Dragon Quest 3 Remake: Conquering Baramos's Lair – A Complete Guide

After securing the Six Orbs and hatching Ramia the Everbird, your journey culminates in Baramos's Lair. 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, the primary antagonist of the game's first half, resides within this formidable dungeon. Access is granted only after obtaining Ramia, who transports you to the lair's valley. Aim for a party level of at least 20 before attempting this encounter. Valuable items await within.

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 to the island north of the Necrogond Shrine, nestled amidst mountains. This island houses Baramos's Lair. Ramia will deposit you near the entrance.

Navigating Baramos's Lair

Baramos's Lair deviates from typical dungeon structures. Instead of a linear progression, you'll traverse indoor and outdoor areas to reach Baramos. The main outdoor area, "Surroundings," serves as a central hub. We'll outline the optimal path to the boss, followed by treasure locations.

Reaching Baramos – Main Path:

1. Upon entering from the overworld, bypass the main entrance. Circumnavigate the castle eastward towards the northeastern pool.
2. At the stairs leading to the pool, turn left and proceed west to another stairwell. Ascend and locate a door on the right.
3. Inside the Eastern Tower, reach the top and exit.
4. On the castle roof, traverse southwest, descend, and navigate the gaps in the northwestern double wall. Use the northwestern stairwell.
5. In the Central Tower, proceed to the southwest stairs, utilizing Safe Passage across electrified panels. Descend to B1 Passageway A.
6. In B1 Passageway A, turn east and proceed to the easternmost stairs.
7. In the South-East Tower, head northeast to the stairs, ascend to the roof, and then head west to another stairwell. Cross the grass northwest and enter the only door.
8. This leads to the northeast corner of the Central Tower. Exit to B1 Passageway B.
9. Traverse B1 Passageway B northward and ascend the stairs.
10. In the Throne Room, reach the southern exit, avoiding floor panels.
11. Back in the "Surroundings" area, locate Baramos's Den (northeastern island structure) for the boss fight.
