After conquering Archfiend Baramos, you'll enter Alefgard's perpetually dark realm. Zoma's Citadel awaits – the final, formidable test. To reach it, you must assemble the Rainbow Drop:

Reaching Zoma's Citadel

• Sunstone: Found in Tantegel Castle.
• Staff of Rain: Located in the Shrine of the Spirit.
• Sacred Amulet: Received from Rubiss after rescuing her atop the Tower of Rubiss (requires the Faerie Flute).

Combine these items to create the Rainbow Drop, forming the bridge to Zoma's Citadel.

1F Walkthrough

Navigate the first floor to the throne in the north. Activating it reveals a hidden passage. Explore side chambers for treasure:

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

Prepare for a challenging encounter with Living Statues in the central chamber.

B1 Walkthrough

B1 is straightforward, leading to B2 via stairs. However, taking alternate stairs from 1F leads to an isolated chamber containing:

• Treasure 1 (Chest): Hapless Helm

B2 Walkthrough

This floor features directional tiles. Mastering them is crucial. The Tower of Rubiss (3rd floor, NW corner) offers practice tiles. The key is understanding the tile's color-coded directional indicators. Practice makes perfect!

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

B3 Walkthrough

The main path circles the chamber. A detour to the southwest reveals Sky, a friendly Soaring Scourger. Falling through holes on B2 leads to an isolated chamber with another friendly monster, a Liquid Metal Slime, and a chest containing:

• Treasure 1 (Chest): Bastard Sword

The main chamber holds:

• Treasure 1 (Chest): Dragon Dojo Duds
• Treasure 2 (Chest): Double-Edged Sword

B4 Walkthrough

The final floor before Zoma. Follow the path, starting from the center-south, and don't miss the important cutscene upon entry. A single chamber contains six chests:

• Treasure 1 (Chest): Shimmering Dress
• Treasure 2 (Chest): Prayer Ring
• Treasure 3 (Chest): Sage's Stone
• Treasure 4 (Chest): Yggdrasil Leaf
• Treasure 5 (Chest): Diamond
• Treasure 6 (Chest): Mini Medal

Defeating Zoma

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

King Hydra: Aggressive tactics are recommended; Kazap spells are highly effective.

Soul of Baramos: Weak to Zap attacks.

Bones of Baramos: Similar weaknesses to the Soul; Kazap and Monster Wrangler combos are effective.

Zoma: A strategic fight. Conserve MP initially. Use the Sphere of Light to break his magic barrier, then unleash Zap attacks. Prioritize HP and revive fallen party members as needed. Reflect damage spells and equipment are beneficial.

Citadel Monsters
