After collecting the Six Orbs and hatching Ramia the Everbird, you will be ready to head to Baramos's Lair in Dragon Quest 3 Remake. This dungeon will be the culmination of everything you've completed up to this point, and acts as a formidable skill check before heading into the dark world below the main map. In this guide, we'll show you how to find and complete Baramos's Lair in Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake.

Baramos's Lair is the home of the Archfiend Baramos, who looms over the first half of Dragon Quest 3 Remake as the main villain. You cannot reach this dungeon until you unlock Ramia the Everbird, who will fly you into the surrounding valley. You'll want your Hero to be at least level 20 before taking on this challenge. Baramos's Lair features several important items, which we will list in each section.

How to Reach Baramos's Lair in Dragon Quest 3 Remake

After completing the Maw of the Necrogond and collecting the Silver Orb, you'll be able to unlock the Everbird. To reach Baramos's Lair, you can either fly directly from the Shrine of the Everbird, or from Necrogond Shrine.

Just north of the Necrogond Shrine, you'll see an island surrounded by mountains. This is where Baramos's Lair is located. You can fly Ramia directly up to the location and drop you off outside near the dungeon entrance. Simply head north and enter the dungeon area as if it were a town.

Baramos's Lair Walkthrough – Dragon Quest 3 Remake

When you first enter Baramos's Lair in DQ3 Remake, you'll quickly discover that it is unlike most major dungeons in the game. Instead of progressing up or down in a single structure, you'll be weaving through indoor and outdoor areas, with the ultimate goal of reaching the Archfiend Baramos.

The first section you'll encounter upon entering the main grounds is Baramos's Lair – Surroundings. This area is the main outdoor hub, which you'll always end up at when you exit any of the structures or passageways. Because of this, we are going to simply list the main path to the boss fight chamber, then show the location of treasures on each floor separately.

How to Reach Baramos Boss Fight – Main Path:.

• Step 1: From the starting location, after entering the Baramos's Lair from the overworld, you will not be entering the main door that leads to the 'Entrance' area. Instead, you'll be moving around the eastern side of the castle, towards the pool of water in the northeast corner of the map.
• Step 2: When you reach the stairs that lead up to the pool of water, make a left turn and continue west until you reach another set of stairs. Go up the stairs, then look for a door on the right. Enter the door.
• Step 3: After entering the door, you'll be in the Eastern Tower. Make your way to the top and out the exit.
• Step 4: You'll now be on the roof of the castle, which is visible on the Surroundings map. Make your way SW across the roof, then day the stairs down to the lower level. Continue heading west, then go through the gaps in the double wall on the NW roof. Use the stair set in the NW corner of the roof.
• Step 5: The NW stairs lead down into the Central Tower. Head towards the stairs in the southwest corner, using the Safe Passage spell to cross the electrified floor panels. Take the stairs down to what we'll call B1 Passageway A.

• Step 6: Upon entering B1 Passageway A, you'll see that you can continue south, or turn and head east. You want to turn east, then make your way all the way to the stairs on the far eastern side of the map.
• Step 7: You'll now enter the South-East Tower. You'll see that you are on the southeastern portion of the South-East Tower map. Head northeast to the only available stairs and take them up to the roof. You'll then head west on the roof for a short distance before taking another set down. This will take you to the western section of the South-East Tower map. Now, you'll need to cross the grass heading NW, then take the only available door.
• Step 8: The door will lead to the small section in the northeast corner of the Central Tower. You'll only have one exit, a short walk from where you enter.
• Step 9: After leaving the Central Tower for a second time, you'll find yourself on B1 Passageway B. This is a long, slender corridor with a single entrance and exit. Make your way all the way north and head up the stairs.
• Step 10: You will enter the Throne Room. Head to the exit along the southern edge of the map, avoiding the floor panels.
• Step 11: Upon exiting the Throne Room, you'll find yourself on the Surroundings map again. The Throne Room is the large structure in the northwest corner of the map. Head east from that to the structure in the northeast corner, which sits on an island in the lake. This is the location of Baramos's Den, and where the boss fight takes place.

All Treasure in Baramos's Lair – Dragon Quest 3 Remake

All Surroundings Treasure:

• Treasure 1 (Chest): Prayer Ring
• Treasure 2 (Buried): Flowing Dress

The Surroundings map contains one of Dragon Quest III Remake's Friendly Monsters. The monster is an Armful, and for us, it was named Armstrong.

All Central Tower Treasure:

• Treasure 1: Mimic (enemy)
• Treasure 2: Dragon Mail

All South-East Tower Treasure:

• Treasure 1 (Chest): Hapless Helm
• Treasure 2 (Chest): Sage's Elixir
• Treasure 3 (Chest): Headsman's Axe
• Treasure 4 (Chest): Zombiesbane

To reach the three Treasure Chests in the SE section of the South-East Tower map, you'll want to reach the Central Tower section (See the steps in the main path above if you aren't sure how to reach the Central Tower). From the Central Tower, head out the door in the SE corner of the chamber, then head east across the roof. Take the stairs down, and you'll end up on the small platform that contains the three chests.

All B1 Passageway Treasure:

​​​​​​​

• Treasure 1 (Buried): Mini Medal (On left side of skeleton)

To reach this area, head to the northern section of the Entrance map. You'll see a staircase that heads west, to a lower level, and east, to an upper level. Take the western set, and you'll end up on the western side of what we'll call B1 Passageway C (to distinguish it from the two map sections with the same name that are found along the main path).

All Throne Room Treasure:

• Treasure 1 (Buried): Mini Medal (in front of throne)

How to Defeat Baramos – Dragon Quest 3 Remake

The first time you face Baramos in DQIII Remake, they will likely be the toughest foe you've faced up to that point. Like many of the game's difficult bosses, you'll simply need to make sure you have a good strategy, and are properly leveled.

What is Baramos Weak to in Dragon Quest 3 Remake?

Knowing Baramos's weaknesses is the key to having a good strategy for the fight. Baramos is weak to the following spells:

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

Unlike many bosses, Baramos is not weak to Zap in any form. At this point, you should have some higher-level spells like Kacrack and Swoosh. The Hero can't cast either of these spells, so you'll want to either use them for healing and let two spell casters focus on offense, or you can use Gust Slash.
