Reaching 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:

• 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, avoiding Living Statues, to reach the throne. The throne moves, revealing a passage.

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

B1:

B1 is primarily a connecting level. However, taking side stairs from 1F leads to an isolated chamber.

• Treasure 1 (Chest): 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 1 (Chest): Scourge Whip
• Treasure 2 (Chest): 4,989 Gold Coins

Follow the outer path. A detour leads to Sky, a friendly Soaring Scourger. Falling through holes on B2 leads to an isolated chamber with a Liquid Metal Slime.

• Treasure 1 (Chest): Dragon Dojo Duds
• Treasure 2 (Chest): Double-Edged Sword
• Treasure 3 (Chest): Bastard Sword (Isolated Chamber)

Defeating the Bosses

Before facing Zoma, you'll encounter:

• King Hydra: Vulnerable to Kazap. Aggressive tactics are effective.
• Soul of Baramos: Weak to Zap.
• Bones of Baramos: Similar weaknesses to the Soul of Baramos. Stronger attacks require careful health management.

Zoma:

Zoma is a strategic fight. Initially, he has 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). Prioritize HP and revive fallen party members. Use buffs, debuffs, and reflective equipment if available.
