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 every monster encountered.

Reaching Zoma's Citadel

After defeating Baramos, you'll enter a perpetually dark 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.

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 floor contains a single treasure chest.

  • Treasure: Hapless Helm

B2:

Navigate the directional tiles (practice in the Tower of Rubiss if needed). The key is understanding the color-coded directional inputs.

  • Treasure: Scourge Whip, 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, a Liquid Metal Slime.

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

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

Defeating the Bosses

Before Zoma, you face 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; Kazap and Monster Wrangler combos are highly effective.

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). Prioritize HP and avoid over-aggression.
