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 a darkened 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 freeing 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. Living Statues guard the central chamber.

• Treasure 1 (Buried): Mini Medal (behind throne)
• Treasure 2 (Buried): Seed of Magic (electrified panel)

B1:

This level is primarily a passage to B2, unless you access the isolated chamber from 1F.

• Treasure 1 (Chest): Hapless Helm

B2:

Navigate the directional tiles (practice in the Tower of Rubiss if needed). Remember: Blue = North/South (left/right D-pad based on tile position); Orange = East/West (up/down D-pad based on arrow direction).

• Treasure 1 (Chest): Scourge Whip
• Treasure 2 (Chest): 4,989 Gold Coins

B3:

Follow the outer edge. A detour to the southwest reveals Sky, a Friendly Monster. A separate isolated chamber (accessible via B2's holes) contains another Friendly Monster.

• Treasure 1 (Chest): Dragon Dojo Duds (Main Chamber)
• Treasure 2 (Chest): Double-Edged Sword (Main Chamber)
• Treasure 1 (Chest): Bastard Sword (Isolated Chamber)

B4:

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

• Treasure 1-6 (Chests): Shimmering Dress, Prayer Ring, Sage's Stone, Yggdrasil Leaf, Dieamend, Mini Medal

Defeating Zoma

Before facing Zoma, defeat 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; use Kazap and Monster Wrangler combos.

Zoma's fight requires strategy. Conserve MP initially; wait for the Sphere of Light prompt to remove his magic barrier, then exploit his Zap weakness with Kazap. Prioritize party health and utilize revives.
