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 tackle Baramos's Lair in Dragon Quest 3 Remake. This challenging dungeon serves as a crucial test before venturing into the underworld. This guide details how to locate and complete Baramos's Lair in the HD-2D Remake.

Baramos's Lair is the formidable stronghold of the Archfiend Baramos, the primary antagonist in the game's first half. Access is granted only after obtaining Ramia. Aim for a party level of at least 20 before attempting this challenge. The lair holds valuable items, detailed in the sections below.

How to Reach Baramos's Lair

Having acquired the Silver Orb from the Maw of the Necrogond and unlocked Ramia, you can fly directly to Baramos's Lair from either the Shrine of the Everbird or the Necrogond Shrine.

North of the Necrogond Shrine lies an island nestled amidst mountains—this is Baramos's Lair. Ramia will transport you to the dungeon's entrance. Proceed north and enter.

Baramos's Lair deviates from typical dungeon structures. Instead of linear progression, you'll navigate indoor and outdoor areas to reach Baramos. The main outdoor area, "Surroundings," serves as a central hub. Below is the main path to the boss, with treasure locations detailed separately.

3. Reach the top of the Eastern Tower and exit.
4. Cross the castle roof southwest, descend the stairs, and navigate west through gaps in the northwestern double wall. Use the northwestern stairs.
