This guide provides a complete walkthrough of Zoma's Citadel in Dragon Quest 3 Remake, the game's climactic dungeon, detailing treasure locations and boss strategies. Prepare for the ultimate test of your party's skills!

Reaching Zoma's Citadel

After defeating Baramos, you'll enter Alefgard's perpetually dark world. To reach Zoma's Citadel, you must obtain the Rainbow Drop:

• Sunstone: Found in Tantegel Castle.
• Staff of Rain: Located in the Shrine of the Spirit.
• Sacred Amulet: Received from Rubiss after rescuing her in the Tower of Rubiss (requires the Faerie Flute).

Combine these items to create the Rainbow Drop and build the Rainbow Bridge, leading you to the Citadel.

Zoma's Citadel 1F Walkthrough

Navigate the first floor to reach the throne in the northern wall. This throne moves to reveal a hidden passage. Explore both east and west sides for treasure. Expect a challenging encounter with Living Statues in the central chamber.

1F Treasure:

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

Zoma's Citadel B1 Walkthrough

The main path leads directly to B2. However, taking the stairs in the 1F chambers leads to an isolated B1 area containing a single chest.

B1 Treasure:

• Treasure 1 (Chest): Hapless Helm

Zoma's Citadel B2 Walkthrough

B2 features directional tiles. The goal is to reach the opposite side and descend the stairs. Practice using the similar tiles in the Tower of Rubiss (3rd floor, northwest corner) if needed. The tiles use a diamond pattern: blue for North/South, orange for East/West. Use the D-pad accordingly.

B2 Treasure:

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

Zoma's Citadel B3 Walkthrough

Follow the outer edge of the chamber on B3. A detour to the southwest reveals Sky, a friendly Soaring Scourger. Falling through holes on B2 leads to an isolated chamber with another friendly monster, a Liquid Metal Slime, and a chest.

B3 Treasure:

Main Chamber:

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

Isolated Chamber:

• Treasure 1 (Chest): Bastard Sword

Zoma's Citadel B4 Walkthrough

B4 is the final floor before Zoma. Navigate from the center-south, upwards, then to the southeast corner. A unique cutscene awaits upon entry.

B4 Treasure: (Six chests in one chamber, right to left)

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

Defeating Zoma

The final challenge involves a boss gauntlet: King Hydra, Soul of Baramos, and Bones of Baramos, before facing Zoma. Use items between fights.

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

Zoma's fight requires strategy. Initially, he has a magic barrier. Wait for the prompt to use the Sphere of Light, removing the barrier and making him vulnerable to Zap attacks (Kazap is highly effective). Prioritize HP and avoid over-aggression.
