Conquering Zoma's Citadel: A Comprehensive Dragon Quest 3 Remake Guide

This guide provides a complete walkthrough of Zoma's Citadel in Dragon Quest 3 Remake, including treasure locations and strategies for defeating each boss. This challenging final dungeon tests your party's skills and knowledge.

How to Reach 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 Walkthrough: Floor by Floor

1F:

Navigate the chamber, avoiding Living Statues, to reach the throne. Activating the throne reveals a hidden passage.

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

B1:

This floor contains a single isolated chamber accessible from 1F.

• Treasure: Hapless Helm

B2:

Navigate the directional tiles (practice in the Tower of Rubiss if needed). The tiles operate using a color-coded directional system.

• 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 by falling through holes on B2) contains another friendly monster, a Liquid Metal Slime.

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

B4:

Proceed from the center south, circling upwards, then down to the southeast exit. Watch the cutscene upon entering.

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

Defeating Zoma and his Minions

Before facing Zoma, you'll battle the King Hydra, Soul of Baramos, and Bones of Baramos. You can use items between fights.

• King Hydra: Vulnerable to Kazap. Aggressive tactics are recommended due to its healing ability.
• Soul of Baramos: Weak to Zap attacks.
• Bones of Baramos: Similar weaknesses to the Soul of Baramos. Hits harder, so prioritize health management.

Zoma:

Zoma starts with a magic barrier. Wait for the prompt to use the Sphere of Light to remove the barrier, then exploit his weakness to Zap attacks (Kazap is highly effective). Prioritize health and revival; strategic, not aggressive, play is key.
