Dragon Quest III Remake: Conquer Zoma's Castle Guide

Conquer Zoma's Citadel in Dragon Quest 3 Remake: A Comprehensive Guide

This guide provides a complete walkthrough of Zoma's Citadel in Dragon Quest 3 Remake, the game's climactic dungeon. It includes strategies for each boss encounter and the location of all treasure.

Reaching Zoma's Citadel

After defeating Baramos, you'll enter a darkened Alefgard. To reach Zoma's Citadel, you need the Rainbow Drop, created by combining:

• Sunstone (Tantegel Castle)
• Staff of Rain (Shrine of the Spirit)
• Sacred Amulet (Rubiss, after freeing her in the Tower of Rubiss – requires the Faerie Flute)

The Rainbow Drop creates the bridge to the Citadel.

Zoma's Citadel Walkthrough

1F:

Navigate the chamber, avoiding Living Statues, to reach the throne. The throne moves, revealing a hidden passage.

• Treasure: Mini Medal (buried behind throne), Seed of Magic (electrified panel)

B1:

This level is primarily a passage to B2, unless you take the side stairs from 1F.

• Treasure: Hapless Helm (chest)

B2:

This floor features directional tiles. Practice on the similar tiles in the Tower of Rubiss if needed. The key is understanding the color-coded directional inputs.

• Treasure: Scourge Whip (chest), 4,989 Gold Coins (chest)

B3:

Follow the outer path. A detour leads to Sky, a friendly monster. Falling through holes on B2 leads to an isolated chamber with another friendly monster.

• Treasure (Main Chamber): Dragon Dojo Duds (chest), Double-Edged Sword (chest)
• Treasure (Isolated Chamber): Bastard Sword (chest)

B4:

Navigate the chamber to reach the final battle. Watch the cutscene upon entry.

• Treasure: Shimmering Dress, Prayer Ring, Sage's Stone, Yggdrasil Leaf, Dieamend, Mini Medal (all in one chamber)

Boss Battles

Before facing Zoma, you'll fight:

• King Hydra: Vulnerable to Kazap. Aggressive play is recommended.
• Soul of Baramos: Weak to Zap.
• Bones of Baramos: Also weak to Zap. More aggressive than the Soul.

Defeating Zoma

Zoma starts with a magic barrier. Wait for the prompt to use the Sphere of Light, removing the barrier and making him vulnerable to Zap attacks (Kazap highly effective). Prioritize HP and don't be overly aggressive.
