Once you've gathered the Six Orbs and awakened Ramia the Everbird, you're ready to embark on your journey to Baramos's Lair in the Dragon Quest 3 Remake. This challenging dungeon serves as a culmination of your adventures so far, testing your skills before you delve into the dark world beneath the main map. In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk you through locating and conquering Baramos's Lair in Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake.

Baramos's Lair is the ominous stronghold of the Archfiend Baramos, the primary antagonist throughout the first half of Dragon Quest 3 Remake. You won't be able to access this dungeon until you've unlocked Ramia the Everbird, who will transport you to the valley surrounding the lair. Ensure your Hero is at least level 20 before tackling this challenge, as Baramos's Lair contains several crucial items that we will detail in each section.

How to Reach Baramos's Lair in Dragon Quest 3 Remake

After successfully navigating the Maw of the Necrogond and securing the Silver Orb, you'll unlock the Everbird. To reach Baramos's Lair, you have the option to fly directly from either the Shrine of the Everbird or the Necrogond Shrine.

Just north of the Necrogond Shrine, you'll spot an island encircled by mountains. This is where Baramos's Lair awaits. With Ramia, you can fly directly to the location and land just outside the dungeon entrance. Simply proceed north and enter the dungeon as if it were a town.

Baramos's Lair Walkthrough – Dragon Quest 3 Remake

Upon entering Baramos's Lair in the DQ3 Remake, you'll find it differs from typical major dungeons. Instead of moving vertically through a single structure, you'll navigate through a mix of indoor and outdoor areas, ultimately aiming to confront the Archfiend Baramos.

The initial area you'll encounter is Baramos's Lair – Surroundings, serving as the main outdoor hub. You'll return here whenever you exit any of the structures or passageways. We'll outline the main path to the boss fight chamber and then detail the treasure locations on each floor separately.

How to Reach Baramos Boss Fight – Main Path:

• Step 1: From the starting point, after entering Baramos's Lair from the overworld, bypass the main door leading to the 'Entrance' area. Instead, head around the eastern side of the castle towards the pool of water in the northeast corner of the map.
• Step 2: Upon reaching the stairs leading to the pool of water, turn left and continue west until you find another set of stairs. Ascend these stairs and look for a door on your right. Enter it.
• Step 3: You'll now be inside the Eastern Tower. Ascend to the top and exit through the door.
• Step 4: You'll find yourself on the castle's roof, visible on the Surroundings map. Head southwest across the roof, then descend the stairs to the lower level. Continue west, navigate through the gaps in the double wall on the northwest roof, and use the stairs in the northwest corner.
• Step 5: The northwest stairs lead down into the Central Tower. Head towards the stairs in the southwest corner, using the Safe Passage spell to cross the electrified floor panels. Descend to what we'll call B1 Passageway A.
• Step 6: In B1 Passageway A, you can either continue south or turn east. Turn east and proceed to the stairs on the far eastern side of the map.
• Step 7: You'll enter the South-East Tower. You'll be on the southeastern part of the South-East Tower map. Head northeast to the only available stairs and ascend to the roof. Then, head west on the roof for a short distance before descending another set of stairs. This will bring you to the western section of the South-East Tower map. Cross the grass heading northwest, then enter the only available door.
• Step 8: The door leads to a small section in the northeast corner of the Central Tower. You'll have only one exit, a short walk from your entry point.
• Step 9: After leaving the Central Tower for the second time, you'll find yourself on B1 Passageway B. This is a long, slender corridor with a single entrance and exit. Proceed all the way north and ascend the stairs.
• Step 10: You'll enter the Throne Room. Head to the exit along the southern edge of the map, avoiding the floor panels.
• Step 11: Upon exiting the Throne Room, you'll be back on the Surroundings map. The Throne Room is the large structure in the northwest corner of the map. Head east from there to the structure in the northeast corner, which sits on an island in the lake. This is Baramos's Den, where the boss fight awaits.

All Treasure in Baramos's Lair – Dragon Quest 3 Remake

All South-East Tower Treasure:

To access the three Treasure Chests in the southeastern section of the South-East Tower map, first reach the Central Tower (refer to the main path steps above if unsure). From the Central Tower, exit through the southeast door, then head east across the roof. Descend the stairs to reach the small platform containing the three chests.

All B1 Passageway Treasure:

- Treasure 1 (Buried): Mini Medal (On left side of skeleton)

To reach this area, head to the northern section of the Entrance map. You'll see a staircase leading west to a lower level and east to an upper level. Take the western set, and you'll end up on the western side of what we'll call B1 Passageway C, distinct from the two map sections along the main path.

All Throne Room Treasure:

How to Defeat Baramos – Dragon Quest 3 Remake

Your initial encounter with Baramos in the DQIII Remake will likely be the most challenging battle you've faced yet. To overcome this formidable foe, you'll need a solid strategy and to ensure your party is adequately leveled.

What is Baramos Weak to in Dragon Quest 3 Remake?

Understanding Baramos's weaknesses is crucial for devising an effective strategy. Baramos is vulnerable to the following spells:

• Crack (All ice-based spells)
• Woosh (All wind-based spells)

Notably, Baramos is not weak to Zap in any form. By this stage, you should have access to higher-level spells like Kacrack and Swoosh. Since the Hero cannot cast these spells, consider using them for healing while two spell casters focus on offense, or utilize Gust Slash.

Always maintain at least one dedicated healer. Even when properly leveled, Baramos can swiftly decimate your party. Prioritize healing every round, as there's no advantage to defeating Baramos quickly. Focus on survival over speed.
