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 climactic dungeon. It details the path to the citadel, strategies for each boss encounter, and locations of all treasure chests.

Reaching Zoma's Citadel

After defeating Baramos, you'll enter a darkened Alefgard. To reach Zoma's Citadel, you must obtain the Rainbow Drop by collecting:

• 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)

Combining these items creates the Rainbow Bridge leading to the citadel.

Zoma's Citadel Walkthrough

1F:

Navigate the chamber, avoiding Living Statues, to the throne in the north. The throne moves, revealing a passage.

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

B1:

This level contains a single chest.

• Treasure 1 (Chest): Hapless Helm

B2:

Navigate the directional tiles (practice in the Tower of Rubiss if needed). The tiles operate as follows:

• North/South: Blue half of the diamond on the left = press left; on the right = press right. Orange follows the same logic.

• East/West: Orange arrow points in desired direction = press UP; away = press DOWN.

• Treasure 1 (Chest): Scourge Whip

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

B3:

Follow the outer path. A detour to the southwest reveals Sky, a Friendly Monster. Falling through holes leads to an isolated chamber with a Liquid Metal Slime and a chest.

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

B4:

Navigate from the center-south, up and around, to the southeast exit. Watch the cutscene upon entering.

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

Defeating Zoma and His Minions

Before facing Zoma, you'll fight:

• King Hydra: Weak to Kazap. Aggressive tactics are recommended.
• Soul of Baramos: Weak to Zap.
• Bones of Baramos: Weak to Zap. Hits harder than the Soul.

Zoma:

Zoma starts with a magic barrier. Conserve MP until the prompt to use the Sphere of Light appears. This removes the barrier, making Zoma vulnerable to Zap attacks (Kazap is highly effective). Focus on HP and strategic attacks, avoiding over-aggressiveness. Spells and equipment that reflect damage are beneficial.
