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 a crucial test before venturing into the game's underworld. This guide details navigating and conquering Baramos's Lair.

Baramos's Lair houses the formidable 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 encounter. The dungeon holds valuable items, detailed below.

How to Reach Baramos's Lair

Following the Maw of the Necrogond and acquisition of the Silver Orb, Ramia becomes available. Fly from either the Shrine of the Everbird or Necrogond Shrine to a mountainous island—Baramos's Lair's location. Ramia will deposit you near the entrance.

Baramos's Lair Walkthrough

Baramos's Lair deviates from typical dungeon structures. Instead of 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 main path to Baramos:

Main Path to Baramos:

1. From the overworld entrance, bypass the main door. Instead, circumnavigate the castle's east side to the northeast pool.
2. Ascend the stairs near the pool, turn left (west), and climb another set of stairs. Enter the door on the right.
3. Navigate the Eastern Tower to its top and exit.
4. Traverse the castle roof southwest, descend, continue west, and pass through gaps in the northwest double wall. Use the northwest stairs.
5. In the Central Tower, use "Safe Passage" to cross electrified panels and descend to B1 Passageway A.
6. In B1 Passageway A, head east to the far eastern stairs.
7. Ascend the stairs in the South-East Tower, move northeast to the roof, then west to another stairwell. Cross the grass northwest and enter the door.
8. Exit the Central Tower (again) to B1 Passageway B. Proceed north and ascend the stairs.
9. In the Throne Room, avoid floor panels and exit south.
10. Return to the "Surroundings" map. Baramos's Den (the boss fight location) is the structure on the lake's northeast island.
