Conquering Baramos's Lair in Dragon Quest 3 Remake: A Comprehensive Guide
After acquiring the six orbs and hatching Ramia, the Everbird, you're ready to tackle Baramos's Lair, the climactic dungeon before venturing into the underworld. This guide details navigating and conquering this challenging location. Aim for a party level of at least 20 before embarking on this quest.
Reaching Baramos's Lair:
Following the Necrogond Maw completion and securing the Silver Orb, Ramia becomes available. Fly from either the Shrine of the Everbird or Necrogond Shrine to the island north of the Necrogond Shrine, nestled amongst mountains. This island houses Baramos's Lair. Ramia will deposit you near the entrance.
Navigating Baramos's Lair:
Unlike typical dungeons, Baramos's Lair involves traversing indoor and outdoor areas. The following outlines the main path to Baramos:
- Initial Approach: Bypass the main entrance. Instead, circumnavigate the castle's eastern side towards the northeast water pool.
- Eastern Tower Ascent: Ascend the stairs near the pool, turn left, and proceed west to another staircase. Climb and enter the door on your right (Eastern Tower).
- Eastern Tower Roof: Reach the top and exit onto the castle roof. Traverse southwest, descend, continue west, and navigate the gaps in the northwest double wall. Use the northwest staircase.
- Central Tower: This leads to the Central Tower. Use Safe Passage to cross electrified floor panels and descend to B1 Passageway A (southwest stairs).
- B1 Passageway A and South-East Tower: Proceed east in B1 Passageway A to the eastern stairs, entering the South-East Tower. Ascend to the roof, head west, descend, cross the grass northwest, and enter the available door.
- Central Tower (Again): This leads to a small area in the northeast corner of the Central Tower. Exit.
- B1 Passageway B and Throne Room: This places you in B1 Passageway B. Head north, ascend stairs, and enter the Throne Room. Exit south, avoiding floor panels.
- Baramos's Den: This returns you to the Surroundings map. Baramos's Den, the boss fight location, is the structure on the island in the northeast lake.
