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

Combining these items creates the Rainbow Bridge, leading to the citadel.

Zoma's Citadel Walkthrough

1F:

Navigate around the chamber to reach the throne. Activating it reveals a hidden passage. Expect a tough fight against Living Statues in the central chamber.

• Treasure 1F: Mini Medal (buried behind throne), Seed of Magic (electrified panel)

B1:

B1 is primarily a passage to B2, unless you take alternative stairs from 1F, leading to an isolated chamber containing:

• Treasure B1: Hapless Helm

B2:

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

• Treasure B2: Scourge Whip, 4,989 Gold Coins

B3:

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

• Treasure B3 (Main): Dragon Dojo Duds, Double-Edged Sword
• Treasure B3 (Isolated): Bastard Sword

B4:

Navigate around the chamber to reach the final boss encounter. Watch the cutscene upon entering.

• Treasure B4: Shimmering Dress, Prayer Ring, Sage's Stone, Yggdrasil Leaf, Dieamend, Mini Medal

Defeating the Bosses

Before facing Zoma, you'll fight the King Hydra, Soul of Baramos, and Bones of Baramos. Use items between fights.

• King Hydra: Vulnerable to Kazap. Aggressive tactics are effective.
• Soul of Baramos: Weak to Zap.
• Bones of Baramos: Similar weaknesses to the Soul of Baramos.

Defeating Zoma

Zoma is the final boss. Initially, he has a magic barrier. Wait for the prompt to use the Sphere of Light, removing the barrier and making him vulnerable to Zap attacks (Kazap is highly effective). Prioritize HP and avoid overly aggressive tactics.
