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 challenging dungeon serves as the ultimate test before venturing into the underworld. This guide details how to locate and complete Baramos's Lair in the HD-2D Remake.

Baramos's Lair is the formidable stronghold of the Archfiend Baramos, the primary antagonist in the game's first half. Access is granted only after obtaining Ramia. Aim for a Hero level of at least 20 before attempting this encounter. The lair holds several valuable items, detailed below.

Reaching Baramos's Lair

Following the Maw of the Necrogond and acquisition of the Silver Orb, Ramia becomes available. Fly from either the Shrine of the Everbird or the Necrogond Shrine.

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

Navigating Baramos's Lair

Baramos's Lair differs from typical dungeons. Instead of linear progression, you'll traverse indoor and outdoor areas to reach Baramos.

The main outdoor area, "Baramos's Lair – Surroundings," serves as a central hub. The following outlines the path to the boss fight, with treasure locations detailed separately.

Main Path to Baramos:

1. Upon entering from the overworld, bypass the main entrance. Circumnavigate the castle eastward towards the northeastern pool.
2. Ascend the stairs near the pool, turn left, and proceed west to another staircase. Climb and locate the door on your right.
3. Enter the Eastern Tower, reach the top, and exit.
4. Traverse the castle roof southwestward, descend, continue west, and navigate the gaps in the northwestern double wall. Use the northwestern staircase.
5. The staircase leads to the Central Tower. Use Safe Passage to cross electrified floor panels and descend to B1 Passageway A.
6. In B1 Passageway A, turn east and proceed to the eastern staircase.
7. Enter the South-East Tower, head northeast to the staircase, ascend to the roof, and proceed west to another staircase. Cross the grass northwestward and enter the door.

9. Traverse B1 Passageway B northward and ascend the staircase.
10. Enter the Throne Room. Avoid floor panels and proceed south to the exit.
