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

After securing the Six Orbs and hatching Ramia, the Everbird, you're ready to confront Baramos in his lair. This challenging dungeon serves as a crucial test before venturing into the underworld. This guide details navigating and completing Baramos's Lair in Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake.

Baramos, the primary antagonist in the game's first half, resides within this dungeon, inaccessible until Ramia is unlocked. Aim for a party level of at least 20 before attempting this challenge. The lair holds several valuable items, detailed in the sections below.

Reaching Baramos's Lair

Following the Maw of the Necrogond and acquiring 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 an island amidst mountains – Baramos's Lair. Ramia will transport you to the dungeon entrance. Proceed north and enter.

Navigating Baramos's Lair

Baramos's Lair differs from typical dungeons. 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.

Reaching Baramos: The Main Path

1. Upon entering from the overworld, bypass the main entrance. Instead, circle the castle eastward towards the northeastern pool.
2. At the stairs leading to the pool, turn left (west) to another stair set. Ascend and locate a door to your right. Enter.
3. You're now in the Eastern Tower. Ascend to the top and exit.
4. On the castle roof, traverse southwest, descend the stairs, and continue west. Pass through the gaps in the northwestern double wall, using the northwestern stairs.
5. The stairs lead to the Central Tower. Use "Safe Passage" to cross electrified floor panels and descend to B1 Passageway A (southwest stairs).
6. In B1 Passageway A, turn east and proceed to the eastern stairs.
7. Enter the South-East Tower. Head northeast, ascend the stairs to the roof, then head west and descend again. Cross the grass northwest and enter the only door.
8. This leads to a small section in the Central Tower's northeast corner. Exit.
9. You're now in B1 Passageway B. Proceed north and ascend the stairs.
10. Enter the Throne Room. Avoid floor panels and exit south.
11. Back in the "Surroundings," locate the northeast structure on the lake island – Baramos's Den, where the boss awaits.
