After securing the Six Orbs and hatching Ramia the Everbird, you're ready to challenge Baramos's Lair in Dragon Quest 3 Remake. This formidable dungeon serves as the ultimate test before venturing into the underworld. This guide details navigating and conquering Baramos's Lair.
Baramos's Lair houses the Archfiend Baramos, the primary antagonist of the game's first half. Access is granted only after obtaining Ramia. Aim for a party level of at least 20 before attempting this challenge. The dungeon holds valuable items, detailed below.
Reaching Baramos's Lair
Following the Maw of the Necrogond and acquiring the Silver Orb unlocks Ramia. Fly from either the Shrine of the Everbird or Necrogond Shrine to the island north of Necrogond, encircled by mountains. This is Baramos's Lair. Ramia will deposit you near the entrance; proceed north to enter.
Baramos's Lair Walkthrough
Baramos's Lair differs from typical dungeons. Instead of a linear progression, it involves navigating indoor and outdoor areas to reach Baramos. The main outdoor area, "Surroundings," serves as a central hub. The following outlines the optimal path to the boss:
Main Path to Baramos:
- Upon entering from the overworld, bypass the main entrance. Instead, circumnavigate the castle's east side towards the northeast pool.
- Ascend the stairs leading to the pool, then turn left (west) to another stairwell. Ascend and locate a door to your right; enter.
- You're now in the Eastern Tower. Proceed to the top and exit.
- Traverse the castle roof (visible on the Surroundings map) southwestward. Descend the stairs to the lower level, continue west, and pass through the gaps in the northwest double wall. Use the northwest stairwell.
- The stairs lead to the Central Tower. Navigate to the southwest stairs, utilizing "Safe Passage" to cross electrified floor panels. Descend to B1 Passageway A.
- In B1 Passageway A, turn east and proceed to the easternmost stairs.
- Enter the South-East Tower. Head northeast to the stairs, ascend to the roof, then head west a short distance before descending again. Cross the grass northwest and enter the only available door.
- This leads to a small section in the northeast corner of the Central Tower. Exit via the sole available path.
- You're now in B1 Passageway B. Proceed north and ascend the stairs.
- Enter the Throne Room. Exit along the southern edge, avoiding floor panels.
- Back in the Surroundings area, locate the northeast structure on the lake island. This is Baramos's Den, where the boss awaits.
