Dragon Quest 3 Remake: Baramos\'s Lair Walkthrough

Conquer 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 challenge Baramos's Lair in Dragon Quest 3 Remake. This formidable dungeon serves as the ultimate test before venturing into the game's underworld. This guide navigates you through locating, exploring, and conquering Baramos's Lair.

Baramos's Lair houses the Archfiend Baramos, the primary antagonist of the game's first half. Access is granted only after obtaining Ramia. Aim for a party level of at least 20 before attempting this challenge. The dungeon holds valuable items, detailed in the sections below.

Reaching Baramos's Lair

Following the Maw of the Necrogond and acquisition of the Silver Orb, unlock the Everbird. Fly from either the Shrine of the Everbird or Necrogond Shrine to an island nestled amidst mountains. This island marks Baramos's Lair's location. Ramia will transport you near the dungeon entrance. Proceed north to enter.

Navigating Baramos's Lair

Baramos's Lair deviates from typical dungeon structures. Instead of linear progression, it involves traversing indoor and outdoor areas to reach Baramos. The main outdoor area, "Surroundings," serves as a central hub. The following outlines the path to the final boss encounter, with treasure locations detailed separately.

Main Path to Baramos:

1. Upon entering from the overworld, bypass the main entrance. Instead, circumnavigate the castle's eastern side toward the northeastern pool.
2. Ascend the stairs to the pool, then turn left (west) to another stair set. Proceed upward and locate a door to the right. Enter.
3. You're now in the Eastern Tower. Ascend to the top and exit.
4. Traverse the castle roof (visible on the Surroundings map) southwestward, then descend to the lower level. Continue west, passing through gaps in the northwestern double wall. Use the northwestern stair set.
5. The stairs lead to the Central Tower. Proceed southwest, utilizing "Safe Passage" to cross electrified floor panels. Descend the stairs to B1 Passageway A.
6. In B1 Passageway A, turn east and proceed to the easternmost stairs.
7. Enter the South-East Tower. Head northeast to the stairs, ascend to the roof, then head west and descend again. Cross the grass northwest and enter the only available door.
8. This door leads to the Central Tower's northeast corner. Exit via the single available path.
9. You'll be in B1 Passageway B. Proceed north and ascend the stairs.
10. You are in the Throne Room. Proceed south to the exit, avoiding floor panels.
11. Back in the Surroundings area, locate the northeastern structure (on an island). This is Baramos's Den, where the boss awaits.
