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 final dungeon. Prepare for a challenging endgame experience that tests your party's skills and strategies.

Accessing Zoma's Citadel

After defeating Baramos, you'll enter the darkened world of Alefgard. To reach Zoma's Citadel, you must obtain the Rainbow Drop, requiring:

• Sunstone: Found in Tantegel Castle.
• Staff of Rain: Located in the Shrine of the Spirit.
• Sacred Amulet: Received from Rubiss after rescuing her in the Tower of Rubiss (requires the Faerie Flute).

Combine these items to create the Rainbow Drop, forming the bridge to Zoma's Citadel.

Floor-by-Floor 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 contains a single isolated chamber accessible from 1F.

• Treasure: Hapless Helm (chest).

B2:

This floor features directional tiles. Practice on 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 Soaring Scourger. A separate isolated chamber (accessible via B2's pitfalls) contains another friendly monster, a Liquid Metal Slime.

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

B4:

This is the final floor before Zoma. Watch the cutscene upon entering.

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

Boss Battles: A Strategic Approach

Before facing Zoma, you'll encounter three challenging bosses:

• King Hydra: Aggressive tactics are effective. Kazap spell deals significant damage.
• Soul of Baramos: Weak to Zap attacks.
• Bones of Baramos: Similar weaknesses to the Soul of Baramos; however, it hits harder.

Defeating Zoma

Zoma is the final boss. Conserve MP initially; Zoma starts with a magic barrier. Use the Sphere of Light to remove the barrier, then exploit Zoma's weakness to Zap attacks (Kazap is highly effective). Prioritize HP and utilize revives as needed. Strategic play, not aggression, is key.
