Dragon Quest 3 Remake: Baramos\'s Lair Walkthrough

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

After securing the Six Orbs and hatching Ramia the Everbird, your journey culminates in Baramos's Lair. This challenging dungeon serves as a crucial test before venturing into the 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 formidable dungeon. Access is granted only after obtaining Ramia, who transports you to the lair's valley. Aim for a party level of at least 20 before attempting this challenge. The lair holds valuable items, detailed in the sections below.

How to Reach Baramos's Lair

Following the Maw of the Necrogond and acquisition of the Silver Orb, Ramia becomes available. Access Baramos's Lair by flying from either the Shrine of the Everbird or the Necrogond Shrine.

North of the Necrogond Shrine lies a mountainous island—Baramos's Lair. Ramia will directly transport you near the entrance. Proceed north to enter.

Baramos's Lair Walkthrough

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 final encounter, with treasure locations detailed separately.

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 near the pool, turn left (west), and climb another set of stairs. Enter the door on the right.
3. Navigate the Eastern Tower to its top and exit.
4. Traverse the castle roof southwest, descend, continue west, and pass through gaps in the northwestern double wall. Use the northwestern stairs.
5. Descend into the Central Tower. Use "Safe Passage" to cross electrified floor panels and take the southwestern stairs to B1 Passageway A.
6. In B1 Passageway A, proceed east to the easternmost stairs.
7. Enter the South-East Tower, heading northeast to the stairs leading to the roof. Traverse the roof west and descend to the western section. Cross the grass northwest and enter the available door.
8. Exit the small northeastern section of the Central Tower.
9. Proceed through B1 Passageway B north to the stairs.
10. Enter the Throne Room, avoiding floor panels, and exit south.
11. From the "Surroundings" map, locate the northeastern structure (on an island) – Baramos's Den—for the final battle.
