InDragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, players have to be prepared to take on the Lord of the Underworld, Zoma, as the final boss of the main game. This boss fight is the hardest battle the game has thrown at the player thus far, meaning their party should be well leveled and equipped to match. While this fight is technically the final boss,the game is not over once Zoma is defeated, meaning players have even more of an incentive to become as strong as possible.
By this point in theDQ3 Remake, players should have more than enough abilities and spells to comfortablychange their characters' Vocations. This will allow these characters to get higher stats as well as new sets of abilities and spells, which not only increase a character’s strength, but also their versatility in battle. For the average player,I recommend only changing Vocations once per character, as multiple Vocation changes per character can become very grindy and tiresome.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake Review: A New Classic Of An Old Classic
Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake successfully introduces a new generation to one of the best RPGs of all time, along with a host of improvements.
When it comes to facing Zoma, the Lord of the Underworld,players will want tomake use of healing spellsin order to deal damage. However,Vocations with either high Agility or Resilience can also help out a lot, so making use of a Warrior or Martial Artist is advised.
If players need to level up more, they should head to the small island north of Talontear Cave tofarm Metal Slimes.
I recommend making use of a Monster Wrangler over a Martial Artist due to howstrong Abilities like Wild Sideand Monster Pile-On are.Unlocking the Gadabout’s full range of Abilitiesfor a Sage to make use of Egg On, Spooky Aura, Hustle Dance, and Channel Anger will be incredibly helpful, as these are not spells and cannot be locked down. Using Egg On to buff the Warrior will double the damage of their next attack, which can be used to set up devastating novas.
How To Prepare For The Zoma Boss Fight
Auroral Helm & Sword of Kings
to have the best chance at beating Zoma, players should ensure that their party is fully geared up with the highest level of equipment possible. If players need more gold to buy some gear from vendors, I recommend competing inthe Monster Arenatowin hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake: How To Get The Ultimate Key
In Dragon Quest 3, players will need to explore the world to acquire the Ultimate Key in order to open any locked door around the entire map.
Also, players should have access to all 100 Mini Medals before tackling Zoma’s Citadel, so verify to collect those for all the rewards. The best equipment for the recommended party combination is below:
Equipment For Vocations
Hero
Weapon - Sword of Kings Shield - Hero’s Shield Helmet - Auroral Helm Armour - Auroral Armour
Warrior
Weapon - Stormlord’s Sword Shield - Power Shield Helmet - Mythril Helm Armour - Spiked Armour
Monster Wrangler
Weapon - Metal Wing Boomerang / Demon Spear Shield - Flame Shield Helmet - Great Helm Armour - Blessed Bikini
Sage
Weapon - Somatic Staff Shield - Goddess Shield Helmet - Thinking Cap Armour - Dragon Robe / Shimmering Dress
Players should also make note of the two optional side quests to receive the strongest weapon and helmet for the Hero. TheSword of Kingsandthe Auroral Helmcan both be acquired by this point, which the player should definitely do in order to maximize the party’s offensive and defensive capabilities. This will allow equipment like the Stormlord’s Sword to be used by the Warrior instead of the Hero, rather than relying on weapons like the Bastard Sword.
How To Defeat Zoma In Dragon Quest 3 Remake
Using The Sphere Of Light To Beat Zoma
Agility and Resilience are the most important stats for this fight, as going first in battle will make a huge difference. Having high stats from Vocation changes will help a lot, as Zoma is notorious for removing buffs that the player has set up.Making use of the Sphere of Lightwill debuff Zoma’s maximum HPand allow healing spells to be used offensively against him, dealing massive damage.
Once the player has defeated Zoma, they have effectively beaten the main game and canmove on to the postgame content. There, the party will be challenged much more egregiously than before. The Heavens can be grueling, but luckily there is more gear to be found for the party inDragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake.
