After a long journey through Dragon Quest 3 Remake's quests and dungeons, the final challenge awaits: Zoma's Citadel. This formidable dungeon tests everything you've learned, presenting the toughest battle in the game's main story. This guide provides a complete walkthrough, including treasure locations.

How to Reach Zoma's Citadel in Dragon Quest 3 Remake

Defeating Archfiend Baramos plunges you into Alefgard's perpetual darkness. Zoma's Citadel, your ultimate destination, requires completing the Rainbow Drop quest.

The Rainbow Drop requires:

• Sunstone – Found in Tantegel Castle
• Staff of Rain – Found in the Shrine of the Spirit
• Sacred Amulet – Received from Rubiss after rescuing her atop the Tower of Rubiss (requires the Faerie Flute)

Combine these items to create the Rainbow Drop, forming the bridge to Zoma's Citadel.

### 1F Main Path:

Reach the throne in the northern wall; it will move, revealing a passage. Traverse the east or west side of the chamber, then return to the central chamber's door (see map). Side chambers contain treasure. Prepare for a Living Statue encounter in the central chamber—treat them as a boss fight.

All Treasure on Zoma's Citadel 1F:

• Treasure 1 (Buried): Mini Medal – behind the throne.
• Treasure 2 (Buried): Seed of Magic – near the electrified panel.

### B2 Main Path:

Navigate the directional tiles to reach the stairs to B3. A separate section details tile navigation.

How to Use the Directional Tiles in Dragon Quest 3 Remake:

The directional tiles are challenging. The Tower of Rubiss (third floor, northwest corner) offers practice tiles. The tiles form a diamond; blue and orange halves indicate direction.

North/South: Blue on left = press left; Blue on right = press right. Orange follows the same logic.

East/West: Observe the orange arrow. Arrow points in desired direction = press UP; Arrow points away = press DOWN.

All Treasure on Zoma's Citadel B2:

• Treasure 1 (Chest): Scourge Whip
• Treasure 2 (Chest): 4,989 Gold Coins

All Treasure on Zoma's Citadel B3:

Main Chamber:

• Treasure 1 (Chest): Dragon Dojo Duds
• Treasure 2 (Chest): Double-Edged Sword

How to Defeat Zoma in Dragon Quest 3 Remake

The final section is a boss gauntlet: King Hydra, Soul of Baramos, Bones of Baramos, then Zoma. Use items between fights.

How to Defeat the King Hydra:

The King Hydra is challenging but manageable. Kazap spells are highly effective. Aggressive tactics are recommended due to its healing ability.

How to Defeat the Soul of Baramos:

Exploit its weakness to Zap attacks (Kazap).

How to Defeat the Bones of Baramos:

Similar weaknesses to the Soul of Baramos. Kazap and Monster Wrangler combos are effective.

How to Defeat Zoma in Dragon Quest 3 Remake:

Zoma is a strategic fight. Conserve MP initially; a prompt will appear to use the Sphere of Light, removing his magic barrier.

With the barrier down, exploit his weakness to Zap attacks (Kazap). Prioritize HP and avoid over-aggression.
