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, including treasure locations and boss strategies. This challenging final dungeon tests your party's skills and requires strategic use of learned abilities.

Reaching Zoma's Citadel

After defeating Baramos, you enter Alefgard's perpetually dark world. 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

1F:

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

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

B1:

This level is primarily a staircase to B2, unless you take the alternate stairs from 1F, leading to an isolated chamber.

• Treasure: Hapless Helm

B2:

Cross 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 of the chamber. A detour to the southwest reveals Sky, a friendly monster. Falling through holes on B2 leads to an isolated chamber with 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, then down to the southeast exit. A special cutscene plays upon entry.

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

Defeating Zoma

The final section is a boss gauntlet: King Hydra, Soul of Baramos, Bones of Baramos, then Zoma. You can use items between fights.

• King Hydra: Vulnerable to Kazap. Aggressive tactics are recommended.
• Soul of Baramos: Weak to Zap.
• Bones of Baramos: Similar weaknesses to the Soul; use Kazap and Monster Wrangler combos.
• Zoma: Conserve MP initially. Use the Sphere of Light to remove his magic barrier, then exploit his Zap weakness with Kazap. Prioritize party health and revival.
