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 dungeon serves as a crucial test of your skills before venturing into the underworld. This guide details navigating and conquering Baramos's Lair in the 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 attempting this challenge. The dungeon holds valuable items, detailed in subsequent 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 Necrogond Shrine.

North of 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 deviates from typical dungeon structures. Instead of linear progression, you'll traverse indoor and outdoor areas to reach Baramos. The main outdoor area, "Surroundings," serves as a central hub. Below is 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. Instead, circumnavigate the castle's east side to the northeast pool.
2. Ascend the stairs near the pool, turn west, and climb another staircase. Enter the door on your right.
3. Navigate the Eastern Tower to its rooftop exit.
4. Traverse the castle roof southwest, descend, continue west, and pass through gaps in the northwest double wall. Use the northwest 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, proceed east to the far eastern staircase.
7. Enter the South-East Tower, heading northeast to the upper level. Traverse the roof west and descend to the western section. Cross the grass northwest and enter the door.
8. This leads to the northeast corner of the Central Tower. Exit to B1 Passageway B.
9. Traverse B1 Passageway B north and ascend the staircase.
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.
