Conquering Baramos's Lair in Dragon Quest 3 Remake: A Comprehensive Guide
After securing the Six Orbs and hatching Ramia the Everbird, your journey culminates in Baramos's Lair. This challenging dungeon serves as a crucial test before venturing into the underworld. This guide details navigating and conquering Baramos's Lair in Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake.
Baramos, the primary antagonist of the game's first half, resides within this formidable dungeon. Access is granted only after acquiring Ramia, who transports you to the lair's valley. Aim for a party level of at least 20 before tackling this challenge. The lair holds several valuable items, detailed below.
Reaching Baramos's Lair
Following the Maw of the Necrogond and obtaining the Silver Orb, Ramia becomes available. Fly from either the Shrine of the Everbird or the Necrogond Shrine to an island north of the Necrogond Shrine, nestled amidst mountains. This island houses Baramos's Lair. Ramia will deposit you near the entrance; simply proceed north to enter.
Navigating Baramos's Lair
Baramos's Lair deviates from typical dungeon structures. Instead of linear progression, you'll traverse indoor and outdoor areas to reach Baramos. The main outdoor hub, "Baramos's Lair – Surroundings," serves as a central point between structures. Below is the optimal path to the boss fight, with treasure locations detailed separately.
Reaching Baramos: The Main Path

- Navigate the Eastern Tower to its top and exit.
- Cross the castle roof southwestward, descend, proceed west, and pass through the gaps in the northwestern double wall. Use the northwestern stairs.
- In the Central Tower, utilize "Safe Passage" to traverse electrified floor panels and descend to B1 Passageway A.
