Dragon Quest 3 Remake: Baramos\'s Lair Walkthrough

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 challenge Baramos's Lair in Dragon Quest 3 Remake. This challenging dungeon serves as the ultimate 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's Lair is the formidable stronghold of the Archfiend Baramos, the primary antagonist in the game's first half. Access to this dungeon is granted only after obtaining Ramia, the Everbird, who transports you to the lair's valley. Aim for a Hero level of at least 20 before attempting this challenging encounter. The lair holds several valuable items, detailed in the sections below.

Reaching Baramos's Lair

Following the completion of the Maw of the Necrogond and acquisition of the Silver Orb, you unlock the Everbird. To reach Baramos's Lair, fly from either the Shrine of the Everbird or the Necrogond Shrine.

North of the Necrogond Shrine lies an island nestled amidst mountains – this is Baramos's Lair. Ramia can fly you directly to the area, depositing you near the dungeon entrance. Proceed north and enter the dungeon.

Navigating Baramos's Lair

Baramos's Lair in DQ3 Remake differs from typical dungeons. Instead of a linear vertical progression, you'll traverse indoor and outdoor areas to reach Baramos.

The main outdoor area, Baramos's Lair – Surroundings, serves as a central hub, connecting all structures and passageways. The following outlines the main path to the boss fight, with treasure locations detailed separately for each area.

Main Path to Baramos:

1. Upon entering from the overworld, bypass the main entrance. Instead, proceed east, towards the northeastern pool.
2. At the stairs leading to the pool, turn left and continue west to another stairwell. Ascend and locate the door on your right. Enter.
3. You're now in the Eastern Tower. Reach the top and exit.
4. On the castle roof, move southwest, descend the stairs, continue west, and navigate the gaps in the northwestern double wall. Use the northwestern stairwell.
5. This leads to the Central Tower. Proceed southwest, using Safe Passage across electrified panels, then descend the stairs to B1 Passageway A.
6. In B1 Passageway A, turn east and proceed to the easternmost stairs.
7. Enter the South-East Tower, heading northeast to the stairs and ascending to the roof. Move west, descend the stairs, cross the grass northwest, and enter the door.
8. This leads to a small area in the northeastern Central Tower. Exit.
9. You're now in B1 Passageway B. Proceed north and ascend the stairs.
10. Enter the Throne Room. Exit south, avoiding floor panels.
