Dragon Quest 3 Remake: Zoma\'s Citadel Walkthrough

Conquer Zoma's Citadel: A Comprehensive Dragon Quest 3 Remake Walkthrough

This guide provides a complete walkthrough of Zoma's Citadel in Dragon Quest 3 Remake, the game's climactic dungeon. It includes strategies for each boss encounter and the location of all treasure.

Accessing 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 bridge to the Citadel.

Zoma's Citadel Walkthrough:

1F:

Navigate the chamber, circling either east or west to reach the throne. Activating the throne reveals a hidden passage. Living Statues guard the central chamber.

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

B1:

This level is optional, containing a single 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 path. A detour to the southwest reveals Sky, a friendly monster. Falling through holes on B2 leads to an isolated chamber with another friendly monster (Liquid Metal Slime).

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

B4:

Navigate the chamber to reach the final boss area. A cutscene plays upon entry.

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

Boss Battles:

Before facing Zoma, you'll battle:

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

Zoma:

Zoma starts with 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). Focus on strategic play, prioritizing HP and reviving fallen party members.
