Dragon Quest 3 Remake: Conquer Baramos's Fortress

Conquering 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 confront Baramos. 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'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 tackling this challenge. The lair contains valuable items, detailed in the sections 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 an island north of the Necrogond Shrine, nestled amidst mountains. This island is Baramos's Lair. Ramia will deposit you near the entrance; simply proceed north to enter.

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, "Surroundings," serves as a central hub. The following outlines the main path to the boss fight, with treasure locations detailed separately.

Main Path to Baramos:

1. Upon entering from the overworld, bypass the main entrance. Circle east towards the northeast pool.
2. Turn left at the stairs leading to the pool, heading west to another stairwell. Ascend and enter the door on the right (Eastern Tower).
3. Reach the Eastern Tower's summit and exit.
4. Traverse the castle roof southwest, descend, continue west, and pass through the gaps in the northwest double wall. Use the northwest stairwell.
5. This leads to the Central Tower. Use "Safe Passage" to cross electrified floor panels and descend to B1 Passageway A.
6. In B1 Passageway A, head east to the far eastern stairs.
7. Enter the South-East Tower, proceed northeast to the stairs, ascend to the roof, and head west to another stairwell. Cross the grass northwest and enter the door.
8. This leads to a small section in the northeast Central Tower. Exit.
9. You're now in B1 Passageway B. Proceed north and ascend the stairs.
10. Enter the Throne Room. Avoid floor panels and exit south.
11. Head east from the Throne Room (northwest corner of the Surroundings map) to the northeast structure on the lake island. This is Baramos's Den.
