Baramos's Lair Walkthrough – Dragon Quest 3 Remake

Upon entering Baramos's Lair in DQ3 Remake, you'll find it distinct from typical dungeons. Instead of a straightforward vertical progression, you'll navigate through a mix of indoor and outdoor areas, aiming to confront the Archfiend Baramos.

The initial area you'll encounter is Baramos's Lair – Surroundings, serving as the primary outdoor hub. You'll return here after exiting any structure or passageway. We'll outline the main path to the boss fight chamber, followed by a detailed guide to treasures on each floor.

How to Reach Baramos Boss Fight – Main Path:

• Step 1: From the starting point, bypass the main door leading to the 'Entrance' area. Instead, navigate 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, turn left and head west to another set of stairs. Ascend these stairs and enter the door on your right.
• Step 3: You'll find yourself in the Eastern Tower. Ascend to the top and exit.
• Step 4: Now 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: Descend into the Central Tower. Head to the southwest corner, using the Safe Passage spell to cross the electrified floor panels, and take the stairs down to B1 Passageway A.
• Step 6: In B1 Passageway A, you can go south or turn east. Choose east and proceed to the stairs on the far eastern side.
• Step 7: Enter the South-East Tower. From the southeastern part of the map, head northeast to the stairs and ascend to the roof. Walk west briefly before descending another set of stairs to the western section of the map. Cross the grass northwest and enter the only available door.
• Step 8: This door leads to the northeast corner of the Central Tower. Exit through the only available door.
• Step 9: You'll now be in B1 Passageway B, a long corridor with a single entrance and exit. Proceed north and ascend the stairs.
• Step 10: Enter the Throne Room and exit via the southern edge, avoiding the floor panels.
• Step 11: Back on the Surroundings map, locate the Throne Room in the northwest corner. Head east to the structure on an island in the lake, which is Baramos's Den, the site of the boss fight.

How to Defeat Baramos – Dragon Quest 3 Remake

Your first encounter with Baramos in DQIII Remake will likely be the most challenging battle you've faced. To emerge victorious, you'll need a solid strategy and adequate leveling.

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:

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

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

Maintain at least one dedicated healer throughout the battle. Even when well-leveled, Baramos can swiftly decimate your party. Prioritize healing each round, as there's no advantage to defeating Baramos quickly. Focus on survival over speed.
