Dragon Quest 3 Remake: Zoma\'s Citadel Walkthrough

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 final and most challenging dungeon. We'll cover reaching the citadel, navigating each floor, defeating the bosses, and identifying all treasure locations.

Reaching Zoma's Citadel

After defeating Baramos, you'll enter the darkened world of 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 Rainbow Bridge leading to the Citadel.

Zoma's Citadel Floor-by-Floor Walkthrough

1F:

Navigate around the chamber to reach the throne. Activating it reveals a hidden passage. Living Statues guard the central chamber.

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

B1:

This floor is primarily a passage to B2, unless you take the alternate stairs from 1F, leading to an isolated chamber.

• Treasure: Hapless Helm (chest)

B2:

Navigate the directional tiles (practice in the Tower of Rubiss if needed). The tiles' logic is as follows:

• North/South: Blue half of the diamond on left = press left; on right = press right. Orange follows the same logic.

• East/West: Orange arrow points in desired direction = press UP; points away = press DOWN.

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

B3:

Follow the outer edge. A detour to the southwest reveals Sky, a friendly monster. Falling through holes on B2 leads to an isolated chamber with a Liquid Metal Slime.

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

B4:

Navigate from the center-south, up and around, to the southeast exit. Watch the cutscene upon entry.

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

Defeating Zoma's Bosses

Before facing Zoma, you'll fight:

• King Hydra: Weak to Kazap. Aggressive strategy is effective.
• Soul of Baramos: Weak to Zap. Similar strategy to the previous encounter.
• Bones of Baramos: Also weak to Zap. More aggressive than the Soul.

Zoma:

Zoma starts with a magic barrier. Wait for the Sphere of Light prompt to remove the barrier, then exploit his weakness to Zap attacks (Kazap is highly effective). Prioritize HP and don't be overly aggressive. Buffs, debuffs, and damage reflection can be beneficial.
