Dragon Quest III Remake: Triumph Over Baramos's Lair

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's Lair in Dragon Quest 3 Remake. This formidable dungeon serves as the ultimate test before venturing into the underworld. This guide details navigating and conquering Baramos's Lair in the HD-2D Remake.

Baramos's Lair is the stronghold of the Archfiend Baramos, the game's primary antagonist in the early stages. Access is granted only after obtaining Ramia. Aim for a party level of at least 20 before attempting this challenge. The dungeon holds several valuable items, detailed in the sections 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 Necrogond Shrine to a mountainous island—Baramos's Lair's location. Ramia will deposit you near the entrance.

Navigating Baramos's Lair

Baramos's Lair deviates from typical dungeon structures. Instead of linear progression, it involves traversing indoor and outdoor areas to reach Baramos. The main outdoor area, "Surroundings," serves as a central hub. Below is the optimal path to the boss fight, with treasure locations detailed separately.

Main Path to Baramos:

1. Upon entering from the overworld, bypass the main door. Circumnavigate the castle's eastern side to the northeastern pool.
2. Ascend the stairs near the pool, turn left, and proceed west to another stairwell. Enter the door on the right.
3. Traverse the Eastern Tower to its top and exit.
4. Cross the castle roof southwestward, descend, continue west, and pass through the gaps in the northwest double wall. Use the northwest stairwell.
5. In the Central Tower, navigate to the southwest stairs, utilizing "Safe Passage" to cross electrified panels. Descend to B1 Passageway A.
6. In B1 Passageway A, head east to the easternmost stairs.
7. Ascend the stairs in the South-East Tower, proceed northeast to the roof, then west and down another stairwell. Cross the grass northwest and enter the only door.
8. Exit the Central Tower (second time) onto B1 Passageway B. Proceed north and ascend the stairs.
9. In the Throne Room, navigate south to the exit, avoiding floor panels.
10. Return to the "Surroundings" map. Baramos's Den (the boss fight) is located on the island in the northeast lake.
