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.

### 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

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.
