Dragon Quest 3 Remake: Baramos\'s Lair Walkthrough

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 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, who transports you to the lair's valley. Aim for a party level of at least 20 before tackling this challenge. The lair holds several valuable items, detailed below.

Reaching Baramos's Lair

Following the Maw of the Necrogond and acquiring the Silver Orb unlocks Ramia. Fly from either the Shrine of the Everbird or the Necrogond Shrine to the island north of Necrogond, nestled amidst mountains. This island houses Baramos's Lair. Ramia will deposit you near the entrance; simply proceed north to enter.

Navigating Baramos's Lair

Baramos's Lair deviates from typical dungeon structures. 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. Below is the optimal path to the boss fight, followed by individual treasure locations.

Reaching Baramos – Main Path:

1. Upon entering the lair, bypass the main entrance. Instead, circumnavigate the eastern side of the castle towards the northeast pool.
2. Ascend the stairs to the pool, turn left (west), and climb another stair set. Enter the door on the right.
3. Navigate the Eastern Tower to its rooftop exit.
4. Cross the castle roof southwestward, descend, continue west, and traverse the gaps in the northwest double wall. Use the northwest stairs.
5. The stairs lead to the Central Tower. Use Safe Passage to cross electrified floor panels and descend to B1 Passageway A.
6. In B1 Passageway A, proceed east to the far eastern stairs.
7. Ascend the stairs in the South-East Tower (southeast section), proceed northeast to the upper roof, then west to another stair set, leading to the tower's western section. Cross the grass northwest and enter the only door.
8. This leads to a small section in the Central Tower's northeast corner; exit immediately.
9. You'll be in B1 Passageway B. Proceed north and ascend the stairs.
10. Enter the Throne Room, carefully avoiding floor panels, and exit south.
11. You'll return to the Surroundings. The Throne Room is northwest; proceed east to the northeast island structure – Baramos's Den, where the boss awaits.
