts a long shadow over the game's first half. Access to his lair is granted only after acquiring Ramia. Aim for a party level of at least 20 before tackling this challenge. The dungeon holds several valuable items, detailed below.

Reaching Baramos's Lair

Following your triumph over the Maw of the Necrogond and the acquisition of the Silver Orb, Ramia becomes available. Fly from either the Shrine of the Everbird or the Necrogond Shrine to Baramos's Lair.

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

Navigating Baramos's Lair

Unlike typical dungeons, Baramos's Lair is a sprawling complex of indoor and outdoor areas. The goal: reach Baramos.

The initial area, "Baramos's Lair – Surroundings," acts as the central outdoor hub. We'll outline the main path to the boss, then detail treasure locations.

Reaching Baramos: The Main Path

1. Upon entering from the overworld, bypass the main entrance. Instead, circumnavigate the castle eastward towards the northeastern pool.
2. At the stairs leading to the pool, turn left and continue west to another stairwell. Ascend and locate a door to your right. Enter.
3. You're now in the Eastern Tower. Ascend to the roof exit.
4. Traverse the castle roof southwestward, then descend to the lower level. Continue west, passing through gaps in the northwestern double wall. Use the northwestern stairwell.
5. The stairs lead to the Central Tower. Navigate southwest towards the stairs, utilizing Safe Passage to cross electrified panels. Descend to "B1 Passageway A."
6. In B1 Passageway A, head east to the far eastern stairs.
7. You're in the South-East Tower. Proceed northeast to the stairs, ascend to the roof, then head west a short distance before descending again. Cross the grass northwest and enter the only available door.
8. This leads to a small section in the Central Tower's northeast corner. Exit.
9. You're now in B1 Passageway B. Proceed north to the stairs.
10. You've reached the Throne Room. Exit southward, avoiding floor panels.
11. Back in the Surroundings area, locate the northeastern structure on the lake island—Baramos's Den, where the final battle awaits.
