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 confront Baramos in his lair. This challenging dungeon serves as a significant test before venturing into the underworld. This guide details navigating and completing Baramos's Lair in Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake.

Baramos, the primary antagonist in the game's first half, resides within this dungeon. 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.

Reaching Baramos's Lair

Having completed the Maw of the Necrogond and secured the Silver Orb, you'll unlock Ramia. Fly from either the Shrine of the Everbird or the Necrogond Shrine to the island north of the Necrogond Shrine, nestled amidst mountains. This is Baramos's Lair. Ramia will deposit you near the entrance.

Navigating Baramos's Lair

Unlike typical dungeons, Baramos's Lair involves traversing both indoor and outdoor areas. The objective is to reach Baramos. The main outdoor area, "Surroundings," serves as a central hub. The following outlines the optimal path to the boss fight:
