Reaching Zoma's Citadel

Zoma's Citadel Walkthrough

1F:

Navigate the first floor to the throne in the north. The throne moves, revealing a hidden passage. Explore side chambers for treasure:

• Treasure 1 (Buried): Mini Medal (behind throne).
• Treasure 2 (Buried): Seed of Magic (electrified panel).

Prepare for numerous Living Statues in the central chamber.

B1:

B1 is accessible via stairs from 1F. The only treasure chest contains:

• Treasure 1 (Chest): Hapless Helm

B2:

Navigate directional tiles to reach the stairs to B3. Practice on similar tiles in the Tower of Rubiss if needed. The tiles use a color-coded system for North/South and East/West movement. Treasure includes:

• Treasure 1 (Chest): Scourge Whip
• Treasure 2 (Chest): 4,989 Gold Coins

B3:

Follow the outer edge of the chamber. A detour to the southwest reveals Sky, a friendly Soaring Scourger. An isolated chamber (accessible via B2's holes) contains another friendly monster, a Liquid Metal Slime, and a chest:

• Treasure 1 (Chest): Dragon Dojo Duds
• Treasure 2 (Chest): Double-Edged Sword
• Isolated Chamber Treasure: Bastard Sword

B4:

Navigate to the southeast corner to reach Zoma. Watch the cutscene upon entering. Six chests await:

• Treasure 1 (Chest): Shimmering Dress
• Treasure 2 (Chest): Prayer Ring
• Treasure 3 (Chest): Sage's Stone
• Treasure 4 (Chest): Yggdrasil Leaf
• Treasure 5 (Chest): Dieamend
• Treasure 6 (Chest): Mini Medal

Defeating Zoma and His Minions

Before facing Zoma, defeat:

• King Hydra: Vulnerable to Kazap. Aggressive tactics are recommended.
• Soul of Baramos: Weak to Zap.
• Bones of Baramos: Similar weaknesses to the Soul of Baramos.

Zoma: Conserve MP initially. Wait for the Sphere of Light prompt to remove Zoma's magic barrier, then exploit their Zap weakness with Kazap. Prioritize HP and utilize revives as needed. Strategic play, not aggression, is key.
