Baramos's Lair Walkthrough for Dragon Quest 3 Remake

Conquer 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 formidable lair. This dungeon serves as a crucial test before venturing into the game's underworld. This guide details how to locate and navigate Baramos's Lair in Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake.

Baramos, the primary antagonist of the game's first half, resides within this challenging dungeon. Access is granted only after obtaining Ramia, who provides aerial transport to the lair's secluded valley location. Aim for a party level of at least 20 before attempting this encounter. The lair holds several valuable items, detailed in the sections below.

Reaching Baramos's Lair

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

North of the Necrogond Shrine lies a mountainous island concealing Baramos's Lair. Ramia will directly transport you to the dungeon entrance. Proceed north and enter the dungeon as you would a town.

Navigating Baramos's Lair

Baramos's Lair deviates from typical dungeon structures. Instead of linear progression, it involves traversing indoor and outdoor areas to reach Baramos. The main outdoor area, "Surroundings," serves as a central hub connecting all structures. Below is the optimal path to the final boss encounter, followed by treasure locations on each floor.

Main Path to Baramos:

1. Upon entering from the overworld, bypass the main entrance. Instead, navigate east around the castle to the northeastern pool of water.
2. Ascend the stairs leading to the pool, turn left (west), and climb another set of stairs. Enter the door on your right.
3. Traverse the Eastern Tower to its top and exit.
4. Cross the castle roof southwestward, descend the stairs, continue west, and pass through the gaps in the northwestern double wall. Use the northwestern stairwell.
5. Enter the Central Tower. Use the Safe Passage spell to navigate the electrified floor panels in the southwest corner and descend the stairs to B1 Passageway A.
6. In B1 Passageway A, proceed east to the easternmost stairs.
7. Ascend the stairs in the South-East Tower, heading northeast to the roof. Then, head west and descend to the western section. Cross the grass northwestward and enter the only available door.
8. Exit the small northeastern section of the Central Tower.
9. In B1 Passageway B, proceed north and ascend the stairs.
10. Enter the Throne Room and proceed south to the exit, avoiding floor panels.
11. From the Surroundings map, locate the Throne Room (northwest) and proceed east to the northeastern island structure – Baramos's Den, where the final battle awaits.
