Conquer Zoma's Citadel in Dragon Quest 3 Remake: A Comprehensive Guide

This guide provides a complete walkthrough of Zoma's Citadel in Dragon Quest 3 Remake, the game's final and most challenging dungeon. We'll cover reaching the citadel, navigating each floor, defeating the bosses, and identifying all treasure locations.

Reaching Zoma's Citadel

After defeating Baramos, you'll enter the darkened world of Alefgard. To reach Zoma's Citadel, you must obtain the Rainbow Drop by collecting:

• Sunstone: Found in Tantegel Castle.
• Staff of Rain: Located in the Shrine of the Spirit.
• Sacred Amulet: Received from Rubiss after rescuing her in the Tower of Rubiss (requires the Faerie Flute).

Combine these items to create the Rainbow Drop and build the Rainbow Bridge leading to the citadel.

Zoma's Citadel Floor Walkthroughs

1F:

Navigate the chamber, avoiding Living Statues, to reach the throne. The throne moves to reveal a hidden passage.

• Treasure 1 (Buried): Mini Medal (behind throne).
• Treasure 2 (Buried): Seed of Magic (electrified panel).

B1:

This floor is primarily a passage to B2, unless you take the side stairs from 1F, leading to an isolated chamber.

• Treasure 1 (Chest): Hapless Helm

B2:

Navigate the directional tiles (practice in the Tower of Rubiss if needed). The key is understanding the color-coded directional inputs.

• Treasure 1 (Chest): Scourge Whip
• Treasure 2 (Chest): 4,989 Gold Coins

Follow the outer edge of the chamber. A detour leads to Sky, a friendly monster. Falling through holes on B2 leads to an isolated chamber with another friendly monster.

• Treasure 2 (Chest): Double-Edged Sword (Main Chamber)
• Treasure 1 (Chest): Bastard Sword (Isolated Chamber)

Boss Battles

You'll face the King Hydra, Soul of Baramos, and Bones of Baramos before confronting Zoma. Utilize items between battles.

• King Hydra: Vulnerable to Kazap. Aggressive strategy recommended.
• Soul of Baramos: Weak to Zap attacks.
• Bones of Baramos: Similar weaknesses to Soul of Baramos. Higher damage output requires careful health management.
• Zoma: Initially protected by a magic barrier. Use the Sphere of Light to remove the barrier, then exploit its weakness to Zap attacks. Prioritize strategic play over aggressive attacks to ensure party survival.
