Dragon Quest III: Witness Baramos's Lair Unveiled!

Conquer Baramos's Lair in Dragon Quest 3 Remake: A Comprehensive Guide

After securing the Six Orbs and hatching Ramia, the Everbird, you're poised to challenge Baramos in his formidable lair. This dungeon serves as a crucial test before venturing into the game's 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 dungeon. Access is granted only after obtaining Ramia. Aim for a party level of at least 20 before attempting this challenging encounter. The lair holds valuable items, detailed in the following sections.

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 Baramos's Lair.

North of the Necrogond Shrine lies an island nestled amongst mountains – Baramos's Lair. Ramia can transport you directly to the dungeon entrance. Proceed north and enter.

Navigating Baramos's Lair

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

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

Main Path to Baramos:

1. Upon entering from the overworld, bypass the main entrance. Instead, circumnavigate the castle's eastern side towards the northeastern pool.
2. Ascend the stairs to the pool, turn left (west), and continue to another stairwell. Ascend and locate a door to your right. Enter.
3. You're now in the Eastern Tower. Ascend to the top and exit.
4. On the castle roof, traverse southwest, descend the stairs, continue west, and pass through gaps in the northwestern double wall. Use the northwestern stairwell.
5. The stairwell leads to the Central Tower. Navigate to the southwestern stairs, utilizing "Safe Passage" to cross electrified panels. Descend to "B1 Passageway A."
6. In "B1 Passageway A," proceed east to the far eastern 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 leads to a small section in the Central Tower's northeast corner. Exit.
9. You'll be in "B1 Passageway B." Proceed north and ascend the stairs.
10. Enter the Throne Room. Exit south, avoiding floor panels.
11. Back in the Surroundings area, locate the northeastern structure (on an island). This is Baramos's Den, where the boss fight awaits.
